Three transgender student athletes are asking a state court judge to block a new law from going into effect, banning them from playing sports matching their gender identity.
A request was filed this week in Salt Lake City's 3rd District Court, asking a judge to issue a preliminary injunction.
Governor Spencer Cox vetoed the bill, objecting to the ban, and the legislature met in special session to override that. The legislature did include a clause that if the courts were to strike down the ban, it would default back to the special commission. In her affidavit, Roe described trying to keep her grades up to participate in sports and wanting to continue to participate in girls volleyball. The new law, she wrote,"scares me."
"I just want to go to school and plays sports and not be the focus of negative attention," she wrote, adding that she would not participate if she could not do cross-country meets.
