Opinion: Ruling In San Jose State Volleyball Case Reveals Farce Of Transgender Hysteria

The recent ruling in the San Jose State volleyball case has brought the issue of transgender hysteria back into the spotlight. The case involves two transgender women, who were denied the opportunity to play on the women’s volleyball team at San Jose State University.

Background

The two transgender women, Mia Ehlers and Aera Montanez, were both born male but identify as female. They have been taking hormone therapy and have had their gender legally changed. In 2019, they tried out for the women’s volleyball team at San Jose State University, but were denied a roster spot by the coach. The coach cited the NCAA’s policy, which states that transgender athletes must take testosterone suppression medication for one year before they can compete on a women’s team.

The Lawsuit

Ehlers and Montanez filed a lawsuit against San Jose State University, alleging that the NCAA’s policy discriminates against transgender athletes. The lawsuit argued that the policy is based on stereotypes and myths about transgender people, and that it does not take into account the individual circumstances of each athlete.

The Ruling

In a landmark ruling, a federal judge agreed with Ehlers and Montanez. The judge ruled that the NCAA’s policy is discriminatory and violates Title IX, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex. The judge ordered the NCAA to change its policy within 30 days.

Reaction

The ruling has been met with mixed reaction. Some people have praised the ruling as a victory for transgender athletes. Others have criticized the ruling, arguing that it will allow transgender athletes to have an unfair advantage over cisgender athletes.

The Future

The ruling in the San Jose State volleyball case is a significant step forward for transgender athletes. It is likely that the ruling will have a ripple effect, and will lead to other changes in the way that transgender athletes are treated in sports.
