Lawsuit Challenges Minnesota's Transgender Athlete Policies in High School Sports
- The Alliance Defending Freedom filed a lawsuit on behalf of Female Athletes United on May 23, 2025, in Minnesota challenging transgender athlete participation in school sports.
- The lawsuit builds on a Trump administration executive order and argues Title IX requires discrimination against transgender students, though this interpretation conflicts with existing federal rulings.
- The case cites an incident where a cisgender girl was hit by a pitch from a transgender girl, using it to justify banning transgender athletes from girls' sports nationwide.
- The lawsuit seeks a court ruling that allowing transgender athletes undermines the protections of Title IX and calls for a statewide ban on trans participants, raising fears about intrusive enforcement methods.
- If upheld, the ruling could extend anti-transgender discrimination in education nationwide, signaling that even protective jurisdictions face far-right legal challenges.
