The US Supreme Court has determined that a 12-year-old transgender girl in West Virginia can continue to participate in school sports that align with her gender, marking the first time that the nation’s high court has weighed into the nationwide legislative campaign to prevent trans youth from joining school sports.
On 6 April, the Supreme Court voted 7-2 to reject the state’s attempt to enforce its ban and prevent Becky Pepper-Jackson from playing on her middle school’s track and field team – at least for now.
