Is it fair that high school girls have to compete against boys?: Conn. high school girls file lawsuit arguing that allowing transgender athletes to compete is sex discrimination

From Fox News:
Three female high school athletes in Connecticut, along with their families, filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday to prevent transgender athletes from competing in girls track and field meets, arguing that biologically male athletes have a physical advantage. 
Selina Soule, a senior at Glastonbury High School; Chelsea Mitchell, a senior at Canton High School; and Alanna Smith, a sophomore at Danbury High School, announced the lawsuit in a press conference on the steps of the state capitol in Hartford, the Washington Post reported.  
“Our dream is not to come in second or third place, but to win, fair and square,” Mitchell said. “All we’re asking for is a fair chance.” 
The three are arguing that competing against biologically male athletes has denied them the chance to win medals and achieve scholarship opportunities. . . .
