It sparked bitter debate online.

According to witnesses, an Islamic high school in California decided not to play a school with a transgender player on its team on January 4th, instead canceling a females basketball game.

The article states that Averroes High School, located in Freemont and promoting itself as an Islamic high school that prepares students for college, lost its girlsโ€™ basketball match against San Francisco Waldorf High. Averroes officials withheld the reason for the gameโ€™s cancellation, but Reduxx has been informed by insiders that Waldorf fielded a boy who claims to be a transsexual girl.Reduxx claims to have investigated the issue and discovered that the boy is taller and faster than the girls, despite the fact that the transgender playerโ€™s identity was not disclosed.
โ€œThe boy had an obvious advantage,โ€ Lane said. โ€œ[The girls] didnโ€™t necessarily run their offense through him, probably because they didnโ€™t want to be targeted. But he got most rebounds and was able to jump much higher than the girls.โ€
Lane went on to say that the girls he faced โ€œwere at a complete disadvantage.โ€

โ€œI caught one scramble for the ball with another player, and my heart stopped. She was more than a foot shorter than him and could have been seriously injured,โ€ she said.
