New lawsuit explicitly targets San Jose State over transgender volleyball firestorm

San Jose State University’s women’s volleyball team is at the center of a new legal action over transgender women competing in women’s college sports.

A lawsuit filed Wednesday by team co-captain Brooke Slusser and others seeks a court-ordered injunction banning San Jose State from allowing a player whom Slusser identifed as transgender to compete in the Mountain West Conference championship Nov. 27-30 in Las Vegas. The lawsuit also seeks to ban the conference from allowing the player to compete in the championship.
