Laker Jackson “has been enrolled in QCUSD since elementary school and has been registered as a biological female throughout their time in our district,” the district’s statement read in part. “The day before basketball tryouts, the parent submitted a new birth certificate and a doctor’s note indicating a gender change. Our schools rely on a student’s original birth certificate at birth to determine athletic eligibility […] We informed the parent that documentation such as a chromosome analysis could be considered to help support or verify eligibility in accordance with policy.”
Becky Jackson told KNXV that the cheapest option for genetic testing her family was able to find would cost them $1,500 — with no guarantee that her son would be granted eligibility. “So who’s going to pay for that?”
$1500 for that?!
All those ancestry dna places are only like $100-150 and they tell you a helluva lot more than just your biological sex.
The medical labs probably don’t walk away from it with a perpetual license to monetize your DNA however they see fit
Yeah but those are privacy invasive and only for entertainment use. Those tests shouldn’t be used for anything medical
Yeah that seemed pretty steep.
