Transgender Athlete Steals Yet More Glory From Women

. . .Tuesday saw the Mountain West Conference announce their volleyball awards for the regular season, and transgender player Blaire Fleming (San Jose State) was right in the mix stealing yet more glory from women.

Fleming was named to the conference’s All-Mountain West Team as an Honorable Mention, joining Spartans co-captain Brooke Slusser. Malaya Jones of Colorado State, who won the Mountain West Player of the Year, was also named an honoree.

The only two members of SJSU that received conference honors were Fleming and Slusser, most likely because they just played 12 matches on the conference schedule in the 2024 season — the other six matches they “won” due to the other teams forfeiting because they didn’t want to play against a transgender person. Fair enough.

In the Mountain West tournament, San Jose State has a bye in the first round that automatically places them in the semifinals, with their first match coming Wednesday against the winner of Utah State vs. Boise State.

What’s interesting about SJSU‘s future matchup is that both the Aggies and Broncos forfeited their squareoffs against the Spartans in the regular season. It’s not currently known whether or not the schools would forfeit again if they claim victory in their first rounder, but it’s something to pay attention to, for sure.
