The lawsuit claims the teens are being denied equal educational opportunities and are being discriminated against because they are transgender
MEREDITH, N.H. – The families of two transgender teens in New Hampshire filed a lawsuit Friday challenging a new state law that bans them from playing on girls’ sports teams at their public high schools.
Tirrell, who is starting 10th grade this year at Plymouth Regional High School, played soccer with the girls’ team in 9th grade and said she wants to start practising with the team again ahead of the first game on Aug. 30. The lawsuit claims the New Hampshire law violates constitutional protections and federal laws because the teens are being denied equal educational opportunities and are being discriminated against because they are transgender.
He said at the time that the law was widely supported and that New Hampshire was joining nearly half of all U.S. states in taking such a measure. Turmelle is entering her first year of high school at Pembroke Academy and says she’s looking forward to trying out for both the tennis and track and field teams.
