At least a dozen women’s and girls sports teams have forfeited games against teams with biological male players without consequences, but one team has been kicked out of its league for almost a year for refusing to play a team with a transgender-identifying player.
Mid Vermont Christian School in Burlington, Vermont, forfeited a girls’ high school basketball game in November 2023 against a team that had a male athlete playing for it. The Vermont Principals’ Association resultantly kicked Mid Vermont Christian out of the association and denied it public funding through the state’s tuition program.
