With your logic, she should play on the men's football team:

She was born a man.

I can't fault the females feeling uncomfortable with his presence, though.

They had a unisex bathroom for this person who then CHOSE not to use it and insisted on using the girls locker room and bathrooms.

From the article:

When school began on Aug. 13, Perry told school administrators that she wanted to use the girls’ bathroom and locker room, instead of the unisex bathroom she had used as a junior.

Has nothing to do with it being a "sex show," but moreso with the game being fair.
I can tell you from experience having played recreational ice hockey with both, men and women, that generally, men are far stronger, faster, and more brutal than women.

Maybe a male MMA fighter should cross-dress, put a wig on and say he feels like a girl just so that he can fight chicks? There's a good way to dethrone Ronda Rousey.

Uhhhh, according to his genetics and anatomy, he is a male, who wants to be a girl. Last I checked not even PC can change the laws of nature. Once he has the gender reassignment surgery, he can legally be considered female, but not before.

That said, it seems the school has made provisions for individuals confused about their gender with the unisex bathrooms, and the article reports this kid has been using these bathrooms. With his insistence on using the girls' bathrooms, lockers or whatever, he is attempting to impose his will on others.

IMO he would be avoiding embarrassment to himself, as well as discomfort and consternation on the part of the teenage girls, if he just kept using the unisex facilities.

Again …
Biologically/embryologically, "male" and "female" exist on a continuum …
This is a fact.
Some people are uncomfortable learning this up close and personal. So, the natural common anxieties that many people have with sexuality in general … well, that is part of the deal, too …
We'll have to agree to disagree.

Basic DNA check. If the person has xy chromosome than he is a male.

*Sigh*

'MURICA!!!
As a male, I've not used a woman's bathroom since I was around 3 years old... with mom.
Aren't each stall separated in a woman's bathroom?
Can you see anything in the stall next to yours?

I guess it's going to come down to having a single stalled bathroom that either sex can use...

The world is falling apart...
