Female athletes 'blindsided' on volleyball court with trans player prompts civil rights complaint, lawsuit
Macy Petty, a Concerned Women for America legislative assistant and an NCAA college volleyball player, discusses the controversy surrounding San Jose State University's volleyball team.
EXCLUSIVE: Concerned Women of America (CWA) is leading the charge to safeguard women's sports after an athlete on the San Jose State University (SJSU) women's volleyball team was identified as a transgender player.
Blaire Fleming's towering 6-foot-1 presence on the volleyball court has assisted SJSU's Division I volleyball team to remain undefeated on the court this season.
Macy Petty, a CWA legislative assistant and a NCAA volleyball athlete, shared with Fox News Digital the organization's efforts to raise awareness of transgender players' impact on women's sports.
"We want to protect the integrity of women's sports but also the safety of these female athletes," she said. "Many of these schools were unaware that there was a male athlete on this team until this news article came out in April. We just want to make sure that these schools know exactly what is going on in this athletic program because the NCAA and SJSU had not previously given them the decency to even let them know what was happening."
"Female athletes were put in this odd position of showing up on the court and looking at the other side and realizing that something was different about this game. I've never seen an athlete play like this before, which makes total sense considering that this athlete, first of all, is not female, but the net is seven inches shorter than it should be for male players."
