    Frances Staudt, a high school basketball player from Tumwater, Washington, sat out her final sophomore game in February 2024 rather than compete against an opposing team that included an 18-year-old transgender female athlete (Andi Rooks).

  • The Incident: On February 6, 2024, 15-year-old Staudt and her teammate sat out their final game of the season against Shelton High School after seeing a biological male player on the opposing team and in the locker room area. [1, 2]
  • The Confrontation: Staudt stated she told the player, “You’re a man,” as she exited the situation. [1, 2]
  • The Investigation & Charges: Staudt and her family faced an investigation by the Tumwater School District and the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA). She was accused of bullying, harassment, intimidation, and "misgendering". [1, 2, 3]
  • School & State Policy: School officials and the athletic director declined to remove the player, citing Washington state law and WIAA guidelines that permit student-athletes to participate according to their gender identity. [1, 2]
  • Federal Inquiry: Staudt and her mother, Aimee, pushed back against the disciplinary review, and the U.S. Department of Education subsequently opened a federal civil rights inquiry into the Tumwater School District regarding the matter. [1, 2, 3]
  • Broader Advocacy: Staudt has since shared her story through national media appearances and active support for Washington’s ballot measures regarding biological categories in girls' sports. [1, 2, 3]
