CYPRESS, Texas - A 17-year-old transgender boy completed an undefeated season by winning a controversial Texas girls' wrestling title on Saturday.
The event was clouded by criticism from those who believe the testosterone Mack Beggs is taking to transition from female to male created an unfair advantage.
The teenager's family said he would rather be wrestling boys, but state policy calls for students to wrestle against the gender listed on their birth certificates.
