Following all the controversy swirling around transgenderism, you would think that this outrageous act couldn’t possibly have happened. Of course, the person charged must be proven guilty of sexual abuse. But knowing the mental issues of the transgender community and the other disgusting abuses that have occurred, I think this one is true.
During a wrestling match on December 6, Keeler competed in the 190-pound weight class against an opponent from Emerald Ridge High School. Video from the bout appears to show Keeler in visible distress. According to her testimony, the opponent, a transgender-identifying boy, forcefully inserted his fingers into her private area during a move, causing her to feel violated and disoriented. Keeler later said she allowed herself to be pinned in order to end the match and escape the situation. ‘I didn’t really know what to do or how to handle that situation. I just wanted the match to be over,’ Keeler said.
Although Keeler’s mother filmed a video on her phone, the sheriff’s department said the evidence was inconclusive.
But the malfeasance by the schools is deplorable. Keeler and her mother reported this attack to the Puyallup School District and to coaches; schools are required to report this type of crime within 48 hours. But the report wasn’t made for two months, and only the day after, a reporter contacted the school district regarding the matter.
Keeler feels she was twice-violated: besides the physical attack, no one told her that her competitor was a trans (biological male) woman.
After Keeler reported the attack to her coach, the following was his response:
‘I most certainly would not put Kallie on the mat if I thought she was competing with a male,’ Keeler’s coach replied. ‘I will investigate this and look to see if we have a video on our end. I will touch base with you either this afternoon or tomorrow morning after I do my due diligence.’ However, Keeler’s family said they never heard back from the school. Additionally, the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office did not receive a formal report until Jan. 30.
Emerald Ridge High School has been overly accommodating to its trans students:
Emerald Ridge High School was previously accused of allowing two trans students to use the girls’ locker room. [Undivided podcast host Brandi] Kruse reported on Jan. 23 that several female students told the school’s principal and vice principal that they felt uncomfortable and believed the trans students were watching them change. According to Outkick, one of the two students in question is the same student who allegedly tried to violate Keeler in December.
Brandi Kruse even consulted wrestling experts about the alleged attack:
To assess whether the contact could have been accidental, reporter Brandi Kruse consulted wrestling experts with decades of experience. After reviewing the video, the experts concluded that the position executed did not require the type of contact alleged. They noted that in similar situations, a wrestler typically grips the opponent’s thigh or knee rather than making prolonged contact in a prohibited area.
The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights is also investigating for Title IX violations.
People who have been fighting the transgender fraud for years are appalled that these kinds of encounters are still taking place. Too often, biological men who call themselves transgender are mentally disturbed. Too often their “gender affirming” treatment doesn’t deal with their mental issues. And now young women are being attacked as these treatments persist. Here’s one person who speaks the truth:
‘The allegations in this case are sickening. While the District may prioritize ideological agendas over the safety and dignity of its students, the Trump Administration will not tolerate such conduct.’
— Kimberly Richey, Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, U.S. Department of Education (OutKick)

So, No male should be wrestling with any female period.
However.... There is a wrestling move known as an " Oil Check" that involves fingering a delicate area.
Not a joke.

Male wrestlers don't have that option.
Or shouldn't .
Addendum.
I unfortunately checked the inter webs, and it is a thing in female wrestling.

The daughter of one of my California cousins gained some local notoriety by beating a boy in wrestling, though I'm not sure at which age. She started at an early age. She is now a wife and mother whose kids are not yet old enough to go out for wrestling. Last time I saw her, a couple of years ago, I brought up the wrestling and she said one of the opposing school coaches had put up a motivational poster in their locker room that featured her on account of how she had beaten a boy.
She and her numerous siblings, all boys, are mostly conservative people. I'm not sure I would have wanted my daughter or sons to take part in mixed sex wrestling, though. Our daughter is the only one who had any interest in high school athletics, but as far as I know we don't have such a thing as mixed sex wrestling around here. I did a little wrestling myself back in high school and college but didn't accomplish anything worth writing about. My college letter might still be gathering dust somewhere, but I never wore it on account of I didn't want to explain to anyone how I barely earned it. There was no mixed sex wrestling in those days that I ever heard of. No trannie wrestling, either.
