Maine Democrats have responded to Rep. Laurel Libby's appeal to the US Supreme Court in her lawsuit to overturn her censure for a social media post that identified a minor trans athlete. The response argues that Libby's actions were inconsistent with Maine's public law and violated the rights of a transgender student. Democrats are urging the court to uphold the censure, which was issued after Libby made the comments on Twitter in 2020. The decision is seen as a test case for transgender rights in the US.
