San Jose State transgender women's volleyball player Blaire Fleming will be allowed to compete for the Spartans in the Mountain West Conference tournament and the rest of the season, a judge ruled on Monday.
Federal Judge Kato Crews, who was appointed by President Biden in January, denied a motion for injunctive relief in college volleyball players' lawsuit against the Mountain West Conference, according to OutKick.
Crews wrote the plaintiffs' request for an emergency delay "was not reasonable" and "would risk confusion and upend months of planning and would prejudice, at a minimum, (San Jose State) and other teams participating in the tournament."
The players, who represented several schools in the Mountain West Conference, sought to have forfeits rescinded, the standings adjusted and Fleming banned from the tournament citing First Amendment and Title IX violations.
They are guaranteed to play the semifinal and the opponent they are set to face in that match is guaranteed to be one of the four teams that refused to play them in the regular season. Utah State and Boise State are set to play in the quarterfinal match that will determine who faces the Spartans in the next round.

I think it would be so funny if, after all these teams forfeited, she came forward with a birth certificate proving she is not transgender. ;D
I am glad that the judge ruled in her favor.
