(2) A female, girls, or womens team or event shall be for those students who are biological females. (3) A coeducational or mixed team or event shall be open for participation by biological females and biological males. B.

D. Nothing in this Chapter is intended to prevent any school from implementing or maintaining a coeducational or mixed athletic team or sporting event which is open to both biological males and biological females so long as a female, girls, or womens athletic team or sporting event is not disbanded for the purpose of creating a coeducational or mixed team or event which would thereby result to the detriment of students of the female biological sex.
