Mark, I wonder if you could contact me to discuss this.. I would love to see if you could persaude some of the parents in your grandson's school to have a go at confronting the school about this. This really has parallels to the discrimination faced by girls when male trans athletes are allowed to compete against them. There's a huge fuss about that yet this type of blatant discrimination against boys is happening all the time and we have to fight back. I think I could get the media interested in this story if you can find some parents prepared to speak out.

Thanks, Bettina.

I left a response to your email just a few minutes ago. Thanks for your interest and passion for men and boys.

My daughter went to dinner with the family of her son's grade six buddy on the weekend and they told her the story. It was their son who quit the team when it happened. I'm not sure of the exact time of this appalling action nor the finer details. I know the family my daughter spoke too had pushed back but nothing changed.

As I said in my email, I don't think my daughter would like this story to become a public one as much as the idea appeals to me. Her son has only just entered prep and she lives quite close to the school. The idea that she could become a target for pushback or even accused of being a shit stirrer would be the main reason for her hesitancy as this could also impact my grandosn too!

If my grandson was in the grade six team I think that would be different but we only heard of this issue on the weekend and it happened a few weeks ago as far as I recall.

Thanks again for your interest and support.
