Chloie Jonsson, a personal trainer and CrossFit athlete living in Los Gatos, Calif., filed a $2.5 million lawsuit against CrossFit for violating her civil rights, TMZ reports. Jonsson alleges she was denied the chance to participate in the womens division, despite the fact that she had gender confirmation surgery in 2006 and is legally recognized as a woman by the state of California. The company reportedly said she cannot compete because she was born a male. Our decision has nothing to do with ignorance or being bigots -- it has to do with a very real understanding of the human genome, of fundamental biology, that you are either intentionally ignoring or missed in high school, read the letter CrossFit allegedly sent Jonsson, according to TMZ. Jonssons lawyer, Waukeen McCoy, called CrossFits response horrifying.
