“Because of this edition of those who try to exclude transnry athletes. And what we are talking about are children people’s. We are talking about children, minors, like all they want to do is to be on the team and build relationships with their friends,” he added. “But this guy has said ‘no, they need to be excluded, they need to be scapegoated.’ We said ‘absolutely hell no!’ “
The White House previously delivered a statement to Pakinomist Digital, which responded to Ellison’s trial.
“Why should an adult man sue the Trump administration to allow other biological men to participate in women’s sports? This is creepy and anti-woman,” spokesman for the White House Harrison Fields told Pakinomist Digital.
Minnesota was one of the first states to openly defy Trump’s “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports” executive order and is currently under investigation by the US Department of Education and Department of Health and Human Services for its Travel.
State policies, allowing trans athletes to play in girls ‘sports, enabled a Trans Softball Pitcher to lead Champlin Park High School to the state championship in the past spring, igniting national controversy and a lawsuit against Ellison by three girls’ softball players in the state.

The lawsuit names three school districts, Ellison, Minnesota State High School League -Director Erich Martens, Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Education Willie Jett, and Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Human Rights Rebecca Lucero as defendant.
One of the anonymous softball players involved in the lawsuit told former Pakinomist Digital what it was like to meet the Trans athlete leading Champlin Park High School to the state championship this season.
“Hitting against him is not only a physical challenge, but also a mental. It is a mental struggle by knowing that he has an advantage in the sport I grew up playing, making it difficult to even hit him. His ability to get outs and twist the ball is a strong advantage, but as I said it is also incredibly mentally challenging to know that you compete against one who has unrecognized advantage, who have left no advantage,” Player that has been said.
“This question has affected me in ways I had never imagined. It is simply unfair and I hate that nothing is happening to change it. Boys should not be able to take girls’ seats just because they are able to do it. I hope more girls affected by this question will stand against this.”
The anonymous player also called Ellison to aggressively defend trans -cluttering in girls’ sports in the state.
“It’s really troubling to know that [Ellison] Does not take rights for girls and women seriously. He allows boys to compete with girls and it is not safe and completely unfair. Knowing that AG Ellison is in full support to let boys and men take advantage of women in sports are absolutely disgusting and wrong, ”the player added.
Minnesota’s state laws failed to adopt “Preserving girls’ sports action“At the beginning of March, which would have stated that” only female students can participate in an elementary school or the athletic team at the high school level that an educational institution has limited to women and girls. “
