MSHSL will follow MN law on transgender athletes in sports, not Pres. Trump's order

The Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) says that transgender student-athletes' eligibility to participate in sports is determined by state law, not President Donald Trump's recent Executive Order banning transgender athletes from women's or girl's sports.

MSHSL says that the eligibility of transgender student-athletes is "determined by state law, through the Minnesota Human Rights Act and the Minnesota Constitution."

The organization will continue to abide by the anti-discrimination laws in the state, which doesn't allow discrimination based on gender identity.

Because of these state laws, students in Minnesota can participate in sports consistent with their gender identity, despite Trump's new Executive Order.

2. Plus, Trump's EO is UNenforceable

in a court of law.
