Cassidy Carlisle She was in seventh grade, she said, when she had to change in the same locker room as a transgender student.
During the Gym class at Pressque Isle High School in northern Maine six years ago, she said, she entered in locker room Finding a biological male who would change with her and other girls. She claims that her administrators told her that if she tries to avoid a change with trance to students, she raised to late for classes.
“It was really my first experience in the knowledge that something was wrong, but not knowing what to do with it,” Carlisle said in an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital. Fox News Digital addressed the Pressque Isle High School for comment.
As transgenderism in sports moved the 2024 elections and lit a national counterculture
Gender identity was first involved in Maine’s human rights Act as part of a definition of sexual orientation in 2005. In 2021, the law was amended to add gender identity as its own protected class, joining other protected classes such as sex, sexual orientation, disability, race, color and religion. The law is especially saying that withholding equal opportunities in athletic programs is discrimination against education.
The transgender student was only in the locker room for girls for about a week, Carlisle claims, before it disappeared mysteriously. But the memory of the experience stuck with her.

The memory was particularly stuck with her in her junior high school year, when she learned that she would compete with trances at the Nordic Ski team.
It was an athlete with whom she was known. She has already lost to athletes at race competitions in previous years.
When her father told her that she would have to face the athlete in skiing again, Carlisle did not believe that this was happening.
“I was like, ‘Oh, that’s just something I somehow hear about in the news. It won’t happen to me, “Cassidy recalled.

But that happened to her.
“The defeat that comes with that is heart at that moment,” Carlisle said. “I’m in shock in some way. I didn’t believe it. … I didn’t think it was happening to me.”
As a child, Carlisle particularly abandoned the hockey team of the coefficient because she felt that she could not keep step with the boys. Then, even after committing to sports only for girls, she could not escape the physical deficiency that was confronted with biological males.
In addition to the anxiety of the situation, Carlisle felt like she couldn’t talk about it.
“I’ve been silent for a while,” Carlisle said. “It is very difficult to speak if you do not have a platform for it. … Backlash is a huge thing. I am a high school student. No high school student wants to be injured or shouting or saying bad comments of people. And the reality of that, with the state I live in, could happen.”
What she could do was vote in the November election. As a voter for the first time, she voted to voting leaflets with the question of athletes in maiden sports at the helm.
AND National output survey The Legal Action Committee of Legislative Action interested in America found that 70% of moderate voters saw “opposition to Donald Trump to transgender boys and men dealing with girls and women’s sports and transgender boys and men using girls and women’s bathrooms” as important for them.
And 6% said that this was the most important question of all, while 44% said it was “very important”.
When the Republican Maine State Rep. Lovor Libby He spoke against another trance of athletes at the beginning of this year, who won a girl’s competition in February, Carlisle suddenly got the opportunity to influence the question.
Trump administrator responds to Maine’s reluctance to ban trans athletes from maiden sports
Libby’s post on social networks that identifies the trans -a -modern player has inserted the whole country to war in culture. She became zero for the national battle over the question that Trump’s administration led against several countries under the control of Democrats such as Maine after Trump signed an executive order to solve the problem of the 5th February.
Suddenly thousands of people in Maine spoke against state laws that allow for transition to involve sports and locker rooms for girls, all with the support of the president.
So he joined Carlisle.
On February 27, Carlisle traveled to the White House with several other current and former athletes who were affected by the trance, including Payton McNabb and Selina Soule. There they met with Pamo Bonda Attorney General and several other state prosecutors and shared their stories.
Carlisle couldn’t help him to notice the absence in the White House that day,
“None of our AGs were from our country,” Carlisle said.
Well, when Carlisle returned to her state, she took things into her own hands.
Last weekend, she gave a speech ahead of Maine Capitol, talking to hundreds of other residents there to protest against the government Janet Mills because of her continuous transmission of trans -a -car sports.
It was a second protest against Mills outside the capitol in a month after March at Mills Rally on March 1.
Trump’s administration takes aggressive measures in order to follow the state’s desire to Carlisle and other residents who want women protected from trans- inclusion.
17. March Civic Rights Office (OCR) for Health and Human Services (OCR) announced that if it is found Maine Department of Education, Association of principal Maine and Greely High School, violating the title IX due to the continuation of the transition to the involvement of girls.
In the announcement, the department said that Maine had 10 days to correct his policy with a signed agreement or refer to the risk of the Ministry of Justice USA for appropriate measures.

Trump has already shown a willingness to reduce federal financing to implement these policies. Stopped $ 175 million funding to the University of Pennsylvania and temporarily paused last week financing at the University of Maine, until the review found that the system was fully compliance with Trump’s commands.
The deadline for the rest of the Maine that will adhere to appears within a week.
“I really hope that Maine will respect because our schools need federal funding and we cannot risk losing it,” Carlisle said. “It would really hurt our country to lose that federal funding. So, I hope our government will be able to go together.”
