Transgender wrestler booed in Texas final MACK Beggs just bagged the Texas girls’ Class 6A 110-pound (49kg) division wrestling competition for the second time. But as the 18-year-old rolled out of a possible pinfall to avoid defeat and win the prestigious title, the reaction from the crowd was hostile. Footage from the scene shows boos ringing out shortly after the final whistle blows. This is because the undefeated wrestler has been dogged by controversy ever since he began transitioning from female to male and taking a low-dose of testosterone. LINK |

It should wrestle in the transgender division, besides taking PED's should have disqualified it from the beginning. |

No, he should of been competing with the boys as was his desire. Blame it on the states Athletic Assoc, were the rules say students must compete in accordance with their birth certificates. He has already got an offer to compete with the men at the collegiate level. |

First of all the divide on transgender issues is not a left or right thing as much as it is a generational thing. On the topic at hand the point is; we have a wrestler born as a female transitioning to male who wanted to compete against other males and yet the governing board that rules over HS sports in Texas has a rule that restricts the wrestler from competing as a male. Texas is one of only four states that who's policies would not allow it. I also know there are some that take opposition to the fact that this student is on Testosterone, and should not be allowed to compete at all even against males. I say if anyone believes someone born female taking testosterone is going to put them at an unfair advantage over males is frankly an idiot. |

A complicated problem for everyone involved. The kid has a right to compete and wanted to compete against the boys, so you can’t fault him for that. The sporting authority rules are in place to prevent boys from declaring they identify as girls to get an unfair advantage in segregated sports. So you really can’t fault the intention of the State to avoid that. All parties are trying to do the right thing from their point of view. Maybe the solution is a case by case independent review board that considers extraordinary circumstances of cases like this one? Put a time limit on their decision and each case has to stand on its own merits. Edited by CautionaryTales, Feb 28 2018, 08:05 AM.

There should be a separate category for transgenders to compete with each other...............

Blame it on the states Athletic Assoc Exactly. I don't think booing a kid at some high school sporting event for a situation pretty much out of his control is very helpful. |

It really does not have to be that complicated. It would be best for all states to adapt the policy set forth by the NCAA. Thus far the only state that has is Idaho. The Idaho High School Activities Association (IHSAA) policy allows for participation with the following conditions: A. A female-to-male transgender student athlete who is taking a medically prescribed hormone treatment under a physicians care for the purposes of gender transition may participate only on a boys team. B. A male-to-female transgender student athlete is not taking hormone treatment related to gender transition may participate only on a boys team. C. A male-to-female transgender student athlete who is taking medically prescribed hormone treatment under a physicians care for the purposes of gender transition may participate on a boys team at any time, but must complete one year of hormone treatment related to the gender transition before competing on a girls team. https://www.transathlete.com/k-12 |

Of course it is never mentioned that Fallon Fox did lose a match to a cis-gender women, and her other matches were competitive with no display of a "clear" advantage. However the topic on hand is about a wrestler born female transitioning to male that was forced by the state to compete as a female. |
