"The lawsuit was brought by several school districts but was led by District 49. That district's board passed a controversial trans sports ban back in May by a narrow margin. The lawsuit against the state was filed the day after the policy was voted in, calling for Colorado to allow the ban to be enacted and to align policies with the demands laid out in the president's "two sexes" executive order."
"Colorado has state laws prohibiting discrimination against trans people, specifically people's gender identity or gender expression. While the lawsuit cites the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment in arguing that trans girls playing on the girls' team affects the rights of cis girls, it does not mention the impact on the rights of trans girls."
CHSAA settled its portion of a lawsuit from right-wing districts seeking to let schools bar trans students from sports teams aligned with their gender. CHSAA agreed not to sanction the named districts for enacting such bans and not to respond to claims about "advantages of biological males over biological females in competitive sports." District 49 led the suit after its board narrowly passed a trans sports ban and filed against the state seeking alignment with a "two sexes" executive order. Colorado law prohibits discrimination on gender identity or expression. The suit cites the Equal Protection Clause to argue trans girls affect cis girls' rights but does not address trans girls' rights. The case continues against remaining defendants.
