West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey Reiterates Commitment to Protecting Girls’ Sports Amid Controversy

In a recent showdown over gender and athletics, West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey has once again vowed to champion the rights of female athletes after a biological boy participated in the state track championship against girls. This incident has reignited the debate surrounding a state law aimed at barring boys and men from competing in female sports, which has been temporarily halted by a federal appeals court. The state is currently appealing this decision to the Supreme Court.

On Saturday, Morrisey took to Facebook to express his discontent, stating, “Currently, a boy is competing in girls’ sports at the high school state track meet in West Virginia. This situation is wrong and unfair. I urge officials to maintain separate scorekeeping so that the true winners may be recognized when we prevail in court.”

He further asserted, “Our fight to protect girls’ sports will not waver.”

The legal challenge to the state law has been brought forth by the American Civil Liberties Union and its West Virginia chapter on behalf of Becky Pepper-Jackson, a biological boy identifying as a girl who sought to compete on female teams. Now 13, Pepper-Jackson recently secured third place in the discus and eighth in the shot put at the championship, which has drawn significant attention.

Morrisey has further encouraged coaches to support girls who wish to protest against boys competing in their events. He previously stated, “What’s happening in West Virginia—boys competing against girls—is both abhorrent and legally questionable. While we anticipate the Supreme Court’s ruling, I urge all coaches to allow these courageous athletes to stand up for their rights without fear of repercussions.”

Morrisey concluded his remarks by appealing to tournament officials to keep comprehensive results, ensuring that rightful winners are acknowledged once the Supreme Court delivers its verdict in favor of the state.
