Maine High School athlete Cassidy Carlisle explained his message to Governor Janet Mills while the state continued to bang his nose as President Donald Trump and maintain his transgender-athlete policies in sports for girls and women.
Carlisle opened last week at PK Press Club Digital on how transgender policies of the state affected her childhood, revealing that she was changing in front of a transgender student for the gym course during her stay in college.

Carlisle, now a high school student, has become a voice for change in his state. She met the American prosecutor General Pam Bondi last month and shared her story about having to compete with transgender athletes in sport. She also spoke before the Capitol of the State of Maine at the beginning of the month while hundreds of people protest against the inclusion policies between the sexes.
She appeared on “Fox & Friends” on Monday and explained more what her message was in Mills.
“My message to the governor was to think of us all the women in your state,” she said. “If she can really look at us and say that I’m not going to fight for you, then you know, it’s really heartbreaking because we had to fight for a long time so that she has the position she has and many women fought for her. So, for her to look at all of us and say that I will not fight for you is heartbreaking.”
Carlisle added that she knew that something was wrong when it was exposed for the first time to transgender policies of the state. However, she said she didn’t know at the time how to speak.

“I think that is one of these things, when it happens, you don’t know what to do, but you certainly know that something is wrong,” she said. I was 13 that I know that something was wrong, but I didn’t know what to do.
“I did not have the platform to speak, and I think it makes things really difficult because you have the impression that you have no voice, but that is not true. And I hope that by speaking that many young people know that it is ok to speak.”
Carlisle wrote in an editorial on PK Press Club Digital describing how it was worried about the future of female sports if policies were continuing.
“I really fear for the future of female sports if states like mine continue in this direction. Girls of all ages watch women be erased from sport-they can no longer have confidence that their effort and their dedication will be honored with a fair blow against their physical equals,” she wrote.
“We have to win this battle for them. This is a competition that we cannot lose.”

The Trump administration gave Maine until Thursday to comply with its decree to keep the biological men of female sports or risk losing federal funds to its public schools.
