Santa Rosa Junior College women's volleyball players Madison and Gracie Shaw opened up about a trans teammate allegedly hitting the ball at another player's head, causing a concussion.
Women's volleyball players at Santa Rosa Junior College have recently come forward to file a Title IX complaint about their experience with a biological male transgender teammate.
Two of the female athletes that signed the complaint, Madison Shaw and Gracie Shaw, told Fox News Digital about alleged physical harm caused by the trans teammate.
Madison alleged, last spring, she saw the trans athlete spike a ball in her teammate's face so hard, that it caused a concussion.

"It had so much force and so much impact with my teammate's head that it resulted in a concussion, she was out for two weeks of her sophomore year, and she was upset. And obviously, injuries happen, it's inevitable, especially in a contact sport, but this one particularly could have been prevented by not having this male athlete on the team," Madison said.
Madison said the teammate was former player Kiana Walker.
"She was telling me how infuriating (it was) because she didn't believe this athlete belonged on our team and now that she's suffering the consequences, it really bothered her. But, a majority of our team, unfortunately, doesn't see it the way we see it. They support the male athlete being on the team."
Meanwhile, Gracie alleged she herself was struck in the head by one of the trans athlete's spikes.
"I myself got hit in the face by this male athlete in practice in August. I was ready, I knew this male athlete was about to hit the ball, and I couldn't move out of the way and the ball spiked me in the face
