Did the person meet the requirements according to the state's guidelines?
If yes, then it is legit.
You should suggest that the state implement stricter guidelines, not be mad at the competitor.
Actually, the state does not have any guidelines. They outsourced that to districts.
With respect to interscholastic athletics, Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association will rely on the gender determination by the student's district; it will not make separate gender determination.
If students athletes, their parents or coaches from other districts have issues with this student's eligibility, they don't have any recourse.

If it were my child doing this... I would sit him down and explain to him why it was wrong.

Long ago, we had a thing called sports. The best people at sports were all biologically male. So we created a second category of women's sports so women could excel.These categories are all based on biology. It has nothing to do with whether you want to wear a dress, wear long hair, wear high heels etc.
In my mind, we should treat men and women equally in all walks of life except for sports. The idea that if you feel effeminate you are a woman and if you feel masculine you are a man is sexist as hell. Men can be nurses. Women can work in construction. Caitlyn Jenner is not a woman she's a transgender woman aka a man that likes to wear 'women's' clothes (but in my mind, there is no such thing as women's clothes).
