Two teenage boys in New Hampshire are being propped up as the faces of an expanded lawsuit challenging President Trump’s executive order banning males from women’s sports.
The lawsuit, greenlit by a judge on Wednesday, was filed by activist law firms GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders (GLAD) and the American Civil “Liberties” Union (ACLU). The teens represented - Parker Tirrell, 15, and Iris Turmelle, 14 - are both male athletes who claim they’re girls.
Their families initially filed the suit solely against New Hampshire in August, demanding the state overturn Republican Governor Chris Sununu’s Fairness in Women’s Sports Act so both boys can invade the high school girls’ team for their respective athletics. A federal judge ultimately caved this past fall, allowing them to compete against girls while their families still challenge the state ban.

In a statement lapped up by ESPN, Tirrell, a 10th grader, credited his acceptance on the girls’ soccer team for allowing him “go to school like other kids and keep playing the game [he] love[s].” (Apparently he couldn’t do that without stealing opportunities meant for young women.)
Turmelle, on the other hand, is elated to join the girl’s tennis team this Spring.
In a puff piece published by the New Hampshire Bulletin, his mother concluded he was “trans,” because he had always ignored the toy trucks his grandmother gifted him at a young age, and would prance downstairs wearing his blanket like a skirt. He was only 6 years old.
But that doesn’t matter to GLAD, which blames institutionally adopted common sense for “systematic[ally] targeting” young people “during their most vulnerable years,” versus the ideologically corrupted adults for taking advantage of those years to indoctrinate them.
