(FreePressBeacon.com) – In an effort to prevent female-identifying biological male athletes from competing against them, female athletes are fighting back as they asked the Supreme Court to ensure fairness in their competitions.
This announcement comes from the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), which is working on several cases involving the Biden administration’s transgender policies that allow biological males who identify as females to compete in women’s sports.
One case is B.P.J. v. West Virginia State Board of Education, where West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey and ADF are asking the Supreme Court to hear their case after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit undermined West Virginia’s ability to protect fairness in women’s sports.
The ADF stated, “The states of West Virginia and Idaho, together with attorneys from Alliance Defending Freedom, asked the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the cases of female athletes who are seeking to protect women’s sports.”
The other case is Hecox v. Little, where Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador and ADF are asking the high court to uphold their state’s Fairness in Women’s Sports Act after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit prevented its enforcement.
Morrisey explained, “Back in April, the 4th Circuit handed down a 2-1 ruling that reversed an earlier decision upholding West Virginia’s Save Women’s Sports Act. I promised back then that I would keep fighting for the safety, well-being, and fairness in women’s sports, and now I’m keeping that promise.”
Similarly, Labrador asked for the same fairness and opportunities in Idaho, underscoring that the state is committed to ensuring that its women and girls get a fair shot on and off the field.
He also emphasized that Idaho has been fighting for fair and equal athletic competition, and activists have been pushing a radical agenda that will ultimately sideline women and girls.
Moreover, in B.P.J., a middle-school male athlete competing on a West Virginia girls’ track team finished ahead of almost 300 girls over three years in cross-country and track-and-field events.
In the second case, two transgender males who ran track and cross-country at Idaho State University are defending Idaho’s women’s sports law alongside the state.
Additionally, the two women are long-time athletes who are well familiar with the differences in strength, speed, and stamina between comparably gifted and trained male and female athletes.
