During the meeting of the state championship, Katie Spencer, who competed as a man named John Rydzewski in the pole-high as recently as June 2024, surpassed any other woman by half foot. Spencer’s winning pole jumping was essential to help Spencer athletics team in Grelyly High School in Cumberland, Maine, win the meeting of the state class B state championship by a single point.
Following the news of what happened, Trump announced that Maine would lose public funds until they “clean it.”
The Republican state representative of Maine, Laurel Libby, began to sound the alarm after Spencer won the state -female post -female jump championship on Monday.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, he reiterated Zoe’s concern that without some kind of federal intervention, nothing was going to change.
Several years ago, the State modified its State Human Rights Law to include protections for gender identity, and since the Democrats control the cameras of the Legislature and the Governor’s Office, Libby said that there is “0% of possibilities “They revoked him.
After Trump’s executive order of February 5, threatening to put an end to public funds to schools that do not keep men outside women’s sports, the Association of Directors of Maine, the main governing body for athletics From high school in the State, he said that the president’s order conflicts with law aimed at protecting human rights. As a result, the association said will postpone to the latter When it comes to determining athletic eligibility.
Sarah Perry, a civil rights lawyer who has extensive experience in litigation of Title IX problems, said that, in addition to Trump’s executive order, the association is also breaching the directives of the directives of the Department of Education and previously established precedent of a series of cases that challenged President Joe Biden Title IX Regulations allowing athletic eligibility determined by the preferred gender identity of one. Perry said that, in addition to the obvious risk of losing funds, these states also open to federal investigations of Title IX, something she said could force them to meet Trump’s demands.
Fox News Digital communicated with the comments association of the directors of Maine, but did not receive an answer for publication time.

“It is absolutely representable that people in a position of being able to allow this against the children trying to compete,” Libby said. “There will be no compliance from the state level, that is absolutely clear. Therefore, the only application mechanism we have is that the administration intervenes.”
Libby said that after publishing on the title of the Spencer State Championship in social networks, a young competitor at the meeting commented that she and her teammates did not even know that they would compete against a biological man until they arrived at the championship meeting state on Monday. “It was very discouraging to discover it, because I immediately know the result,” Libby told Fox News Digital.
Libby also pointed out that it was illustrative of a major problem In Maine When it comes to protecting Women’s rights In athletics.
“This is not a stage for the first time here,” he said. “There is another boy who has been directing the countryside through the country of girls during several autumn seasons. He was a mediocre athlete when he was a boy, but as a girl is doing extremely well. This is increasing in Maine. And unless Something is done at the federal level, I think we are going to see more and more. ”
Due to the victory, Spencer has now automatically classified for multi -state regional championships, taking the place that would have been awarded to the female athlete who obtained second place if Spencer competes in the children’s division.

“It will be better for him to do it because he will not obtain federal funds,” Trump told Mills, to which she replied: “We will follow the law, Lord. We will see it in court.”
“Enjoy your life after the governor, because I don’t think you are an elected official later,” Trump replied.
