There is something happening in women's sports, something that's long overdue: teams are finally standing up to schools like San Jose State University (SJSU), that cheat by putting men on the team with the understanding those men 'identify' as women.
As I told you here, about the University of Nevada, women have no obligation to subject themselves to injury to appease the delusions of men who think they're women. Nor do they have a financial obligation to reimburse SJSU for forfeited games, as SJSU is cheating and putting women's safety at risk.
I have long argued a lot of trans activism -- especially men who 'identify' as women -- is rooted in deep, unyielding misogyny. Not the 'misogyny' the Left likes to accuse Republicans of but an actual, visceral hatred of women.
There is no other explanation for why these men demand access to women's spaces, and threaten those women with physical and sexual violence if they do not comply. These are men that could not get within ten feet of women otherwise, so they 'identify' as women to get access to women's most intimate spaces. In the case of athletics, they do so to set records and win competitions they'd lose if they played against their fellow men.
And the Left enthusiastically supports and endorses this wholesale abuse of women.
So it's not a surprise that an SJSU player was targeted with death threats for joining a lawsuit against the NCAA.

The DM said that her team needed to keep their distance from her because something bad was going to happen
So much for tolerance & inclusion...

Brooke Slusser was enjoying a normal night on campus when she got the first-ever threat against her life.
It was Oct. 2, she was just hours away from traveling to play a college volleyball game for her San Jose State Spartans at Colorado State. But then, before she drifted to sleep that night, a teammate ran to her with an urgent warning.
"One of my teammates got a DM, basically saying that she, and then my team, needed to keep my distance from me on gameday against Colorado State, because it wasn’t going to be a good situation for me to be in and that my team needed to keep their distance," Slusser told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview. "They needed to keep their distance from me during the game, because something was going to happen to me.
So much for tolerance and inclusion.
With some notable exceptions -- like J.K. Rowling -- the feminist Left are awfully silent as a woman is threatened with death for opposing men in women's sports.
These women are the civil rights campaigners of the 21st century, and they must be willing to face these consequences to make real social change. It doesn't make those consequences deserved, right, or just. But they are the price that must be paid to restore sanity and fairness to women's sports, women's locker rooms, and women's rights.
But the line should be drawn -- clearly and forcefully -- that death threats will not be tolerated. That women should be able to engage in the civic process of suing without fearing for their very lives.
Yet, from Kamala Harris on down to the lowly feminist on the street, the Left is largely silent on this.
Women drawing a line in the sand and refusing to partake in games with men is how this insanity stops. This requires bravery, and an understanding that things will get uglier before they get better. Trying to fine schools like Boise State is only the beginning. I expect lawsuits, loss of scholarships, suspensions, and even expulsions to befall women who stand up for themselves in the face of trans activism. The Left will try to make examples of them.
Instead, they will make them into heroes.
