Brooke Slusser, a co-captain on the San Jose State women's volleyball team, is in her senior year and she's getting more attention for what she's doing off the court than her performance on it, but she wouldn't change that. The Spartans' season has been overshadowed by controversy surrounding a transgender teammate, who Slusser says she once lived with and called a friend.
"There's many times that we're having to try and dodge the balls that are coming at our faces," Slusser said. "I've had bruises on my thighs for weeks."Bumps, bruises and minor injuries are coming in division I volleyball as is practicing against men, but when pressed, Slusser said she has never been injured to the point of coming off the court. In total, there are approximately 500,000 NCAA female athletes; trans-female athletes account for less than 50.
