Collegiate Women’s Volleyball Players File Title IX Lawsuit Against Schools Over Trans Players

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.
