Softball player of the Minnesota High School Blast State’s transgender athletes politics in federal laws

A non-profit organization based in Texas has filed a lawsuit against several Minnesota agencies, including the Minnesota State High School LeagueWith the assertion that their policy for transgender athletes violates IX titles against title IX and undermining fairness and security for athletes.

The lawsuit was submitted on Monday before the Federal Supreme Court by female athletes United, a non -profit organization, that says that they “support themselves for fairness, security and equal opportunities for women and girls in sports”. The organization states that it has members of the whole country, including athletes who take part in the high school sports in Minnesota.

“Boys displace and defeat girls in competitive sport,” the complaint says and adds that Minnesota’s policy, with which athletes can play based on their gender identity “The possibilities for male athletes expand the opportunity to experience the winning at the expense of the athletes,” said the plaintiffs.

The accused listed in the complaint include Keith Ellison, Attorney General of Minnesota, the managing director of Minnesota State High School League, Erich Martens, Minnesota Department of Human Rights Commissioner Rebecca Lucero and Minnesota Commissioner of Education Willie Jett. The lawsuit was submitted in the name of three students in the counties Anoka and Dakota.

The lawsuit claim that Minnesota’s transgender athlete policy, which enables “biologically male students” to participate in female sports, if they have identified as female, led to “defeat these athletes in competitive sports”.

The lawsuit states that a 16-year-old girl on the Maple Grove Senior High School, who is a member of female athletes United, has lost in the university soft ball against a team with a “biologically male athlete” and in a regular game of the season and in a regular section.

“Losing the sections, her team had no chance of moving to the state tournament,” the lawsuit said.

The lawsuit claims that another member of the athletes United, a 16-year-old athlete at the Farmington High School, was hit by a pitch by a “biologically male athlete” who participates with the softball of girls. The girl had “never experienced pain when they were hit by parking spaces on other occasions,” the lawsuit said.

The school districts listed as defendants regulate the high school in Maple Grove and Farmington.

In addition to the end of the participation of transgender athletes in female sports, the complaint tries that the accused have “corrected” all records in which members of athletes have lost “biologically male athletes” or teams.

Ellison’s office published the following explanation in response to the lawsuit:

“In addition to exercise and the fun of the competition, sport, comes with so many advantages for young people.

And the state’s Ministry of Health said: “The Minnesota Human Rights Act is one of the country’s strongest civil rights laws and protects every Minnesotan from discrimination. We will react to court.”

The public schools in the Farmington region published an explanation in which she said that it was “the lawsuit submitted on May 19th. We take all concerns very seriously. However, as a question of practice, the district does not comment on any pending or active legal disputes.”

The WCCO turned to the other defendants mentioned in the lawsuit and is waiting for an answer.
