Minnesota Appeals Court Affirms State Law Preventing Ban on Trans Athletes
[Breitbart] A Minnesota appeals court has affirmed that banning transgender “women” from competing as a woman in sports is a violation of Minnesota’s left-wing “human rights” statutes.

The Minnesota Court of Appeals ruled Monday that a ban on a transgender weightlifter implemented by USA Powerlifting (USAPL) would be illegal in the state, KARE-TV reported.

In its ruling, the court sent back a case to a lower court instructing the court to determine if transgender powerlifter JayCee Cooper was banned from competing in the weightlifting organization because he is a man seeking to compete as a transgender woman.

Cooper brought his lawsuit to Minnesota in 2021 and won his case against USAPL last year when a Minn. court ruled in his favor.

In this week’s Appeals Court ruling, the judges determined that USAPL did, indeed, violate the state’s extremely left-wing Human Rights Act but did note that it did not seem exactly clear in the lower court’s case that the organization banned Cooper based solely on the fact that he is a man claiming to be a woman.

#1 We are approaching the point where some of these lifestyles might become mandatory. I will search my closet for my 80’s clothing from which I can fashion a disguise.

#2 For anyone who has ever played organized sports, the solution to this problem is obvious: create a new category for trans (aka fake) women. We already create separate sports leagues based on age, ability and gender.

The cold fact is that humans are a sexually dimorphic species with the males being, on average, bigger and stronger than females. Olympic-class women athletes perform at the level of high school boys. For example, record times in the 100 meter dash for 2024 :
Men__10.03 seconds
Boys__10.29
Women 11.10
In 2017, the US Women's National Soccer team lost to an Under-15 boys team 5-2. Soccer fans will recognize this as a blow-out.

Unfortunately, the obvious solution is beyond reach because the wokerati insist that fake women are identical to real women. Equality under the law is good and necessary, but Nature will not be fooled. Being a boy, even for a short time, makes you stronger and faster than the girls. Words on paper will not change this.

Notice how you never see trans (aka fake) men trying to play on men's teams?
Women's sports is a good thing. Shame to see it destroyed by some foolish idea.

#3 …on average, bigger and stronger and more aggressive than females.

Fixed it for you. ;-)
