federal appeals court has reinstated a challenge to Connecticut's policy of allowing transgender girls to compete in girls high school sports.
HARTFORD, Conn. — A federal appeals court has reinstated a challenge to Connecticut's policy of allowing transgender girls to compete in girls high school sports, two months after a three-judge panel upheld the rules.
The court has become more conservative in recent years, with five of its 13 judges — excluding several senior judges — having been appointed by former President Donald Trump. Transgender athletes' ability to compete in sports is the subject of a continuing national debate. Eighteen states have passed laws banning transgender women or girls in sports based on the premise it gives them an unfair competitive advantage.
In December, a three-judge panel said the four cisgender athletes lacked standing to sue — in part because their claims that they were deprived of wins, state titles and athletic scholarship opportunities were speculative.
