In Washington state in February, a girls JV basketball team went up against another team that had an 18 year old male on it. One girl sat out and then called a man a man. Which got her in trouble with the school for ‘bullying and misgendering’. I want to explore the school’s actions.
Let’s unpack this. Firstly, there was an 18 year old man on a JV girls basketball team. Those teams are generally made up of 14 and 15 year old girls. So what’s up with that? Is he so bad at playing that he couldn’t make the Varsity team or did his school not put him on their Varsity team because they wanted to make sure that no schools forfeited against them?
Now, the administration had options to avoid the conflict. They could have told the parents and team ahead of time to give them a heads up that they would be playing against a man. And they chose not to do so. Because they wanted to force the issue or avoid a forfeit.
So it’s much better to blindside a bunch of girls and put them on the spot that evening by presenting the game as a fait accompli. And then punish the one who stood up and hold the threat of further punishment over her head.
All to push an ideology that is not fading nearly fast enough.
