River Side High School:
Max was sitting next to his mom as they sat across the table from Principal Armstrong, Assistant Principal Forge, Counselor Saffa Wong, female swim team coach Karr, and male swim team coach Thomson. Superintendent of schools Garfield Finney and his assistant Kirsty Robin were there as well.

Everyone was looking at Max and her mother. Max’s mother suggested she wear a nice dress and make sure her make-up was properly done for a sixteen-year-old. They had a letter from Dr. Holmes's office explaining the fact that Max was seeing her for gender dysphoria.

Dr. Wolfhart also sent the medical report from Max’s physical and blood work. Because Max has been taking his sister’s birth control pills for the last eight months. They have lowered his testosterone levels and were causing his breasts to start to develop.

Since she was already developing breast tissue under her breasts. She increased the amount of estrogen and prescribed progestogens as well.

Coach Thomson looks at Max “are you sure, you want to swim on the girl’s swim team?”

“Yes sir. There’s no way I could remain on the boy’s swim team during the swim season. Plus, it would look kind of weird to have a male swimmer wearing a female suit on the team.” Max was happy he would be growing his breasts.

Dr. Wolfhart had informed him that his levels, were a little high and was interfering with his testosterone levels. She guessed that his sister needed high levels because of her period. According to Dr. Wolfhart, his sister’s birth control pills contained forty mcg.

“You do know, I might have to let you ride the bench if the opposing team complained about you swimming on the girl’s team.” Coach Karr figure there might be a problem from the other coaches and teams.

“There are at least six girls on our team, that could beat me in a race. So, what’s the difference of them competing against them and competing against me?” Max looks at coach Karr for an answer.

“Because, most of the other teams will only see you as a boy, Max. They know who you are.” Coach Thomson knew how good Max was. He wasn’t the top swimmer in their school, but he was in the top five on their team.

“If those girls don’t want to compete against Max, then that’s their choice and should forfeit.” Laura felt that even though she understood the reason behind their reluctance. That is still no excuse to hold that against Max. Especially, when there are six girls on the swim team that are faster than Max.

“Mrs. Puscat, you have to look at it from their point of view. They aren’t competing against another girl, but a girl who is biology a boy as well.”

“Which, shouldn’t matter, Coach Thomson. If there are six girls on this school’s swim team that can beat, Max. Then they could do the same thing. It would be more embarrassing for Max to be beaten by a natural girl, then them complaining.” Laura figured Max could accept it.

“Mrs. Puscat, we also have to take into account the families of those girls as well.” Coach Karr looks at Laura and Max.

“Coach Karr, I understand your concerns, because I have an older daughter as well. If something like this came up, when she still went here, I would still have an open mind about someone like Max competing. As for the family of those girls, if they have a problem with their daughters competing against a transgender student, then they need to put themselves in the student place. Is it fair for the student to stop doing what they enjoy?”

“You do make a good argument and there are no rules that say Max can’t join this school’s swim team. He’ll have to wear a girl’s swimsuit and go by the same rules that all the girls on the team follow.” Coach Karr will have to make some arrangements for Max to change in the girl’s locker room.

“As for the rest of Max’s classes, she will still take them. There’s no reason to change them, because of her new status.” Principal Armstrong has already determined there was no reason to change Max’s school schedule.

“How about bathroom uses? Will you force Max to use the male’s restroom or will she be allowed to use the girl’s?” Laura wanted Max to be safe.

“She’ll be allowed to use the girl’s restroom. If any student gives her a problem with it. We will deal with the situation.” Assistant Principal Forge had already researched the laws and such. Max was permitted by law to use the girl’s bathroom.

“So, everything is fine with me swimming for the school on the girl’s team?” Max looks at everyone.

“Yes, everything is fine, and I expect you to act like a proper young lady. I don’t want to hear about you looking at the girls on the team and
making comments about their bodies or making them uncomfortable either.”

“Oh, trust me, Mrs. Karr. I have no idea which way I swing. I just want to continue swimming for the school, so I can get my second letter.” Max had her first letter, now she wants her second letter.

“We’ll see, Max.” Principal Armstrong.

Max steps out into the hallway and looks around. The superintendent and the rest of everyone wanted to talk to her mother in private. She felt weird wearing a dress but loved how the air felt against her legs.

She looks down the hallway to make sure no one was coming before she twirls around. She wanted to see how it felt with her dress lifting. She loved the way the air moved and against her privates.

She stops when she hears the door of the conference open. Her mother was the first one out with the Superintendent and his assistant following her mother.

“Is everything, okay?” Max steps close to her mother.

“Everything is fine. Let’s go home.”

“Okay.”
