A federal judge decided to temporarily block an Idaho law that bars transgender women from participating in school sports and requires testing if an athlete’s sex is in question
A federal judge decided Monday to temporarily block an Idaho law that bars transgender women from participating in school sports and requires testing if an athlete’s sex is in question.
Nye acknowledged that Idaho’s ban is “in stark contrast to the policies of elite athletic bodies that regulate sports both nationally and globally,” which allow transgender women to participate in sports if they meet certain requirements. The law "burdens all female athletes with the risk and embarrassment of having to 'verify' their 'biological sex' in order to play women’s sports," he said.
Monday's ruling is in favor of three unnamed plaintiffs and Lindsay Hecox, a track athlete and freshman at Boise State University who is transgender. The ruling comes as the fall sports season could start in Idaho, where Hecox is preparing to try out for the track and cross country teams at Boise State University.
Idaho officials had asked Nye to throw out the case because there is no direct allegation that there are plans to enforce the law against the Hecox or the other athletes, or any history of enforcement "because it's a brand new law." But Nye said the harm Hecox alleges — the inability to participate on women’s teams — already arose when the law took effect on July 1.
