A private Christian school in Vermont that forfeited a girls’ basketball game against a team with a biological male “transgender” player has been banned from participating in upcoming sporting events. The Vermont Principals’ Association, which oversees school sporting events, announced on Monday that Mid Vermont Christian School would be ineligible to participate in sporting events and other activities done through the organization.
“The VPA again reiterates its ongoing support of transgender student-athletes as not only a part of building an inclusive community for each student to grow and thrive.

Vicky Fogg's and the school's rationale is excellent. Ane we must speak out and stand up for women's sports.
God bless them.

“The prohibition against discrimination includes discrimination based on a student’s actual or perceived sex and gender.”
A "perceived perception" can also be a false perception. I don't understand how or why an individual's false perception should be "affirmed" as a matter of law or "best practices" involving minor children. As the lawsuits pile up against adults and organizations who participate in "affirming" XX and XY are merely "assigned" at birth, the damage done to those children will receive a proper accounting. It is inevitable that regret over medical mutilation will carry a very high price for professionals who encouraged the fantasy.

Makes sense, exclude to include. The cancellation of biological women by men continues. It is extreme clown world out there.

Well, the Mid Vermont Christian School might as well go ahead and retire their sneakers, because when this continues it will ruin the sports anyway. Totally unfair to the female participants.

Would like to see these school teams take their play to other like-minded teams. I know it doesn't help their college aspirations any, but if it's about the play, then play for yourselves & your families & schools that support you!

Maybe the Parents should pull their kids out of that CHRISTIAN School.! And don't get me going on "Inclusiveness". That's BS! I'm pretty sure those kids have been taught God Created Adam and Eve. Period. He created them in His Own Image. So, If those kids, at the Christian School, are refusing to play with Those who have decided they don't like the Image God created them in, so they are going to change their Image from Boy to Girl! As for the Vermont Principal's Association, What a Bunch of Morons! They should all be fired!

To the young women of the team - in the face of all that is unjust and unfair, stand your ground, feed your core values and build your boundaries firm on your beliefs. A hard life lesson now, but it will serve you well in the future.

Amen to # 18. All women's basketball teams at the high school and college level must adopt the principle that they will not play against an opposing team if it has a biological male on the roster. If such an effort were organized and the teams remained firm it would jeopardize all the basketball finals and the NCAA championships. Only by bringing this issue before the American public at large can this madness be addressed and disposed of. Can you imagine the outrage, for example, if South Carolina had a man on its roster and UConn refused to play them? This issue of men on women's teams has to get to the national level to be addressed and adjudicated.

Just waiting for that 6'10", 270 lb power-forward to show up in college. Want to see how that goes over.

Parents and girl athletes in all sports:
Unite!
The only way to end the insanity, since our goverment, judicial, and political leaders won't, is to embrace the boycott of this one school by boycotting the league and its cringworthy Leaders. Start here and grow.
Girls are losing out on college scholarships to men who claim they're female.
What's to lose?
Dry up the feeder system to the college ranks and see what happens.
It may be painful, but all worthy fights are uphill.
America is in crisis. Fight for your rights!

That VPA is pure evil. Yet if you called them out for their attacks on real girls/women, they would look puzzled and baffled by the reality of the accusations. I just hope those poor girls they are forcing into playing these scammers stay safe. Maybe the parents need to boycott all these sporting events by pulling their daughters off the teams.

Mid Vermont Christian School did not discriminate against the trans athlete. They forfeited the game. That is not discrimination. Their reason for forfeiting is irrelevant. Where are all of women who fought for years for equity in HS girl's sports / women's college sports? Most have been mysteriously silent on this subject. Yes, there have been a few brave old timers speaking out against transgender men/women in female sports, but their voices are largely ignored. I have not hear any issues with female to male transgender trying to play in male sports. Is there no issue or are they so overpowered by genetic differences that they do not make the teams?

Schools whose female sports teams have to play against teams that have males who are pretending to be females should play their 2nd string ie the school’s male team. Of course they will have to “feel like a women” and wear dresses, but they should show the insanity of letting trans women, ie males, play on women’s teams.

The Christian school should enroll five former male NBA players, declare them women, and make a farce of future sporting events.

I keep trying to call the NC chapter of the NAG's (National Association of Gals) also known as the National Organization for Women about the ongoing issue of men playing in women's sports but I keep getting a busy signal.

The VPA went on to say that if a few girls suffer serious injuries competing against young men in contact sports, hey it's no big deal. And in the spirit of "inclusiveness", Mid Vermont Christian School is hereby banned from competition.
