Pretty stupid law but you are correctQuick search shows this has been law for decades. Nothing to do with trans
As I understand it if your school doesn't have X team for boys but does have X team for girls a boy can play on that team. Actually I think it's the same for a girl on a boys team.That does not appear to be a transgender girl playing on the girls team - just a dude.
Guessing there’s something else at play here.
hopefully that rule/law is just for the smaller classifications or with some carefully phrased wording. Otherwise it seems like a great rule to exploit.As I understand it if your school doesn't have X team for boys but does have X team for girls a boy can play on that team.

I'm pretty sure there's already been some forfeitures over the issue and the fairly recent Title IX Connecticut track case being allowed to go forward* may impact that in the future.
*The CT case involved trans runners as opposed to this case simply being boys allowed on girls teams.
At first glance that would seem to be the case as it appears to be limited to schools that don't support X sport for both genders. Even still it does seem like one could really put the thumb on the scale as it were if that's where you wanted to go.hopefully that rule/law is just for the smaller classifications or with some carefully phrased wording.

I hate to sound like I'm picking on this boy, but WTH? Why would a boy or young man want to play on a girl's team? Now I fully understand wanting to get in the locker room with them or the showers. Spent most of my time after the age of twelve thinking about how to manage that, but...As I understand it if your school doesn't have X team for boys but does have X team for girls a boy can play on that team.

I wrestled against a girl in Tennessee while in the 2nd grade, in a fully sanctioned team meet. she just wanted to wrestle, and at least at the time there was no female wrestling in the state at that weight class. there were others who wrestled in other weight classes to against the boys.I hate to sound like I'm picking on this boy, but WTH?

True story. Friend of mine's dad was reading our local weekly paper when he folded it up, passed to my friend and said don't ever do something like this: it was a picture of some guy winning the Betty Crocker bakeoff in town.

he probably doesn't want to play "on a girl's team", he just wants to play. heck could have been recruited to play for the team.
yeah, she beat my butt that first year. I don't remember the score, I just remember scrambling to keep from getting pinned and it was a bad loss. wrestled against her the next two years and won, and all she cared about was a fair match.In 2nd grade she was probably just as big and strong as you, plus neither of you knew what you were grabbing.
I would have wrestled with any of the girls in my class after the sixth grade. Would have been more than happy to be "pinned" by them. Some non-adverserial matches were held down country roads, but as Seger said, "we were just young, restless and bored."yeah, she beat my butt that first year.

Nothing but respect for any young lady with the moxie to take a run at the boys on their own field.I wrestled against a girl in Tennessee while in the 2nd grade, in a fully sanctioned team meet. she just wanted to wrestle, and at least at the time there was no female wrestling in the state at that weight class. there were others who wrestled in other weight classes to against the boys.

I get different times and all, but that's pretty sad. Many men are phenomenal chefs and bakers. Not the first thing wrong with it.True story.

Disagree with it being sad; it might be for you and that is understandable. I am fully aware many of the best in the field are men. It wasn’t sad for us: still isn’t. It was and remains an amusing sidebar from being a teenager in rural Georgia.I get different times and all, but that's pretty sad. Many men are phenomenal chefs and bakers.
