The coach for a high school women’s basketball team in Massachusetts had to forfeit earlier this month because his female players kept getting injured by a biological male pretending to be a female.
This 6-foot tall transgender pretender is allowed to play for KIPP Academy, but after three of the girls playing for Collegiate Charter School of Lowell got hurt, the coach called the game off.
According to the official statement from the school, the girls feared getting injured and not being able to compete in the playoffs:
While I’m sure there was some calculus for the playoffs, I suspect the girls feared getting injured period.
Below is a video of one of the girls getting injured:

A man hitting a woman used to be called domestic abuse. Now it's called brave.

This is outrageous. It’s bad enough that a male can be allowed to compete against females and dominate. That’s totally unfair. But when he begins injuring opposing females, it’s time to call the whole thing off. KIPP should be disqualified from the sport entirely for allowing this to happen.
According to Fox News, KIPP didn’t have to allow him to play:
The Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) handbook states in Section 43.3.1 that “a student shall not be excluded from participation on a gender-specific sports team that is consistent with the student’s bona fide gender identity.”
However, the handbook also states that the rule cannot be enacted if the roster move has the purpose of gaining a competitive advantage.
“When a school district submits a roster to the MIAA, it is verifying that it has determined that the students listed on a gender-specific sports team are eligible to participate either based on the gender listed on their official birth certificate or based on their bona fide gender identity and that no students are included on the roster solely for the purpose of gaining an unfair advantage in competitive athletics,” Section 43.3.2 reads. “The MIAA shall defer to the determination of the student and the student’s school regarding gender classification.”
Section 43.3.4 says that “It is a recommended best practice that schools communicate with their opponents as necessary about the gender-specific needs of their team in order to promote inclusion – e.g. to ensure that appropriate locker room facilities are available, that announcer use athlete’s correct pronouns, etc.”
Girls may have gotten hurt in this game, but at least this transgender pretender didn’t get discriminated against. That’s apparently way more important in Massachusetts.
