And it is not possible for courts to change biology by an injunction, and, the Trump! DoJ pretends it knows what the biology is that is involved -- and it doesn't.
This effort will no doubt fail until it gets to the SCOTUS, which will take no notice of evidence it doesn't like.
I look forward to the mid-terms scaring the SoCons in the SCOTUS into suddenly beginning to care what is measured biological reality -- transgender people exist, and, no "masculine" athletic advantage had for any reason by any transgender or cisgender survives HRT.
I met Keith Ellison a number of years ago at Pride. It was only a few weeks after I started living as a male and before I had received any physically altering treatment. He was our congressional representative at the time. Anyway, we had a rather lengthy conversation about a number of things, i.e., not limited to trans issues. At no point did I sense or feel a lack of regard or respect from him. He was all ears and supportive—not at all in the pandering sense.
We know they don’t know how to write lawsuits. Every one’s sex at conception is female. Embryo’s default state is female until genes tell it otherwise. I guess that means EVERYONE goes to women’s lockers and bathrooms. Oops they meant sex at birth. Other thing Trump does not get is an executive order has no enforcement power. I have heard it described as glorified press release. It is nothing more than that. It will fall at the Supreme Court too once what I know becomes common knowledge. Things the Spirit of God has revealed to me since 2015.
The Department of Justice’s lawsuit against Minnesota is a dangerous and unprecedented federal overreach designed to force discrimination under the guise of civil rights enforcement.
This action goes far beyond legal interpretation — it attempts to weaponize federal authority to impose an anti-transgender bathroom and sports ban that directly targets vulnerable young people and undermines state sovereignty.
Minnesota has chosen to protect the dignity, safety, and equal participation of all its residents, including transgender students, through policies grounded in medical consensus, educational equity, and basic human rights.
The DOJ’s lawsuit seeks to erase those protections and replace them with a one-size-fits-all mandate rooted in political ideology rather than evidence or constitutional necessity.
This is not about fairness in sports or privacy; it is about exclusion.
It invites fear, harassment, and government-sanctioned discrimination against transgender youth who already face disproportionately high levels of bullying, mental health harm, and social marginalization. Federal power should never be used to single out a minority group for reduced rights or forced invisibility.
States have both the authority and the responsibility to ensure safe and inclusive environments for their students.
By attempting to override Minnesota’s protections, the DOJ is setting a deeply troubling precedent — one where civil rights law is twisted to strip protections away rather than expand them.
I strongly oppose this lawsuit and stand with Minnesota in defending equality, local governance, and the fundamental principle that every student deserves respect, safety, and the freedom to participate fully in public life without government-mandated discrimination.
It's time for this bigoted, morally bankrupt, depraved administration, to end its racist and subversive agenda and leave this community alone and stop trumps obsession with MN Governor.

It's is sad how they name these bills- they should just be called, Trans and Women hating legislation.
Doesn't Pam Bondi have enough to do, what with redacting and hiding all the Epstein Files and prosecuting anyone who ever worked for or espoused loyalty to President Biden? History is NOT going to look back on this period as one of our finest. Make America Great Again indeed!
The whole planet is circling the drain and all that these wing-nut crackpots can think of is bullying trans women?! This perverse obsession has to be called out and exposed in the media. Pickets at television stations and letter-writing campaigns to same. Check out the porn industry’s research into red states having the highest rates of hits on trans porn!! Throw that monkey wrench into their machinery!!

Thank you for your reporting, Baum.
This was totally predictable. The regime's fascist war against all things trans continues.
I'm surprised the lawsuit doesn't mention "Somali fraud" as well. They're so mad that Minnesota doesn't match their fantasy of the MAGA midwest

Sorry if it gets to the supreme court they will agree with trump as they do 99.9% of the time

Thanks for this report, S. Baum.
And thank you, Minnesotians who are on the right side of history.
