A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit Sunday brought by a group of female athletes over Connecticut’s policy allowing male-to-female transgender students to compete in girls’ sports.
Chelsea Mitchell, Alanna Smith, and Selina Soule filed suit against the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference (CIAC) in February 2020 for allowing two biological males, transgender students Andraya Yearwood and Terry Miller, to compete against girls in track and field. Ashley Nicoletti, another female high school athlete, later joined the suit. The plaintiffs argued that the transgender students had unfair physical advantages over their female competitors and should not be allowed to participate in high school girls’ sports.
