Dem lawmaker responds to allegations staffer crumpled, threw out girls' letters lobbying for trans athlete ban

Maine high schooler Cassidy Carlisle opened up to Fox News Digital about her experience dealing with trans people in the state's public schools and sports, as she is now taking an active hand in fighting against it.

Nevada women and families rallied at the state capital building in Carson City on Tuesday to lobby lawmakers to pass a resolution that would keep trans athletes out of girls' sports.

Currently, two bills have been proposed to the state legislature to address the issue, but the Democrat majority has not indicated it will allow a hearing on the bills.

Thank you for reading my letter!"
