“I give them the birth certificate, and they’re like, ‘Did you know this says female?’” Jackson said. “I was like, ‘Oh, man, that’s so funny.’ So, we come home. Everyone’s laughing.” Over the years, the fact that Laker’s birth certificate mistakenly listed him as female hasn’t caused many issues – until he decided to try out for the boys basketball team.
Kind of dumb that the parents didn’t get it fixed back when he was born. But I think the school district requiring the expensive is just as dumb.

Dumb all around

Parents screwed this kid up naming him Laker. Then doubled down by not having an obvious clerical error fixed right away because "it's so funny". Obviously, your kid doesn't share the same humor.

Also:

Laker just wants to play basketball.

he has been told he has to play on either the coed or girls basketball team.

Looks like if he "just wants to play", he has options.

but he would never be allowed - the other HS teams would bitch and moan because he made the female team, and they would either not allow him to play at all, or the other teams would likely forfeit - which the district would not want either.

plain and simple, the parents fricked this poor kid over by not correcting what should have been done long ago.

Interesting. Most states do not forbid girls from playing on boys' teams, only vice versa.

Arizona allows trannies to change gender markers on birth certificates.

Doesn’t even have to lop a penis or have an addadicktome.

I think boys should play on boys teams and girls on girls based on what sex you were assigned at birth and not what sex you decided to identify as at a later date.


I don’t think we are “assigned” a sex at birth. Assigning what words reflect each sex was done a long time ago when developing languages. It also is decided for each person before birth.

quote:

But if it truly was a clerical error then it’s really tough luck for the kids family to have to pay all that money to do chromosomal testing.


I don’t understand why this wasn’t corrected after receiving birth certificate. The kid is a teenager and in 8th grade, and this has never come up before?

quote:

His mother, Becky Jackson, says there was a mix-up at the hospital the day he was born.


The doctor or hospital should be forced to pay for testing, but this family also waited for 14 years to deal with it which brings up some questions as well as making costs to correct more their responsibility this far removed.

It makes me wonder if there was some ambiguity with external sex organ at birth, and the parents either didn’t know how to fix it or were just lazy.

They probably want to get that fixed anyway if the dude plans on getting a drivers license.

You aren't assigned a sex. You ARE a sex, and the doctor recognizes what sex you are and notes it on the birth certificate.

Just to clarify.

These kind of laws are so ridiculous. Sex at birth should only be changed due to malpractice by an incompetent doctor getting the sex completely wrong or an incompetent hospital completely freaking up the documentation. In these instances the sex/gender of the person isn’t actually being changed but are just fixing the incompetence. They should also be done quickly after birth certificate issued at full cost to the doctor and hospital.

Since Arizona appears to allow trans to change their birth certificates well after the fact how a clerical correction is distinguished from a trans change might be playing into this.

Waiting 14 years to handle situation is also probably increasing the confusion of the situation.

I wouldn’t doubt if some supporter of males in female sports is also behind making this situation more difficult to fix than it should be.

I disagree. Men/boys need their spaces and sports, too.


I agree.

Men/boys are instinctively not going to play or compete as hard with females than without. A male basketball team isn't going to win as many games with a girl on the team against an all male team.



Don't always agree, when going against especially. We played a high school a bunch of times in soccer that had a girl on their team for a couple years and she got fricking destroyed We were just as physical with her as with others, not overly, but the same level of physicality. It did come off looking worse because she'd fall hard and it did draw some bullshite cards that wouldn't have been pulled otherwise. I'll never forget her trying to hip check me and I gave it right back and she went flying to the ground. She started it and we were there to win the game

She was tough though, and never bitched, I'll give her that. Also her team beat ours a couple of times :embarrassed emoji:

There's an easy fix here.

Call their bluff and make the girls team. Then let the outage force the administration's hand.

bullshite, Mingo.

How THIS happened was- if you take the story as fact- this happened in combination of lazy staff and lazier parents.

That isn't on me.

The fact that genetic testing may be warranted is due to Arizona letting transgender individuals change their gender marker on their Birth Certificates- rendering the validity of such a document fricking null.

God bless her, then... there are definitely some girls out there ready to rumble with anyone willing to take them on. I was not one of those but did admire the few flat out tom boys I knew- they were fearless!

Arizona says players must play on the team that represents their sex on their birth certificate at time of issue.

Arizona also says boys can claim to be girls on amended Birth Certificates.

Absolutely none of this would be a problem if this kid's parents fixed his BC immediately and if the whole of society didn't go down the rainbow brick road of sexual degeneracy.
