A high school basketball player in Washington state has been accused of bullying, harassment after she allegedly “misgendered” a male opponent who pretends to be a female.
The controversy began when an 18 year old biological male was allowed to play on a junior varsity team in the Tumwater School District, alongside 14 and 15-year-old female athletes.
15-year-old Frances Staudt noticed the obviously male athlete on the opposing team during her warm up for the final game of the season and asked the school’s athletic director whether the player was a male, but was told that, in accordance with Washington state law, the school will not discriminate based on sexual identity.
Staudt then notified her coach that she was unwilling to play against a biological male opponent.
According to Staudt’s mother Aimee, Frances was so frustrated that, following the game, her daughter walked by the male player and told him, “You’re a man” prompting the school district to investigate Frances for ‘misgendering’ her opponent.
Aimee Staudt told Fox News that the school district could have avoided the situation, saying, “They knew, admittedly, that there was going to be this situation, and they had a meeting, the principal, the superintendent, and the athletic director to discuss the fact that this was a potential situation that was coming up.”
Aimee maintains that little controversy would have resulted if families had been notified of the situation beforehand, and players had been given the option to sit out the game.
Staudt said, “But they didn’t do that. They put the kids on the spot, and my daughter was the one that actually stood up in this situation, and… she was exposed… It was awful the way they handled it.”
The New York Post reports that the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) policy states that each athlete will participate in programs “consistent with their gender identity or the gender most consistently expressed,” and there are not even any medical or legal requirements.
Washington is one of a handful of Democrat-run states that have pushed back against President Trump’s executive order banning biological males from competing in women’s sports.
The school district released a statement last week stating, “As a district, we remain committed to fostering an inclusive environment where all students feel safe, supported, and valued.”
According to her mother, Frances received a letter late last week, stating that she had violated WIAA policy and that she could face further discipline if there are any further incidents.
Inhospitality, for refusing to let them in to have sex with the messageRs ).
Call him an XY.
Gen 19:5 - And they called to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may know them carnally.
It seems some blue states can’t figure out the difference between men and women yet want the rest of the country to follow their lead.
“According to her mother, Frances received a letter late last week, stating that she had violated WIAA policy...”
Back in the day, the author of the letter wouldn’t be typing anymore with their gnarled, disfigured fingers.
“Accept our insane world view or we will destroy you!”
 Don't worry. He identifies as a 14 year old. ;~((.
Sounds like the Federal government needs to step in and prosecute this title IX violation.
 Everyone involved in allowing men to play women's sports needs a federal indictment.
Play. Kick “her” in the nuts. Get ejected from the game.
EC
“sexual identity”...they actually think it’s a choice.
Maybe they should think about why aren’t there any NFL “trans men” players.
An adult male with an exhibitionist fetish.
better to simply move to a free state ...
File a civil rights complain over coercion to play sports in a way not desired.
 This is from the school district, therefore they are lying. They knew this was false when they published it.
“The girl is charged with bullying and harassment”
Wait a minute! Just who is the bully here?
Good for her! We have a fighter amongst us! Thank you God!
A blessing from God among almost two team-fuls of losers.
Pansy coaches and parents and school system admins.
But unlike the single aethiest that stops prayer in schools, this one fights for the good of all.
ALL just REFUSE to play! STAND UP for yourselves and this BS will stop.
Yes, it's on its way. The British comedian Dave Allen warned us about it many years ago:
Isn’t it premeditated assault by the coach for delaying announcement of the male interloper on the girl’s team? Every time the lad bumped into any other player, he was assaulting someone of the opposite gender. Would love to see a group of fathers press charges if their daughters were assaulted in the game.
