girls-wrestling-tournament.html
In what might be the most controversial high school wrestling victory
ever, a transgender boy completed an undefeated season Saturday by winning
a Texas state girls’ wrestling title.
Mack Beggs, 17, was born female but has been undergoing a testosterone
treatment for more than a year and currently has the muscle mass of a
similarly-aged male, The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported. Though Beggs,
a junior at Euless Trinity High School, would prefer wrestling boys, state
policy dictates that athletes must compete as the gender listed on their
birth certificate. The result: A 56-0 season and 110-pound weight class
title.
“The overwhelming sentiment here is that Mack should be allowed to
wrestle, but should be required to compete against the boys,” said
attorney Jim Baudhuin, who filed a lawsuit to ban Beggs from the girls
division next season. Baudhuin is the parent of a wrestler at another
school, The Associated Press reported.
Beggs’ parents said their child has identified as a boy since age 3, The
Star-Telegram reported, and transgender experts who spoke to the paper
said the rule requiring Beggs to wrestle girls is wrong.
“Wanting him to compete with girls is going against best practices and
guidelines that are already established by organizations like the NCAA,”
said Dr. Robert Garofalo, of Chicago’s Lurie Children’s Hospital.
Despite criticism of the policy, University Interscholastic League
executives don't envision a change.
“Ninety-five percent of the school superintendents in Texas voted for the
rule as it was proposed, which was to use birth certificates,” UIL deputy
director Jamey Harrison said. “So any rule can be reconsidered, but…given
the overwhelming support for that rule, I don't expect it to change
anytime soon.”
Beggs, who beat Chelsea Sanchez, 12-2, to win the state title, avoided
talking about the transgender topic and instead tried to shine a light on
the teammates who were also competing.
“I wouldn't be here today if it weren't for my teammates,” Beggs said.
“That's honestly what the spotlight should have been on is my teammates.
The hard work that I put in in the practice room with them, beside me — we
trained hard every, single day. Every, single day and that's where the
spotlight should have been on. Not me. All of these guys. Because I would
not be here without them.”

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party has run out of gas.
Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for ending the disaster of the
Obama presidency.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.
ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.
Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.
Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
