The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals disagreed with an earlier district court ruling and Judge Heytens ruled that the state's ban violated Title IX by discriminating against the trans girl athlete.
Offering the trans girl athlete a 'choice' between not participating in sports or only playing on boys teams was deemed no real choice as it would countermand her social transition.
The judge highlighted that participating on boys teams would expose the trans girl athlete to physical differences due to testosterone levels, emphasizing the ban's discriminatory impact.
