Maine Trans Athlete Battle: Federal judges don’t take Laurel Libby’s trial

After Maine State Rep. Laurel Libby brought a trial of her recent distrust of a social media post pointing out a trans athlete in a girls’ competition, all Maine’s Federal Judges have deducted from the case.

The judges, John C. Nivison, John A. Woodcock, Lance E. Walker, Karen F. Wolf, Stacey D. Neumann and Nancy Torresen, signed the decree order on Tuesday, shortly after the case was originally filed. No reason was given to the judges’ withdrawal. The case has since been referred to the District Rhode Island per year. More reports.

Libby was censored by the State House of Representatives on February 25 in a partisan 75-70 voice. The foundation of the censorship was that Libby published a photograph and named a trans athlete that was under 18 after the athlete won the first place for Greely High School at a state pole spolen vault competition. But Libby and her lawyers claim that the athlete had already been published by other media before her posts.

Maine House speaker Ryan Fecteau, who passed the censorship, is the most important defendant in the trial along with Representate House Robert Hunt. Maine Attorney General’s Office will represent Fecteau.

Libby’s lawsuit seeks to have her vote and speech rights restored. Fecteau said earlier that Libby’s rights would be restored when she apologized, but she has no intention of apologizing. Libby told Pakinomist Digital in an interview on Tuesday that she is calling on Fecteau to restore her rights to avoid taking the case in court and costing the taxpayers the award for any trial.

Libby represents more than 9,000 voters in Maine’s House District 90, and six of them have signed the trial as plaintiffs because distrust has hindered her ability to help perform other legislative actions to serve these voters.

“The speaker’s actions not only released me, but released the thousands of constituents that I represent, and that is the bigger picture here; the fact that the speaker in his eyes reciprocated against me because he does not like what I have to say,” Libby said.

For Libby, the trial is not only intended to restore her rights to her and her voters. She also said it is an important step in national efforts to fight trans -cluttering in women’s sports.

“Maine has, for whatever reason, been ground zero for this debate, and of course I want my voice back so I can talk to it; and when we address this question within the legislature, I hope that everything that has unfolded over the next few weeks can help change the course in the debate, so not Maine Girls, but girls across the country, have a reasonable, safe,

On Tuesday, Maine also became the first state to see a reduction in federal funding to refuse to comply with President Donald Trump’s executive order to keep trans athletes out of women’s and girls’ sports. The USDA issued a break on all funding to the University of Maine System, which is a network of eight public universities in the state.

Maine is under investigation of the US Department of Education and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for potential violations of title IX in relation to its rejection of complying with Trump’s recent executive order to prevent trans athletes from competing in girls and women’s sports.

HHS earned a notice of violation to State of Maine On February 25, declaring that the state violated title IX by allowing trans athletes to compete in girls’ sports. HHS later expanded the extent of the investigation to include Maine Principals Association and Greely High School.

Libby’s original social media posts that identified the trans athlete received national awareness of the situation in the state and even went prior to a public spat between Trump and head of government Janet Mills.

The controversy even encouraged a protest against Mills called “March Against Mills”, which took place outside Main’s State House on Saturday morning. Several female athletes welcomed the microphone at the march to speak against their Democracy Governor.
