On Saturday, Mack Beggs of Trinity High School in Euless, TX, won the Class 6A 110-pound girls championship for the second time. This is despite Beggs, who identifies as male, wanting to wrestle other boys throughout his scholastic career.
Begg’s title winning triumph over Chelsea Sanchez of Morton Ranch High School in Katy, was met with boos inside the Berry Center in Cypress (per Brad Townsend of Dallas Morning News).
Beggs is banned from competing against other boys. According to TransAthlete.com, this is because Texas uses a student’s birth certificate to determine a student athlete’s gender for participation in sports.
