A federal appeals court on Friday dismissed a case challenging a Connecticut policy that allows transgender students born male to compete against girls in high school athletic competitions.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit in New York upheld a lower court’s decision to reject a lawsuit filed on behalf of four female athletes. The athletes argued they were unfairly deprived of honors and opportunities to compete at higher levels statewide because of a policy that allowed males who identify as female to compete against girls.
