Yes, The Democrats really are that stupid, The TG Hill they did on.
They insist that biological boys should be able to declare they
are girls, and use girl shower rooms and dominate 'girl sports'.
The Democrats are selling out their girls for the crazy niche.

Minnesota ‘failing its female athletes’: Lawsuit challenges state policy forcing females to compete against males

A new lawsuit is challenging a Minnesota policy allowing biological
males to compete in female sports, arguing it violates Title IX and disadvantages female athletes.

Female Athletes United, a group dedicated to promoting fairness and
protecting the integrity of women’s sports, alleges in a legal complaint several of its members have been forced to compete against males in high
school softball – and have lost to them or been physically hurt as a result.

Alliance Defending Freedom filed the lawsuit on behalf of the group,
noting because of the state’s “discriminatory policy” males are “displacing and defeating females in their own sports.”

“Minnesota is failing its female athletes,” Alliance Defending Freedom legal counsel Suzanne Beecher said. “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.”

She added that by “sacrificing protection for female athletes,” the
state is failing to “offer girls equal treatment and opportunity,” in violation of Title IX. 

The state allows male students who merely claim a “female gender
identity” to participate in women’s and girls’ sports, the lawsuit
notes, with no physical requirements such as caps on testosterone levels
to “mitigate the inherent physiological advantages that male athletes have.”

“Minnesota’s policy expands opportunities for male athletes to compete
and experience victory at the expense of female athletes,” the complaint reads. “Minnesota’s female athletes suffer as a result – experiencing fewer opportunities to play, win, advance, and receive recognition in
their own sports.”

Female athletes forced to compete against biological males also “suffer
the mental burden of knowing that their rights are secondary,” it continues.

One 16-year-old female athlete described in the lawsuit, identified as “E.G.,” competed in varsity softball against a male athlete in the
regular season and sectionals, ultimately losing and missing out on a
chance to advance to the state tournament. 

Another 16-year-old Female Members United athlete was “hit by a pitch
thrown by the male athlete competing in girls’ softball,” the lawsuit alleges. The teenager had “never experienced pain like this when getting
hit by pitches on other occasions,” as the “speed and strength” of the male’s pitch “made the pain more intense” than she had previously felt.

The Lion has reached out for comment to the office of Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, named alongside other state officials as a
defendant in the lawsuit.

Ellison last month a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration
over its threats to cut federal funding over transgender athletes,
arguing that President Trump was “bullying vulnerable children” and
denying the “civil rights of transgender people.”

Both Trump and his administration have been outspoken in efforts to keep biological males out of female spaces and sports. In an executive order
earlier this year, Trump referred to men competing in women’s sports as “demeaning, unfair, and dangerous” and said it “denies women and girls the equal opportunity to participate and excel in competitive sports.”
