Maine’s Senate voted against the LD 1134 bill, which would have kept trans athletes biologically out of girls’ sports, Thursday.
The rejection occurs in the midst of continuous resistance by the State Democratic leadership against the Executive Order of “Maintenance of men outside women’s sports” by President Donald Trump, which dates back to February.
The United States Department of Justice has launched a lawsuit against the State for refusing to sign an agreement to keep girls’ sports only for women. A federal judge established on Tuesday a trial date of April 1, 2026, for that lawsuit.

The outstanding republican legislator of Maine Laurel Libby, who has become a central figure in the battle of the State on the subject, criticized the Democratic majority for not passing the bill in a position on X Friday.
“It is clear that the biological reality and the will of Maine’s people are not related to the decisions taken in the Maine Legislature, as the Democratic majority voted to allow biological men to continue dominating in girls’ sports and invade the spaces of girls,” Libby wrote.
Athletes and female rights activists had been pressing so that the State approved invoices that prohibit trans athletes from girls sports for months.
In early May, multiple women’s athletes marched in August to testify to the state legislature in support of three bills on the subject, including LD114 and similar bills LD 868 and LD 233.

“[Democrats] He definitely asked the people with whom he did not agree than the people with whom they agreed, and it could be said that they did not feel so compassionate, “said the athlete of the student’s student running track Lucy Cheney to Pak Gazette Digital.” They were excited just when they got excited when they were excited when they got excited when they got excited when they got excited when they got excited when they got excited when they got excited when they got excited when they were excited when they got excited when they got excited when they got excited when they got excited when they got excited when they were excited when they were excited when they got excited when they got excited when they got excited when they got excited when they got excited when they got excited when they were excited when they were excited when when they were excited when they were excited when they were excited when they were excited when they were excited when they were excited when they were excited when they were excited when they moved when they moved when they moved when they were excited when they were excited when they were excited when they were excited when when when when [pro-trans speakers] They shared, and it seemed that they really took care of them, and they wanted to support them, and they didn’t feel as much as they wanted to hear our side. ”
Cheney’s teammate, Carlyn Buck, said that when the Democrats came with questions, they seemed “hostile.”
“They seemed more hostile towards our testimonies when they asked questions,” Buck said. “He felt that many questions were bothering.”
The DOJ has accused the State of “the Federal Law against Federal Discrimination by enforcing policies that require girls to compete against boys in athletic competitions designated exclusively for girls”, according to a complaint obtained by Pak Gazette Digital.
Governor Janet Mills, the Department of Education of Maine and the Association of Directors of Maine have firmly remained in support of continuing to allow trans inclusion in girls’ sports throughout the State, citing Maine’s Human Rights Law as the precedent to determine gender eligibility.
Meanwhile, two school districts of Maine have already taken the matter in their own hands, since Msad No. 70 and RSU No. 24 have moved to amend their own policies to keep trans athletes out of girls’ sports.
TO survey The coalition of American parents discovered that about 600 registered voters of Maine, 63% said that school sports participation should be based on biological sex, and 66% agreed that it is “just restricting women’s sports to biological women.”
The survey also found that 60% of residents would admit a voting measure that limits participation in Women and girls sports for biological females. This included 64% of independents and 66% of parents with children under 18.
But until now, the governor has remained firm to oppose Trump on the subject, even at the expense of the legal fees funded by taxpayers.
“I am happy to go to court and litigate the problems that are being raised in this judicial complaint,” Mills told reporters in April.
