We informed the parent that documentation such as a chromosome analysis could be considered to help support or verify eligibility in accordance with policy.
I cannot imagine being the dumbass who said that with a straight face.
I don’t understand why it’s the school asking for this and not whoever updated the birth certificate? How did school administrators become the judges of who is a boy or girl?
Because their the ones who will be prosecuted under the law if they allow a kid to play on the wrong team.
Did anyone inform the administration that documentation such as chromosome analysis could be considered to help support or verify eligibility in participating with the human race? Because it seems like they might be a slime mold, based on their integrity and decision-making ability.
Feels like malicious compliance to me. But who knows.
Edit: For those downvoting, someone else in the comments pasted a quote about a law that was passed in that state. So I was just speculating that maybe they were maliciously complying to show how ridiculous it is.
What a shithole country.
That’s beginning to feel like an understatement. We need a new type of hole to describe just how shit things are. A shit-Mariana Trench country, perhaps.
How 'bout… Trumphole? Truole?
It’s not the size of the whole that makes it bad, it’s the contents of the whole. So maybe a bloody diarrhea whole?
When they did a scan of my colon, they found I had pollips. Thats how we discovered I have cancer.
Then they cut the pollips off. I imagine that left a hole in the pollip area.
How about colon pollip hole?

Bush’s Secretary of State?
So is Lemmy.ca just another .ml with maple syrup?
You can’t possibly think the US is anything but terrible
No I do, but I live here. I can’t count how many Lemmy.ca folks giving this same type of response.
Gee, I wonder what could have happened to piss off the Canucks?
Hard telling.
The district pointed to a state law enacted in 2022, which mandates that school sports teams must be designated “based on the biological sex of the students who participate” in the sport. A federal judge blocked enforcement of that law in 2023, but only against two trans student-athletes who filed suit against it. (An appeals court upheld that injunction last year, and the Supreme Court declined to take up the case this summer.)
Any chance this is some malicious compliance?
I don’t see what part of that even requires them to use the birth certificate
It’s really a no win situation though if the boy complies. Newsmax will show footage of a game he plays in as evidence that boys are playing in girls sports, and the idiots who watch will believe it and support even worse politicians and laws.
Could be! I was just commenting that the kid could engage in malicious compliance. Let’s see what happens when he exits the girls locker room with wet hair and a towel around his neck.
If that were me, I’d start wearing skirts and mascara. Let my nails grow out, tweeze my asshole, shave my treasure trail into a facsimile of a set of ovaries. Pitch my voice up, incorporate the words “bitch” and “tea” into my daily vernacular. Cry after sad movies and even harder after happy ones. Entirely unrelated to the article, btw
Take your pills, Alice.
At that point, don’t you just start using the girls facilities to try and force the issue? The girls would get their parents to complain a “boy” is in their bathrooms and delaying gym by waiting for him to use the locker room. How incredibly asinine that a doctor is not enough to assert the kid’s gender to their administration
Demand the school install a urinal in the ladies room.
Power move
I think I smell a sequel:
I was thinking more
Yeah sometimes dogs get forced to play on the boys’ team. Where is the outrage about the golden retrievers?
I’m a single issue voter in regards to golden retrievers playing basketball, I assure you I’m outraged enough for everyone.
On one hand, poor guy. On the other, if he’s any good the girls’ team is going to sweep whatever competitions they enter.
He should play on all the girls teams, crush it like a total badass, then when conservative parents complain that “a boy is playing on the girls team” everyone can tell them to shut the fuck up because this is the future they always wanted. One with no exceptions or grey areas to speak of.
You say this like conssrvatives would even grasp the facts that they did this. You’re talking about the same group who claims to live their life based on the teachings of Jesus, who cared for all, even the misfortunate. Then they turn around and cheer the dismantling of snap and medicaid with zero irony that it’s what Jesus would want.
It would be pure awesome if he got out there and kicked ass. Teenage me would have fucking run with this whole mess.
“Oh no! PLEASE don’t make me hang out with the cute athletic girls! PLEASE don’t make me share their locker room!”
Kid should waltz into the locker room, casually strip down and shower. Can you imagine the howls of outrage?! Preface the act by telling the girls his plan so none feel harassed. They can all be turned around on the other end of the room, waiting outside, whatever, the perception and headlines are all that counts.
If you get down to it, he only need walk out with wet hair and have the girls scream and point. God I would have had a blast fucking the administration over.
And just what would the school system do about it? “You told me I’m a girl so I’m acting accordingly. Suck it.”
Last year, Laker reportedly won a conference championship for the wrestling team at the school.
I wouldn’t blame him if he doesn’t compete feeling that it’s unfair for everyone else.
Laker Jackson “has been enrolled in QCUSD since elementary school and has been registered as a biological female throughout their time in our district,” the district’s statement read in part. “The day before basketball tryouts, the parent submitted a new birth certificate and a doctor’s note indicating a gender change. Our schools rely on a student’s original birth certificate at birth to determine athletic eligibility […] We informed the parent that documentation such as a chromosome analysis could be considered to help support or verify eligibility in accordance with policy.”
Becky Jackson told KNXV that the cheapest option for genetic testing her family was able to find would cost them $1,500 — with no guarantee that her son would be granted eligibility. “So who’s going to pay for that?”
Idiots.
Idiots idiots idiots.
Idiots.
What absolute moron is running that school district?
Is it possible they are hoping it gets attention to show how stupid the law is?
perhaps, but that’s also cruel…
The worst part is he doesn’t even like sports!
Sounds like malicious compliance imo
