Since the strike started, at least seven people have died. One has been deemed a suicide and at least one death is under investigation. Well, it's a very precarious situation.

This past weekend, 21-year-old Sadie Schreiner won the women's 400 and 200-meter dashes after several teenage female athletes withdrew in apparent protest. Schreiner, who previously competed in men's track, also set records while racing for the women's team at the Rochester Institute of Technology.

USA Track and Field has not commented on the withdrawals, but follows International Olympic Committee rules allowing male athletes in women's events. The controversy has reignited debate over fairness in women's sports.

Right. So Libby was censured last week for a Facebook post calling attention to the state policies that allow males to participate in girls' sports. Her post included images of a transgender-identifying high school boy celebrating a first-place win in girls' pole vaulting at Maine's Class B state championship, a win that helped the high school take first place overall.

It was Libby's post that sparked this whole debate about Maine reaching all the way to the White House. On Tuesday, Democrats demanded Libby remove the post and apologize, arguing that it was inappropriate for her to include images of a minor.

Libby tried to argue on the House floor that it's unfair and unsafe to permit males and girls sports, and she also said that she was merely reposting public images that were already shared online. However, Libby was repeatedly interrupted and ultimately censured.

After her censure, Libby used social media to give the speech that she wasn't allowed to give on the floor. Here's some audio of that.

Libby received a lot of support online. She's outpaced the governor in social media followers. And Maine's House Speaker, who led the censure effort, he's since completely deleted his ex-account, presumably due to backlash.

Yes, it's estimated that about 500 people showed up to that rally, which was dubbed the March Against Mills. Residents expressed a lot of support for Libby. They held up signs about protecting female sports, and they listened to speeches from numerous female athletes, Republican state lawmaker Katrina Smith, and others. One of those speakers was high school student Julia Dietrich.

She made headlines last week when she spoke out at a school board meeting about this issue.

What's particularly notable about the rally was how organically it happened. It appears the rally popped up after three residents who were angry with Mills' refusal to back down on these transgender policies, they created a Facebook event for a protest. That gained traction with thousands, and then those residents harnessed a Change.org petition initiating a recall of Governor Mills.
