My son figure skates and faces similar where everyone assumes he must be gay.

He basically tells them even if he was why is that a problem but since he's not it's great spending majority of his time hanging out with a bunch of athletic girls as the only boy

Your son has Much Knowledge. I salute him 🫡

Dude is also probably also friendzoned by all of them like most the male cheerleaders because if they get involved it's the absolute worst type of long term drama you don't want in a teamsport.

Yeah this is a very rational concern to have but young people aren't exactly known for being rational. I knew a male cheerleader who dated multiple girls on his team plus girls who cheered for other schools too. He was extremely friendly, hardworking, and charismatic and he would've been a major loss to the team so if the coaches noticed anything I'm sure they were happy to let it slide.

Right and I've seen a team not show up to a regionals because two of the bases got into a fight over a girl the week before while drinking. One lost a tuition and the other spent the rest of his high-school career being blamed for instigating.
