quote:

A West Virginia judge granted a preliminary injunction allowing several middle school girls to compete after the school district banned them from competition after refusing to play against a biological male, according to 12 WBOY, a local media outlet.

Five middle school female athletes forfeited their positions at a track meet in April after they were informed that they would have to compete against a biological male, prompting the school district to allegedly bar the girls from future competitions, according to WDTV News. The students sued, and Republican Attorney General Patrick Morrisey of West Virginia filed an amicus brief in support of the students.

A Harrison County judge ordered that the school’s decision be temporarily halted while the lawsuit plays out, according to 12 WBOY.

The good guys, in this case girls, win again.

Well not if the Judge didn’t also block the male from competing against them


Edit: otherwise the ruling by the Judge does nothing

Not really

The rational judgement would be

Reinstate the girls and ban males from participating in female sports

Thank God for sanity though the girls should have never been in that position to start with.

.

The same story was available on WGRL, a station with a much smaller footprint and much lower signal strength which has far fewer viewers unless they are showing beach volleyball

Unless he’s operating using current law in place, that, and the reinstatement of the girl’s ban, would be reversed immediately.
