CNN NewsBy Dakin AndoneSeptember 14, 2025Three female student athletes sued their Southern California school district and state Department of Education, claiming they suffered sex discrimination under Title IX and civil rights violations when the defendants allowed a transgender athlete to compete on their high school track and volleyball teams.The federal lawsuit, filed Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, comes as the inclusion of trans women and girls in sports has emerged as a central focus in a broader, national targeting of the transgender community by Republican leaders and the Trump administration.
There is a court case here in Connecticut that is winding the way through the courts again but basically the courts ruled that there was "no injury" the students who sued... went on to college and got sport scholarships. The court basically said "Where's the beef?"
The plaintiffs claim the trans athlete made competition unfair, resulting in lower track and field rankings for those competing against her. The suit also says at least six schools forfeited volleyball matches rather than compete against the team that some of the plaintiffs, along with Hernandez, play on. They also claim an invasion of privacy due to sharing a locker room with the student and allege school officials ignored or dismissed their complaints.
Lets take this apart... "competition unfair, resulting in lower track and field rankings for those competing against her." In Connecticut the courts ruled that, that is nature of sports, that there are people who are fast them the plaintiffs both trans and cis.
As for the locker room, the Supreme Court just had something to say about that, SCOTUS Blog wrote in "Supreme Court leaves order in place allowing transgender student to use boys’ bathroom" so it looks like the court has no problem with trans students in bathrooms and the locker room.
