A San Jose State University volleyball player is at the center of controversy over transgender athletes. Here’s what we know
CNN ^ | Nov 30, 2024 | Taylor Romine

San Jose State University will face Colorado State Saturday at the Mountain West Conference tournament final in women’s volleyball after a months-long controversy and ongoing legal challenges claiming there is a transgender player on the team.

Over the last several months, multiple teams in the Mountain West Conference, as well as one other team, refused to play against San Jose State. The dispute continued as several athletes from various schools in the conference filed a federal lawsuit earlier this month seeking to stop a San Jose State player from competing in championship games.......

Neither the player in question nor San Jose State University have commented publicly on the player’s gender. CNN is not naming the player since she has not publicly discussed her gender and declined to comment through a university official.

Colorado State advanced to the finals of the Mountain West Conference after beating San Diego State Friday. The team has already played San Jose State twice this season. On Friday, Colorado State coach Emily Kohan told The Associated Press her team plans to play in Saturday’s final match.......

In the months after the article was published, Slusser complained to team staffers that her teammate’s participation “was not fair to the girls and put them at physical risk,” and warned them that other teams in the conference would not play against them, according to the lawsuit.

There is a lack of significant research – and scientific consensus – on whether trans athletes, particularly trans women, have an athletic advantage over their cisgender peers, even after they have undergone testosterone-reducing therapies. Though research is ongoing, a 2017 review in the journal Sports Medicine found “no direct or consistent research” showing trans people have an advantage.

What BS, lack of research. There's lots of research that males and females have different muscle and bone mass giving males physical advantages.

Well, right in the headline they did admit “Here’s what we know.” With CNN, you can be assured that is nothing. :)

All you’ve gotta do is go back to that classic scene in Crocodile Dundee:

“That’s a guy dressed up like a shelia!”

And the mandarins of education have no idea, no idea at all, why “follow the science” is in such disrepute with the public citizenry. The clowns cannot even identify what a woman is.

The “follow the science” crowd does phony research and rigs the studies—and thinks we don’t notice.

We notice.

There is a lack of honesty at CNN and most of the media.

In better days long gone American explorers used to get off the boat in whatever benighted forgotten land they found they found themselves shocked and amazed with the weird, creepy and murderous customs of the ignorant tribes they encountered. In these fallen days the West is the forgotten land of tribal depravity, sexual perversion and needless death with other parts of the world being shocked and amazed.

The tranny’s coach has accused him of conspiring with a player from an opposing team to take out one of his own team members. They are always violent and mentally ill.

If they were smart, Colorado should forfeit the championship game, and instead, go to the gym and play an unofficial championship match against Boise, who just forfeited their match against SJS.

That would go down in women's college volleyball history.....

The British sports council studied the issue and came to the conclusion that you can be fair or you can be inclusive, but you can not be both. Hormones do not chang lung volumes, or cardiac out put. To factors in endurance . Biological males have, on average, a 5% upper body strength after transitioning, of course to these morons none of that research counts.

I’ll bet you a dollar the “research” sited is a case of wanting the right (woke) conclusion, then working the data to reach that conclusion.

We see the same thing with the Climate Change hoax.

on average 30% stronger

women spike the ball at 40-50 mph, males 80 mph

it is physically and menatlly abusing women to ask them to play against males in sports

this is not up for debate

however, the states power is measured by their ability to advocate for an argue against the absurd without resistance and where resistance happens squash it with publically with extreme predudice and penalty for anyone who should appose in this absurd case violence against women

this is a communist insurgency

Britain is jailing people for wrong think. That is where this is going without a revolt. Trump is that revolt, politially for now.

As I have said before I wish someone would buy a WNBA team and have all the players be trans. Michelle Jordan, Charline Barkley, they/them would win every game, by at least 50 points, and sweep the playoffs, and then watch how they try to celebrant this

One other point, if there is no difference show me the trans men who have set any records or won any metals

As I recall a group of male teenagers destroyed the women’s national team and somewhere a bunch of old dudes beat a women’s team something like 12-1

This article shows the MSM has no intention of changing how they operate following the disastrous (to them) election.

Genesis 1:27 says, “God created humankind in His own image, in the image of God He created them, male and female He created them.” Considering God is in charge of everyone’s next breath, some people need to get with the program!

“no direct or consistent research showing trans people have an advantage.”

If that were true, we would have as many real women pretending to be men playing on men’s teams and setting records…QED.

Another point to make is the trans athlete is being strongly supported. Their acceptance on the team is through strong arm tactics and they stay on the team even though nobody wants them there.

Why?

Because they trans athletes as in effect communist agents. They should all be named Rosa Klebb. They are paid to remain with impunity, those apposing face loss of employment and jail.

This was the plan all along. The communist state demonstrating its power for all to see. A warning to all, we can hurt you if you open your fkng mouth.

WHERE ARE THE MEN IN THIS COUNTRY?! Why are men sitting back and letting this happen to their daughters. I’ll tell you, if they open their mouths they will be hurt badly and they know it.

Trump is going to fix this day one and head stomp the communists behind this absurd but deadly power play.
