Minnesota Supreme Court to Review Transgender Athlete Discrimination Case

The Minnesota Supreme Court is set to hear the case of JayCee Cooper, a transgender woman who sued USA Powerlifting for discrimination after being denied entry into competitions based on her gender identity. Cooper's case, with implications for trans athletes in Minnesota, highlights the ongoing legal battle over discrimination in sports. While lower courts have ruled in Cooper's favor, USA Powerlifting argues the denial was due to her physiology, not gender identity. The Supreme Court's decision may address broader issues of discrimination and equal access for protected classes in public accommodations.
