A Vermont Christian school that is barred from participating in the state sports league after it withdrew its high school girls basketball team from a playoff game because a transgender student was playing on the opposing team has taken its case to a federal appeals court.
Mid Vermont Christian School, of Quechee, forfeited the Feb. 21, 2023, game, saying it believed that the transgender player jeopardized “the fairness of the game and the safety of our players.”
The executive council of the Vermont Principals’ Association, which governs school sports and activities, ruled the following month that the school had violated the council’s policies on race, gender and disability awareness, and therefore was ineligible to participate in future games.
It’s ludicrous everyone understands biology operates on spectrums. Brown eyes, yep, large range of eye coloration are “brown”. White skin, yep, large array of skin tones are “white”. Even like the flavor of tomatoes, yep, vast differences. Genetic variation within a population is what keeps a species viable. Yet when it comes to the genetic makeup and expression of sex chromosome linked traits, fuck you, it’d without question this or that…
Which just goes to show you that it’s really all about power.
