My Opinions Story
Mack Beggs was declared the winner at the UIL wrestling state girls championship on February 25, 2016. Beggs Identifies as a male, but a court ruling stated that you had to wrestle the gender on your birth certificate. It has become a very controversial topic mainly because he was taking testosterone, and many of his opponents and others including me, believed that testosterone should count as a form of steroids.
Beggs was a Junior who attended Trinity High School in Euless, Texas. He was born a girl and was transitioning into becoming a male. He wrestled an undefeated season of 44 wins and no losses at 110 pounds.
Beggs was part of a two-year plan to fully transition from a girl to a boy, that allowed him to take testosterone pills which would make him lose his breasts and start growing facial hair. It also made him stronger than a female. Because of this, many of his opponents forfeited their matches against him because they believed he had an unfair advantage.
One of Texas's policies is the you have to wrestle the gender that is on your birth certificate. Another states that boys and girls cannot wrestle against each other. In the end it really came down to if you considered Mack Beggs a girl or a boy. The judges stuck to the gender on the birth certificate, and ultimately declared that Beggs had to wrestle girls.
Although Beggs wanted to wrestle against boys he did not challenge the ruling. He thought that if he tried to challenge the ruling that the judges might not let him wrestle at all. He then stated that "I would rather have a chance to compete than to not compete at all."
When Beggs finally won his hast championship match there were boos and there were cheers. When he was asked about the boos by the reporters he stated that "Honestly, I didn't even care about the boos. This is what I worked for. It finally paid off."
There is no doubt that any state champion has to work hard to get to where they are, but the people that are wrestling against him would have to work a whole lot harder to get to be state champ mainly for one reason.
Mack Beggs is a girl that takes testosterone to identify as a guy, and no matter what you say, testosterone makes you stronger giving you an unfair advantage. There is a reason why in Texas girls do not wrestle guys and by allowing girls to compete with Beggs is giving him an advantage.
The bottom line is that there is a reason that Beggs is taking those drugs. He wouldn't be talking them if they were not doing anything. Testosterone is taken by girls to gain qualities of boys. That includes strength. Mack Beggs was under the influence of performance inhancing drugs while wrestling and should not have gotten the state title for girls wrestling 110.
