When a girl left her competitors in the dust at a state-level school sports competition in Utah last year, not everyone was impressed with her inspiring athleticism. The parents of the girls who came in second and third couldnt accept the winner had simply outclassed their daughtersso they called her gender into question, sparking a secret investigation that delved into the winners personal history.
At a meeting of Utah Legislatures Education Interim Committee on Wednesday, a school sports official recounted the grim probe, and added that it wasnt an isolated incident. David Spatafore, the Utah High School Activities Association (UHSAA) legislative representative, told the committee that his organization had received multiple complaints in which parents claimed that female athlete doesnt look feminine enough.
Spatafore would not disclose the sport or the school associated with the case where the winner had outclassed her competitors last year. But he did reveal that the UHSAA asked the students school to investigate by looking back through her school-enrollment records. The school went back to kindergarten, Spatafore said, And shed always been a female.
Neither the pupil nor her family were told about the investigation. We didnt get to the parents or the student simply because if all of the questions about eligibility were answered by the school or the feeder system schools, there was no reason to make it a personal situation with a family or that athlete, Spatafore explained, according to The Desert News.
Such secret policing of childrens bodies was made possible in Utah by HB11, a controversial bill passed by the state House and Senate in March that banned transgender girls from competing in school sports. Republican Gov. Spencer Cox was among those critical of the bill, pointing out at the time of the vote that, of the four trans children in the state who play sports, only one of them was a girl, CBS News reported. Despite the new rules essentially prohibiting just one child from competing in school sports, Coxs veto was overturned by the state legislature and enacted all the same.
