WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Senator Jim Justice spoke at a rally in support of female athletes before the Supreme Court to demand the Court protect female athletics, female locker rooms, and female spaces from biological males:
“Biological males should not be competing in female sports – plain and simple. How bad has this become? It’s really sad to see it come to this point, but at the end of the day we will win. This is common-sense vs. radical leftism, and our girls are the ones paying the price. I am a girls’ basketball coach and have been for years – I’ve seen what they can achieve, which is why I will keep fighting every day for our female athletes until they are guaranteed a fair playing field. It is vital the Court uphold Title IX as originally intended,” said Senator Jim Justice.
