Transgender boy wins high school girls' wrestling tournament


In what might be the most controversial high school wrestling victory ever, a transgender boy completed an undefeated season Saturday by winning a Texas state girls’ wrestling title. Though Beggs, a junior at Euless Trinity High School, would prefer wrestling boys, state policy dictates that athletes must compete as the gender listed on their birth certificate. Baudhuin is the parent of a wrestler at another school, The Associated Press reported. Beggs’ parents said their child has identified as a boy since age 3, The Star-Telegram reported, and transgender experts who spoke to the paper said the rule requiring Beggs to wrestle girls is wrong. “I wouldn't be here today if it weren't for my teammates,” Beggs said.
