    still haven't answered my question if a male athlete test below the so called standard would he then be allowed to take a steroid to reach that standard? subverting the rule on taking steroids as an athlete they enforce in many sports?

    I've seen these sorts of laws before, and they are abusive. I am totally against discrimination, but C-16 in Canada, for example, is not about discrimination. It is about legislative compelled speech. California has passed similar laws.

    S/he should not have been allowed to compete.

    I don't know, could be a good lesson for kids about the inherent nature of "competition" and reward american society.

    Not your gender it only becomes arbitrary when you pretend to be the other one.

    I didn't say it was illegal.

    he can't wrestle with the boys if they let him wrestle with the boys they will have to let trans girls wrestle with girls.

    Nope, it was intentional. Mack is a girl who thinks she's a boy. At most she can become a transgendered boy. She can never become a boy (or man).

    The unfair part is at the least, she's taking testosterone, (some say she's also taking anabolic steroids) as part of her "transition." Testosterone not made by your own body is a banned substance for most athletes.

    The problem is that the Texas high school athletic association wouldn't allow her to wrestle boys.

    Agreed. However that's a separate issue and that fact, however idiotic, didn't absolve Mack of common decency, gallantry and good sportsmanship.

    I am over a boy having to have testosterone administered so he can be the same as the other boys. You need to get over that.

    Steroids are hundreds of times more potent than the levels this person is administered. That is why testosterone is listed separately from other steroids in the rules and exception is given for people who receive those treatments. It is also why testosterone therapy is not harmful like steroids are. Your want to make them the same thing is false.

    No one is in jail for not using the correct pronoun so please do stop lying and pretending that is a thing.

    It is about discrimination, according to the way the law was explained.
    If one uses the wrong pronoun, nothing. But if they do so because they want to discriminate, then legal action may come into play.

    Then it's settled. He was legal to wrestle with the girls.

    If you got a problem with that, than you need to complain at the people organizing the games who make the rules.
    The child is playing according to the rules = not cheating.

    The mentally ill probably shouldn't be competing in sports. Just my .02
