Judge Blocks Request to Withdraw Lawsuit Over Idaho's Transgender Athlete Law
A judge ruled against a former transgender athlete in Idaho who attempted to drop her lawsuit slated for arguments at the Supreme Court this year.
The lawsuit challenges Idaho's ban on transgender athletes playing girls' and women's sports. District Judge David Nye rejected former Boise State student Lindsay Hecox's motion to dismiss her lawsuit.
Hecox sued the state in 2020 in hopes of trying out for the school's cross-country team. The legal battle reached the Supreme Court after justices agreed to take up the case in July.
Hecox sought to withdraw her lawsuit after the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case, citing "negative public scrutiny" because of the litigation and wanting to focus on "academic and personal goals."
Author's summary: Judge rejects withdrawal of lawsuit over Idaho's transgender athlete ban.
