The girls’ basketball team forfeits the playoff match and declines to play the biological male team.

The Mid Vermont School girls basketball team decided to exit the Vermont Division IV state tournament due to their unwillingness to compete against a team with a transgender student-athlete.
The school’s principal, Vicky Fogg, expressed concerns about competing against a biological male impacting the fairness of the game and the safety of their players. In Vermont, transgender female students are permitted to participate in girls’ sports teams, with the backing of the Vermont Principals’ Association and their commitment to inclusivity. The school had previously stated in a letter that it maintained the right to not comply with all of Vermont’s anti-discrimination laws.

It seems that the Vermont Principals’ Association is prioritizing the needs of a biological male over their female students. Getting into the playoffs is no easy feat, but choosing to forfeit a game in defense of women’s rights and the integrity of their sports is a powerful statement. It’s important to protect women’s sports from biological males entering.
VNews provided additional information about the forfeit:

The Eagles, seeded No. 12, were set to compete in a first-round match against the No. 5 seed Long Trail on Tuesday evening. However, their decision to withdraw resulted in the Mountain Lions winning the game by default.

“Playing against an opponent with a biological male jeopardizes the fairness of the game and the safety of our players,” MVCS head of school Vicky Fogg expressed in an email to the Valley News on Wednesday evening. “Enabling biological males to compete in women’s sports could establish a negative trend for the future of women’s sports overall.”
Fogg was unavailable for a comment, as reported by Vnews, but no comment was necessary. The female athletes and team made a strong statement for what they believe in, which is the key focus of the story.
