Two New Hampshire students have withdrawn their lawsuit challenging the state law banning transgender girls from playing on girls' sports teams.


Attorneys said the teenagers and their parents voluntarily withdrew the lawsuit after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling upholding similar laws in other states.


New Hampshire's law was passed in 2024. It requires student-athletes to play on the teams that match the sex listed on the birth certificate issued at or near their time of birth.
