    If anyone has heard but Mack Beggs, a transgendered teen from Texas, won his second and final Texas HS wrestling title in the 110lb division

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...te-girls-championship/?utm_term=.122cc46e9a00


    I reported this last year around this time when he won his first title.

    I think this is final year in high school since he's graduating, I'm unsure which school he will be attending for college.

    I know there has been controversial over the fact that he's wrestling against girls despite him transitioning from female to male. But UIL(the organization that governs athletics in public schools in Texas) has rules that has someone compete in the gender thats on their birth certificate.

    I'm friends with Mack on Facebook. I think a female cousin of his, attended the same high school as me. I sent Mack a few private messages when he won the state title last year and this year.
