California Christian School Forfeits Volleyball Match Over Transgender Player

Stone Ridge Christian High School cites religious beliefs in decision to forfeit against San Francisco Waldorf's team.

Stone Ridge Christian High School refused to play against San Francisco Waldorf due to the presence of a transgender athlete on the opposing team.
The school's decision was based on their belief that gender is immutable, as outlined in their religious doctrine.
The California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) may impose sanctions on Stone Ridge for withdrawing from the playoffs.
California law allows athletes to compete in sports consistent with their gender identity, regardless of their birth certificate gender.
This incident highlights ongoing national debates about the participation of transgender athletes in women's sports.
