Allowing 13-year-old Becky Pepper-Jackson to compete in girls’ sports “harms no one,” according to the family’s lawyers, but some of the 100 girls beaten by the transgender teen might disagree.
filed by Lambda Legal and the American Civil Liberties Union said Becky, then 11, had a “love of running” and wanted to try out for the cross-country and track teams, but it turns out the student has a talent for throwing events.
Becky’s shot-put best distance improved by 53% from last year, while the two girls who went to the conference championships with Becky improved their personal bests by 32% and 9%, evidence that Becky is “outpacing girls in performance growth at an unusual rate,” the lawsuit said. In April, the Supreme Court denied Mr. Morrisey’s request for an emergency injunction letting the state enforce H.B. 3293, which would have barred Becky from participating in girls’ track and field.
Heather Jackson said she and Becky were driving home from cross-country practice when they learned of the high court’s decision.
