It really sounds like somebody in the Queen Creek School District wanted to make a political issue out of him. Presumably, as cited in the article, the state law they pointed to 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. It doesn't matter where you are in the political aisle, it's pretty shameless to exploit this politically, even if it's just so they can go "look at how senseless this law is!" by making an issue out of its strictest interpretation.

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?”

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."

He should slam dunk on those fools. Check and rebound. Can't take the heat... get out of the way girls.
What absolute moron is running that school district?
Is it possible they are hoping it gets attention to show how stupid the law is?
