Subject: Ugh - what to do about this?

http://www.espn.com/espnw/sports/article/18767310/transgender-wrestler-mack-beggs-euless-trinity-wins-texas-state-girls-wrestling-title?addata=espn:frontpage

A 17-year old girl (becoming a boy) went 56-0 and won a state championship. A couple of things.

1) He / she was taking testosterone.
2) He / she may have asked to wrestle boys but did not for some reason (does this even matter?)

It just seems wrong to me.

I'm all for people preferring to be something else. I don't understand it honestly but mostly because I'm ignorant on the topic.

But it just seems like this gets into some pretty gray areas competitively and shouldn't be allowed (at all).

However people associate or feel... isn't the same as the way they are wired physiologically. I'm good on rights, I'm good on bathroom stuff, etc.... but not competitively. I think that is something that you either forfeit or you wait until leagues are mature enough to have their own maybe?
