#Transgender #wrestler #MackBeggs plans to take #legal #action against #misleading #Texas #Republican #ads.

The #Republican #attackads falsely depict Beggs as a #trans #boy #wrestling #girls. In reality, Beggs is a #trans #man (assigned female at birth) who wished to compete against other #boys. However, he was compelled by the #Texas #School #Sports #regulator (#UIL) to wrestle #girls due to the #female #sex recorded on his #birthcertificate at that time.

From the article: The UIL regulations said that he has to compete in the category corresponding to the sex denoted on his birth certificate. Beggs was forced to compete in the girl’s competition, which is exactly the rules Republicans like Cruz endorse now.
