There wasn't anything "wrong" with the "biological male". He wasn't transgender or anything like that.
It has to do with the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) rules that have been in place since the 1970s.
MIAA states in its handbook that “no student shall be denied in any implied or explicit manner the opportunity to participate in any interscholastic activity because of gender.”
Schools could deny a student to play a sport based on gender if the school “offers a girls’ team and a boys’ team” for the same sport, the association writes in its rules. For any male athlete that’s participating in a female sport, there are zero restrictions.
That's what this article is about. And about possible changes in that law.
Obviously it was working for over 50 years and no one questioned it. So, maybe it's time.
I'm confused about something. Are you guys implying that a female is incapable of making a shot strong enough to do any damage to a person's face if the puck hits someone's face?
