They could make an airbud type movie like this
Nowhere in the rules says a woman with a penis can't play basketball, in fact the rule book is very light on the mention of genitals at all!
The NBA and NFL both allow women, it's just at that level it is extremely hard to find anyone who can compete.

He should slam dunk on those fools. Check and rebound. Can't take the heat... get out of the way girls.
It really sounds like somebody in the Queen Creek School District wanted to make a political issue out of him. Presumably, as cited in the article, the state law they pointed to enacted in 2022, which mandates that school sports teams must be designated “based on the biological sex of the students who participate” in the sport. It doesn't matter where you are in the political aisle, it's pretty shameless to exploit this politically, even if it's just so they can go "look at how senseless this law is!" by making an issue out of its strictest interpretation.
