But a separate case in Connecticut <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/regulation\/court-battles\/3778160-transgender-athletes-score-legal-victory-in-connecticut-case\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">went the other way<\/a> on Friday. Alliance Defending Freedom has been fighting a rule imposed by the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference (CIAC) allowing boys who \u201cidentify\u201d as girls to compete in girls\u2019 high school track and field events for several years. They brought the suit on behalf of four actual high school girls (who are now adults) who protested the fact that they had been bumped out of the running and the opportunity for collegiate scholarships by two boys who set new state records in multiple girls\u2019 events. But a panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled yesterday that barring the trans athletes would be a violation of Title IX, supporting a ruling by a lower court that found against the plaintiffs for a different reason. (The Hill)<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Transgender athletes in Connecticut and their advocates secured a victory on Friday when an appeals court ruled that the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference (CIAC) may move forward with a policy that allows transgender girls to compete on female sports teams.<\/p>\n<p>A three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed that discrimination against transgender students violates Title IX, which prevents educational institutions that receive federal funding from discriminating based on sex.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday\u2019s ruling is a critical victory for fairness, equality, and inclusion,\u201d Joshua Block, a senior staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) who represented the CIAC, five Connecticut school boards and two former athletes in the case, said in a statement. \u201cThis critical victory strikes at the heart of political attacks against transgender youth while helping ensure every young person has the right to play.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This ongoing case is centered on two former trans high school athletes, Terry Miller and Andraya Yearwood, who we\u2019ve been <a href=\"https:\/\/hotair.com\/jazz-shaw\/2018\/06\/10\/latest-boys-beat-girls-track-event-story-n258957\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">writing about here<\/a> since 2018. The boys broke several girls\u2019 track and field records when competing, leading to the parents of four of the actual girls filing a lawsuit. A lower court found in favor of the CIAC last year, saying that the case was \u201cmoot\u201d because both boys graduated in 2020 and were not competing in sports in college.<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s really not the point, is it? What\u2019s at issue here is the question of federal and state governments interpreting an Obama-era declaration regarding Title IX, claiming that discrimination rules apply to \u201cgender identity\u201d as part of a broader ban on discrimination based on sex.<\/p>\n<p>I won\u2019t waste your time on the reasons that transgender athletes are undermining or destroying girls\u2019 and women\u2019s sports and all of the data that supports this obvious reality. We\u2019ve covered it all here too many times as it is. The reality is that males should not be allowed to compete against females in any sport involving physical activity. And no amount of surgery or hormones will fully level the playing field after boys have finished their primary growth spurt through their early teens.<\/p>\n<p>While this court ruling is a disappointment, it likely still won\u2019t be the end of the road for this question. It\u2019s too early to say whether the issue will reach the Supreme Court, but if it does, we can only hope that the more conservative majority there will force some sanity back into this conversation. This is about far more than just settling the wording of Title IX. (Though that definitely needs to be squared away.) The justices also need to clarify questions regarding genital mutilation surgeries performed on children and the administration of powerful \u201cpuberty-blocking\u201d drugs that have never been approved for such use by the FDA or even had comprehensive clinical trials conducted with them.<\/p>\n<p>This entire transgender craze that\u2019s been sweeping the nation, particularly in our public schools, has resulted in an unmitigated disaster. The madness needs to end. And if common sense is unable to prevail, the courts will need to step in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We recently learned of a victory in a court battle over attempts by the government to force doctors to perform \u201cgender-affirming\u201d surgery on patients.
