GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM FORFEITS PLAYOFF GAME, REFUSED TO PLAY AGAINST BIOLOGICAL MALE.

The Mid Vermont Christian School girls basketball team withdrew from the Vermont Division IV state tournament, refusing to play against a team with a transgender student-athlete.

Head of School Vicky Fogg stated that competing against a “biological male” jeopardized both fairness and player safety.

Vermont law allows transgender females to play on girls’ teams, supported by the Vermont Principals’ Association.

The withdrawal sparked debate over the inclusion of transgender athletes and the integrity of women’s sports.
