A Vermont religious school that withdrew its girls’ basketball team from a playoff game because a biological male who identifies as a transgender student was on the roster of the opposing team is now banned from future tournaments.
The Vermont Principals’ Association announced Monday that Mid Vermont Christian School’s decision to forfeit its Feb. 21 game because it believed a trans player “jeopardizes the fairness of the game and the safety of our players” makes it “ineligible” to play in any of its tournaments — for any sport — going forward.
The VPA is the governing body for Vermont school sports and activities for member schools.’
“The VPA again reiterates its ongoing support of transgender student-athletes as not only a part of building an inclusive community for each student to grow and thrive, but also as a clear expectation by Vermont state law(s) in the Agency of Education Best Practices, and in VPA Policy regarding transgender student athletes,” the governing body said in a statement.
MVCS never gave the VPA a reason for pulling out of the game, but the rationale was posted four days later by a New Hampshire outlet, Valley News.
“We believe playing against an opponent with a biological male jeopardizes the fairness of the game and the safety of our players,” MVCS head of school Vicky Fogg wrote to the outlet, the Bennington Banner reported. “Allowing biological males to participate in women’s sports sets a bad precedent for the future of women’s sports in general.”

And no other team is going to support them? Sick twisted perverted disgusting....end times indeed.
move to a different conference
Those that cancel our kids should be canceled.
It's been done before.
BTW, do you know any good white basketball players?
In Women’s Tennis I always root against the heterosexual.
I am old and slightly chubby and male today and that is subject to change. LOL
I think I will try out for the Dallas Cowboys cheerleading team.
1. They cannot ban by age as that is ageism.
2. They cannot ban by sex because I identify as female.
3. They cannot ban me because I was white because I now identify as black.
THEY CAN NOT BAN ME! I do look forward to showering with those girls! I am sure they will not mind despite my “hanging down and minuscuele boobs” I am a women by declaration and it is so.
/Sarcasm We must stop this insanity of transgenderism.
Somebody should just start “xx” teams and “xy” teams.
That is how it used to be in my area. It used to be that the religious schools did not play the public ones.
Forget gender, there should be separate leagues for players with penises and without penises.

So in order for normal, heterosexual students to compete in any sports, they have to agree with the policies that allow, condone and encourage student to engage in abnormal, non-heterosexual activities, which includes sharing bathrooms, showers and locker rooms.
In most places, it’s still illegal for a male to peep on females or expose genitalia to females . . . unless, of course, the males “says” he’s a female . . .
They should get a trophy. Time to end this bullsh!t.
Start.
Your.
Own.
Competitive.
League.
It’s not rocket science.

“and have them wear wigs”
Don’t even need to bother with wigs at this point. Nobody can define what a woman is, so they certainly don’t need to conform to some “gender stereotype” hairstyle.
“We may occasionally get forced to call a he “she” just to avoid a scene”
I have not, and I will not. I will either say nothing, or I will revel in any “scene” that ensues.
North Koreans will have more freedom of thought & action than many Americans in the next several years.

Just say his name.
The misogyny is stunningly brutal.
