A trans-identified male teen in New Hampshire has been allowed to play on the girls’ high school soccer team this fall after a federal judge approved an emergency order filed by the teen’s parents seeking to let their child play. 

According to NBC News, US District Court Chief Judge Landya McCafferty granted the emergency order on Monday just hours before Parker Tirrell, 15, attended the first day of soccer practice. 

The families of Tirrell and Iris Turmelle, 14, have filed a lawsuit against the state seeking to overturn the "Fairness in Women’s Sports Act" signed into law by Governor Chris Sununu in July. Tirrell sought the emergency motion as soccer season fast approached, while Turmelle’s sports season does not begin until December, the New York Post reported.

The New Hampshire law states that student-athletes must play on the sports team that aligns with the sex listed on their birth certificate. A hearing must now be set in the court for judges to decide whether to block the law in full while the lawsuit makes its way through the court system.

The lawsuit, filed on August 16, stated that each of the transgender teens "knew from an early age that she was a girl. Each has been diagnosed with gender dysphoria, a health condition characterized by distress resulting from an incongruence between one’s birth sex and gender identity. As part of their prescribed medical treatment for gender dysphoria, Parker and Iris live and interact with others as girls in every aspect of their lives; they are accepted as girls by their parents, family, schools, peers, teammates, and coaches."

"Parker and Iris are also receiving puberty-blocking medication and hormone therapy to align their bodies with their female identities and to alleviate the distress of physical characteristics that conflict with their gender identity. They will not go through testosterone-driven puberty, nor will they experience physical changes caused by testosterone, including the muscular development characteristic of males."

The lawsuit claimed that the two teens have "no physiological or biological advantage in sports," and that the law "denies them equal educational opportunities in violation of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972."
