Federal court rejects challenge from female athletes to Connecticut transgender sports policy
Fox News
A court tossed a case brought by four female track athletes who alleged Connecticut's transgender inclusion policy puts girls at a disadvantage.
Plaintiffs had asked the court for an injunction to alter track records and erase the victories of two transgender athletes, biological males, who broke 17 girls' track meet records and took 15 women's state track championship titles.

The four track athletes, Selina Soule, Chelsea Mitchell, Alanna Smith, and Ashley Nicoletti and their mothers were represented by the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF). ADF attorneys argued that permitting transgender athletes to compete on girls teams results in "student who are born female" having materially fewer opportunities for victory, public recognition, athletic scholarships, and future employment than "students who are born male." They alleged this was a violation of Title IX rules against sex discrimination.
