在美国最高法院就各州限制跨性别运动员参与女子体育赛事的举措作出胜诉裁决后，参议员吉姆·贾斯蒂斯正呼吁国会采取下一步行动，将这些保护措施在全国范围内确立为法律。
曾以州长身份签署西弗吉尼亚州《保护女子体育法案》的贾斯蒂斯表示，该裁决为该州历经多年法律挑战的举措正了名，证明西弗吉尼亚州“从一开始就做对了”。
“老实说，这让我为西弗吉尼亚州感到无比自豪，”贾斯蒂斯在周二的采访中说道。“我对西弗吉尼亚州有偏爱，这是肯定的。但西弗吉尼亚州民众从一开始就做对了，这一点让我深感自豪。”

最高法院在“西弗吉尼亚州诉B.P.J.”和“利特尔诉赫科克斯”案中作出两项一致裁决，支持西弗吉尼亚州和爱达荷州基于生理性别限制女子体育赛事参与权的法律，强化了其余27个州已生效的类似法律。
2021年4月贾斯蒂斯签署众议院第3293号法案时，西弗吉尼亚州成为首批立法限制跨性别者参与女子体育赛事的州之一。
该法案要求公立学校和学院指定的女子运动队必须以生理性别为划分依据。该法案立即遭到法庭挑战，引发了数年诉讼，最终上诉至最高法院。
贾斯蒂斯表示，他和他的政府愿意为推进该法案承担政治和法律风险。
“我是一名教练，我当教练已经很久了，我执教女子和女孩的球队，而且一直都是这样，”贾斯蒂斯说。“我亲眼见证了她们多么努力地竞争、多么刻苦地训练，也深知《第九章》（注：美国联邦法律，禁止基于性别的教育歧视）有多么宝贵。我看到她们的梦想被扼杀。从我个人的立场出发，发自内心地说，从第一天起我就全力以赴。”
尽管最高法院支持了西弗吉尼亚州和爱达荷州的法律，但并未确立全国统一标准，而是由各州自行制定政策，这也为贾斯蒂斯推动联邦立法铺平了道路。

“还有更多工作要做，”贾斯蒂斯告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“这必须成为全国性的标准。”
贾斯蒂斯呼吁制定全国性法律之际，特朗普政府正与加利福尼亚州和缅因州等民主党领导的州就允许跨性别运动员参与女子体育赛事的政策展开斗争。唐纳德·特朗普总统与缅因州民主党州长珍妮特·米尔斯就该州的跨性别运动员政策产生分歧，并就类似规则起诉加利福尼亚州，称这两个州违反了针对女性和女孩的《第九章》保护条款。
尽管加利福尼亚州州长加文·纽森表示，他认为跨性别运动员参与女子体育赛事不公平，但加州总检察长罗布·邦塔仍在法庭上为该州的政策辩护，以应对特朗普政府的诉讼。
“最高法院的裁决不会影响加利福尼亚州的法律。该州将继续致力于确保每一位加州人，包括LGBTQ群体，都能得到尊严和尊重，”纽森办公室的一位发言人告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
特朗普政府与这两个州的诉讼仍在进行中。
自今年1月就职以来，贾斯蒂斯一直推动将西弗吉尼亚州的政策确立为全国标准，他共同发起了阿拉巴马州参议员汤米·图伯维尔提出的《保护女子和女孩体育法案》，即S.9法案。但该法案在2025年3月因未能获得参议院所需的60票而未能推进。
贾斯蒂斯周二暗示，他将继续支持旨在保护全美所有女孩和女性体育权益的立法。
“我一宣誓就任参议员，就立即着手保护女子体育，”贾斯蒂斯在一份声明中说道。“我们的女孩们值得有人愿意挺身而出为她们战斗。这就是为什么我自豪地共同发起了图伯维尔参议员的S.9法案，并向美国全国大学体育协会（NCAA）追问保护女子更衣室的相关问题。归根结底，这件事并不复杂，这只是常识。让我们保护我们的女子运动员，让女子体育属于女性，做正确的事。”

与此同时，贾斯蒂斯邀请各家庭搬到他所在的州，那里“践行常识”。

“来西弗吉尼亚州和爱达荷州吧，”贾斯蒂斯说。“看在上帝的份上，你到底为什么想留在加利福尼亚州？因为加利福尼亚州的情况简直莫名其妙，逻辑根本行不通。但在西弗吉尼亚州，你会看到很多美好的东西。”

贾斯蒂斯表示，这场辩论归根结底是为了保护女子运动员的参赛机会。
“五年来，我们一直在为此奔走，有很多优秀的女运动员一直在全力以赴，但在很多情况下，人们却对她们置之不理，”贾斯蒂斯告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“我们已经等了五年太久了，对于那五年里被落下的那些人，我们都应该道歉，但我们今天应该庆祝。”

Fresh off a U.S. Supreme Court victory for states restricting transgender athletes from girls’ and women’s sports, Sen. Jim Justice, R-W.Va., is calling on Congress to take the next step by making those protections the law nationwide.
Justice, who signed West Virginia’s “Save Women’s Sports Act” as governor, said the ruling vindicates the state’s approach after years of legal challenges and proves West Virginia “had it right all along.”
“To be perfectly honest, it makes me super proud of West Virginia,” Justice said in an interview Tuesday. “I’m prejudiced, you know, toward West Virginia, that’s for sure. But it makes me proud that the people of West Virginia had it right.”
SUPREME COURT MAKES RULING ON TRANS ATHLETES IN WOMEN’S SPORTS

The Supreme Court’s twin rulings in West Virginia v. B.P.J. and Little v. Hecox uphold laws in West Virginia and Idaho restricting participation in girls’ and women’s sports based on biological sex, reinforcing similar laws already on the books in 27 other states.
West Virginia became one of the first states to enact legislation restricting transgender participation in girls’ and women’s athletics when Justice signed House Bill 3293 in April 2021.
The law requires athletic teams designated for females at public schools and colleges to be based on biological sex. The measure was immediately challenged in court, leading to years of litigation before reaching the Supreme Court.
Justice said he and his administration were willing to take political and legal risks to advance the legislation.
“I’m a coach and I’ve been a coach forever and I coach women and girls and have done that forever,” Justice said. “I see how hard they compete, how hard they try, how valuable Title IX is. I see their dreams being extinguished. And from my standpoint, from my heart, I’ve been all in from day one.”
Although the Supreme Court upheld the laws in West Virginia and Idaho, it did not create a nationwide standard, leaving states to determine their own policies and setting the stage for Justice’s push for federal legislation.

“There’s still more that needs to come,” Justice told Fox News Digital. “This needs to be national.”
Justice’s call for a nationwide law comes as the Trump administration has battled Democratic-led states such as California and Maine over policies allowing transgender athletes to compete in girls’ and women’s sports. President Donald Trump has clashed with Democratic Maine Gov. Janet Mills over the state’s transgender athlete policy and has sued California over similar rules, arguing both states are violating Title IX protections for women and girls.
While Gov. Gavin Newsom has said he does not believe it’s fair for transgender athletes to compete in women’s sports, California Attorney General Rob Bonta is defending the state’s policy in court against the Trump administration’s lawsuit.
“The Supreme Court’s decision does not affect California’s laws. The state remains committed to ensuring every Californian, including the LGBTQ community, is met with dignity and respect,” a spokesperson for Newsom’s office told Fox News Digital.
The Trump administration’s lawsuits with both states are still ongoing.
Since taking office in January, Justice has pushed to make West Virginia’s policy the national standard by cosponsoring Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, or S.9. But the bill failed to advance in March 2025 after falling short of the 60 votes needed in the Senate.
Justice indicated Tuesday he will continue supporting legislation to protect women’s sports for all girls and women across the country.
“As soon as I was sworn in as Senator I got to work on protecting women’s sports,” Justice said in a statement. “Our girls deserve somebody willing to stand up and fight for them. That’s why I proudly cosponsored Senator Tuberville’s S.9 and pushed the NCAA for answers about protecting women’s locker rooms. At the end of the day, this isn’t complicated. It’s just common sense. Let’s protect our female athletes, keep women’s sports for women, and do what’s right.”

In the meantime, Justice extended the invitation for families to move to his state, where “commonsense” is practiced.

“Come to West Virginia and Idaho,” Justice said. “For God’s sakes, what in the world do you want to be in California for? Because the reason is just right out the window in California, It makes no sense at all. Logic doesn’t matter. But in West Virginia, you’ll find a lot of good stuff.”

Justice said the debate ultimately comes down to protecting opportunities for female athletes.
“For five years, we’ve been on this journey and there’s been a lot of beautiful, athletic girls and women that have been trying as hard as they can and people have, in many situations, turned their backs on them,” Justice told Fox News Digital. “We waited five years too long, and for those that fell through the cracks in those five years, we should all apologize, but we should celebrate today.”
