Two boys who identify as girls drop lawsuit following Supreme Court ruling

Two teenage boys who identify as girls withdrew their lawsuit in New Hampshire following a Supreme Court ruling that upheld state bans on boys competing in girls' sports. 

Parker Tirrell and Iris Turmelle filed lawsuits against New Hampshire's ban on males competing on female sports teams, and in 2024, they amended their complaint to include a challenge to Trump's executive order last year that aimed to protect females from having to compete against males in sports, the Associated Press reported. 

A federal judge had granted a court order that allowed the boys to compete against girls while the case proceeded. 

On Thursday, their lawyer, Chris Erchull of GLAD Law, cited the recent Supreme Court decision, as well as the "extraordinary hostility" the boys face for their choice to compete against girls, in his clients' decision to withdraw their lawsuit.
