Selina Soule, a track and field champion who was forced to compete against biological males in high school, pleaded with other women to take a stand in defense of female athletes as she prepares for a legal battle against the state of Connecticut.
"Everybody who has encountered this issue needs to speak up and ask for fairness," Soule said Wednesday on "America Reports." "I was one of the very first to start speaking on this issue, and it’s taken awhile, but we are finally starting to get somewhere…we need to protect every single girl in this country,"
Soule urged "everybody out there…to start speaking on this issue and ask for fairness to be restored to women sports."
Soule made the comment as she heads back to court to appeal her case challenging a Connecticut ruling that allows transgender students to participate in sports consistent with their preferred gender.
Soule and other athletes were high school track student-athletes in 2020 when they first filed the lawsuit against the Connecticut Association of Schools, alleging that the policy allowing biological males to compete against women violated Title IX.
The Alliance Defending Freedom is now working to appeal a ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Robert Chatigny, who dismissed the lawsuit on procedural grounds, saying there was no dispute to resolve because the two transgender athletes have graduated, and the plaintiffs could not identify other female transgender athletes.
Soule's attorney, Christiana Kiefer, who joined her client in the Fox News interview, said women are being robbed of athletic opportunities in their own sports because of the unfair physical advantage possessed by biological men.
"Girls deserve to compete on a level playing field, and what Selena experienced…was being sidelined in her own sport and that’s a clear violation of Title IX," she argued.

Maybe now they will see or find a better use for their abilities then these competitions?
I dont see the reason for most sports other than pride. There are so many more important things in daily life and relationships that matter on a greater scale to God than who won a competition of sport. Gym class or school sports ai understand. I dont see why people should spend years beyond that focused on any sport.
In my career i see loads of people injured due to excessive exercise, sports, golf, yoga, pickle ball included. Stupid selfishness, addiction to their habit, of running, walking, dance, etc and they just wont change routine or slow up.
My guess is they dont see their addictions or selfish choices as sin.
These women leaving their sport is a good thing. A chance for God to show them how to use their abilities for better reasons.
Men are taking over women’s sports and so-called “feminists” are taking the side of the men in the argument as to whether or not this should be allowed.
Patriarchy rules! Long live Patriarchy!
Yes in the arena like Rome had.
