Last month, Townhall covered how several middle school girls who were forced to compete against a biological male who thinks he’s a woman “stepped out” during the shot put and discus competitions. Footage of the event obtained by Outkick went viral. The girls who boycotted the competition are now barred from competing going forward.

This comes just 2 days after the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals blocked the WV law that says you must compete in the category that matches your sex.

The boycott came after a federal appeals court struck down a West Virginia law that protects female athletes from male athletes who think they are women, which Townhall covered. The child at the center of the lawsuit, a 13-year-old “transgender” child, argued that the law prevented “her” from competing in girls’ competitions. Reportedly, this is the child who was permitted to compete in the track and field event.
Now, reports broke that a high school track athlete in Bridgeport, West Virginia, who joined the lawsuit over the inclusion of male athletes in women’s sports has alleged that the transgender athlete at the center of the lawsuit made “several sexually abusive and vulgar remarks about her,” according to a report from Reduxx:
According to a statement by the 15 year-old girl added as evidence to the lawsuit State of Tennessee, et al v. Cardona, et al (U.S. Secretary of Education) on May 8, Pepper-Jackson, 13 years-old and identified as B.P.J., made “several offensive and inappropriate sexual comments” towards Cross. The harassment escalated, she said, during their final year of middle school, when “the comments became much more aggressive, vile, and disturbing.”
The suit alleges that Pepper-Jackson would say “suck my dick” to both the complainant and other girls on the team.
“During the end of that year, about two to three times per week, B.P.J. would look at me and say ‘suck my dick.’ There were usually other girls around who heard this. I heard B.P.J. say the same thing to my other teammates, too,” Cross said.
“B.P.J. made other more explicit sexual statements that felt threatening to me. At times, B.P.J. told me quietly ‘I’m gonna stick my dick into your pussy.’ And B.P.J. sometimes added ‘and in your ass,’ as well. These comments were disturbing and caused me deep distress.”
The transgender boy at the center of a viral video showing girls forfeiting against him in shotput has now been accused of sexual harassment.

Becky Pepper-Jackson, 13, is alleged to have told at least one girl: "I’m gonna stick my d*ck into your p*ssy."https://t.co/E3FpWFwcMv
Reduxx reported that these remarks were said as the transgender athlete shared a locker room with teen girls, as well as during practice.
“I also worry about the little 6th-grade girls who are on the same team as B.P.J. right now. If I were in 6th grade and had to deal with sexual comments from a biological male two years older than me who was changing in the same locker room as me, I wouldn’t even play sports. It wouldn’t be worth it,” the high school athlete explained.

This is not the first time reports have indicated that transgender athletes have been permitted to use women’s locker rooms and other facilities, making women uncomfortable. Last year, Paula Scanlan, one of Will "Lia" Thomas' former teammates, explained that she was forced to share a locker room with him and was not allowed to speak out against it.
“There was something going on in that athletic department that wanted to keep us quiet. And I was like, ‘this is getting scary,’” Scanlan explained. She said that girls were told in a meeting, without Thomas present, “do not talk to the media, you will regret it.”
