Cooper sued, arguing that the exclusion amounted to discrimination under Minnesota law. USA Powerlifting maintained that its policy was based on what it described as &#8220;strength advantages&#8221; related to sex assigned at birth, not transgender status.<\/p>\n<p>In October 2025, the Minnesota Supreme Court ruled that USA Powerlifting&#8217;s policy of categorically excluding transgender women from the women&#8217;s division constituted discrimination in public accommodations. The court noted that, at the time of its decision, USA Powerlifting did not have a formal written policy but did exclude transgender women from competition.<\/p>\n<p>The court also sent a separate business discrimination claim back to a lower court for further proceedings, instructing that USA Powerlifting would need to demonstrate that its policy was reasonably necessary for its business mission and not based on stereotypes.<\/p>\n<p>The finalized settlement marks a significant development in the ongoing debate over transgender athletes&#8217; participation in sports and the enforcement of anti-discrimination laws in Minnesota.<\/p>\n<p>The exact details surrounding the settlement were not immediately available.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<p
