Carlisle, now a high school student, has become a voice for change in his state. He met with the United States Attorney General Pam Bondi last month and shared his story about having to compete against transgender athletes in sports. He also spoke in front of the Capitol of the State of Maine earlier this month while hundreds protested against gender inclusion policies.
He appeared in “Fox & Friends” on Monday and explained more thoroughly what was his message for Mills.
“My message to the governor was to think of all women in their state,” he said. “If she can look genuinely and say that I will not fight for you, then you know, that is really heartbreaking because we had to fight a lot for her to have the position she has and many women fought hard for her. So, so she would look at us all and say that I will not fight for you is a heartbreaking.”
Carlisle added that he knew that something was wrong when he was first exposed to the transgender policies of the State. However, he said he didn’t know how to talk.

“I think it’s one of those things, when it happens, you don’t know what to do, but you definitely know that something is wrong,” he said. I was 13 years old that I know something was wrong, but I didn’t know what to do.
“I didn’t have the platform to speak, and I think that makes it really difficult because you feel you have no voice, but that is not true. And I hope that when talking that many younger people know that it is fine to speak.”
Carlisle wrote in an opinion article in Pak Gazette Digital that described how he was worried about the future of women’s sports if policies continued.
“I really fear for the future of female sports if states like mine continue in this direction. Girls of all ages are seeing women erased from sports: they can no longer have confidence that their effort and dedication will be honored with a fair opportunity against their physical peers,” he wrote.
“We have to win this battle for them. This is a competition that we cannot lose.”

The Trump administration has given Maine until Thursday to fulfill their executive order to prevent biological men from being women’s sports or risking federal funds to their public schools.
