US EditionCalifornia girls' high school volleyball players file lawsuit over transgender teammate
The lawsuit alleges sex discrimination, religious liberty violations, and unsafe environments due to a transgender athlete's participation, prompting withdrawals and forfeited matches this season, plaintiffs say.
- On Tuesday, three female students from Jurupa Valley High School initiated a federal civil rights suit against the Jurupa Unified School District, contesting its policy that permits transgender boys to participate in girls' athletic teams and use girls' locker rooms.
- The lawsuit alleges that the district disregarded multiple complaints about inappropriate behavior and hazardous circumstances linked to the transgender athlete, and it seeks a court order to block enforcement of policies derived from Assembly Bill 1266.
- Plaintiffs Hadeel Hazameh, Alyssa McPherson, and Madison McPherson claim the district's policy violates Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause, and that the athlete's biological male physiology provides an unfair competitive advantage.
- Attorney Julianne Fleischer explained that the case aims to clearly establish that girls' sports should be reserved for female athletes, highlighting that no regulations can change the inherent biological distinctions between males and females.
- This lawsuit reflects ongoing national debate over transgender athletes in female sports and may influence future policy decisions on gender identity and competition fairness in schools.
