“His amended complaint lacks any objective accusation that he was subject to intentional discrimination, apart from stating so much in the most conclusive way,” Judge Wendy Beetlestone wrote in his decision. “She points out that there are no cases of women assigned to birth that are treated differently than the men assigned to birth, and, as such, she has not been able to declare a claim for discrimination based on sex.”
The lawyer of the plaintiffs, Keith Altman, said they will appeal the decision.
“The client is disappointed, obviously, and still firmly believes in what happened,” said Altman, according to NBC Philadelphia. “We will continue looking for the problem. We believe it is an extremely important problem and should be solved.
“It is irrefutable that men, as a general proposition, are more physically capable than women. We believe that it is fundamentally unfair than someone who simply says: ‘Well, I identify myself as a woman’ can now compete with women and master women’s athletes. It simply makes no sense.”
