The Supreme Court in Minnesota ruled that a man was discriminated against on the basis of sex and sexual orientation when he was barred from competing with women in powerlifting. Joel “Jaycee” Cooper was prohibited from competing with female powerlifters by USA Powerlifting in 2018 and instead of admitting that he should stay out of the women’s category, he right away started litigating. According to Reduxx, “in 2019, Cooper was recorded as weighing 280 pounds, and had already won two titles in the women’s category despite having only entered the sport the year before and set a new bench press record with a 214.5-pound lift.” The judge in the Minnesota case sees no problem there. She ruled that he was discriminated on the basis of sex and sexual orientation. This ruling may not stand for long. The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear two major cases — one from West Virginia and another from Idaho — that could redefine how sex is interpreted under Title IX. Both involve bans on biological males competing in women’s sports. If the Court upholds those bans, it could effectively overturn decisions like this one in Minnesota. I am betting that they will do exactly that so this guy should not unpack his gym bag in the ladies locker room just yet.
