"In Arizona last week, a cisgender male 8th grader was "physically removed" from tryouts for his school's boys' basketball team because an error on his original birth certificate incorrectly identified him as being born female. It's the latest episode in a "gender ideology"-inspired nightmare for the teenager, Laker Jackson, and his family. "I'm sad for everybody that it's come down to this," mom Becky Jackson told in Phoenix."
""I give him the birth certificate and they're like, 'Did you know this says female?'" Becky Jackson recalled about handing over enrollment paperwork to a school administrator last year. "I was like, 'What?'" Becky Jackson said. "I was like, 'Oh man, that's so funny.' So we come home, everyone's laughing.""
"The district removed Laker Jackson from an all-boys gym class and mandated he use a separate restroom, despite the family's assertion that their son is a cisgender boy, assigned male at birth. Becky's mom had already started work on changing Laker Jackson's birth certificate, but "it's not something that you can fix quickly. You have to have an affidavit signed," she said."
A hospital clerical mistake 14 years ago listed a newborn's sex incorrectly on his original birth certificate. The family did not notice the error and only later attempted to correct the document. School staff began treating the child as female, removing him from an all-boys gym class and requiring use of a separate restroom. The student was "physically removed" from tryouts for the boys' basketball team after the certificate discrepancy surfaced. The family sought legal documentation to amend the certificate, but the affidavit and correction process took time, delaying resolution and affecting the student's school participation.
