Many viewers of the footage have reacted with fury at the male player's presence on the field, due to the unfair physical advantage he holds after going through puberty.

In the footage, a female player from Dighton-Rehoboth passed the ball to their male teammate, who controlled it before releasing a vicious shot.

The ball immediately struck an opponent across the face, leaving her with grisly facial injuries, including losing two teeth, that sent her to the hospital. Her condition is unclear.

Shocked teammates could be seen leaning their hands on their knees and comforting each other after witnessing the grisly injury.

Despite the harrowing scenes, the male player's place on the team was defended by Swampscott Public Schools Athletic Director Kelly Wolff, who said he has 'the exact same right to participate as any player on the team.'

Wolff identified the player, who is not believed to be transgender, as a 4-year varsity player and a co-captain of the team, according to WCVB.

A female student hockey player has suffered horrific facial injuries after being struck by a shot from a male opponent.

Footage of the horror accident saw the woman collapse and scream in agony after the ball hit her face, with the male player's participation sparking backlash despite being allowed under Massachusetts law.

The incident occurred Thursday between two varsity teams at Swampscott High School and Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School, with the former coming out on top thanks to two goals scored by the male player.

In an email after the incident, Dighton-Rehoboth Superintendent Bill Runey told alarmed parents that the injury to their student 'dramatically magnifies the concerns of many about player safety.'

What needs to be done is the children/family members of charlie baker and others who approved this law need to be violently attacked in a similar manner. File it under restorative justice

That wouldn't work because it would also have to apply if there were girls on the team that were much bigger stronger that other girls, and they are out there.

That's why they should have been wearing protection regardless.
