Have a look at the bio, age and real gender of softball player Marissa Rothenberger
Reduxx recently brought attention to Marissa Rothenberger, a transgender high school softball player in Minnesota who is a biological male and has achieved success on the field as a pitcher.
Marissa Rothenberger is a transgender (biological male) high school softball player who, as a sophomore, assisted Champlin Park in winning 14 consecutive games.
Who is Marissa Rothenberger, Champlin Park high school transgender softball player, bio, real name, gender, age, height, stats and Instagram
Marissa Rothenberger led her sixth-ranked Champlin Park squad to a 2-0 shutout victory over seventh-ranked Maple Grove earlier this week, demonstrating her continuous dominance. The Minnesota High School Fastpitch Softball Coaches Association is the source of the Class 4A rankings.
Marissa Rothenberger who is a biological male identifying as trans standing at 6 feet is a 2026 graduate and right-handed pitcher from Brooklyn Park, MN and goes to the Champlin Park High School. At the age of 7, he started pitching and has improved over the years resulting in a 1st team All State award in my sophomore season. His pitching strengths include a wicked drop ball along with a nasty change up.
The mother of Rothenberger “applied to the Hennepin County District Court to alter his birth certificate shortly after his 9th birthday and the petition was approved, and Rothenberger was issued a new birth certificate showing that he was born female and altering his name from Charlie Dean to Marissa.
Marissa has two major goals: playing Division 1 softball in college and becoming a physical therapist with her currently competing in women softball competitions.

Screen for sex. Birth certificates can be changed. Sex can't be.

According to statistics on the Minnesota Softball Hub, the performance by Marissa Rothenberger against a club with a.364 batting average put him at 4-1 for the season with 32 innings pitched, 52 strikeouts, and a 0.88 ERA. There were no game-specific statistics available.
Wrong heading, I’ll fix it.

There‘s no such thing as female sports.

Although two of the top four teams don’t seem to have statistics available, so that ranking could not be correct, Maple Grove had the third-best team batting average among the top 10 teams in Class 4A.
Among Class 4A pitchers, the 52 strikeouts this season rank 20th. In 69 ⅓ innings, the leader has amassed 133. Once more, it’s unclear how accurate and comprehensive the Minnesota Softball Hub’s statistics are.
The supremacy of Rothenberger is simply the most recent example of trans athletes grabbing media attention. Although President Donald Trump signed an executive order effectively prohibiting biological males from participating in women’s sports as one of his first actions as president, the problem has persisted.
The next event is a fencing tournament in Maryland, the U.S. Masters swim meet in San Antonio, or a high school track meet in Oregon. The recurring theme is the victory of a transgender athlete in a women’s sporting event by a biological male.
The problem of trans athletes in women’s sports is spreading beyond the field to the realm of consumer brands. Nike is reportedly funding research to determine the amount of “gender-affirming care” required to level the playing field between young transitioning male athletes and their female counterparts, but the company is refusing to comment on the matter.
Documents Reduxx was able to collect show that shortly after Rothenberger’s ninth birthday, his mother “applied to the Hennepin County District Court to alter his birth certificate.”
