“It has too much power and a huge impact on my teammate’s head, which has led to a concussion, she’s been out for two weeks for a sophomore year and she’s frustrated. Obviously, the injury happened, which is inevitable, especially in a contact sport, but especially in a game, it’s one that can especially stop the male athlete,” Madison said.
Madison said his teammate was former player Kiana Walker.
“She told me (how outrageous it was) because she didn’t believe the athlete belonged to our team and now she was suffering the consequences, which really bothered her. But, unfortunately, most of our teams didn’t see the way we were. They supported the male athletes on the team.”
Meanwhile, Gracie claims she was hit in the head by a spike from a trans athlete.
“I myself was hit by this male athlete during practice in August. I was ready and I knew the male athlete was about to hit the ball, I couldn’t walk away, the ball stabbed me in the face, and it was harder than any other hit I got from the other female athletes on the team.”
“It’s really painful…it’s so fast in my face that I don’t even have time to react.”
Two women, together with teammate Brielle Galli, filed a Chapter IX complaint with the U.S. Department of Education’s Civil Rights Office last week. Their complaints say school administrators retaliated against them when they spoke internally to oppose having trans athletes on the team.
“We’ve told our coaches, our athletic director and the IX championship coordinator we want to play, and we want to be part of this team, but we don’t want to go to court when male athletes are on the team,” Madison said.
She added that school administrators were concerned about whether they would respect her request and rejected her request. Then, when Madison prepares to speak to tell his teammates that she will leave the team because of a trans athlete, her coach tells her she “can’t.”
“Our coach sent me a text message saying ‘No, you can’t tell the team your reasons are not sued, we do need to respect the privacy of male athletes,” Madison said.

Gracie added that they tried to tell the team that they decided not to attend the weightlifting meeting, but they were also stopped.
“Ironically, our coach canceled the weight at 10 p.m. before the weight meeting,” Gracy said. “It basically feels like she’s trying to silence us.”
Then, two women tried to hold a Zoom meeting to tell the team. But the coach also allegedly interfered with the meeting.
“Our coach asked her to have a connection, and she told the team that it was not a mandatory meeting and that it didn’t require attendance, which made us feel that what we wanted to say was not very important and the team didn’t have to come, and we felt that it was very wrong.”
Santa Rosa Junior College issued a statement to Fox News Digital in response to the two women’s claims.
“The Santa Rosa Junior College (SRJC) is committed to laying an inclusive and supportive environment for all students and staff. The district complies with the California Community College Athletic Association (3C2A) statute, which governs student eligibility and participates in our athletic program,” the statement said.
“We respect all students’ legal privacy rights and cannot discuss personal circumstances. We are sure that SRJC takes all reports seriously and responds through established procedures.”
