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.

I rarely use these letters but the court’s decision calls for a:
WTF?
Idaho is goin’ down.
Take it to SCOTUS.
So far I haven’t seen a lot of push back from women. A few here and there. But as a whole they seem cool with it. Until they wake up and find every sports participant a transgender and they have no spots, they will continue to pretend there isn’t a problem.
Figures. After Trump finished with them there is a majority of, if not fully conservative, at least not raving liberal judges. You can still get panel rulings that are off the wall but the full court has been reaonable.
Trump put a lot of Anthony Kennedy judges in. They may not be to the left as Kagan, but they are left of center.
I believe congress redefined the civil rights sex protections (m/f) to sexual “activity” (LGB) and some courts have already found that T is included because T is activity.
Also why they’re pushing P…
Now we know of how the French, et al, felt when the Nazis invaded. All Democrats are Nazis and many Republicans are collaborators. Only a few Republicans are patriots.
I agree. Ninth Circuit said it is the law.
So it's up to the women to protest the stupid law.
They don't care about sports. But they do care about abortion.
A dude pretending to be a girl is not constitutionally protected. Someone who suffers from the extremely rare gender dysphoria is protected.
.....go back to cheerleading?
Now you’re talking! BRILLIANT.
“TITLE NINE,” one of the worst pieces of crap legislation, ever passed.
Created a few million Lesbians to plague our dwindling birth rate.
That’s disgusting and true. What is wrong with them?
The gals should just quit the team, en masse. I don’t see any other way this goes reasonsable.
If they want to use the facilities for swimming, exercise, etc; they could show up at the meets and when the whistle blows, just step off the platform. Refuse to compete.
As long as we on a cultural conveyor belt that ultimately allows men to compete in girls sports without limitation, the gals are just going to have to refuse to participate.
Don’t know how the law read, but if it said they are banned, they left the Leftist 9th Circuit an out. It should have said that individuals will participate in sports based on the gender of their birth.
Boycotts are effective. Montgomery bus boycott is an example of that.
Right now, the brainwashing is deep. Women are afraid to go against the feminists in charge of the woke ideology.
One or two female athletes may walk out. But that's not going to do anything. They'll need a leader to organize. And she'll have to be a woman.
Nothing I can do because it's not my fight.
Redefine to three groups:
XX
XY
XX or XY
Problem solved
I wouldn't take the issue if I'm on the SCOTUS.
The full court [Ninth Circuit] has fallen to the the Left, with the addition of a number of new Biden stooges.

They tried to bring the Grant's Pass thing to en banc, and 15 Clinton/Obama/Biden stooges out of the 29 said "Nay".
Baseball and softball example
If you only have one gender sports team as in football, girls are allowed to participate (usually kicker)
If the law states birth certificates will be used to determine gender for participants in addition to DOB, SCOTUS may take it.
It wasn’t a real US Appeals Court, it was the 9th. Will probably be reversed at the Supreme Court.
