“Melissa Batie-Smoose, women’s volleyball associate head coach at San José State University, was suspended over the weekend after she filed a Title IX complaint asking the Mountain West Conference and the NCAA to investigate the school for discriminating against female athletes in favor of a “transgender” player, Blaire Fleming.
The male-bodied athlete has been the source of contention both for the Spartans and other schools.

Women’s volleyball teams at five universities have now chosen to forfeit six times rather than play San José State, Outkick reported. The latest, Boise State, has now forfeited twice, as women on the team refused to face a male player.”

“Back in 2013, on the day after Pope Benedict XVI resigned, 22-year-old Marguerite Stern participated in a protest by the radical feminist group Femen inside Notre Dame. With their torsos bare and painted with slogans like “Pope No More” and “Get lost, homophobe”, eight women screamed slogans before they were dragged away by security guards… She eventually became well-known in France as the founder of collages contre les féminicides, whose activists plastered walls with posters and grafitti protesting gender-based violence against women.”
