The college volleyball controversy over a transgender player took a new twist this week when San Jose State University's women's team sued their own coach.
SJSU women's volleyball team has had multiple games in the Division-1 Mountain West Conference forfeited by other schools due to safety concerns over playing against Blaire Fleming, who is biologically male.
Amid the controversy, which has sparked national debate, some of SJSU's own players have turned on the school, filing a lawsuit against their head coach, the college and the Mountain West Conference.
The lawsuit, which was filed Wednesday, asks for Fleming to be declared ineligible for the Mountain West Conference tournament, SJSU's wins to be vacated and the team to be deemed ineligible for the conference tournament.
According to the filing, captain Brooke Slusser, who previously backed Nevada women's volleyball team for fighting against playing SJSU, has demanded that officials remove Fleming from the roster ahead of the Spartans' conference championship game in Las Vegas later this month. ......
SJSU's administrators told the volleyball team to remain silent about the issue once it became public knowledge, and said that speaking about it would be considered 'transphobic,' the suit alleges.
Some of the team's players were reportedly upset that they had not been informed of Fleming's biological gender, only discovering when rumors began to circulate on campus......
According to her teammates, Fleming spikes the ball 80 miles per hour, faster than anyone else in the conference during practice.
Slusser claims that the powerful hit puts other players at high risk of injuries, including concussions, and hands the Spartans an unfair advantage......
Another plaintiff, Alyssa Sugai, said she left the team after the player received a scholarship and took her starting spot in the lineup.

I see a tide, thank God
“transphobic”
phobic
adjective informal
having a strong dislike or hatred of something, especially in a way that is extreme or not reasonable
It is perfectly reasonable for a woman to not want to play against a man who can hurt them. Therefore “phobic” does not apply.
And as a female who’s been spiked in the face by a guy during a pick-up game of volleyball in my younger days, I can attention to the fact that it’s not tons ‘o fun.
The "biologically" is a quibble and an er uh allowance that it is only a quibble.
This division is what the left wants. They don’t care a shit about ‘trans-people’ or blacks or anyone else.
‘Smash the system’ is all they care about, so they can insert their miserable utopia.
She’s a dude brah
We live in strange times indeed. When ideology trumps common sense you get the manifold idiocies of East Germany, and as a byproduct, you ruin women’s sports.
You misspelled dystopia.

Men need to stand up for women, and women's sports. And so do gay people, transvestites, and anyone else. Some gays, probably a minority, reflexively side with the "outsiders", when "Lia" Thomas, or George Floyd, or Charles Manson "transgresses the norms", they identify because they themselves feel they are transgressing norms. Nobody cares what you do with other consenting adults. Get over yourselves. Most people find the idea of participating in homosexual sex repulsive, but little care about what you do in private. Making a fetish about your sexuality, and imposing it on others is immature, rude, and distracting. We are trying to play volleyball here, girls against girls. Go away, for Gawd's sake.
Tranny and Tyranny are linked.
It ain’t a she.
“ They aren’t saying its 80 mph faster than all the other girls...they are saying she hits it 80 mph....which is faster than any other girl in the conference. “
…. Faster than THE girls. They are saying HE hits it 80 mph, which is faster than ANY GIRL in the conference. NOW it reads correctly.
Showers and changing rooms are pretty revealing. Was your post sarcasm?
"average spiked ball speed in elite women’s volleyball players ....45.8 km/h"
45.8 = 28.45 mph
"Olympic-level men’s volleyball spikes: 70-80 mph"
That's a massive difference but to be expected.
Humans are sexually dimorphic i.e. very different between male and female, a fact the American public has been woefully ignorant of for a long time. I recall decades ago the public became excited about a new female track star (family was involved in track and field back then) and some polling organization did a survey. Among the results was that the general public thought that women would eventually become just as fast as the men. A public that ignorant is an easy target for propaganda like all the "girl power" crap of recent times.
Not sarcastic, it’s in the article
New English
Cheating = Controversy
I wonder if that thing still has the C&Bs?
