SCOTUS allowed a 12-year-old transgender student who identifies as a girl to continue competing on a West Virginia middle school sports team on Thursday while a lawsuit over the state ban proceeds in lower courts.

In a brief, unsigned order, the justices declined to act on a petition sent to them regarding an appeals court order that made it possible for the student, Becky Pepper-Jackson, to maintain a place on the school's track and cross-country teams.Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas wrote they would have allowed the state law to be enforced against the student.

ADF senior counsel Christiana Kiefer told the Washington Examiner: "Today’s decision didn’t end this case." A panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit is now slated to hear the student athlete's appeal in full, though the case might return to the Supreme Court.

Maybe it’s time for the girls to let this Trans run alone. Don’t race him. If your forced to run with the boys go join the boys team. Watch how fast things change.

No such thing as a 12 year old transgender person.
