Oregon is facing its second lawsuit in a month over the issue of biologically male trans athletes competing in girls' high school sports.
Two of the state's girls' track and field stars, Alexa Anderson and Reese Eckard, filed a lawsuit against the Oregon School Athletics Association (OSAA) after an incident on May 31 when they refused to stand on a medal podium with a transgender competitor at a state title meet.
Footage of the stunt went viral, as Anderson later told Fox News that officials instructed them to step away from the podium and get out of the shots of photos.
Their lawsuit alleges that the OSAA not only excluded them from official photos, but also withheld their medals. The suit argues that the girls' First Amendment rights were infringed upon by the officials.
"I recently competed against a biological male at my state track and field meet, another girl and I decided to step down from the podium in protest to the unfair competition environment," Anderson told Fox News Digital. "I am fighting to keep women’s sports XX and prevent biological males in women’s sports from becoming normalized. By doing this, I hope that all future generations of female athletes will have a safe and fair opportunity to excel within their sports."
Fox News Digital reached out to the OSAA for a response.
The girls are being represented by the America First Policy Institute (AFPI).
"These young women earned their place on the podium – and the right to express themselves," said Jessica Hart Steinmann, executive general counsel at AFPI. "Instead of respecting their viewpoint that girls’ sports should be for girls only, Oregon officials sidelined them. The First Amendment protects the right to dissent –school officials don’t get to reprimand students who refuse to agree with their beliefs."

Good for these fine young ladies. I hope they win big.
Quite simply: The Democrat Party defines:
- your entitlements
- your gender
- your race
- your rights
- your sex
- and how much you are contributing to global warming
[[Footage of the stunt went viral,]]
It was no ‘stunt’ fox news! It was a line in the sand!
> Footage of the stunt went viral… <
I suppose it’s a side point. But this wasn’t a “stunt”. It was a principled stand by two brave girls.
A Fox News writer should know better.
My brother said that we need to deal with my transgenders like we do Alzeihemer patients. Just go along with their delusions so as not to upset them. (His MIL would get upset when told her husband died, so they would just tell him he went to the store and will be back soon).
“So - you’re saying body dysphoria IS a mental issue?”
Bttt
They should have refused to compete at all.....THAT is the only way to put a stop to this bs
I would bet that neither girl is from the seventh circle of Hell, viz., Portland, Salem or Eugene.
Oregon aka Oregone
Seems the OSAA is run by homos and lesbians.
Laws should be passed that if a biological boy/man wants to be called and compete as a girl/woman the first requirement should be removing male sex organ ... anesthesia not required.
And feminists. How very ironic that feminism was supposedly set in place to elevate the rights and needs of women. But as we see, it has completely accomplished the opposite.
These strong Christian ladies go to my church, Athey Creek fellowship.

That’s why I call them DemoN-rats!
