On 29 October, Batie-Smoose filed a 33-page sworn declaration with officials at SJSU, the Mountain West Conference, and the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA), exhorting these bodies to investigate (1) the overt favouritism that she believes her school has shown to Fleming, at the expense of Fleming’s 18 female teammates; and (2) the unsettling measures that SJSU officials have allegedly taken in order to suppress expressions of concern from these affected women.
Until Slusser finally went public with her concerns in recent weeks, everyone involved with the SJSU women’s volleyball team seems to have been scared to even mention the fact that Fleming is transgender—despite also being required to pretend that Fleming’s biologically male status is athletically inconsequential.
