WV governor laments transgender track athlete winning: ‘Fundamental unfairness’

West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey lamented a track athlete, who is transgender, winning a championship.

Becky Pepper-Jackson won the shot out, according to reports. 

"The state track and field Championship confirms the fundamental unfairness of letting boys compete in girls' sports. It’s just plain wrong to allow a boy to participate and win a girls’ sporting event," he wrote on X.

"That's why I defended the Save Women's Sports Act as West Virginia’s Attorney General and filed the appeal to allow the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold our law," he added. 

He continued, writing, "As Governor, I've continued the fight for girls' sports and have made clear that under my watch West Virginia will celebrate the true winners of these championships."  

Morrisey said he is "confident that our West Virginia case will ultimately prevail at the Supreme Court and expect we will hear more definitively soon."
