A federal judge has dismissed the lawsuit that sought a ban on transgender students from entering into girls’ sports.
Local media outlets confirmed how the lawsuit has been dismissed that was originally brought on by a series of female high school athletes. They claimed that the state of Connecticut’s policy regarding the allowance of students to compete in sporting events that were based upon gender identity actually worked towards depriving them of the thought of fair competition. And that’s because transgender students started getting involved.
The students Selina Soule, Alanna Smith, Chelsea Mitchell, and Ashley Nicoletti all merged together and formed a lawsuit against Connecticut’s Schools’ Association, alongside several local school boards too.
They claimed that all trans students such as Andraya Yearwood as well Terry Miller had a clear biological advantage over them.
But on Sunday, before the case could pick up any more pace than it already had, the US District Court Judge named Robert Chatigny dissolved the case as he felt both Miller and Yearwood had already graduated, hence the case was rendered as moot.
“We are fighting for equality and fairness in the world of women’s sports,” mentioned the student from Connecticut who sued the trans policy currently in place.
The judge mentioned the decision by stating, “I hereby concluded that the case’s request to include enforcement of the CIAC policy is now moot because both students have graduated. These are the same students whose active participation in the girls’ track sparked outrage and controversy and provided the main reason for taking action in the first place.
” Hence, as the students are no longer part of the institution after graduating, the case was tossed away, mentioned reports.
