Adaleia Cross, a Bridgeport High School student in West Virginia, has spoken out after the Supreme Court’s ruling in the West Virginia women’s sports case. The ruling gave Cross a sense of peace after years of speaking out about the transgender athlete at the center of the case.
Background of the Case
Cross alleged that the transgender athlete made comments to her in the girls’ locker room that amounted to sexual harassment when both were students at Bridgeport Middle School. The ACLU previously denied the allegations, stating that their client and her mother deny these allegations and the school district investigated the allegations reported to the school by A.C. and found them to be unsubstantiated.
Cross’s family reported the alleged harassment to the school, but they claim that nothing was done to reprimand the trans athlete. The school district has not provided documentation related to the school’s investigation, despite repeated requests from Fox News Digital.
Supreme Court Ruling
The Supreme Court ruled on June 30 that schools may base eligibility for women’s and girls’ sports on biological sex. The court reversed rulings against West Virginia and Idaho, whose laws restrict girls’ and women’s sports teams to biological females.
Cross said that the ruling gave her a sense of peace, knowing that other girls can be protected from similar situations. She also sent a message to the athlete, saying that Jesus Christ loves them and has a place for them if they want to be there.
Cross’s experience has not been without challenges. She has lost friends and faced aggression and threats from a small group of people who do not support her. However, she said that her high school has been very supportive, with many teachers and administrators standing behind her.
