Transgender girls who challenged Trump sports order drop lawsuit after Supreme Court ruling
The girls withdrew after harassment at games and school, and their lawyer said the legal fight could return despite a recent Supreme Court ruling.
- On Thursday, two transgender student-athletes, Parker Tirrell and Iris Turmelle, withdrew their lawsuit against New Hampshire's ban on transgender girls in school sports, citing a recent Supreme Court ruling and personal hardships.
- The teenagers originally challenged New Hampshire's 2024 law barring transgender girls from girls' teams and contested President Donald Trump's executive order, "Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports."
- Tirrell faced harassment at Plymouth Regional High School that made soccer "no longer fun," while Turmelle moved out of state last summer following proposed transgender legislation.
- Attorney Chris Erchull of GLAD Law said dropping the case was difficult but necessary, noting the students' public storytelling helped "move the needle" in New Hampshire.
- While the Supreme Court recently upheld state bans under Title IX, Erchull said the legal fight might not be over and he is weighing strategic options for other families.
