High School Softball Players Sue Minnesota Leaders over Transgender Students in Sports

  • On May 20, 2025, Female Athletes United and three Minnesota high school softball players sued Attorney General Keith Ellison and others over state policies allowing transgender athletes in girls' sports.
  • The lawsuit follows a decade-old Minnesota State High School League policy permitting athletes to compete according to gender identity, despite opposition and a conflicting 2021 Trump executive order banning transgender women from girls' sports.

  • Female Athletes United argues the policy violates Title IX by discriminating against female athletes, while Minnesota officials, led by Ellison, maintain the state’s Human Rights Act protects transgender students' participation rights.
  • The lawsuit requests a court order to prevent transgender athletes from competing with or opposing female participants represented by Female Athletes United, highlighting continuing legal disputes over gender identity policies and fairness in Minnesota sports.
