Transgender wrestler Mack Beggs wins Texas girls title again

    Senior, 18, beats opponent from 2017 final again
    Beggs wants to fight boys but state insists on birth certificate rule

Associated Press in Cypress, Texas

Sun 25 Feb 2018 08.31 EST

For the second year in a row, a transgender wrestler has won the Texas girls’ Class 6A 110lbs division.

Mack Beggs, an 18-year-old senior from Euless Trinity High School near Dallas, entered the tournament in Cypress outside of Houston with an undefeated record. He beat Chelsea Sanchez – who he beat for the title in 2017 – in the final match on Saturday.

Video posted online showed a mix of cheers and boos from the crowd following Beggs’ win.

Beggs is in the process of transitioning from female to male and taking a low-dose of testosterone. It was his steroid therapy treatments while wrestling girls that stirred a fierce debate about competitive fairness and transgender rights last season. His march to a state championship was dogged by a last-minute lawsuit that tried to stop him.

Beggs asked to wrestle in the boys’ division but the rules for Texas public high schools require athletes to compete under the gender on their birth certificate.

Girl who wants to be a boy, wrestles as a girl but takes boy hormones (doping) and wins the girls match.

Well that is just crazy talk.  There will be none of that here.  You hear.

This does not look gay. Nope. Not at all.

I think every non steroid enhanced girl should have refused to wrestle it and if there isn't a huge friggin asterisk beside this persons name in the record books it's an insult to all of those girls.
Is one of these her?
