If that's true, it's just bad legislation. Though it's really a matter of he said she said, or in this case he said he said, when it comes to if the UIL actually shot themselves in the foot or if Beggs just took advantage of the situation and played the story for sympathy in the media.
The girls division in Texas is incredibly weak because of the divide. The girls who grew up wrestling in youth, where we don't separate them, are an entirely different animal and destroy the majority of girls who've never wrestled a male competitively. Beggs was an example of that and had a huge advantage before the hormones.
I'm torn because I had my senior year taken from me after 11 years of wrestling because I was a whistleblower for an abusive coach who was fired after I graduated, I get having your passion taken from you. My plan was to wrestle in college and that decision took my whole future that I had planned away from me. But it just feels wrong competing against such lame ducks when you know you've got such a huge advantage due in part to hormones.
