For Star subscribers: Three transgender girls from Tucson are fighting an Arizona law that says public schools and any private schools that compete against them must designate their interscholastic and intramural sports strictly as male, female or coed.
Howard Fischer Capitol Media Services PHOENIX — Three Arizona mothers of biological girls want to intercede in a federal court case to keep their daughters from having to compete against transgender females.
By contrast, Rogers says, the three women have a specific — and immediate — interest in upholding the law: the real possibility that their daughters will have to compete against those born male. In fact, he told U.S. District Court Judge Jennifer Zipps, it appears that already has happened in at least two cases involving the mothers who want to intervene.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Tucson by the parents of two transgender girls, claims the ban is a violation of Title IX because it is discrimination on the basis of sex. It also says the ban would cause the girls"to experience shame and stigma, denies them well-known physical and mental benefit that arise from playing school sports and directly contributes to negative physical and emotional health consequences.
Amber Zenczak lives in Maricopa and has three daughters, two of whom are still minors who play sports. What makes all this relevant, Rogers argues, is that the three women"have standing under federal and Arizona law to sue to protect their daughters' interests."
