A Vermont girls high school basketball team forfeited an out of state tournament after refusing to play against a team that had a transgender player https://t.co/DvnyxoPtii

“We withdrew from the tournament because we believe playing against an opponent with a biological male jeopardizes the fairness of the game and the safety of our players,” Fogg said in a statement.
“Allowing biological males to participate in women’s sports sets a bad precedent for the future of women’s sports in general.”
[That’s exactly right. Basketball is a contact sport, too, which makes the safety issue even more acute than it is in, say, volleyball — where a female competitor got seriously injured by a biological male opponent last October. It’s absurd to put girls and young women at risk of physical harm to satisfy a political fad, let alone watch them get crowded out of opportunities to play by biological males. Who got cut on that team to make way for the transgender player? — Ed]
