Morrisey: ‘We will not stop fighting to protect girls' sports'
CHARLESTON, (WBOY) — Governor Patrick Morrisey made a Facebook post Saturday in response to a transgender athlete qualifying for the WVSSAC State Track Meet. In his post, Morrisey stated that it was 'wrong and unfair' for a 'boy' to be competing in girls' sports and that he was 'urging officials to keep separate scores so that the true winners can be awarded once we win in court.' PACE Enterprises holds golf tournament fundraiser in Morgantown Morrisey has spoken out against boys competing in girls' sports before and has asked that the case of West Virginia's 'Save Women's Sports Act' be taken to the Supreme Court after it was deemed unconstitutional by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals last year. The athlete Morrisey is referring to, Becky Pepper-Johnson, or B.P.J., of Bridgeport High School, was assigned male at birth but identifies as transgender and was granted an injunction to compete on the girls team in 2023. Morrisey, who was the West Virginia Attorney General at the time, said the injunction 'harms biologically female athletes, too, who will continue to be displaced as long as biological males join women's sports teams. In that way, the majority's cursory decision undermines equal protection—it doesn't advance it.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
