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.

Where did that definition come from? A phobia is an unreasonable or irrational fear of something. Not a dislike or hatred.
Because Trump will soon be President.
In the physical sciences, phobia is a repulsive force and philia is an attractive one. Think hydrophobic or hydrophilic.
In the world today language is fungible.
No. In that sentence, is this portion:
...Fleming spikes the ball 80 miles per hour, faster than anyone else in the conference during practice....
^^
There is a a comma following “hour,” so read that as “hour, which is faster.”
Writer of the piece should have put an additional comma after “conference,” which may have made for less confusion in some readers.
AND the TRANNY TOOK A SCHOLARSHIP FROM A REAL FEMALE
The left labels all legitimate concerns a “phobia”, i.e. irrational. If you fear that Muslims who publicly state they want to kill you might actually kill you then that’s supposedly an irrational fear.

Let’s eat, Grandma!
Commas are important.
Commas save lives. ;D
