BOISE, Idaho — A federal appeals court ruled that a Boise State University student’s lawsuit against Idaho’s transgender athlete ban can move forward.
Lindsay Hecox temporarily withdrew from Boise State amid her case challenging the constitutionality of Idaho’s ban on transgender women competing in female school sports. State attorneys argued the case was moot because Hecox was no longer a student.
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco sided with Hecox, and pointed out that she has re-enrolled at the school and is currently a member of the women’s club soccer team.
