Alliance Defending Freedom to argue Connecticut policy harms girls' sports, is 'clear violation of Title IX'
Alliance Defending Freedom says the policy denied female athletes medals and/or advancement opportunities

Oral arguments are set to begin Thursday in a case involving four female athletes who challenged a Connecticut policy that allows males who identify as female to compete in girls’ athletic events.
Alliance Defending Freedom, which is representing track athletes Selina Soule, Alanna Smith, Chelsea Mitchell, and Ashley Nicoletti in Soule v. Connecticut Association of Schools, said in a press release ahead of arguments that the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference’s policy resulted in males who identify as female "consistently depriving" the women of honors and opportunities to compete at elite levels. The group argues, for instance, that the young women were denied medals and/or advancement opportunities. A federal judge dismissed the lawsuit on April 25, 2021, but the plaintiffs have appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit.
"What we're arguing before the court tomorrow at the Second Circuit is that the court should allow this case to move forward, that girls should be able to make their case in court and demonstrate that males coming in and dominating girls' sports is a clear violation of Title IX," ADF Senior Counsel Christiana Kiefer told Fox News Digital.
The ACLU is among those defending Andraya Yearwood and Terry Miller, two transgender student athletes who have since graduated from Connecticut high schools. U.S. District Court Judge Robert Chatigny dismissed the lawsuit in April on procedural grounds, saying in the ruling that there was no dispute to resolve because the two transgender athletes have graduated, and the plaintiffs could not identify other female transgender athletes.
ACLU of Connecticut didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
"We think everyone is protected under Title IX on the same basis, and that's based on their biological sex," Kiefer continued. "The whole reason that we have women's sports as a separate category is because there are actual physical differences between males and females. Science shows that there's anywhere from a 10 to a 50% performance advantage that males have over their female counterparts. So, if we want a future where girls like my clients, Selina, Chelsea, Alanna can continue to compete to be the best that they can to earn college scholarships, to showcase their talents, then we have to protect the integrity of women's sports."
"Males will always have inherent physical advantages over comparably talented and trained girls; Title IX’s whole purpose was to ensure that girls had equal athletic opportunities to compete—and win—in girls’ sports events," ADF Senior Counsel Roger Brooks, who will be arguing before the court on behalf of the female athletes in Thursday's oral arguments said in a press release. "And when our laws and policies fail to recognize the real physical differences between males and females, women and girls bear the brunt of the harm. It’s our hope that the 2nd Circuit will give the young women we represent the right to pursue their case and put women’s sports back on a level playing field."
The Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference declined to comment ahead of the hearing when Fox News Digital reached out.
On the 50th anniversary of Title IX, a federal civil rights law established in 1972 designed to create equal opportunities for women in education and athletics, in July, President Biden unveiled new draft rules that sparked the fury of many parents for how the new proposals would expand the definition of sex.
The proposed regulations would sweep gender identity into the law’s protections, "strengthen[ing] protections for LGBTQIA+ students who face discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity," according to the Department of Education.
Should the draft rules become law, Kiefer predicted it would have a "devastating impact" on female athletes.
Other female athletes have spoken out against policies they've argued are unfair to women's sports. Notably, former All-American University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines has blasted policies allowing Lia Thomas, a former transgender athlete for the University of Pennsylvania, to compete against her in last year's NCAA tournaments.
Gaines competed against Thomas in her senior year at the 200-meter race at the NCAA Championships. After tying with Thomas down to the hundredth of a second, Gaines said Thomas was given the trophy for "photo purposes" while Gaines had to wait for hers to be sent to her in the mail. She suggested the integrity of women's sports was at stake.
"I think people forget that women's sports were a protected group," Gaines said on Fox Nation's "Tucker Carlson Today." "The category was made because the playing field was not level by any means when you have them competing against men," Gaines said. "And so obviously it was created to ensure that fairness. And now that we are kind of completely flipping that, it devalues what it was created for."

The entire situation with biological males competing in female sports has reached the point of absurdity. First it is undermining the gains that female athletes have made over the decades when anyone can declare themselves a female and compete against the ladies. Second it is dangerous to females. It is time to put a stop to this nonsense.
North Carolina school district votes to forfeit games against rival after transgender athlete injures player
Player reportedly suffered head and neck injuries from vicious spike

The Cherokee County Board of Education in North Carolina voted last month to forfeit girls volleyball games against a rival school after a transgender athlete reportedly injured a player with a spike.
The board voted 5-1 Sept. 21 for Hiwassee Dam High School to forfeit all girls volleyball matches against Highlands School after a Hiwassee Dam player reportedly suffered head and neck injuries from a spike from the Highlands transgender athlete.
"The county will not participate in any volleyball games, varsity or junior varsity, against Highlands due to safety concerns," the board said.
David Payne, Hiwassee Dam's athletic director, supported the decision, and Vice Chair Jeff Martin felt that "there is a competitive advantage and a safety concern for certain teams — it’s not the same for all teams."
Payne believed "a statement needed to be made and that it's unfair and unsafe" while also saying there were "mixed feelings" from players and parents about facing Highlands in the future.
Board member Joe Wood said the decision was made based on safety, not gender.
The board member who voted against the move, Keesha Curtis, "believes all school principals and ADs should make that decision."
The Hiwassee Dam player is still suffering from long-term concussion symptoms and has not been cleared to play, according to Education First Alliance.
Transgender athletes competing in women's sports has become a controversial topic, especially after Lia Thomas, a biological man, won an NCAA championship in women's swimming earlier this year.
Several states have passed laws requiring athletes to participate in sports based on their biological sex

no female player has ever been injured by getting spiked on in a game of volleyball ever. In fact, the sport is injury proof.
So if they transition to one gender and then back to the original gender -- then which bathroom should they use --- and should they be joining the men's or women's sports team. Just wondering.
