“This is our first time having experienced college students watching games and asking if we can still signal their support for women. We have participated in dozens of volleyball games, track and field games, cross-country games, cross-country games and other men’s sports events, but this is the first time we have seen this type of support. We hope the trend turns to this trend and there are more people who are willing to speak out about this discomfortable woman who can be willing to play with the discomfortable woman to fit in Fox of Focke.
Bourne added that Serra’s male athletes even participated in the protests.
“We’re not sure if these signs are allowed in the game, but we waited until the pause and handed them over to the young male athletes,” she said. “We heard a young man from Sierra Academy say, ‘Yes, ma’am! Yes, madam! ‘Then, the group of young people asked her if she could hold some signs of us, too.
“We make the game feel very hopeful and there are more people willing to speak out on behalf of these girls and women affected by men.”
Fox News Digital has responded with Santa Rosa and Sierra College.
Santa Rosa previously provided a statement regarding the initial title IX complaint.

“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.

Madison claimed that last spring, she saw a ball spike across the athlete’s spike in the face of a teammate, causing a concussion.
“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.
“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.”
The two women, along with teammate Brielle Galli, filed a Chapter IX complaint with the U.S. Department of Education’s Civil Rights Office, and earlier this month Women’s Movement Independence Council (Illustrated).Their complaints say that when they spoke internally, school administrators retaliated against them against 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.

At the NCAA Level I, the women’s volleyball team at San Jose State faces controversy involving interathlete Blaire Fleming, which prompted the federal government’s federal title IX investigation into the school after President Donald Trump returned to the office earlier this year.
