Court: Connecticut High School Females’ Discrimination Case Over Males In Girls Sports Can Move Forward

Connecticut federal court rules that Plaintiffs’ Complaint alleging discrimination has enough substance to move forward to discovery and trial

We have been covering the case of four female high school athletes in Connecticut who got jacked out of numerous track titles by biological boys for over five years now, and the case certainly has had its ups and downs:

2019: Connecticut: High School Athletes File Federal Complaint Over ‘Transgender Women’ Participation in Female Sports Competitions

2020: Connecticut: Judge Rules Transgender Sprinters Competing Against Girls Cannot Be Called “Males” In Court . . . Or Else

2021: Judge Dismisses Lawsuit to Block Transgender Females From Competing in Female Sports

2022: Federal Appeals Court Rejects Challenge To Connecticut Policy Permitting Boys Who Identify As Girls To Play in Girls’ Sports

As you can see, the case looked dead in the water in 2022 when the federal Second Circuit court of appeals affirmed the Connecticut federal trial-level court’s conclusion that the four Plaintiffs in the case had their case “mooted out” when they all graduated from high school. As Professor Jacobson said at the time:

Their case shouldn’t have been “mooted” simply because they graduated.  They suffered concrete damage in the form of lost opportunities to establish credentials that would serve them long after high school was over and therefore deserve compensation for that injury, even if they are no longer subject to ongoing discrimination because they’re no longer in school.

This need to go through, so that other libtards won't get stupid ideas.

Taking large sums of money from those schools that permit this is the way to stop it.

I would even file suit against the individuals within those schools to face federal criminal charges of breaking protections of Title IX

You need to find out what level the decision was made. GENERALLY This decision is not made at the school level, it has to go through district or county level.

For the sake of school athletics, if you were born with a 'Y' chromosome, you're a dude.

Take all the estrogen you want, but if you have a 'Y' chromosome, you're just a dude with boobs.
