New Hampshire parent Anthony Foote was reportedly banned from school grounds after wearing pink “XX” armbands at his daughter’s soccer game, protesting a biological male playing on the opposing girls’ team.

Foote, along with other parents, wore the armbands to support girls-only sports, prompting complaints and the game’s interruption.

“My daughter’s playing in the homecoming game this weekend, and I’m banned until the 23rd,” Foote said. “I can’t watch her play in homecoming, which is ridiculous.”

The school district accused Foote of leading an intimidating protest and issued him a police-enforced trespass notice. The incident has sparked controversy over transgender athletes in school sports.

“Specifically, prior to and during the soccer game you brought and distrubuted pink armbands to parents and other attendees to protest the participation of a transgender female student on the other team,” the district told Foote in his notice.

Foote denied the accusation of a protest, and said the armbands were worn just for the game.
