    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.

    This is insane

      This is the actual insane take. The argument has always been that if they’re transitioning sexes, then boys sports should always be open to them. Because the reason for women’s sports is because they need a safe place where they can compete on equal grounds. But to bar this person from competing in boys sports as well, is dumb as rocks.

        It’s not dumb, it’s evil and cruel, not dumb. It’s the life of a children being permanently traumatized.

          Okay, I can agree with that. It IS being done purely out of spite.
