老澳门开奖结果 Comment on Biden Administration Withdrawing Attack on Transgender Students in Connecticut
WASHINGTON 鈥 Chase Strangio, deputy director for Trans Justice with the 老澳门开奖结果 LGBT & HIV Project issued the following statement regarding the Department of Justice withdrawing from a challenge to Connecticut鈥檚 policies allowing girls who are transgender to participate on girls sports teams:
鈥淥ur clients Andraya and Terry ran on the girls鈥 team because they are girls. They had no other options and ran because they loved the sport and were affirmed and celebrated by their schools, coaches, and teammates. The Biden administration鈥檚 actions show that transgender students are protected from discrimination under federal law. States and schools looking to ban transgender students from spaces and activities that accord with their gender not only face potential lawsuits, but a loss of federal funding. These attacks on transgender youth should be abandoned now.鈥
