The measure barred trans women and girls of all ages from participating in female sports teams at public schools in the state, from primary school through college.
A federal appeals court on Thursday refused to allow Idaho to enforce a first-in-the-nation ban on transgender women and girls from participating in female sports leagues, saying the measure likely was unconstitutional. A 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel delivered a victory to LGBTQ rights advocates by upholding an injunction blocking Idaho’s Fairness in Women’s Sports Act, the first of many such laws to be enacted by Republican-led states.
“This is an important victory for common sense, equality, and the rights of transgender youth under the law,” said Chase Strangio, a lawyer with the American Civil Liberties Union, which pursued the court challenge. The Idaho measure, which Republican Gov. Brad Little signed into law in March 2020, bars transgender women and girls of all ages from participating in female sports teams at public schools in the state, from primary school through college.

“...9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals...”
Figures.
If I were the governor of Idaho, I would tell the judge where he could stick his decision.
Call for en banc.
Where’s the equality when males can compete with females in sports?
Enforce it anyway.
What part of the Constitution says that?
Sounds like all of Title 9 is unConstitutional.
“...victory for common sense, equality, ...”
Only in Bizarro World.
Why doesn’t the ACLU fight for 2nd Amendment issues as a civil liberty?
Well, i guess that leaves putting mentally ill men institutions instead of allowing them into schools.
Up to the Supremes.
I hate to say this but there is a way to stop this idiocy and the women are the ones who will suffer. But they are already the ones suffering. So they need to highlight it.
When a man shows up to compete if all the women refuse to compete then eventually, this will end. When a guy wins by default rather than because he used his superior size advantage it will highlight the problem to the point where even a federal judge will say, okay, enough. Or it will end up as just “trans” girls competing; again, this will make the news and eventually, the idiocy will stop.
A different approach would be if the entire men’s team decided they would be women just this one game and they pounded the heck out of the “trans” girl, that would probably end the idiocy as well.
What will not happen is a judge saying, “you know this is stupid.” That’s because they either believe in the insanity or, they are afraid of having fifty “trans” supporters showing up at their home to protest.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Idaho David C. Nye, Chief District Judge, Presiding Argued and Submitted November 22, 2022 San Francisco, California Filed August 17, 2023 Before: Kim McLane Wardlaw, Ronald M. Gould, and Morgan Christen, Circuit Judges.* Opinion by Judge Wardlaw; Partial Concurrence and Partial Dissent by Judge Christen
David Nye is an Obama/Trump judge, confirmed 100 to 0.
Kim McLane Wardlaw and Ronald M. Gould are Rapin Bill Clinton stooges, and Morgan Christen is an Obama stooge.
So, the case was decided by Clinton stooges and Obama stooges.
Just have one team.
The girls could go back to cheerleading.
“The Georgia High School Association voted unanimously Wednesday to effectively ban transgender students from playing on high school teams that reflect their gender identities” ... Makes sense to ban more muscular males from playing with females. Imagine to lawsuits schools would face from parents of injured girls otherwise...
“a victory to LGBTQ rights? is a very temporal victory. Just ask Bud Light how their ad with Dylan is working out.
Judicial Rule
This is the path to the USSC
Celebrate.
