A Utah high school athletics association secretly investigated a female athlete — without telling her or her parents — after receiving complaints from the parents of two girls she had defeated in competition questioning whether the girl was transgender.
The Salt Lake Tribune reports that the Utah High School Activities Association and the girl’s high school determined she indeed was female after poring through school records dating back to kindergarten.
Association spokesman David Spatafore told lawmakers that the girl and her family weren’t told of the investigation to spare them embarrassment and “to keep the matter private,” the Tribune reported Thursday.
The revelation comes as at least 12 Republican-led states — including Utah — have passed laws banning transgender women or girls in sports. Supporters of the bans say transgender girls have an unfair advantage because they were born as stronger males and could deny girls places on sports teams.

When you lose in theses nutty states you have to blame someone beside lousy coaching. Saying she doesn’t look like a girl doesn’t fly. So every “ugly girl and feminine looking male” beware someone wants to look down your pants, isn’t that called pedophilia?

If you read the article they only checked the questioned individuals school records.

I read the whole article the child has registered as a girl from kindergarten. But why is this even a challenge because their team sucked I guess.
Paranoia runs very deep on the right about these children and it will come down to looking down their pants.
I guess they have never heard of hermaphroditism which throws that we are born just male or female right out of the window, we are not!

MSgt Dale Johnson - They didn't need to - there was no reason to do so. The parents need to just check themselves into the reality that their kid got beat.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel We should not have to worry about this but, in this day and age, what do you do? Sounds like possibly the parents who requested the investigation were upset because their daughters lost. Sour grapes!

Unfortunately its a big deal to the type of folks who think its fine to shoot and kill youth athletic program coaches.
