Summary
Kristen Waggoner said Alliance Defending Freedom is pressing ahead with lawsuits in the 23 states without laws restricting trans athletes in girls' sports, calling the campaign part of a broader Title IX fight.
The push follows what she described as a landmark Supreme Court victory and ongoing cases in Washington, Minnesota, Connecticut and Vermont, with ADF saying it has a strategic plan for additional filings.
In Washington, Waggoner highlighted ADF's newest Title IX suit over a 16-year-old female wrestler who was allegedly sexually assaulted during a match against a trans athlete and said the firm will pursue the case until it wins.
She also pointed to ADF's long-running Connecticut case, where it says 2 trans runners cost girls more than 4 state titles and up to 85 opportunities, and argued lower-court setbacks in Minnesota will not stop appeals.
Waggoner said public opinion and media coverage have shifted over the past 10 years, citing support from 8 in 10 Americans for what she called fair play in women's sports.
