The family of Mack Beggs has said he would rather be wrestling boys, but state policy calls for students to wrestle against the gender listed on their birth certificates
A 17-year-old transgender boy completed an undefeated season Saturday by winning a controversial Texas state girls wrestling title in an event clouded by criticism from those who believe the testosterone he's taking as he transitions from female to male created an unfair advantage.
The family of Mack Beggs has said he would rather be wrestling boys, but state policy calls for students to wrestle against the gender listed on their birth certificates. So the junior from Euless Trinity beat Chelsea Sanchez 12-2 in the 110-pound weight class to improve to 56-0 and earn the championship.
Flanked by his teammates after the team won second place in Class 6A, the largest division in Texas, Beggs broke his silence.

Yep. I got it wrong, big time.
this is different, because the “LGBT” peoples have so much power nowadays. This is different because if they tried to ban this individual from wresting, the ACLU and Lambda Legal and the gang would be out there filing lawsuits over this.
This is considered to be some “civil rights” issue by the “LGBT” peoples.
I think that’s horse blank, but, that’s how they look at it. And the governing bodies of high school sports are afraid to deal with this, due to fear of being sued and fears of not being politically correct. We live in a politically correct world, and that fact overrides much common sense decision making nowadays.
I never thought I would see the day when these freaks would be forced on the populace to either accept them or be called names.
It’s so disgusting.
That is all one needs to know. Like blacks, Chicano and homosexuals before them. Making people victims gives the Left power.
The Leftists are little more than demons. They infect the Earth and attack all things good and righteous. They are the Devil incarnate.
Ah yes. PC. The misconceived notion that it is actually possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
I doubt it.
In old, less insane times, a girl on the wrestling team taking testosterone would be cited for taking steroids and thrown off the team.
So confusing my head hurts.
Russians won many gold medals with hairy bearded women. Will they be exonerated? Will we field an all ‘girls who were boys’ team inthe next olympics?

Yet nowadays steroids are okay because the doctor says so. That’s crazy, especially when even the professionals are part of it.
I have to read these articles a couple of times to get the facts.
So what we have here is a girl taking testosterone, which in turn gives her an unfair advantage, who then wins unfairly all season.
Why has this girl not been taken away from her parents, as her parents raised her with a mental sickness and encouraged this crap.
This is just wrong on numerous levels.
One cannot transition from female to male without changing XX chromosomes to XY.
What a bizarre statement.
“Mack” should have had enough class to drop out of wrestling when it was ruled SHE could not compete with boys, which is correct b/c she is a girl on testosterone for a year, NOT a boy.
But instead she is all bulked up (for a 110 pounder) and is a winner by cheating, with no sense of shame. I saw a pic of her standing by an opponent - her legs looked like tree trunks compared to her competition, a normal girl.
One of the first things they tell women at the gym who are afraid they might get too bulky, is “It doesn’t happen like that, you don’t have the testosterone on board to get bulky.” So those who claim any girl in her division could have obtained the same results in the gym are LYING.
especially for a minor
If we want to win, we will. Maybe not the next, but certainly the one after. The Rio Olympics included several men competing on women's teams, and the percentage is certain to keep increasing.
I anticipate that "crowd favorites" such as women's skating and gymnastics will be the last holdouts: viewers want to see girls, and advertisers want to draw viewers.
Everyone else should just quit that event, find another sport — dont compete against the cheaters
Would be funny to see that girl rassle herself.
