Girls' field hockey team forfeits match because opposing school has male student on roster

A high school girls' field hockey team has forfeited a match to avoid playing against a male student on the opposing school's squad.

Bill Runey, the superintendent of schools at Dighton-Rehoboth Regional high school in Massachusetts, revealed the coaches and captains of the team had made the decision in an effort to keep players safe.

The school implemented a policy in June 2024 which 'allows players and/or coaches to opt out of competitions... against an opposing team because that team includes members of the opposite sex.'...

According to the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association, boys are entitled to join female sporting teams if there are no male teams of the same sport to join.

the decision to forfeit was driven in part because in a game last year, "a player suffered 'significant facial and dental injuries' that 'required hospitalization' after she was hit in the face with a shot from a biological male."

“...because that team includes members of the opposite sex.”

The insane trannies won’t like that because they don’t believe they the “opposite sex.”

The viciousness of Democrats is something to behold. No girl is safe, few moderators and networks are honest.

All teams should forfeit. Then when team with the trannie wins the championship by default they can call the trophy the “Fruit Cup.”

If they can pretend that a boy is a girl, then they can pretend a 25 year old is still in high school.

Throw out all the rules.

Interestingly, this policy goes back 40+ years in some states. This isn’t a “transgender” dude pretending to be a girl. He’s a regular guy who just wants to play field hockey … and many states have laws that allow boys and girls to play on high school teams with the opposite sex it the school doesn’t have a sports team for their own sex.

Schools would probably run afoul of federal civil rights law if the DIDN’T allow this.

Good for them!!!

They believe in facts and not the twisted propaganda that you can pick your sex no matter what your chromosomes are.

If girls aren't being ASSAULTED, RAPED AND MURDERED by illegal aliens OFF the field, they are subjected to having their heads beaten in ON the field by MALES pretending to be female.

“Girls’ field hockey team forfeits match because opposing school has male student on roster”

Good, and FINALLY! Just sad that it took a girl getting her face re-arranged by a guy to FINALLY get them to stand up for their rights.

They served their purpose, so now the Gays put them in their place, which is further down the totem pole.

“All teams should forfeit.”

As long as that DOES NOT happen, women (or girls, in this case) have only THEMSELVES to blame.

My granddaughter plays on her varsity volleyball team. Yesterday they played a team with a boy. He wasn’t any bigger than any of the girls and wasn’t much of a player. I can’t figure out why a high school boy would want to be the only male on a girl’s team. He was a seemingly masculine boy.

ABOUT TIME. Some things are more important than a ball game. And what a statement it makes. If they all did this the problem would be fixed before the next season. Those fans are pissed about now for wasting their time. But they need back up, they need other teams to do the same thing.
