A Christian school appeals its ban on competing after it objected to a transgender player

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.

I wonder how many of those girls were excited to compete until some adult pulled them out because of the No Good Very Bad Unfair Unsafe Trans Girl. While I don't doubt there are teenage transphobes, most of the teenagers I went to school with (Catholic school) or know tangentially have way bigger problems, like zits and algebra homework.

Good on the education department to stand firm on this… it is kind of hilarious that this Christian school is giving a hack to any competing teams - a transgender team member would guarantee victory simply due to the sheer power of trans…

But it’s also super shitty for them to refuse to play and further feelings of isolation that most trans teenagers struggle with.

As always, fuck Christians… the best of them are unoffensive but there are so many shitty ones.

Hilarious alternative response, allow them to play technically, but every single team now mysteriously has 1 trans member. Oh, so sorry, looks like we have no teams you’re eligible to play against, it’s an automatic loss, better luck next season.
