Arizona attorney drops transgender sports case following U.S. Supreme Court ruling
An attorney is dropping her lawsuit over whether Arizona can enforce a law against transgender girls from participating in girls' sports.Rachel Berg said Tuesday that she still believes that a blanket ban in Arizona, which passed in 2022, is illegal, even following a ruling last week by the U.S. Supreme Court upholding similar restrictions in Idaho and West Virginia. She said there are issues in the case here which were not addressed by the nation's high court.But Berg told Capitol Media Services that the one remaining plaintiff in the case has decided that she is done pursuing her claim."This case was filed over three years ago," Berg said.And she said that this kind of multiyear federal lawsuit "can be particularly grueling for young people.""So our client has decided for personal reasons that she does not want to continue with the litigation," Berg said.State schools chief Tom Horne hailed the decision as "a victory for girl athletes and for common sense."Berg, however, said she believes there is still a legal path forward in federal should any other transgender girl choose to try to participate in girls' sports.Republican lawmakers have put a measure on the November ballot to tighten up some of what is in the 2022 law.
