In 2021, the Florida legislature passed, and Governor Ron DeSantis signed, the Fairness in Women's Sports Act, which prohibits biological males from participating in women's sports in Florida schools or clubs, and assesses civil fines for any school in the state, at any level, that violate the prohibition. The law was celebrated by many seeking to protect women's and girls' spaces in athletics.
Apparently, however, one high school in Florida decided to test that law. And they just found out it has exactly the teeth that the legislature and DeSantis promised it did.

The news of a boy playing on the girls' volleyball team at Monarch High School in Broward County broke in late November. A number of staff at the school, including the principal, athletic director, and coach were suspended or reassigned pending the investigation. On Tuesday, the Florida High School Athletic Association announced the penalties for the school.
The Florida High School Athletic Association fined Monarch High $16,500, ordered the principal and athletic director to attend rules seminars and placed the suburban Fort Lauderdale school on probation for 11 months, meaning further violations could lead to increased punishments.
The association also barred the girl from participating in boys sports for 11 months.
Note: we must correct the New York Post on a factual error in its reporting. The FHSAA did not suspend any 'girls' in its decision. This was a case of a boy who was playing on the girls' team. HE was suspended for 11 months. Afterward, HE is free to compete in any other boys' sports at the school.
'Thanks to the leadership of Governor Ron DeSantis, Florida passed legislation to protect girls’ sports and we will not tolerate any school that violates this law,' Education Commissioner Manny Diaz said in a statement. 'We applaud the swift action taken by the Florida High School Athletic Association to ensure there are serious consequences for this illegal behavior.'

The boy's mother, who placed her son on puberty blockers at AGE 11, was outraged at the decision calling it a 'direct attempt to endanger' her son. Which is weird, since it seems like she is the one who was endangering him with irreversible medications, not to mention endangering the girls he was playing against.
Play on the boys' team. There. Problem solved.

True. And the boy is free to do exactly after a year's probation for violating the law.
Why is a boy playing on the girls team?
— sillyName (@coolBot12345678) December 13, 2023
Why? Because he has a mother who suffers from Munchausen by Proxy, that's why.
That's great news

While LGBTQ+ groups protested the FHSAA decision, many were quick to thank Governor DeSantis for protecting girls and girls' sports.
Kudos to Gov. DeSantis, Florida Legislators & the FL High School Athletic Association for hammering Monarch High School in Broward County. They let a boy pretending to be a girl play on the girls’ volleyball team. $16,500. in fines, 2 yrs mandatory training probation & more. pic.twitter.com/FzSe4uAQAE

While others talk, DeSantis ACTS to protect girls sports!!

Need to see more of this. Girls should still have a safe and fair place to play. That's not asking too much

It doesn't really seem that complicated, does it?
This idea is gaining momentum, though. Many states, including Idaho, Arkansas, Texas, Tennessee, and Montana have passed similar legislation, with bills also pending in approximately two dozen other states.
Good for them.

Are you ppssibly referring to the boy breaking a girl’s teeth in field hockey match?
The boys that wish to be girls should be fixed using a White’s emasculator with minimal anesthesia to show their dedication and intent.
The principal and athletic director should have to pay this out of their own pockets. I didn't see, but is Monarch High a public school?
Yep. Thanks for correcting me. Did you just remember that, or did you have to look it up?
Of course its in Broward County where this crap happened.
Both 😏
IT’s too bad that the Florida law didn’t include as punishment flogging the school administrators, athletic director, and coach.
That would have quickly ended such woketardian perversion of high school sports in Florida.
Well, I thought I was referring to the Field Hockey injury, but a girl volleyball player was injured by a fake female athlete:

Ah, multiple incidents.....who coulda saw that coming? 😏
I expect the same in the reverse.
A Middle School football team where I am now has a girl quarterback.
I figure it’s only a matter of time until she gets smashed.....and WHEN it happens I don’t wanna hear one word about full contact football being too violent for kids.
In Maryland almost 10 years ago they had a middle or HS girl kicker. On a kickoff she got hit hard & ended up with a broken leg. Get this her parents sued to get her on the team then sued again when she got hurt!
You have touched on exactly why there seems to be so much utter stupidity these days - the consequences for indulging in stupidities are insufficient to teach a lesson. Real and substantial financial or physical punishments administered quickly would improve things vastly.
Take vote tampering or other such activities, what if everybody associated with ballot box stuffing knew that if they are caught they would go to jail for a couple decades with no opportunity for parole *and* every one of their assets (retirement, bank accounts, home(s), autos, etc) would be seized effectively throwing their families out on to the street penniless. There would always be some ‘true believers’ willing to take one for the ‘D’ team but your average poll worker would not.
Make this the consequence; once the political minion is convicted of doing, aiding and abetting election fraud the gaining politician is automatically charged with the same offense.
Much as I approve such punishment, it would probably be overturned as "cruel and unusual".
Cruel is arguable, but if every violator gets it, it isn't unusual.
The bitch and the DOCTOR who prescribed the drugs should be in jail.
And...WHERE IS THE FATHER?????
I believe it.
Whoops, I posted this in the wrong discussion thr3ad!
The principal and the athletic director should be fined, jailed and fired for BREAKING THE LAW.
The boy’s mother should be put in an institution’s padded room section, for life!
I remember when fining sports team who cheated was not considered controversial.
Where is the father?
He might be found competing at the Drag Queen’s Ball!
