Texas transgender wrestler back to defend state title

Mack Beggs is back. He's still wrestling, still competing for a state championship and still undefeated. And he's still wrestling against the girls. It's just been a lot quieter since last year when his march to a state championship was dogged by a last-minute lawsuit that tried to stop him and boos from the crowd when his hand was raised as the victor. The senior from Euless Trinity High School near Dallas is transgender and in the process of transitioning from female to male. It was his steroid therapy treatments while wrestling girls that stirred a fierce debate about competitive fairness and transgender rights last season. He's still taking steroids, which his mother said are just strong enough to create a wisp of facial hair and stop the menstrual cycle but not build muscle.

Undefeated. Imagine that. Sure, it's not due to steroids. Can't believe the UIL is still pandering to this.

I am now on the side of the trannies.

Let guys continue to compete in womyn’s sports as far as I am concerned.

Let Title IX come crashing down on its own petard.

It will be worth it to see feminazis not know whether to crap or go blind.

She should be in jail for child abuse for encouraging and facilitating this, and she should be damned ashamed of rationalizing it.

Champion is not an easy title to get, unless it is.

Why don’t we see girls winning state boys titles?

Disgusting and disturbing. And the article says the family could request a waiver that allows him to wrestle boys, but there has been no request. Chickensh!t.

This is about a biological female taking testosterone and steroids to become masculine.

From female to male. Wondering how they do that.

Does this hybrid get to compete as a male, or as a female? It matters. After all, there are two teams: male and female. The two teams exist because it would not be “fair” to have a male on the female team (implied truth, that no one dares say: males are on average much stronger than females.)

That’s so binary!

But I thought that “gender” was a spectrum, with an infinite number of variations! That it was possible to “transition” from one to another with no problem!

I hope there are more of these “transitioning” things playing for the wrong team, and winning. They are only taking advantage of the current mania.

In this case, wouldn’t it be a “chopadicophomy”?

Sorry — I had my directions wrong; I had thought “it” was going the other way.

I remember this. All valid points already made.

One more: why is it when you "transition from male to female" you get to compete against females, but when you "transition from female to male" you get to compete against females. Seems like a bit of confusion (you know, just a little, tiny bit).

Leaving the gender issue aside, why should ANYONE get to compete while taking performance-enhancing drugs?

Well, she can take all the steroids she wants. She can have all the parts attached she wants. She can grow all the hair she wants. But!!!!

She can't change the 'X' chromosome to a 'Y' chromosome.

She can't change the hip 'Q' angle.

She can't change the shoulder width.

And, she can't make the new 'junk' work like God-given 'junk'.
