Women’s rights groups, which generally spring from the left, have failed miserably in protecting women’s rights from aggressive trans activism. Trans activism is once again pitted against women’s rights in this story.
“Volleyball team forfeits instead of facing transgender foe”, by Dan Bilicki, Toronto Sun, October 1, 2024:
For the third time this season, the San Jose State women’s volleyball team saw its opponent forfeit rather than take the floor.
The team from the University of Wyoming announced that it would forfeit its match instead of facing the Spartans, who field a transgender player on their squad.
“After a lengthy discussion, the University of Wyoming will not play its scheduled conference match against San Jose State University,” the volleyball program said in a statement on Tuesday. “Per Mountain West Conference policy, the conference will record the match as a forfeit and a loss for Wyoming.”
Wyoming joined Boise State and Southern Utah to forfeit instead of facing SJSU, but none of the three schools gave a specific reason for the forfeit.
Blaire Fleming, a transgender female, competes on San Jose State’s team. She is a redshirt junior who plays as an outside and right-side hitter. Fleming has played two seasons at SJSU after previously playing at Coastal Carolina….
LETS GOOOO. University of Wyoming is the third school to forfeit their match against SJSU because they have a man on their women’s team
This is the way. Do not comply. Major kudos to @WYO_Volleyball @BroncoSportsVB @SUUVolleyball 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼https://t.co/xhmh9SxS4k

The clash between women’s rights and the demands of transgenders was exhibited in San Francisco last year, when trans rights activists actually protested against a women’s liberation group convention.
An insightful report, Impacts of Transgender Activism on the Human Rights of Women, covers, among other issues: “the impact on the safety of women, the loss of women’s safe spaces, the impact on women’s participation in sport and culture, the impact on women’s prisons, the skewing of crime statistics; and also the erasure of lesbian community, and the dangers of hormone interventions on children.”
The root problem started with the insane view that women can do anything men can do, and vice versa. The natural, God-given and complimentary differences between men and women were never appreciated in the woke religion. The trans agenda has now brought us regretful (and embarrassing) outcomes including tampons in male bathrooms, a Planned Parenthood doctor telling Congress that men can get pregnant, and women being forced to compete against biological men in sports. Extreme trans activism has also muddied the definition of the psychotic classifications in psychiatry; psychosis is defined in general terms as a break from reality.
Kudos to the University of Wyoming women’s volleyball team and shame on San Jose State and other women’s sports teams across the board who sacrifice women at the alter of wokeism.
Eric says
Good on ‘em.
somehistory says
In simple terms, they refuse to play with a male….who can easily hurt them.
It has happened to other girls who were made to play with a whiny, lying, male opponent, who then used his male strength against the weaker players.
Kudos to the girls for refusing to give in to this evil balderdash.
Emilie Green says
Correct approach. Do not comply with the lunacy.
Forfeiting games will de-legitimate the whole farce.

“Woman’s sport for women”
should be a standard cry but it might upset the lefty feminists
Them went into the Field ,played a good game but They lost to us who are always We
it sounds like “My name is Legion” syndrome-not to be confused with legionaire’s disease
I have “My name is Legion” syndrome and i wish to identify as the XXXIII Legion:the entire legion
i want you to accept me as a Legion;an actual Legion
We are here -all 6000 of us.That’s Maximus,That’s mimimus…flatulus,chondrus crispus,marcus.marcellus,.crismus…………………………….and the last guy is…bob.

KUDOS to the Wyoming team.
‘Transgender’ is a fraud, a charade, a mental illness.
People cannot change their DNA/chromosomes no matter what kind of drugs they take, surgery they have or all the wishful and delusional thinking they can muster.
MD Anthony says
Real Genetic Women have standing to object to Men pretending to be women. Genetic men have no standing to object.
GE says
San Jose State is another cesspool of leftist rot.
My niece and her husband attended there and they drank the kool aid.
Now they’re estranged from half the family who don’t buy in to the progressive lunacy.
somehistory says
You have my sympathy, GE. I don’t know anyone in my family tree who believes that big lie foisted on…mostly the young…people. Tearing the family apart is why it’s being done; why the claims are made.
It once was that a male who dressed like a woman was considered mentally ill. Many of them would hang around bars hoping to be picked up by other males.
Now, they join women’s sports, hoping to beat up on the young women, get praise, awards and even money.

So sorry to hear this, GreekEmpress. I have family members like this, as well.

Good for them! The more women’s sports teams nationwide do this, the harder it will be for Trannie activists to keep pushing their 💩 on the rest of us
I do hope that most women follow the example of Riley Gaines, who while endorsing Trump, said, “Kamala wants us to vote for her b’cos she’s a woman. But I plan to vote for Trump b’cos I am a woman!”
Just wipe out Kamala’s gender gap advantage w/ women!
tgusa says
Women of the past rightfully marched for Women’s rights. The left today march for Women’s rights for men pretending to be Women. Real Women of today have a fight on their hands. My advice to them is get going girls.
tgusa says
Real Women are great. There is almost nothing that I can do with a Man that I cannot do with a Woman. On the other had there are a number of things I can do with a Woman that I would never do with a Man.
tgusa says
“On the other had there are a number of things I can do with a Woman that I would never do with a Man.”
No, don’t jump to conclusions on that. I am talking about things like holding hands while walking in the rain. Just hanging out at home head on head talking to each other. Going out to eat together at a nice intimate restaurant. There are lots of other things besides those as well.

Thanks. I tried to make the post as ambiguous as I could in my follow-up comment.
Anat Hochberg says
Transgender women 9former males) may feel like women, but their body build and strength remains male. They should not play on female teams! If they want sports, let them play in male teams, where they belong physically (even when they have girl’s face).
drew webb says
They may think they are a woman but can they think like a woman
CalvinsLutheran says
Trannies need to go to jail and play Aretha Franklin’s “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman.” There are plenty of guys there waiting to give them accommodation. In order to be a man or woman you have to start at the molecular level then progressively work your way back up to adulthood. Pretty tall order. Of course then you’ll need Somebody to breathe your new soul gender and all into that new body. Even taller order. Easier route might be REINCARNATION. That’s about it for options.
Andrew Blackadder says
I posted often years ago when this men playing in female sports nonsense started and I suggested that when the girls are all standing on the starting line and the starting gun goes off to just stand still and let the guy swim, run, jump, on his own and then wait five minutes and fire the starting gun again and let the girls compete.
This may embarrass the guy, though I doubt it, but he can swim, run, jump on his own time and be pleased with himself.
Reading lately that female teams and refusing to engage is the way to deal with this insanity.
Notice it is always males wishing to compete in female sports but not females wishing to compete in male sports.
Ben says
I have heard women say that they are just as good as men. So i don’t get it why they don’t want to play against transgender opponents. Aren’t women strong and independent boss babes ??? In fact the whole male and female category in sports should be abolished and there should be only one category open for all. That’s true gender equality and many women wanted to have gender equality. So give it to them and they shouldn’t whine about the consequenced. I also don’t believe that prisoners should be seperated based on gender. Male and female prisoners should be locked up together. Also there should be no seperate male and female showers in gyms. Let them all shower together. Long live gender equality.
David Pimentel says
Are you truly suggesting that the idiocy of a minority of women spanning many years.should determine the general consequence for the larger group? I hope not because that’s just foolish nonsense.

I’m hoping he is just pointing out the absurdity by being absurd
tgusa says
Yes he was 40 rounds.Clever. Absurdity or fact. It is hard to tell these days isn’t it? That is both a fact and an absurdity as well as a disgrace.
gravenimage says
This from Ben is just ludicrous. This is like telling Flyweight and Featherweight boxers that they are not equal to other men unless they regularly go up against Heavyweight competitors.
And it’s “consequences”, not “consequenced”–showing that Ben is perhaps not as equal to educated posters here as he might have hoped…
Ice says
Nice job for standing your ground. It’s beyond the scope of my understanding that we’re even having this problem. Everyone knows that transgenders are mentally ill and really have no place in a competent, sane civilization. They should be rounded up and taken care of.
OLD GUY says
If you’re a guy and you think you are a women you need to look between your legs.
Troybeam says
Getting to the point women only….DNA test on every woman to weed out males with inferior complex that cannot compete against other men. To protect the women players from men that state they are female from injuring the players by male genetic strength.
Ralph says
Why must the media, even the conservative media, insist on referring to transgender women born men as “She”? This is lunacy. Biologically, such critters are males. Refer to them as “He” or at least “It”.
Mike says
They might freak out though, like the trans woman in a video store who got upset at being misgendered by staff.
They were later referred to as “Macho Ma’am Tranny Savage.”
bill says
Any doctor who claims that men can get pregnant has no right to practice medicine and should be struck off without recourse
