Advocacy group America First Legal (AFL) submitted a brief to an appeals court in support of Arizona’s law protecting women and girls’ sports from the inclusion of biological males.

Arizona’s Save Women’s Sports Act, passed in March 2022, bans biological males from playing in women and girls’ sports teams at public schools. In April 2023, two minor biological males and their families filed a lawsuit challenging the act, stating that as they used puberty blockers and have not undergone the usual male development, they wouldn’t have any male athletic advantage.
