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.
Punished for failing to join in the mental illness.
Easy fix, Convert to Islam.

Unless you state you know there are only TWO genders.....and then you must be destroyed.
Slavery, punishing her for not doing an activity, the effect is to require her to perform against her will, what an utterly obscene lawsuit.
That anyone in law would even consider such a lawsuit is insanely evil.
I’m still amazed how silent and absent the FATHERS of these girls are who are forced to play against boys and bullied for refusing.
How about age, then? At 18, he's too old to play on a team for 14-15 year-olds.
Except those girls who have to play against a male and the girl who lost a position on the team for this weirdo.
The young woman should be given a medal because she isn’t buying-in to a WOKE/BS system that “supports” the mentally ill by pushing mental illness distortions of reality.
I hope the family sues the school system, the coach and anyone else who is perpetuating the fraud that a male who “identifies as” a female is a female.
By “supporting” mental illness and it delusional thinking you do not “help” these “nutjobs”...you only make them more mentally ill.
The school system is full of WOKE fools.
I wish the girl’s parents good luck in their lawsuits.
Bttt
She should have said she was sick, so kiss my a$$.
What are the fathers suppose to do? The boy did not attack the girl. Comment to the press? Comment to the school? Those activities would accomplish alot.
Inclusive environment?
“War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.”
Discovery should be a hoot.
“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.”
What if she had said “You’re a biological male”. Would that still be “misgendering”?
So the school district allow an adult male to play on a team made up of minor females. The members of the school district should be sued, removed from office and made to attend biology classes until they learned the differences between a male/transgender and a female.
What a bunch of democratic trash.
How about standing up to an 18-year-old playing on a team for 14-15-year-olds and against 14-15-year-olds at minimum?
And the Guy is even so bad he is on the JV team...so he must be really bad as a guy... 😀
The girl is charged with bullying and harassment for “misgendering” a male who identifies as a female? We are living in Orwell’s 1984.
I knew from the start of this gender crap that eventually there would be what I call the
Sodom and Gomora Inhospitality Law
Where to refuse any sexual perversion will be deemed a crime of hate and Inhospitality.
Some churches are already pushing the teaching that the only sin in Sodom and Gomora was homophobic inhospitality
( Inhospitality, for refusing to let them in to have sex with the messages ).
And here we are.
To refuse participation in sexual and or perverse acts of any sort, or any action demanded , will be charged as a hate crime.
