Let me tell you a little more about these legal actions.
Track athletes Selina Soule, Chelsea Mitchell, Alanna Smith, and Ashley Nicoletti have filed a lawsuit against the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference. Now, the courts must answer the question: Do female athletes have the right to compete on a level playing field?
And in Idaho, female collegiate athletes Madison Kenyon and Mary Kate Marshall have been allowed to intervene in a lawsuit to defend Idaho’s Fairness in Women’s Sports Act, a law that the ACLU is trying to strike down permanently.
Madison and Mary Kate have experienced what it feels like to line up at the start of a race and know they can’t win. They’ve both raced against male athlete June Eastwood, who competed on the Montana State University men’s team for three years before competing as a woman last year.
And when the God-given differences between the sexes are ignored, women pay the price. Unsurprisingly, Eastwood easily beat the entire field of women, at the Big Sky Conference Indoor Track and Field Championships this past year.
But none of this should be allowed.
Because of Title IX, Selina, Chelsea, Alanna, Ashley, Madison, Mary Kate, and women across America have the right to fair athletic competition.
Thankfully, while many women and girls are too intimidated to speak up for basic fairness, these few young women refuse to back down. They are taking stand to protect women’s sports. But they can’t do it alone.
That’s why they need your help. With the support of friends like you, every one of these young women is being represented free of charge by ADF.
The law must honor the differences between the sexes, and the outcome of these cases could impact millions of young women nationwide.
Can these young women count on the generous support of Americans like you to fund this historic legal action? Please click here to make a much-needed gift right away.
Just imagine being a female athlete in this situation.
Imagine losing a state championship or a spot on the victory podium to a male athlete who shouldn’t be competing in women’s sports. Imagine being overlooked for an award, a ranking, or even a college athletic scholarship.
And then imagine being afraid to speak up because if you do, you could be ridiculed or bullied.
Young women across the country—girls like your daughters and granddaughters—no longer have to imagine it. They are living it.
This isn’t “progress”—and it’s not fair.
And yet, radical activists continue to oppose efforts to protect #FairPlay at every turn. They’re fighting us in court. They’re fighting us in the media. They’re fighting us in academia.
If they get their way, female athletes will soon end up on the sidelines of their own sports!
We cannot allow that to happen! We must stand and fight to defend common sense, basic fairness, and the rights and opportunities of girls and women across America.
Please take a stand to defend women’s sports today.
