When will this happen in college? Imagine a "good" HS boys player going to WBB?

Link to team pic, are there two boys?

The Mid Vermont Christian School girls basketball team withdrew from the Vermont Division IV state tournament because of a refusal to play against an opponent with a transgender student-athlete.

The No. 12 seed Eagles were scheduled to play a first-round game at No. 5 seed Long Trail on Tuesday night, but their withdrawal forfeited the game to the Mountain Lions.

“We believe playing against an opponent with a biological male jeopardizes the fairness of the game and the safety of our players,” MVCS head of school Vicky Fogg wrote in an email to the Valley News on Wednesday evening. “Allowing biological males to participate in women’s sports sets a bad precedent for the future of women’s sports in general.”

Fogg declined a request for an interview.

Good for them. They stuck to their beliefs and told the other school to go frick itself. I like it.

Absolutely.

If this happened more often and all the teams withdrew and made a mockery of the whole thing it would put a stop to it

Serious question…..




What happens if Lebron James wakes up tomorrow and says that he now identifies as a female. Is the WNBA gonna let him play? How would that work?

Transgender dysphoria is a mental illness.

Good for them. They are standing up for what they believe in. Also, if you don't like the way something is, it's your choice not to participate.

If more people/schools did this, maybe things would change. Just unreal that this is where it has gotten.

Of course they would let him play, and the game would probably have more viewers than every WNBA in history combined. He'd also score something like 235 points.
