Judge Blocks Request to Withdraw Lawsuit Over Idaho's Transgender Athlete Law
A judge ruled against a former transgender athlete in Idaho who attempted to drop her lawsuit slated for arguments at the Supreme Court this year.
Former Boise State student Lindsay Hecox sued the state in hopes of trying out for the school's cross-country team in 2020, challenging Idaho's ban on transgender athletes playing girls' and women's sports.
District Judge David Nye rejected Hecox's motion to dismiss her lawsuit, which was filed in 2020 and had reached the Supreme Court after justices agreed to take up the case in July.
Hecox sought to withdraw her lawsuit citing
"negative public scrutiny" because of the litigation and wanting to focus on "academic and personal goals".
