Maine’s state representative, Laurel Libby, filed a lawsuit against the president of the Ryan Fecteau Chamber after it was censored on February 15 for publication on social networks about an athlete of the Trans High School.
Demand seeks to restore voting rights and speak of Libby. The Secretary of the Chamber of Representatives of Maine, Robert Hunt, is appointed the other defendant in the lawsuit. Originally, Libby told him that he would restore the rights if he apologized for the position. However, she said she will not apologize.
Libby’s censorship occurred in response to a publication on social networks in which he pointed to a Trans athlete from the high school that won a female pole jumping competition. The post lit a national controversy and a dispute between the Democratic governor of Maine Janet Mills and President Donald Trump, which led federal agencies to launch investigations of Title IX against the state and school district where the athlete was registered.
A massive protest against Mills continued in the capital of Maine, Augusta.

The basis of the censorship of the Democrats of Fecteau and Maine was the position of Libby that identified a minor with a photograph and by its name. However, Libby and its lawyers argue that the athlete had already been publicized positively and was competing in the public forum of an athletic event sponsored by the State.
“The championship was a public event, it was broadcast online, and the names, schools and photographs of the winners were published publicly,” says a copy of the demand obtained by Pak Gazette Digital.
Libby represents more than 9,000 components in the 90th district of the Maine House of Representatives, and six of them have signed in demand as plaintiffs because censorship has prevented its ability to help carry out other legislative actions to meet these components.
“The actions of the speaker not only deprived me of their rights, but they deprived the thousands of constituents that I represent, and that is the broader image here; the fact that the speaker, in his eyes, took reprisals against me because he does not like what I have to say,” Libby said.
Libby recently proposed a bill to expand access to mental health resources for Maine residents, who now cannot help advance. In the coming weeks, the House of Representatives will vote on the next Biannual Budget, and Libby will not vote on that either.

For Libby, the demand is not only destined to restore their rights towards her and her voters. It also says that it is an important step to take the national battle to combat trans inclusion in women’s sports.
“Maine, for any reason, has become the zero zone for this debate and, of course, I want to recover my voice to be able to talk to that; and by addressing this problem within the legislature, I hope that everything that has been developed in the coming weeks can help change the course in the debate, so that not only Maine’s girls, but the girls throughout the country, have a fair and level playing field,” Libby said.
Libby also encouraged Fecteau to simply restore his rights to avoid taking the case to court and costing Maine’s taxpayers the price of any possible litigation.
Pak Gazette Digital has communicated with Fecteau’s office to comment.
Meanwhile, Maine is under investigation by the United States Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for possible violations of Title IX for its refusal to comply with Trump’s recent executive order to prevent Trans athletes from competing in girls and women’s sports.
HHS delivered a violation notice to MAINE STATE On February 25 and declared that the State violated title IX by allowing Trans athletes to compete in girls’ sports. Later, HHS expanded the scope of the investigation to include the Association of Directors of Maine and Grelyly High School.
The Trans athlete Libby revelation caused the coverage of the national media of the State policy on trans inclusion after Maine announced that it would not comply with Trump’s executive order. Trump then promised to cut funds to the State for refusing to follow his order.
Mills’s office responded with a statement that threatened the legal action against the Trump administration if it retained federal state funds. Then Trump and Mills headed verbally on a widely publicized argument in the White House during a bipartisan meeting of governors.
Only a few hours after that interaction, the United States Department of Education announced that investigate the State to allow Trans athletes to compete in girls’ sports and for the possible violations of title IX.

The controversy even prompted a protest against Mills called “march against Mills”, which took place outside the house of the state of Maine on Saturday morning. Several female athletes took the microphone in the march to speak against their Democratic governor.
A day later, eight Pro-Trans activists protested outside the Libby house in opposition to their views. They had posters that said “shame laurel 4 exploiting a child 4 their political gain” and “protect trans young people”, according to THE MAINE CABLE.
