Marissa Rothenberger, the softball player at the Minnesota Transgender Lycée, who would have changed sex at 9, attracted opponents during her junior preparation season.
Rothenberger is a launcher of Champlin Park High School in Champlin, Minnesota, which is located about 15 miles northwest of Minneapolis and has amassed a 5-1 file in the circle this season.
The profile of Rothenberger as a solid launcher in the North Star State arrives in the middle of the current debate of organic men in competition in female sports.
The case has reached a fever field since the reintegration of Donald Trump as a American president, with him who pushes a ban and even signed a decree entitled: “ keeping men out of female sports ”.
The rights of transgender athletes have been a problem of division for several years with the swimmer Lia Thomas and the Balaire Fleming volleyball star finding herself at the heart of the fierce debate, Rothenberger joining them.
At 9 years old, Rothenberger’s mother asked for the district court to modify the birth certificate of her child after their ninth anniversary, the petition being approved, by Reduxx. Rothenberger has received a new birth certificate that appears to a woman born, passing their names from “Charlie Dean” to Marissa.

In the episode of Thursday of “Around The Horn”, the Panelist and former ESPN employee, Kate Fagan, spoke on the issue in favor of transgender athletes.
“Children Trans are worth playing sports,” said Fagan. “Think about what you remember your time playing sports and 99% is: finding this jersey for the first time, your favorite number, the community, joy, these high-fives.”
“This is this moment when you have an excellent game with a teammate, it is the feeling of belonging and that he does not know sex. Trans children deserve – like everyone else.
