A 'Trans Girl' Can Play Against Females in This State, Judge Rules

This week, Townhall covered how two teenage boys who think they are girls are suing New Hampshire education officials over a new law that bans some transgender students from competing in school sports that match their gender identities. 

The students, Parker Tirrell, 15, and Iris Turmelle, 14, along with their families argued in their lawsuit that the new law violates Title IX, the federal civil rights legislation that prohibits sex discrimination in federally funded education programs and activities.

These boys think they are entitled to compete against women in their sports and take away their awards and opportunities. 

This week, a federal judge ruled that a Virginia school board can’t block an 11-year-old “transgender girl” from playing against females in tennis. 

According to Fox News, U.S. District Court Judge M. Hannah Lauck issued the ruling last week. The student at the center of the lawsuit previously sued the Hanover County School Board for discrimination for not being allowed to compete against girls (via Fox News):

Lauck issued a preliminary injunction on the matter Friday, saying the plaintiff "established that the Board excluded her, on the basis of sex, from participating in an education program when it denied her application to try out for (and if selected, to participate on) her school’s girls’ tennis team." The lawsuit only identifies the student as "Janie Doe."

[...]

Lauck, who oversees the Eastern District of Virginia and was appointed by then-President Obama in June 2014, argued that preventing the student from joining the team "denies her the opportunity to play school tennis entirely or demands that she contravene her social transition in order to participate in school athletics."

"Because Janie Doe faces a litany of harms ranging from medical regression, social isolation and stigma, financial and logistical burdens, and the dignitary harms of either ‘outing’ her as transgender or communicating that transgender students are not welcomed or encouraged to participate in school athletics at all, Janie Doe has made more than a clear showing that the discrimination has harmed her," Lauck wrote.

The lawsuit was filed on behalf of the left-wing American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

Reportedly, the student has “identified as a female” since age 7.

"We jumped through every hoop Hanover County School Board asked us to, and I hate that we had to go all the way to court just so our child could play on a team she already made," the student's father said in a news release from the ACLU. "As a family, we should be the ones determining our children’s participation in extracurriculars, not school board officials trying to score political points by bullying my daughter."
