His demand alleges that Osaa not only excluded them from the official photos, but also retained his medals. The lawsuit argues that officials violate the officials of the first amendment of girls.

“I recently competed against a biological man at my state athletics meeting, another girl and I decided to give up the podium in protest to the unfair competition environment,” Anderson told News Digital. “I am struggling to maintain XX female sports and prevent biological men in women’s sports are normal. In doing so, I hope that all future athletes generations have a safe and fair opportunity to excel within their sports.”

News Digital contacted the OSAA to get an answer.

The girls are being represented by the America First Policy Institute (NewsI).
