Collegiate Women’s Volleyball Players File Title IX Lawsuit Against Schools Over Trans Players
The Daily Wire ^ | November 14, 2024 | Katie Jerkovich

Posted on 11/15/2024 1:14:05 PM PST by Twotone

Collegiate women’s volleyball players filed multiple lawsuits on Wednesday against the Mountain West Conference over the inclusion of trans-identifying male players in their sport.

A dozen women have cited violations of their First Amendment rights and Title IX protections in response to San Jose State University’s biologically male star player Blaire Fleming’s participation in the MWC, prompting four schools in the conference to forfeit games against SJSU, OutKick reported.

Several of Flemings’ SJSU teammates, like Captain Brooke Slusser and two former Spartans — along with female athletes from four other colleges — are part of the suit against the conference, its commissioner and SJSU officials over the conference’s adoption of the “Transgender participation policy” in September after the first school, Boise State, forfeited its game.

The suit said that the policy is “intended to chill protests and other expressive conduct, including boycotts, on a women’s rights issue” of women athletes in the MWC. It also claims that the trans policy was adopted outside the “normal course of MW rules and procedures” and that it was an effort to prevent schools from exercising their First Amendment Rights, the outlet noted.

Thank goodness! Let’s hope they get this rectified. No way any guy should be playing any women’s sport.

Counting today’s tally of dead babies I would imagine. It’s very important to them. I can’t figure out why though?

Each collegiate women’s volleyball player should get $1M damages settlement for each from Mountain West Conference, plus triple punative damages.

It’s about damned time. Let’s hope some woke judge doesn’t get the case and throws it out.

Will no one advocate for “freedom”? I should go to DU now. Did they lift their double secret probation yet?

Let’s get real here.
There is no right for a person who is one sex to “identify” as being the opposite sex.
Drop the playing you are something else that you ain’t!
Instead of passing irrelevant laws, pass ones that stop the coddling of crazy people and put them in jail for their obstinacy!

The floating goat head in the punchbowl is the California schools in the conference. Other states have outlawed trannies in women’s sport, but CA says they’ll jail you for giving owies to trans feelings.

So, which state has the legal power over cross-border athletics?

I don’t believe that any court has ever issued a finding that boys are actually girls if they imagine themselves to be - and if litigation is conducted correctly, I don’t believe any court ever will.

The need to equate dead babies with freedom. Thanks for asking. Do you get my concern?

I hate the mother effer that just cut me off and flipped me her insanity. Don't take that lightly please. Am I free to kill her? Or do I have to be a woman that's inconvenience was just threatened? Idc if moral depraved society asks. I'm only concerned about ME. Call me a narcissistic. I shit in your hat, because I've been called wayyyy worse. Try garbage on for size. Or fascist. Or Hilter. Take your pick. I have become, comfortably numb.

Shouldn't this be a state issue, not federal?
