\"The panel held that the district court did not clearly err by finding that, before puberty, there are no significant differences in athletic performance between boys and girls; treating small differences as insignificant; and finding that transgender girls who receive puberty-blocking medication do not have an athletic advantage over other girls,\" U.S. Circuit Judge Morgan Christen wrote in the unanimous decision affirming the lower court's decision.
\"Today's ruling from the 9th Circuit is a relief for our family,\" Helen Doe, mother of plaintiff Jane Doe, said in a statement released by the NCLR. \"With this ruling, our daughter can continue to play with her friends, make new friends, and experience all the benefits that school sports have to offer.\"
\"Megan is over the moon and immensely relieved to learn of the court's decision allowing her to play the sport she loves on the team that reflects her identity,\" a family representative stated, emphasizing the emotional importance of the ruling for the young athlete.
