"CHSAA deserves credit for doing the right thing. By reaching this agreement, they've recognized the need to protect fairness in competition and privacy in school facilities for our female athletes.

The suit argued that such mandates are invalid under the prevailing federal interpretation of Title IX as referring strictly to biological sex rather than "gender identity."
