Trans Athlete

As I wrote this morning about the growing opposition to trans athletes, one athlete took her case to court to allow her to play on a girls football team.
Transgender football player prevails in lawsuit against Minnesota team, league

A transgender woman has prevailed in her discrimination suit against a Minnesota women's football team and league.

In 2017, Christina Ginther sued the Minnesota Vixen and the Independent Women's Football League after the team barred her from playing because she was trans.

Ginther, 44, told MPR News that she didn't think being transgender would pose a problem for the Vixen. She learned about the team at the Twin Cities Pride Festival, and recalled her reaction as, "Oh, this an LGBTQ-friendly organization. Cool."

But after her tryouts, Ginther said, she got a surprising phone call from the team's owner, Laura Brown
Once again when they say LGBTQ they really mean LGBQ and the “T” is forgotten.

Many of those complaining have no idea of Tanner Stage 2, puberty, body development, or any other medical information on the differences between boys and girls; they only know what is on the birth certificates (I bet you that they don’t even know that birth certificates can be changed in Connecticut).

So be prepared for a fight in the legislature and I bet we will see the so called “family” organizations stepping into this attack on us.
