As we’ve seen in states all over the U.S., even in Minnesota, girls who are forced to compete against male athletes lose their opportunities, such as championships, scholarships, and podiums.
That’s why True North Legal, Kansas Family Foundation and 38 other Family Policy Councils filed an amicus brief on behalf of Rep. Barb Ehardt and 200+ female legislators in the Hecox v. Little case, in the U.S. Supreme Court today.
Every female legislator in Minnesota joined this brief, representing the voice of women and girls across Minnesota, and across the country. We thank every female legislator who joined this brief for her courage to stand up for the truth!
Our brief argues that Title IX makes clear that eligibility for women's and girls' athletics should be determined based on sex, male and female biology, rather than a person’s sense of gender.
As many of you know, True North Legal worked alongside our legislative allies in the House, including Rep. Peggy Scott, helping the Minnesota House lead the way on the Preserve Women’s Sports Act which passed out of committee and made it to the House floor. True North Legal is also in the courts on this issue alongside our friends at ADF, representing female athletes in Minnesota in FAU v. Ellison, et al.
