It’s really unfortunate that Fox News is the only media outlet connecting some of these dots, because they also promote false narratives. For example, the sub-headline reads:

Recent effort to protect girls' and women's sports is a youth movement as much as a conservative movement

which completely erases the FEMINIST movement that has been here from the beginning.

The reporter also refers to “anti-trans messaging”. Fortunately, people in the Comments are pushing back, saying that it is Pro-Woman and not “anti” anything.

So, on to the story:

A California high school caved to a student uprising after hundreds of students showed up wearing T-shirts that read "Save Girls' Sports" to protest a trans athlete on the cross-country team, defying the school's latest dress code.

The school had previously put students in detention for wearing the shirts. But a source told Fox News Digital that the school did not dress-code students when they showed up wearing the shirts on Wednesday.

“Hundreds” means at least 200, so that is a newsworthy event.

Originally, the school was going to discipline students for wearing the “XX=/XY” shirt but not the "Save Girls' Sports". In the end, it looks like they didn’t discipline anyone:

"According to the email sent out earlier this week from MLK HS Principal Leann Iacuone only the shirts that stated ‘XX=/XY’ should receive a dress code. Yet, as of now no student who is wearing that shirt today has received a dress code. I received information that there was a staff meeting today before school were the staff was told not to dress code."

Students at 3 other schools have also been wearing the shirts in protest:

Lorey added that students at neighboring schools have begun to wear the T-shirts as Martin Luther King's situation has garnered national attention. These schools include Arlington High School and Riverside Polytechnical High School, which share a school district with Martin Luther King. Ramona High School in Ramona, California, which is 83 miles south of Riverside, has also seen its students wear the shirts.

Meanwhile, a TIM athlete at the school has been throwing a mantrum:

On Wednesday, a trans athlete at the school allegedly made a private post on Instagram lashing out against detractors who have questioned and opposed trans inclusion on the school's girls' cross-country team. Multiple sources, including Lorey, have confirmed the message was posted to the athlete's private Instagram story.

The athlete also allegedly expressed an intention to compete in girls' pole-vaulting and said that competing against male opponents resulted in disappointing finishes.

In a statement previously provided to Fox News Digital, the Riverside Unified School District (RUSD) said it has allowed the transgender athlete to compete on the team because it must comply with California state law.

He admits he is a failed male athlete with “disappointing finishes”. But the girls’ team should not be used as a consolation prize for mediocre boys.
