A 12-year-old trans kid wants to run on her school’s cross-country and track teams, but the state of West Virginia doesn’t want to allow it. This anti-trans case, West Virginia v. BPJ, is on emergency application at the Supreme Court, which means—the shadow docket. Ugh.
In a new episode of Boom! Lawyered, Jess and Imani discuss how the conservative movement is taking draconian measures on a made-up cultural war surrounding trans kids in sports.
Be sure to stay til the end of the episode for a special Boom! Lawyered announcement.
