Transgender launcher, Marissa Rothenberger, led Champlin Park High School to the minnesota softball championship after a pair of playoffs on Wednesday.
The launcher’s domination this season has caused a trial of three opposing anonymous players in the midst of a national fracture on the legality of Trans athletes in sports for girls.

One of the players involved in the trial reacted to the launcher race at the championship game in an exclusive declaration at PK Press Club Digital, provided by his lawyers at Alliance Defanding Freedom (ADF).
“It is overwhelming to see a male athlete dominate our sport and to withdraw the opportunities of the girls who worked hard all season to go to the championship match in the state tournament. In addition to injustice, it is often a risk of playing physical sport like a softball against a male athlete,” said the statement.
“I am proud of the girls who played hard, and at the end of the day deserve it more than a boy, but I hope that more people will continue to defend female sports and take the rights of women and girls seriously.”
The anonymous player’s team has not reached the championship match, said the ADF.
Adf lawyer, Suzanne Beecher, also weighed on the situation.
“The belief of a man about his sex does not erase the physical advantages compared to female athletes. And each girl in competition deserves the chance to experience the thrill of victory,” Beecher told PK Press Club Digital.
“What happened this evening was not only unfair, but put on each female athlete to risk injuring himself because of the clear differences in human biology to women. We have filed a complaint against Minnesota officials to upset their radical policies who injured female athletes through the State and restore their opportunities in fair and safe competition.”
On Wednesday, Rothenberger launched the quarter-final and the semi-final, and even hit two doubles in the semi-finals to help arouse a return.
Champlin Park will now face Bloomington Jefferson n ° 4 in the title for the title on Friday at the Jane Sage Cowles stadium of the University of Minnesota.

The Champlin Park school district previously made a statement to PK Press Club Digital defending the decision to allow the athlete to compete in the softball team.
“Throughout the season, and as the rebels qualify for the state tournament, it is important to note that all the athlete students participating in the Softball team at Champlin Park are eligible to compete, the district is unable to provide comments on a specific athlete,” a declaration by the Anoka-Hennepin declared the school district.
“In addition, the district is appointed in an active trial which limits the shared information.”
Meanwhile, the Office of the Attorney General of Minnesota, Keith Ellison, published a statement meeting the trial against the state for Rothenberger’s participation in the women’s softball season.
“In addition to doing the exercise and the pleasure of competition, playing sports is accompanied by many advantages for young people. You are establishing friendships that can last a lifetime, you learn to work as part of a team, and you feel as if you belong,” said Ellison.
“I believe it is bad to distinguish a group of students, who are already confronted at higher levels of intimidation and harassment, and to tell these children that they cannot be part of the team because of whom they are. I will continue to defend the rights of all students to play sports with their friends and their peers.”
After President Donald Trump signed the executive decree of “men to keep men in women’s sport”, the Minnesota State High School League announced it would challenge federal law by allowing transgender athletes to continue playing in female sports. Ellison then said at a press conference on April 22 that he had received an opinion from the Ministry of Justice threatening legal action if the State had not followed the decree, then the Attorney General decided to continue.
The White House later responded to the trial, condemning Ellison for having brought legal action to allow trans inclusion.

“Why would an adult continue the Trump administration to allow other organic men to participate in female sports? It is frightening and anti-Femme,” said White House spokesperson Harrison Fields, in PK Press Club Digital.
Minnesota’s state legislature has not succeeded “Preserve girls from sports for girls“At the beginning of March, which would have declared that” only students can participate in a sports team or a sport of elementary or secondary level that a teaching establishment limited to women and girls. “”
