"A few dozen people carry signs and shouting chants turned out in another show of support for a reported transgender athlete on the Santa Rosa Junior College volleyball team at Wednesday's game against American River College. The gathering was in response to several anti-trans groups marking the game as a chance to bring attention to the topic of transgender athletes in women's sports, which arose at SRJC last month when three SRJC volleyball players filed a Title IX complaint about the presence of a transgender player on the team."
"Supporters of the athlete who The Press Democrat is not naming since they have not spoken about their gender identity publicly lined the entranceway to Haehl Pavilion holding signs that read Trans Rights are Human Rights, No bans, no bigotry, just game and Respect Existence or Expect Resistance before the coalition group arrived. Beth Bourne, president of the Yolo County Moms for Liberty group and an outspoken anti-trans activist, exchanged words with several counterprotesters as they chanted Love wins in response. The scene dissolved as both groups made their way inside the gym for the game, which American River won in four sets."
A few dozen people gathered at Santa Rosa Junior College's volleyball match against American River College to support a reported transgender athlete. The gathering responded to anti-trans groups that marked the game to highlight transgender participation in women's sports after three SRJC volleyball players filed a federal Title IX complaint. Around a dozen members of opposing groups arrived with signs reading "No Child is Born in the Wrong Body" and "Stop Gaslighting Women." Supporters lined the Haehl Pavilion entrance with signs and pride flags, and an exchange occurred between Beth Bourne and counterprotesters before both groups entered. American River won the match in four sets.
