Judge temporarily blocks Arizona law banning transgender athletes
- A federal judge granted a preliminary injunction to allow a lawsuit filed on behalf of two transgender girls against Arizona's "Save Women's Sports Act."
- The judge stated there is no evidence transgender girls have an athletic advantage or pose safety risks to other players.
- The plaintiffs argue the law violates federal Title IX and equal protection under the Constitution.
- Arizona officials plan to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court.
- LGBTQ advocates say such laws are anti-transgender attacks disguised as protecting children.
