Track athlete Alanna Smith, a high school student in Connecticut, told Fox News on Wednesday she was “disappointed” after the Department of Justice in Biden withdrew its support for her lawsuit to prevent transgender athletes from participating in girls’ sports.
The Department of Justice supported Smith’s case during the Trump administration last year.
Smith, who fights the rule after being placed under a transgender runner in an event, told Fox News Primetime that she and other female athletes “worked hard to get our stories out there to make people realize that justice must be restored in our sport and in all other women’s sports “.
Smith hopes that people ‘will realize that many biological females have failed to attend events that really matter … and the transgender athletes have taken places on the stage that belong to biological females.

“We train so many days a week, so many hours to be the best in our state and the best in our region, and these biological men just take it from us and we really deserve it.”
Smith’s attorney, Christiana Holcomb of the Alliance Defending Freedom, promised that the case would continue and called the DOJ’s decision “politically motivated”.

“What’s more important is that this effort has not only isolated the legal protection of women than we see in Connecticut,” she said. ‘The Biden government is also now pushing for the so-called Equality Act, which ignores the physical differences between men and women and threatens the privacy of women, homeless shelters for women and yes, even women’s sports at the national level for female athletes like Alanna. . “
“Title IX is designed to ensure that girls like Alanna have a fair and equal playing field,” Holcomb concluded, “We want to move forward and want to see women’s sports protected across the country.”
