Three Connecticut girls have filed a formal complaint over the state policy that lets biological males who claim to be females compete against girls, in the latest challenge against transgenderism.

Once relegated to the fringe and considered a mental disorder, policies across the nation have been implemented on the basis of allowing children to claim they’re the opposite gender. The effect in Connecticut, according to the complaint by the high school track athletes, has been discrimination, costing them higher slots on competitive events and possibly scholarships to college.
