The Minnesota Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday that an athletic organization violated the state’s anti-discrimination law when it barred a transgender athlete from competing, culminating a six-year-long legal battle.
Minnesota Supreme Court’s Chief Justice Natalie E. Hudson affirmed that a sport organization’s policy barring trans women from competing is “facially discriminatory and constitutes direct evidence of discrimination based on sexual orientation under the [Minnesota Human Rights Act’s] prohibition against discrimination in business and places of public accommodation.”
The decision reversed a court of appeals ruling that had sowed doubt on whether the organization, USA Powerlifting, had made the decision to bar an athlete from competing based on her transgender identity. However, the court sent a portion of the case back to trial to revisit a “genuine dispute of material fact” as to whether USAPL’s push to “ensure competitive fairness in an athletic competition satisfies the legitimate business purpose defense.”
In 2018, JayCee Cooper, then 30 years old, joined USA Powerlifting, a leading powerlifting competition organization, with the hopes of competing in Minnesota state’s bench press and women’s championships the following year.
USAPL stated that it adheres to the World Anti-Doping Agency standards which prohibits certain prescription medications. Cooper, who takes spironolactone to suppress testosterone production in her body, applied for an exemption to this rule. She provided a letter from her doctor and therapist to demonstrate that this medication was essential treatment for her gender dysphoria.

The same Minnesota Supreme Court that the leftists cheated on an election with to get their leftist justice seated and make a leftist majority?
This abomination brought to you by Liberals Of America. Defiling humanity ever since Cain killed Abel.
Any male that competes in a female league is a dirty cheater.
Any team that fields a male in a female league is cheating.
What’s the worst about Minnesota is that when the Minnersoda Lefties retire, they go and infest other states because it’s such a frigid Commie poophole.
I know TWO Commie couples from there that left [sorry about the pun] the minute they could.
DEI.
Well the women in Minn have only one option now. If they have to compete with one of these creeps boycott. It is all they can do now.
I can’t believe how many worthless former Pancakes and Gravy Shack waitresses have been picked up as scumbag Black Supremacy “judgeez.
It’s her single digit I.Q. and her DEI job coupon.
Handed the job by three idiot governors.
Judicial service
Governor Jesse Ventura appointed Hudson to an at-large seat on the Minnesota Court of Appeals in 2002.[2]
On August 18, 2015, Governor Mark Dayton nominated her to the Supreme Court to replace Alan Page effective September 1; Page had reached the court’s mandatory retirement age of 70 earlier in August. She is the second African American woman named to the Court, after Wilhelmina Wright.[2][5]
On August 23, 2023, Governor Tim Walz announced he would elevate Hudson to Chief Justice, per the announced resignation of Chief Justice Lorie Skjerven Gildea effective October 1 of that year. Hudson is the first woman of color and the first African-American to serve as Chief Justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court.[6]
She looks like she belongs to the same tribe as the Lost Angeles “mayor.”
Hell, we got one of those in the US SUPREME COURT!
Because we all know that 19th century settlers in Minnesota were from Uganda.
Will the US Supremes have anything to say about this?
I was wondering if the Minnesota supreme court asked permission from the Minnesomalians.
