Original Note:
The male athlete pictured is a transgender man, i.e. he was assigned female at birth and transitioned to male. Despite this, he was only allowed to compete in the girls' league; Texas rules require high school athletes to compete as the gender on their birth certificates. https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/02/27/517491492/17-year-old-transgender-boy-wins-texas-girls-wrestling-championship
