"In a move condemned by transgender advocates, school superintendents in Texas have overwhelmingly approved a change that requires public school officials to use a birth certificate to determine a student athlete's gender."

Sorry I agree with the state of Texas on this.
If I had been born female I wouldn't like to compete against a male having male muscles.
The state apparently accepts us if we are on hormones or had surgery which they didn't allow several years ago. They are even willing to allow birth certificate changes too.

I agree. Their rules do not look unreasonable. From the article:
Sapere Aude
QuoteTexas will become one of seven states that require high school students to provide either a birth certificate, gender-reassignment surgery or documentation of hormone therapy, according to TransAthlete.com, which says states like California and Florida have more inclusive rules.
