Colorado School District Challenges State Policy on Transgender Athletes in Girls’ Sports

  • On May 9, Colorado School District 49, serving northeast Colorado Springs, filed a federal lawsuit against CHSAA, the Civil Rights Division, and AG Phil Weiser.
  • The suit challenges state laws and CHSAA bylaws that require allowing transgender athletes to compete based on gender identity, which conflicts with federal Title IX and Equal Protection obligations.
  • District 49 approved a policy banning transgender athletes from girls' sports to preserve female athletic opportunities, citing natural male athletic advantages and seeking a court declaration that state rules are unconstitutional.
  • The lawsuit states compliance with state mandates risks constitutional rights violations and federal funding loss, while CHSAA noted conflicting federal and state laws and deferred decisions until legal alignment.
  • District 49 aims to protect girls’ sports fairness through legal action, signaling ongoing tensions between state anti-discrimination policies and federal law on transgender athlete participation.
