Trump Seeks Removal From NH Lawsuit Challenging Order on Transgender Athletes
- On June 10, 2025, the Trump administration requested to be dismissed as a party from a lawsuit in New Hampshire that challenges both the state’s ban and the president’s executive order regarding transgender athletes.
- The lawsuit began in February 2025 when two teenagers from New Hampshire—a 16-year-old boy and a 14-year-old girl—filed a challenge against the state’s prohibition of transgender girls participating in girls’ sports.
- A federal judge allowed the teens to try out and play on girls’ teams while the case proceeds, and government attorneys argue the executive orders have not been enforced in New Hampshire.
- Government attorneys filed a motion contending that the teens are attempting to involve the federal government in a lawsuit based on broad policy objections, while the teens’ lawyers argue that the challenged order and related directives discriminate against transgender girls in violation of Title IX and equal protection rights.
- The outcome remains pending, but the case highlights legal disputes over transgender athletes’ rights and interpretations of federal policies, as about half of states have similar bans.
