Ban on 'male physiology' in women's sports could hurt Catholics, Minnesota Supreme Court suggests

State's high court already upheld sex-based bathrooms in employment, but worries about slippery slope if it upholds USA Powerlifting's ban on athletes who completed male puberty in women's competition.
The Minnesota Supreme Court is currently reviewing a case that challenges a proposed ban on transgender athletes participating in sports consistent with their gender identity, arguing that such a ban could negatively impact Catholic schools. The contention arises from a lawsuit filed by the Minnesota State High School League and the Minnesota Catholic Conference, asserting that the ban would infringe upon religious freedoms and potentially lead to discrimination against Catholic institutions. They argue that Catholic schools, which often have policies based on biological sex, could face penalties or exclusion from state sports programs if the ban is enforced. This case highlights the tension between state regulations on sports participation and religious doctrines concerning gender and identity.
