The Spartans women’s volleyball team faced intense debate and lawsuits over a transgender player.
San Jose State takes on San Diego State during a volleyball match at San Jose State University in San Jose, Calif., on Thursday, Oct. 10, 2024.
The university was at the center of the transgender debate in sports last fall when Brooke Slusser, co-captain of the women’s volleyball team, joined a lawsuit in September accusing the NCAA of discriminating against women by allowing transgender women to compete in women’s sports. “We strongly believe that clear, consistent, and uniform eligibility standards would best serve today’s student-athletes instead of a patchwork of conflicting state laws and court decisions,” Baker said. “To that end, President Trump’s order provides a clear, national standard.”Trump signed the order on National Girls and Women in Sports Day.
“Contrary to what the president wants you to believe, trans students do not pose threats to sports, schools or this country, and they deserve the same opportunities as their peers to learn, play and grow up in safe environments,” said Fatima Goss Graves, president and CEO of the National Women’s Law Center.
“This is a solution looking for a problem,” Cheryl Cooky, a professor at Purdue University who studies the intersection of gender, sports, media and culture, told the AP after Trump was elected.
