A New York judge ruled against a university that blocked a transgender athlete from competing in a women\u2019s track meet, saying that state law banning discrimination based on gender identity supersedes President Trump\u2019s executive order on female sports.<\/p>\n

State Judge Richard McNally rejected a motion from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to dismiss the lawsuit brought by Sadie Schreiner, a transgender runner who was barred from a 2025 women\u2019s track meet hosted by the university.<\/p>\n

The institute cited Mr. Trump\u2019s Executive Order 14201, \u201cKeeping Men Out of Women\u2019s Sports,\u201d but Judge McNally called the order an \u201cinterpretive statement that details the executive branch\u2019s opinion on how Title IX should be interpreted.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cExecutive Order 14201 is not a statute, it is not a regulation, and it does not concern foreign policy,\u201d he said in his Thursday opinion. \u201cAs such, Executive Order 14201 does not preempt state law.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also dismissed the university\u2019s Title IX defense, saying the university \u201cmerely gives lip service to its argument that Title IX categorically bans all transgender women from competing in women\u2019s sports\u201d without citing specific Department of Education regulations.<\/p>\n

The judge rejected the athlete\u2019s claims of \u201cintentional infliction of emotional distress\u201d and violation of the state\u2019s public-accommodation law, but allowed the case to proceed on the claim that the university violated the New York State Human Rights Law.<\/p>\n

Schreiner sued in November after the institute rebuffed the athlete\u2019s bid to enter the women\u2019s 200-meter and 400-meter races at the Under the Lights Meet in April 2025, a competition for student-athletes from various colleges as well as unaffiliated athletes.<\/p>\n

The university cited Mr. Trump\u2019s executive order issued Feb. 5, 2025, as well as the Department of Education\u2019s stated intention to enforce the order under Title IX.<\/p>\n

Schreiner, 22, is well known on the transgender-athlete front, a men\u2019s varsity sprinter in high school who broke women\u2019s records at the Rochester Institute of Technology and won All-American honors after undergoing a gender transition as a college freshman, as reported by OutSports.<\/p>\n

Schreiner took third place in the 200-meter at the NCAA Division III national championships in 2024, but the athlete\u2019s collegiate career was cut short when the NCAA changed its rules on transgender eligibility by banning athletes \u201cassigned male at birth\u201d from competing in women\u2019s sports.<\/p>\n

Since then, Schreiner competed in events outside the NCAA\u2019s purview, winning the 400-meter race at the 2025 USA Track and Field Open Masters Championships in New York, and also sought to compete as an unattached athlete without a university affiliation.<\/p>\n

Schreiner is no stranger to the courts, suing the NCAA and the State University of New York at Geneseo after being rejected from competing as an unattached athlete at a March 2025 women\u2019s track meet.<\/p>\n

In July 2025, the athlete sued Princeton University after being dropped from a school-sponsored meet.<\/p>\n
