Hold your horses. I think I need to do some kind of AMA on how the courts work. SCOTUS vacating injunctive relief on determination that the lower court failed to provide sufficient justification does not end the case. When/if the full case gets to SCOTUS they might still rule in favor of the law. Whether that decision was correct or not, I do not know because I've not read the lower court's order. But people act like SCOTUS fucked it all up cuz they denied or vacated injunctive relief pending resolution on the merits. They fail to realize there is an entire process yet to play out. Man we need mandatory civics in this country again.
Thank you - here is quote from the Hill - I would be glad to be wrong.
"The appeals panel is now set to hear the student athlete’s appeal in full, and the case could ultimately return to the high court.
Justice Samuel Alito in a statement joined by Justice Clarence Thomas dissenting from the decision said the case “concerns an important issue that this Court is likely to be required to address in the near future.”
West Virginia in 2021 became the seventh state in the nation — and the sixth that year — to enact a law prohibiting transgender women and girls from competing on female sports teams. The measure, officially titled the “Save Women’s Sports Act,” bars transgender female athletes from participating in sports consistent with their gender identity in public elementary schools, high schools and universities.
West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice (R) could not cite a specific example of a transgender athlete with an unfair competitive advantage in his state when asked during an interview following his approval of the bill, but he said his experience as a girls’ basketball coach led him to believe the legislation is fair."

This is not taught in civics. Sounds more like a 101 course
Context?????
