“As I said before, it is not only a question of knowing who can compete in the sports field, it is a question of knowing if a president can oblige compliance with his will, regardless of the rule of law which governs our nation. I think he cannot.”
The Ministry of Justice accused the state of “flouting openly and challenging the anti-discrimination federal law by applying policies that force girls to compete with boys in sports competitions designated exclusively for girls”, according to a complaint obtained by PK Press Club.
“By prioritizing gender identity on biological reality, Maine’s policies deprive the athletes of girls of equitable competition, refuse them equal sporting opportunities and expose them to increased risks of physical injuries and psychological damage,” added the complaint.
The complaint said that the United States will request “a judgment granting a declaratory injunction and damaging the violations of defendant of the defendant of the title IX and the federal financing contracts which he signed promising to comply with title IX and his implementation regulations”.
