Is this kid even able to start transitioning? West Virginia placed restrictions on minors being able to transition.
 By RACHEL BOWMAN FOR DAILYMAIL.COM
PUBLISHED: 21:27 EDT, 21 April 2024 
A West Virginia transgender athlete won her shot put competition in her first sporting event following an appeals court ruling that allowed her to participate - as other contestants refused to play against her.
Becky Pepper-Jackson, 13, competed in the Harris County Middle School Track and Field Championship on Thursday, two days after a court ruled West Virginia’s transgender sports ban violates the teen's right under Title IX.
Pepper-Jackson took home first place in the shot put competition with her 32-foot effort, three feet further than second place, and she placed second in discus.
Despite being legally allowed to compete, some athletes protested Pepper-Jackson's participation by refusing to play against her. 
Five girls from Lincoln Middle School stepped up to the circle for their turn, then refused to throw the ball.

Becky Pepper-Jackson (pictured), 13, won her shot put competition in her first sporting event following an appeals court ruling that allowed her to participate
In addition to taking puberty blockers and estrogen hormone therapy, Pepper-Jackson has legally changed her name and has a birth certificate listing her as female
Offering the teen a 'choice' between not participating in sports and participating only on boys' teams 'is no real choice at all,' Judge Toby Heytens wrote in the ruling.'
The defendants cannot expect that B.P.J. will countermand her social transition, her medical treatment, and all the work she has done with her schools, teachers, and coaches for nearly half her life by introducing herself to teammates, coaches, and even opponents as a boy,' Heytens wrote.
In a statement, ACLU West Virginia attorney Josh Block deemed the ruling a 'tremendous victory.'Following the decision, West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey said he was 'deeply disappointed' and vowed to continue fighting to safeguard Title IX.
'The law was passed more than five decades ago and was meant to address sex discrimination in education by ensuring that women had equal opportunities to participate in federally-funded programs.''We must keep working to protect women’s sports so that women’s safety is secured and girls have a truly fair playing field,' Morrisey said on Tuesday. 'We know the law is correct and will use every available tool to defend it.'
In the ruling, the appeals court reaffirmed that government officials had the authority to establish separate sports teams for boys and girls and enforce the line between them.
'We also do not hold that Title IX requires schools to allow every transgender girl to play on girls teams, regardless of whether they have gone through puberty and experienced elevated levels of circulating testosterone,' the court proclaimed.'We hold only that the district court erred in granting these defendants’ motions for summary judgment in this particular case and in failing to grant summary judgment to B.P.J. on her specific Title IX claim.'
In a dissenting opinion, Judge G. Steven Agee wrote the state can separate teams by gender assigned at birth 'without running afoul of either the Equal Protection Clause or Title IX.'
West Virginia is among the 24 states barring transgender women and girls from competing in sports consistent with their gender identity.
Pepper-Jackson told NBC News in October that she would not give up on her fight to compete in girl's sports.
'I want to keep going because this is something I love to do, and I’m not just going to give it up,' she said. 'This is something I truly love, and I’m not going to give up for anything.'
Her mother, Heather Pepper-Jackson, said, 'She likes to do the best in everything, be it algebra or running or shot put or discus.'
'She tries to excel in everything that she does, just like any other kid... if she didn't start the fight, who's going to?'

I have over a thousand photos from the past year that I need to start editing, which I am going to do in no particular order (sorry, I don't have the patience or self-discipline to be chronological).
For now I give you this... THING...
which I encountered this fall in West Virginia. I have no idea what it is. It's just in some random farmer's field, and it gives normal Christian x Star Gate cult crossover vibes. Whatever it is, I enjoy it.

Warbler Showdown; Bracket 7, Poll 1
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Virginia's Warbler (Leiothlypis virginiae)
IUCN Rating: Least Concern
Range: migratory; north as far as Nebraska, Wyoming, and Idaho, though typically breeds in the southwestern states; overwinters in central-southern Mexico
Habitat: breeds mostly in pinyon-juniper and oak woodlands, but can be found in high, mixed-conifer forests as well; overwintering habitat is mountainous but otherwise somewhat varied- thorn scrub, tropical deciduous, oak and pine-oak woodland.
Subspecies: none
Lucy's Warbler (Leiothlypis luciae)
IUCN Rating: Least Concern
Range: migratory; originally occurred in a handful of Southwest states, but due to climate change their range is rapidly moving northward along riparian corridors. Overwintering range lies along the Mexican Pacific coast.
Habitat: breeds in dense lowland riparian woodlands, particularly mesquite and bosque types; overwintering data is hard to come by but it seems to be restricted to dry washes and riparian gallery forests here too.
Subspecies: none
Image Sources: Virginia's (Kent Kleman) Lucy's (Nick Athanas)
