” USA Powerlifting did not remove JayCee Cooper because of her sex identity”, the group’s lead prosecutor Ansis V. Viksnins told Fox in a statement. Due to her biology, she was unable to compete in the women’s section at USA Powerlifting because she was a man during puberty. She enjoys strength advantages over other women.
To ensure athletes with similar gender, age, and weight have equal chances of success, they must maintain distinct categories. According to medical research, players who have experienced male puberty have a significant strength advantage over those who are female puberty athletes. Additionally, the results of clinical studies indicate that suppressing testosterone only marginally reduces the power advantage. The power differences between competitors are important because bodybuilding is a power game. It is necessary to keep fairness and integrity in the game by excluding male to female trans powerlifters from the children’s section.

The situation could now be moved to a lower judge, or Cooper might attempt to bring it before the Supreme Court. Cooper’s lawyer did not respond to Fox’s ask for a reply.
According to Judge Matthew Johnson’s long mind, the court concluded” there are no real issues of material fact on Cooper’s claim of aiding and abetting discrimination and, consequently, affirm the district court’s grant of summary judgment on that claim.”
Cooper played sports for men before changing her title somewhere between 2015 and 2016 when she was 28 years old, according to court records. In 2018, Cooper joined USA Powerlifting.
