Judge says reportedly trans volleyball player may compete
Briefly

U.S. District Judge S. Kato Crews ruled against the plaintiffs on the basis that the situation was not an emergency; the conference has had the same policy on transgender athletes since 2022, and Crews wrote in the decision, 'There is no evidence to suggest they were precluded from seeking emergency relief earlier.' This ruling emphasizes the stability of existing policies regarding transgender athletes, indicating that competitors cannot seek injunctions without urgent justification.
The plaintiffs alleged that her playing on the team denied cisgender women 'equal opportunities.' Despite these claims, one of SJSU's co-captains noted in a recent interview that while she fears her teammate could injure her or another player, she has never actually been injured beyond routine bumps and bruises, indicating that the concerns may not be entirely grounded in physical evidence.
