A group of Minnesota high school softball players is suing Attorney General Keith Ellison and the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL), alleging that the state’s transgender athlete policy violates federal law and harms female athletes.
Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), a national legal organization, filed the federal lawsuit Monday on behalf of Female Athletes United (FAU), a group of Minnesota girls who say they have been forced to compete against a biologically male athlete in high school softball.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota, claims the state’s current policy allowing males to compete in girls’ sports is discriminatory and violates Title IX, the federal law requiring equal opportunities for women in education, including athletics.
“Minnesota is failing its female athletes. The state is putting the rights of males ahead of females, telling girls their hard work may never be enough to win and that they don’t deserve fairness and safety,” said ADF Legal Counsel Suzanne Beecher in a statement. “By sacrificing protection for female athletes, Minnesota fails to offer girls equal treatment and opportunity, violating Title IX’s provisions.”
The lawsuit also names Department of Human Rights Commissioner Rebecca Lucero, Education Commissioner Willie Jett, and the Anoka-Hennepin, Farmington, and Osseo school boards as defendants.

Bankrupt them ALL!
Minnesota needs to fix their sports so girls play against bio girls only.
How did this cr** start in the first place....and WHY...does any piece of government think it is right.
Prayers for young women’s sports scholarships.
They sue because galguys are on their teams.
They also sue to demand to be on a guys team.
They sue for everything.
Its not about equality its about control over everything.
The female sex is the biggest supporter of the alphabet people and their inclusion and acceptance in society. Except when there are downsides they have to experience to accomodte them.
Harris voters.
They should include Goober Walz as a defendant
It is way past time for this SH*T to stop and it never should’ve started...
XX versus XX and XY versus XY...That’s the ONLY way sports should be played....
it started when the women cried because caitlyn jenner was so brave ...
Crazy isn’t it? Women filed lawsuits, protested, and raised hell until they got their own sports teams and funding. Now many women are cheering on the destruction of women sports as men are allowed to take over their leagues and win all the trophies and scholarships. Liberal women that support this are truly mentally ill. Judges that go along with it should be removed from the bench.
From the article:
“Although the lawsuit does not name the athlete in question, Alpha News previously reported on Marissa Rothenberger, a junior pitcher at Champlin Park High School who recently struck out seven batters and allowed just one hit over seven innings against Maple Grove earlier this season—marking the Crimson’s first scoreless game of the year.
According to court documents in a Reduxx report, Rothenberger’s legal name and sex were changed in 2017, when a Hennepin County judge approved a petition to amend the birth certificate from “Charlie Dean” to “Marissa” and designate the change of sex to female.”
Minnesota needs to fix their sports so girls play against bio girls only.
A lot needs to be fixed in Minnesota.

“‘A nightmare’: Female inmate describes ‘traumatic’ experience of being housed with biological males”
The culprit was rich former D1 wrestler who's son was on team that shut down their program after title IX mandated matching funds for women.
He started the money flow looking for any way to get back.
They are going to get some girl killed simply to virtue signal. The sports media is deathly silent about this.
Any team playing a team that has a fake female should simply forfeit. If enough did the point would certainly be made.
“”Any team playing a team that has a fake female should simply forfeit. If enough did the point would certainly be made.””
Disagree. Apply that same analogy to US elections. It would be like saying... if the Democrats are going to cheat, we Republicans are just not going to participate and not vote in elections. End result, they win and their bad behavior is thereby rewarded. Hell to the no on that.
The problem is... there’s not enough people speaking out against the left’s insanity and stupidity. Too many are cowards and afraid of public ‘backlash’. Until that changes, the cretins will continue to reap the rewards.
Excellent!!!
FINALLY pushback against this evil.
Everyone is trying to out-woke each other and virtue signal our tolerant and compassionate, and accepting they are.
By those who want an anything goes lifestyle and to break down morals to accomplish that end.
Careful ladies, this particular AG may beatyo ass.
