Two transgender high school students in New Hampshire are legally challenging President Trump's executive order that seeks to prohibit trans girls from competing on women's sports teams. The students, Parker Tirrell and Iris Turmelle, filed documents requesting that Trump and his administration be included in their previous lawsuit against their schools and local education officials. This case questions the constitutionality of the executive order, which aims to withdraw federal funding from non-compliant schools, framing it as an attack on the legal rights of transgender individuals.
The students' legal action highlights a constitutional challenge against Trump’s recent executive order aimed at baring transgender girls from competing in girls' sports.
A federal judge allowed the students to play while their lawsuit is pending, but Trump's directive puts their participation in jeopardy.
The lawsuit claims Trump’s order is a means to deny legal protections to transgender individuals and purge them from public recognition.
This case represents a significant confrontation against the government's attempts to rollback rights for transgender Americans particularly in educational sports.
