San Jose State University officials said via an emailed statement, that the school is in-line with Mountain West and NCAA rules relating to the participation of a reportedly trans athlete on the school's women's volleyball team.
A brewing controversy concerning the San Jose State University women's volleyball team has spiked fears on both sides of the cultural and political divide. Some said the recent match forfeitures by opponents represent attacks on trans-athletes, but others complain the legitimacy of women's sports is being targeted for unwanted change.Spartan volleyball is undefeated so far this season but is also under scrutiny. A teammate reported redshirt junior Blaire Fleming is transgender.
I think there’s 500 pieces of legislation against us all over the country," said Gabrielle Antolovich, board president of the Billy DeFrank LGBTQ+ Community Center.She and other trans activists and supporters said the match forfeits amount to an attack on equal rights."Title IX is a protection of women. And trans women are part of that protection," said Antolovich.
