Brief summary of the articleTwo transgender girls who challenged President Donald Trump's executive order on school sports have withdrawn their New Hampshire lawsuit. Their lawyer said the decision followed a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling upholding state bans on transgender athletes in girls' sports and the personal hardships faced by the plaintiffs.
Main Points of the Article"Two transgender girls who were the first to challenge President Donald Trump's executive order, "Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports," have withdrawn their lawsuit in New Hampshire based on a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that upheld state bans on transgender athletes in girls' sports and their own personal hardships, their lawyer said."
"Both sides agreed to pause the case and wait for a ruling from the Supreme Court as it considered similar state laws barring transgender girls and women from playing on school and college athletic teams in Idaho and West Virginia."
"Last month, the court upheld the laws. It also said that barring transgender girls and women doesn't run afoul of the federal law known as Title IX, which prohibits sex discrimination in education."
"Turmelle and her family moved out of New Hampshire last summer following proposed legislation against transgender people."
"Tirrell, 17, began her junior year last fall on the girls' junior varsity soccer team. Things were fine at first, and each time she scored a goal, she got a round of ice cream from her parents. But a few weeks into the season, she decided to stop playing."
