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.

“I hate to say it, but you are right. I am old enough to remember women DEMANDING the right to play on men’s teams”
Yep, if we try to help them protect their sports, we’ll be accused of trying to again start up “Negro League” type sports where women would be ghettoized, out of mind and out of sight, as the black baseball players were (although they likely could have whipped the butts off of the white MLB back then, but that’s another story).
So we cannot win, and the babes must STEP UP, or everything they fought for, will be gone - and REALLY SOON.
Who wants to bet these same women will now vote democrat their entire lives so it is 10 times worse for their daughters?
The alphabet soup crowd is destroying everything that the women’s rights movement worked for in the 70’s and 80’s. Title IX is dead, just a corpse infested with trans maggots. NOW has nothing to say about this. The female leaders of the left are proving that when you elect someone, you end up with a politician. Go woke, I’m surprised that TLM t shirts aren’t selling so that the girls with nads can have the biggest sorority house on campus. Just another day in the future. What is the correct thing to yell when the trans goes over the side of the carrier? Well, since you don’t know, don’t say anything because if you don’t use the correct pronoun your navy career is over.
Nope. Just make them play with the boys. They will quickly fade.
I’ve said this since it started...There will be 2 teams....Men’s team and men who think their women team.......
Trannies need their own rope.
“Now if only America can put 2 and 2 together and realize this also applies to the military.”
or firefighters or a host of other jobs.

"A league of LGBTheir own." That'd make an interesting movie.
There's no crying in Trannie Baseball!
The Rainbow Mafia are killing women’s sports. They should compete against men. This is insane.
That’s right!
Exactly!
So much for feminism. That just went right out the window so fast it would make a trannies junk untuck.
I have been saying for a long time that women need to begin kneeling at these events.
If every female had stepped off the platform and knelt behind it at the first swim meet where that man decided to swim in the female contest, this would have been over. Take a stand -- take a knee. You aren't going to win against this male, you know that, so, refuse to participate in an unfair competition. Just do it!
In more important matters however, women need real men to defend them and fight for them. Women's sports just aren't important enough.
I agree. It's not my place to say anything. They can (or cannot) advocate for themselves.
The CT high school trans runners I read about were both black. Looked like ordinary black boys with long braids.
Vote for Biden? Too bad!!!!!
