Today you will read many sympathetic media stories about B.P.J., the male athlete who challenged WVâs law and lost at SCOTUS.
Iâm guessing none will mention that B.P.J. defeated 470+ girls 1,400+ times (including a state title) and sexually harassed our client Adaleia (pictured) in the girlsâ locker room. Sadly, Adaleia stopped playing the school sports she loved due to B.P.J.âs ongoing presence in girlsâ sports and spaces.
But weâll probably be lucky if those girls get even a passing mentionâlet alone a front-page photo.
This has been the pattern on this issue from far too many institutions of power. Boysâ feelings are the focus. Girlsâ safety, fairness, and opportunity take a back seat.âš
Iâm so thankful today that the Supreme Court reversed that pattern, acknowledged the reality of biological sex, and remembered the girls.
