Female athletes are rising up to protect women's sports before radical ideology destroys it permanently.
But that common sense approach to the issue of trans inclusion in sports is not shared by the targets of her suit – the Connecticut Association of Schools and the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference – who believe an athlete should be able to compete according to their gender identity.
“I wanted to give voice to my story and help other girls out there so that they wouldn’t have to experience this,” Mitchell said. The problem of facing other athletes with a built-in biological advantage didn’t go away, in fact, it got worse. Mitchell’s fight for fairness for female athletes has been long and arduous. Her first legal move against the state came in her junior year when she challenged Connecticut’s policies with an anonymous Title IX complaint. However, eventually, Mitchell realized any serious effort with a chance of success needed her name behind it.
Smith, Soule, Nicoletti, and Mitchell’s lawsuit is set to be heard on June 6 before the U.S. Second Court of Appeals in New York City.
