Federal judge makes decision on whether trans volleyball player Blaire Fleming can play at upcoming tournament

An attempt to block transgender volleyball player Blaire Fleming from competing in the upcoming San Jose State playoffs has been rejected by a federal judge, according to reports.

The New York Times revealed Monday that the judge has given the green light for Fleming, who is a biological male, to compete in the postseason with the SJSU women’s team despite the controversy surrounding their inclusion.

A host of players from colleges in the same conference as the Spartans, the Mountain West, had filed a lawsuit seeking to ban the redshirt senior from the tournament.

Multiple opponents have declined to play the Spartans this season due to player safety concerns.
