Maine State representative Laurel Libby got her speech rights restored by co -state legislators on Wednesday, five months after she was censored after a social media post identified a trans athlete.
The Supreme Court restored Libby’s voting rights on May 20, after she brought a lawsuit in response to distrust, but her speech rights are still detained from her so far. Libby still led his lawsuit against the Maine House speaker Ryan Fecteau to overturn the full distrust.
Libby told Pakinomist Digital that she went into the state’s capital on Wednesday unaware that her talking rights would be restored today, and she didn’t even find out at the end of the session when she and others were ready to postpone.

Just before postponement, the house assistant’s majority leader Lori Gramlich suggested a decision that Libby’s full vote and speech rights upon postponement would be restored. The resolution adopted with a vote of 115-16.
“It was a surprise, it was our 33. Supplement on the day, and within minutes it was on the floor,” Libby said.
Libby’s distrust was originally adopted on February 25 by a vote of 75-70. Libby said there was no reason for Wednesday’s surprise solution that ended the censorship. But she thinks it’s because of the momentum she had in her trial and the growing public opposition to trans athletes in girls’ sports.
“Democrats know that they are losing on this question that the majority of not only Mainers but Americans do not agree with their extreme attitude that allows biological men to participate in girls’ sports,” Libby said. “They know they are losing about the question they know they are losing in the courts regarding my trial that I filed … and therefore they were hollowing out because they know they are losing and that is the best way for them to save face.”
Maine teens fight against state democrats about girls’ sports bills after enduring trans athlete chaos in high school
President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that requires states to only allow women to compete, but several democratic states, including Maine, have defied the order and continue to enable trans-clutter.
The US Department of Justice and Law Attorney Pam Bondi has even brought their own separate trial against the state Maine to continue to defy the order.
Libby has been a central figure in the conservative pushback against democratic policies that enable Trans -Inclusion in girls’ sports in Maine. In addition to her lawsuit against Fecteau, Libby has repeatedly been critical of Mills for her rejection of complying with Trump.
It started when she made a Facebook post that identified a trans athlete who won a girls’ pole vault competition for Greely High School in February, causing pushback from Democrats in the state who criticized her for identifying a minor who was the main prerequisite for her distrust. However, she and her lawyers claimed that the trans -athlete had already been published in other media.
The same trans -athlete then jumped over the Spring Track and Field State Championships earlier in June.
ONE Examination of The coalition of the American parents found that out of approx. 600 registered Maine voters said 63% that school sports participation should be based on biological sex, and 66% agreed that it is “only fair to limit women’s sports to biological women.”
Many Maine residents even have the entire school districts up to Mills’ policy with Libby. Maine’s school districts RSU # 24 and MSAD # 70 have each adopted their own located decisions to keep girls’ stains for female students. There have also been three major protests against current policies in the state’s capital, Augusta, since February.
