The court ruled in favor of USA Powerlifting, marking a setback for Cooper, who had brought a lawsuit claiming she was discriminated against by being denied entry into women's competitions due to her gender identity. The case has been remanded to a district court for further fact-finding. This decision has sparked discussions on the rights of transgender athletes to participate in sports, specifically women's sports, under the Minnesota Human Rights Act, affirming that discrimination against trans athletes is illegal.
