Former UPenn swimmer Lia Thomas spoke about the controversy surrounding San Jose State women's volleyball and transgender player Blaire Fleming.
Lia Thomas, the transgender swimmer who won a women’s national championship in 2022, empathized with San Jose State’s Blaire Fleming, who's at the center of the latest controversy in the sport. Fleming’s participation with the San Jose State women’s volleyball team sparked criticism and lawsuits over a transgender player in the sport. Thomas reacted to the controversy in an interview with ESPN. 'It can be just extremely invasive and dehumanizing,' Thomas told the outlet.
Judge Kato Crews wrote the plaintiffs’ request for an emergency delay 'was not reasonable' and 'would risk confusion and upend months of planning and would prejudice, at a minimum, and other teams participating in the tournament.' Crews’ ruling allowed Fleming to play in the tournament, and forfeits remain as losses. Boise State, Wyoming, Utah State and Nevada were among the Mountain West schools to cancel games against San Jose State due to Fleming’s presence on the team.
