Birth Certificate Keeps Transgender Student Off Volleyball Court
KOAT ^ | Jul 16, 2015

Certificate can only be altered after reassignment surgery in NM

Like many teenage girls, Alex Trujillo likes makeup, has teen idols and stays active.

Yet, she can't play on the girl's volleyball team at Laguna-Acoma High School. School officials say that's because Trujillo was born a male.

Her mother said she saw it at a young age, about 3 or 4. Trujillo began dressing as a girl in tenth grade. She said it was scary, but she stuck with it, because she finally felt free.

But she isn't free to play the sport she has a passion for.

The gender on student's birth certificate dictates which team he or she will play for, according to the New Mexico Athletic Association. In New Mexico, someone can amend their birth certificate but only after reassignment surgery.

Transgender advocates say that's unfair because not everyone opts to have that surgery.

The state's Department of Health and NMAA both say there are no plans to change the rules.

Wow. A school with common sense.

The way it’s going now every women’s sport and women’s job will be staffed by men.

Surgery does not change your gender. This dude could have the surgery, or not and he will still be a XY chromosome not a XX.

So why can’t he play volleyball on the men’s team? Or in a mixed league where he can bat for both sides

How old is he? Either they have him on hormones or his beard hasn't even come in yet.

He looks like an obese 11 year old.

I’m sitting here just following this train wreck which is the destruction of just about everything about our lives. How does this transgender rights thing work? Any guy can dress like a girl and hang out in the girl’s locker room? Is anyone thinking anymore?

Oh the irony of feminism and feminizing men, men become women and take their jobs!

Oh, what a crying shame, to go to a school where common sense is the rule rather than PC insanity...........

Sorry, men are physically superior than women especially the top 1%. That’s why there are no women in the NBA, etc.

Put transgenders in women athletics and that’s the end of women’s athletics.

That's basically what the East Germans did.

If we follow the gendernazi’s logic: Bruce, er Caitlyn, Jenner is now the world record holder for the women’s 400 meter dash.

400 47.60 Marita Koch 10/06/85

400 47.51 ? Jenner 7/29/76

Would be interesting to see the media address this...

Shouldn’t he have to give up his gold medal? Other Olympians who were competing as the wrong sex forfeited? If he says he was always a woman, then he had no right to compete as a man.
