A federal judge ruled Monday that a member of the San Jose State women’s volleyball team, who’s been at the center of a transgender controversy, can participate in the Mountain West Conference tournament that begins Wednesday, according to The New York Times.
Judge S. Kato Crews, an appointee of President Biden to the U.S. District Court in Colorado, made the decision amid a national transgender controversy over Blaire Fleming, a redshirt senior who joined the Spartans in 2022.
“San José State University will continue to support its student-athletes and reject discrimination in all forms,” the university said in a statement to OutKick after the ruling. “All San José State University student-athletes are eligible to participate in their sports under NCAA and Mountain West Conference rules.
“We are gratified that the Court rejected an eleventh-hour attempt to change those rules. Our team looks forward to competing in the Mountain West volleyball tournament this week.”
The Mountain West women’s volleyball championship also features Fresno State, San Diego State, Utah State, Boise State and Colorado State.
Boise State and Utah State, among other teams, previously canceled games this season against the Spartans, a Division I team, giving SJSU six wins by forfeit.

Neither the Post nor ESPN will “name” the player, despite his being over 18.
Bob Dole would like to know
Opposing Real Women’s teams should and will boycott playing against a man.
He is physically dangerous to them.
From the article: “San José State University will continue to support its student-athletes and reject discrimination in all forms . . .”
The dictionary definition of the verb “discriminate”
1). make an unjust or prejudicial distinction in the treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of ethnicity, sex, age, or disability
2) recognize a distinction; differentiate
By the second definition, every university (including SJS) that has separate men’s and women’s athletic teams is engaging in discrimination (and that’s discrimination in a good and rational form, if we’re going to talk about “all forms”).
By the first definition, a judgment as to whether a school that excludes an individual from a women’s team because he has XY chromosomes is unjust will vary from person to person depending on their beliefs in the realms of politics, sociology and science, among other things. It seems clear from the actions of the other teams in the conference that the majority of those involved do not find that course of action unjust and thus discriminatory in that sense.
Completely justifiable as long as Billy ‘identifies’ as an 8-year-old (and Adam Sandler can certainly do a good 8-year-old),
Yes...... now that’s the ticket!!
PRETTY SURE YOU ARE RIGHT
