I'm genuinely curious what happens for example if this cis gender boy wants to get married with a cis gender girl. Would that be a gay marriage (I dunno what is the correct term). And if they are in a state where it's not allowed, how does it go?

(I am not from US. I assume union of same sex is not fully accepted and every state and/or community have different laws and practices)

Gay marriage is legal in every state since 2015. Supreme Court ordered it with Obergefell v Hodges

I like how US laws are cited. "Can Asians own SUV?". Yes they can since Mathews vs Jonathan in 1994.

Sounds like they threw two people in the pit and the victor of the bout decided the law on that.

For now. That's next to get the ax on the conservative agenda.

So does he have to use the girls' bathroom, also??

On one hand, poor guy. On the other, if he's any good the girls' team is going to sweep whatever competitions they enter.

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?”

What absolute moron is running that school district?

Is it possible they are hoping it gets attention to show how stupid the law is?
