Stone Ridge Christian High School in Merced, California, forfeited a girls’ volleyball state playoff match after refusing to compete against a transgender player on the opposing team, the Merced Sun-Star reported.
School Administrator Julie Fagundes issued a statement after the forfeit, saying that “standing for biblical truth means more than the outcome of a game.”
The statement added: “We do not believe sex is changeable and we do not intend to participate in events that send a different message.
