Federal Judge Temporarily Blocks New Hampshire Trans Athlete Ban

Transgender teens challenge state law in court, with one allowed to play soccer during proceedings.

Judge Landya McCafferty issued an emergency order allowing a 15-year-old transgender girl to join her high school soccer team.
The lawsuit argues the 'Fairness in Women’s Sports Act' violates Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause.
Plaintiffs claim the law discriminates against transgender students by denying equal educational opportunities.
The state law, signed by Governor Chris Sununu, bars trans girls from participating in female sports teams.
A hearing to decide on the broader motion to block the law will be held within the next two weeks.
