A lawsuit filed by three Minnesota softball players against the State for allowing a biological pitcher to compete saw its first audience in the court on Wednesday.
The American district judge Eric Tostrud heard oral arguments of lawyers representing the three players in a request for a preliminary court order that would prevent transgender athletes from competing in girls’ sports in the state.
One of the lawyers who represent the three girls told Pak Gazette Digital that they are arguing that the current Minnesota policies violate title IX.
“Fundamentally denies women the same athletic opportunities in sports that require competitive skills or contact sports, to allow men to enter those spaces to play against them,” said the senior lawyer of Alliance, Hal Frampton.

The plaintiffs hope that the lawsuit will be in a permanent change to the State Sports Statutes.
“We are looking for a decision that the Statutes of the Secondary School League of the State of Minnesota to prevent any man who affirms a female gender identity paying women’s sports, we are looking for a failure that these statutes violate the title IX,” said Frampton.
The lawsuit appoints three school districts, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, the Executive Director of the Secondary School League of the State of Minnesota, Erich Martens, commissioner of the Department of Education of Minnesota, Willie Jett and commissioner of the Department of Human Rights of Minnesota, Rebecca Lucero as defenders.

His ability to obtain outs and spin He is competing against someone who has unfair advantages without confidence, “the player is also a player.”
“This problem has affected me in a way that I never imagined. It is simply unfair and hate that nothing happens that changes that. The boys should not be able to make girls in teams just because they are able to do so. I hope that more girls affected by this problem face this.”
The anonymous player also called Ellison for aggressively defending trans inclusion in girls’ sports in the state. Ellison has filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump and the United States Department of Justice on the Executive Order to “keep men out of Trump’s women’s sports.”
“It’s really annoying to know what [Ellison] It is not serious to take girls and women. He is allowing boys to compete with girls, and is not safe and completely unfair. Knowing that AG Ellison supports complete so that children and men take advantage of women in sports is absolutely unpleasant and incorrect, “added the player.

The Minnesota State Legislature could not approve the “Preserve the sporting act of girls“In early March, he would have declared that” only students can participate in an athletic team or primary or secondary level sport that an educational institution has restricted women and girls. “
