A Maine lawmaker urged the Supreme Court to intervene as she got stuck in the state legislature’s right to vote and speak after opposing trans athletes allowed to participate in women’s sports.

Republican state Rep. Laurel Libby, who was banned from voting on the bill and spoke after a viral social media post related to the debate on trans athletes, issued an alarm nationwide while begging the Supreme Court to intervene.

“I and two-thirds of my fellow countrymen agreed that it was absolutely unfair, biological males dominate the women’s sport, pushing the girls aside,” Libby told Bill Hemmer on Tuesday. “With that in mind, it’s no big deal for the state we were told that this wasn’t happening, don’t release it again, the athlete has been dominant in the girls’ cross-country running in Nordic skiing.”

A girl’s track and field race in Maine became a widely controversial subject after a trans athlete dominated several running competitions last week.

The cross-identification athlete competed in the North Yarmouth Academy in Yarmouth, Maine, winning the Women’s 800m and 1600m. October 2023, Fox News Digital Report The athlete is transgender. Fox News Digital has contacted North Yarmouth College for comment.

The athlete has been making national headlines in Maine, dating back to that month, after finishing fourth in the women’s category after finishing the 172nd session in the boys. The athlete once again made national headlines for Nordic skiing competitions and won the podium at the Maine High School Nordic Ski Championships last February.

"We're just talking about an athlete," Libby said. "Only one of these biological male athletes pushed many of us young women to the podium."

Maine House Speaker Ryan Fecteau and Maine’s Democratic majority censored Libby for social media posts earlier this year, identifying a trans athlete who has moved from competing with boys to competing with girls. She noted that the athlete was ranked fifth in the boys’ competition two years ago.

If she apologizes for the position, they initially offer to restore her voting and speaking rights, but Libby tells them she won't apologize.

“My voters have no voice and vote in the Legislature,” she said. “There are two months of each call to vote, including on the Equal Rights Amendment, which resolves this issue and among other issues, I do not allow voting. So my voters are hurt.”

She continued: “I will not be allowed to represent their interests due to the exercise of my First Amendment rights.”

Libby filed a lawsuit against Fecteau on March 11 in response to condemnation, but Rhode Island District Court Judge Melissa Dubose ruled against Libby on April 22 in his case.

Dubose, appointed by former President Joe Biden in January, eventually presided over the case after every Maine district judge refused to accept it. He ended the case and ruled that it was in favour of Fecteau. The First Circuit Court of Appeals also ruled against Libby.

But she did not let legal setbacks stop her in order to protect First Amendment rights and fairness in women's sports. She hopes the Supreme Court will hear her case to set a formal record.

“Just like we see Britain, the Supreme Court ruled there that men are men and women are women,” she said. “We need the Supreme Court on our land to solve this problem and answer it once and for all so that Maine girls and girls across the country have a fair, safe and flat playing field.”

Meanwhile, the Justice Department announced a lawsuit against Maine in April because it has been violating Trump’s executive orders to disengage biological men from girls, women’s sports, and violations of Title IX.
