The parents of two transgender girls in Arizona filed a lawsuit Tuesday challenging a year-old state law banning trans girls from participating in school sports.

Attorneys for the families, whose names are concealed in court documents out of fear for their children's safety, filed a complaint in U.S. District Court in Tucson.

"The ban's exclusion of plaintiffs from participating in school sports because they are transgender denies them equal treatment under the law," attorneys wrote in the 21-page complaint. State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Horne, who is a defendant in the challenge, called the lawsuit's logic"backwards." It's about fairness, he added.

The Arizona Interscholastic Association, the Kyrene School District in Tempe and The Gregory School in Tucson are also named as defendants. A spokesperson from each did not immediately return email requests for comment.

Respect girls. Respect women. Boys need to stick to boy sports. Dignity is gone. Go back to California woke weirdos

BIOLOGICAL females have the right to single-sex showers, locker rooms and bathrooms AND a fair field of play in sports. Period. These people should be thrown out of court and brought up on charges for using their children for political gamesmanship.

This is not👎🏻

This ok👍🏻

These are kids were talking about what the hell do they know about being a different sex they probably haven’t even had sex yet. WTF is wrong with this damn country.

These parents got way too many participation trophies growing up. Hard times make hard people, THE WORLD IS NOT YOUR SAFE SPACE

2 kids, Both transgender? 🤔

😂 suing to let boys dominate girls at sports in school?

For fucks sakes, and what the fuck is wrong with the parents, what are the odds that both their boys want to be girls?

I hope so very much they win. Giving transgirls and boys the chance to do something that makes them feel less ostracized is a good thing

None of these commenters have ever watched women’s sports 😂 suddenly they care

Parents should be ashamed of themselves!

Let them play with the other boys

Separating gender in sport is a deliberate “handicapping” to allow Women to excel recognising bio gender brings physical advantages. We either have - Gender free sport - Biological sex based sport. - Trans gendered sport as an additional group to bio sex groups.

So parents of two boys, that wanna play on the girls team. Sorry that's not how it works. No. Keep your delusions to yourselves. And seek help.

Anything for attention!

when I was in high school, there was no girls soccer team, so we did have a few girls on our team (who later came out as LBTQ+++)... But now, there are girls teams... so...

I can’t imagine the things George Carlin would say about today

Let the kids be kids. Let them play. School sports is supposed to teach respect and camaraderie.

Can't hack it on the Boys teams so let's go beat up girls...pathetic!!!!

Pass…. Sorry we need to draw the line for our daughters

My god, please support real girls and form a team for trans alphabet. Leave real girls to thrive.

Do you know what the odds are that one family would have multiple transgender children?

They are boys

It doesn’t ban them from participating, they just have to play against the boys.

Children get killed by a gun... you get zero, maybe one comment. A trans child playing a sport? Almost 30 comments. Nice to know where people's priorities lie.

So two boys suck against boys at sports so they want to play with the girls?

GO AWAY. Ovaries aren’t playing with testicles.

Well there goes any bio girls chance of succeeding in sports in az.

I’d file a lawsuit against the doctors who do this shit for starters !!!! Unreal !!!!!

When will someone create a transgender sports league? Baseball,football, mma etc.

Parents of 2 boys who have Gender Dysphoria (a mental disorder) have filed a lawsuit challenging a year-old state law banning boys in girls sports. Fixed*

Here we go! Time to form a new league for transgender's. Everyone is welcome, including biological boys.

The Parents should be held accountable for brainwashing their own children. Parents need to know its OK to say NO.

I guess America and it’s freedom has no bounds. What could possibly go wrong

Arizona stand your ground! They have divisions for a reason their right doesn't mean they get to take something away from someone else.

Biological females have a right to expect FAIR PLAY in sport. Period. A biological male, no matter what changes he makes to his body, retains SIGNIFICANT advantages, incl lung capacity/muscle mass. 1/3

I totally get that this is a difficult topic and I’m not even sure there is one right solution, but making hateful and transgender comments is gross. I hope all y’all’s kids behave better than everyone in this comment section

Play on the boys team

JFC another ridiculous lawsuit taking up people's time and money to appease the looney people.

Two?

There should be a lawsuit against the parents!!!!!! How do you get those odd on having 2 Trans kids.......

Males belong in male sports

They are dudes! Biology says so. The parents need to take them to a psychologist.

Smh...

If they want to play sports, they can play with their own gender. Stop trying to put males in female sports!

They are males - period!

Of course the file suit in Tucson, the State's most liberal city.

Hobbs's hedonistic school plan will get these boys back on the playing field.

That's b.s. Girls born girls = play in girl's leagues Boys born boys = play in boy's leagues Stop the madness - biology, it's what makes the difference.
