"But the way to stop this is simple, not easy, but simple: If there is a boy or man on the field, every girl or woman should walk off. Leave the male "transgender" competitor alone on the field. Alone. Nobody to compete against."
"The entire lunatic practice of allowing boys to claim they "identify" as girls and compete against actual girls in sports isn't going away until angry parents and actual girls and women who compete force it to stop. There's a surefire way to do that; more on that in a bit. In the meantime, one of those boys, "Becky" Pepper-Jackson, defied the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)'s claim that there is "no competitive difference" between boys and girls in sports to sweep almost an entire girls' track event in West Virginia.
Transgender athlete Becky Pepper-Jackson won a girls' state championship in West Virginia this week, before the U.S. Supreme Court could make a ruling on whether the state can ban Pepper-Jackson from competing against females.
Pepper-Jackson took first place for Bridgeport High School in the Class AAA state title with a personal best of 38 feet, 11.75 inches. The second-place winner, Paislee Babiczuk, of John Marshall, finished more than two feet shorter, only managing 36 feet 11 inches.
"Two feet shorter. "No competitive advantage." Yeah, right. It gets worse:
Pepper-Jackson has now earned state champion status in dominant fashion, after the athlete's own lawyers at the ACLU argued that males don't have a competitive advantage over females, with ACLU attorney Joshua Block arguing "if the evidence shows there are no relevant physiological differences between B.P.J. and other girls, then there's no basis to exclude her."
West Virginia Attorney General John McCuskey, who is helping to lead the legal defense against Pepper-Jackson and the ACLU, sent a letter to the Supreme Court on Tuesday highlighting Pepper-Jackson's performance this season and how it compares to female competitors.
"As a high school sophomore, Pepper-Jackson is not finishing 'near the back of the pack ...' but is instead defeating every— or nearly every — female in the state in these events. I would appreciate it if you could circulate this message to the members of the court," McCuskey wrote.
