A Minnesota appeals court has affirmed that banning transgender “women” from competing as a woman in sports is a violation of Minnesota ’s left-wing “ human rights ” statutes. The court ruled that a ban on a transgender weightlifter implemented by USA Powerlifting (USAPL) would be illegal in the state. The court sent the case back to a lower court to determine if transgender powerlifter JayCee Cooper was banned from competing because he is a man seeking to compete as a transgender woman.
The judges determined that USAPL violated the state’s Human Rights Act but noted that it was not clear if the ban was solely based on Cooper's gender identity
