The following report is by Indiana Public Radio:
The case is over a law passed in early 2022, which bans transgender girls from girls school sports. Lawmakers overturned the governor’s veto of the ban at the end of May.
The ACLU of Indiana filed a lawsuit on behalf of a transgender girl to allow her to keep playing softball in Indianapolis Public Schools. They won a preliminary injunction in July, halting the bill.
The original decision by federal Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson was based on two fairly recent rulings which extended the prohibition of discrimination on the basis of sex to transgender and queer identities – Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia and Whitaker v. Kenosha Unified School District No. 1 Board of Education.
She wrote that to comply with Indiana’s law, HEA 1041, Indianapolis Public Schools would be required to break federal law by discriminating against transgender girls, on the basis of sex.
And, notably, [the ban] does not prohibit all transgender athletes from playing with the team of the sex with which they identify – it only prohibits transgender females from doing so.
The singling out of transgender females is unequivocally discrimination on the basis of sex, regardless of the policy argument as to why that choice was made.
Magnus-Stinson wrote.
But the student is now attending a charter school that is not operated by Indianapolis Public Schools, which was the defendant in the lawsuit.
As a result, the case was dismissed Wednesday, the preliminary injunction vacated and the law now goes into effect.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
