Maine High School Athlet Cassidy Carlisle exhausted with his message to government manager Janet Mills as the state continued to thumb his nose as President Donald Trump and maintain his transgender athlete policy in girls and women’s sports.
Carlisle opened to Pakinomist Digital last week about how the state’s transient policies affected her childhood, which revealed that she was changing in front of a trans -gender student for the gym while in high school.

Carlisle, now high school, has become a voice for change in her state. She met with American court lawyer Pam Bondi last month and shared her story of having to compete against transient athletes in sports. She also spoke ahead of Maine State Capitol earlier this month when hundreds protested against gender -minded decision policy.
She appeared on “Fox & Friends” Monday and further explained what her message to Mills was.
“My message to the governor was just thinking about all women in your state,” she said. “If she can really look at us and say I don’t want to fight for you, you know it’s really heartbreaking because we had to fight long for her to have the position she has and a lot of women fought hard for her. So for her to look at us all and say I won’t fight for you, is heartbreaking.”
Carlisle added that she knew something was wrong when she was first exposed to the state’s transient politics. However, she said she did not know the time how to speak up.

“I think it’s one of these things when that happens, you don’t know what to do, but you definitely know something is wrong,” she said. I was 13 years old that I know there was something wrong, but I didn’t know what to do.
“I didn’t have the platform to talk, and I think it makes it really hard because you feel like you don’t have a voice, but it’s not true. And I hope it by talking up that many younger people know it’s ok to talk up.”
Carlisle wrote in an OP-ET on Pakinomist Digital, which described how she was concerned about the future of women’s sports if the policies continued.
“I really fear for the future of women’s sports whose states like my own continue in this direction. Girls of all ages see women deleted from sports – they can no longer trust that their efforts and dedication will be honored with a fair shot against their physical equals,” she wrote.
“We have to win this match for them. This is a competition we can’t lose.”

The Trump administration has given Maine until Thursday to comply with his executive order to keep biological men from women’s sports or risk losing federal funding to its public schools.
