Adult athletes have filed a complaint against the NCAA after the girls were “blinded” by the addition of a transgender person for the San Jose State University children’s volleyball team. According to Fox News, the lawsuit was brought by Concerned Women of America ( CWA ) after the NCAA approved 6-foot-one Blaire Fleming, who identifies as a woman, to play for San Jose this year without disclosing that he would be doing so.
According to CWA member Macy Petty,” We want to protect the integrity of children’s activities as well as the security of these sexual athletes.”
Up until this news article appeared in April, many of these schools were conscious that a female athlete was a part of this team,” Petty continued. Because the NCAA and SJSU had never previously given them the civility to even let them know what was happening, we really want to make sure that these institutions are aware of exactly what is happening in this sport system.
Female athletes were put in the peculiar place of showing up on the court, looking at the other part, and realizing that there was a unique aspect to this game, according to Petty. ” I’ve never seen an gymnast perform like this before, which makes total sense considering that this gymnast, first of all, is not feminine, but the internet is seven feet shorter than it should be for female people”.
Petty added that the female players feel “blindsided” by the NCAA and San Jose because they were never told of Fleming’s position and participation.
” Neither the schools nor the female athletes here have received educated consent.” They’re completely blindsided when they walk up to the court, and they see that there’s a female sportsman on the other side”, Petty exclaimed.
Petty continued,” Females must weigh their safety and dignity on the one hand and a$ 100, 000 sports scholarship on the other.
Look at the strength and height of this man person, Blaire Fleming, from today’s San Jose State women’s tennis game between the Iowa Hawkeyes and the San Jose State.
Is it acceptable for these people to be dominated by a subpar men player despite their best efforts? @NCAAVolleyball @icons_women @WomenAreReals … pic. twitter.com/sk8Bpg13Aq
