The mother of a Division I volleyball player who will face a male athlete this season said the NCAA is threatening her daughter’s safety by allowing a transgender person to compete against women.  “They have worked so hard for this, and to have that stripped away, to play with a male athlete, is unthinkable,” Idaho mom April Chainey told The Daily Signal. “It’s unconscionable that the NCAA allows them to be unsafe and have an unfair advantage.”  Biological male volleyball player Blaire Fleming—born Brayden, according to Reduxx—has led California’s San Jose State University in an undefeated season. In San Jose’s Thursday match against the University of San Francisco, Fleming had 11 kills, two aces, and two blocks. The San Jose Spartans beat the San Francisco Dons 3-0, bringing the Spartans’ record for the season to 7-0. Fleming is a 6’1″ redshirt junior. The volleyball athlete transferred from Coastal Carolina University in South Carolina before the 2021-2022 season. In May 2022, the Save Women’s Sports Act took effect in South Carolina, prohibiting biological males from competing in girls’ and women’s sports. California law allows transgender-identifying athletes to compete on teams in accordance with their gender identity. Chainey’s daughter has diligently worked her way to the Division 1 level, the mother said, but that’s not why she decided to speak out.  “It’s so much bigger than her or her Nevada team or the Mountain West Conference,” Chainey said. “It comes down to the NCAA not making a safe and fair, level playing field for our women athletes in collegiate sports.”  Males have a biological advantage over women in volleyball that endangers women, she said.  For example, high school volleyball player Payton McNabb suffered a concussion and neck injury in November 2022 after a transgender opponent spiked the ball in her face at an estimated 76 mph. “I know firsthand the mental and physical toll it takes for female volleyball players to be faced with a male athlete who not only has an obvious physical advantage, but poses a physical threat,” McNabb told The Daily Signal. “It’s disappointing to see the NCAA yet again sacrificing safety and putting the burden on the backs of high-level female athletes to say, ‘Enough is enough.’”  Chainey fears that young women who play against Fleming could receive life-altering injuries similar to those suffered by McNabb. “I am scared for every single player that has to play against them, because there’s that potential of a higher risk,” Chainey said. “The ball is moving faster. It’s stronger. Every male person is biologically made bigger, faster, and stronger.” The net in men’s volleyball is over a foot higher to compensate for the increased velocity, jump height, and power men have. Even men would be more likely to get concussions if they played volleyball against each other with a women’s net height, according to Marshi Smith of the Independent Council on Women’s Sports.  “When you lower the net and allow a male to play against women whose bone density is lower, who are actually more susceptible to concussion than men in general,” Marshi said, “you’re increasing risk of harm during impact, and so it becomes a really dangerous situation.”  San Jose State was supposed to play two games on Sept. 14 at the Santa Clara Tournament, but one opponent, Southern Utah University, canceled the game. Southern Utah neither confirmed nor denied that Fleming being transgender was the reason for the cancellation, according to OutKick. The women of the Southern Utah volleyball team inspired Chainey to speak out. “These poor girls—they have been asked to make very uncomfortable decisions that should be being made from the top,” Chainey said. “The NCAA has put them in this situation. They should not even have to make these types of decisions.”  Chainey is devastated to see the NCAA threatening women’s volleyball careers by setting them up to lose to a team with a biological male. The NCAA did not immediately respond to The Daily Signal’s request for comment. “For these players to risk everything that they have worked so hard for, it saddens me,” she said. “It’s infuriating that the NCAA is allowing this. My daughter wants to continue on and go overseas and play internationally. This could potentially be career-ending.” Chainey had never spoken to a reporter before, but said she felt called to use her voice to bring awareness to the NCAA’s continuing to force female athletes to compete against males.  “I’ve talked to parents this week. I’ve talked to players this week,” she said. “And you know what? Everyone is afraid to speak up. I feel that the more people that speak up, the less courage it takes for that next person to speak up. And then, eventually, there’s a tipping point where everything goes in the other direction. That’s why I am putting my name out there, on the record.”  “Being afraid to speak is not freedom,” Chainey continued. “Being truthful is not unkind, and being coerced is not consent. And the NCAA is providing an environment for all of these to thrive in.”  The NCAA has failed to secure fair and safe sports for women on the court and in the locker room, she added.  “I am not against trans athletes,” Chainey said. “I am not against trans athletes at all. I am for women athletes to compete on a safe and fair, level playing field. And that is something that the NCAA has failed to do over and over again.”  Women’s sports are in danger, Chainey said.  “This is the future of women’s sports,” the mother said, “and a fair, safe, level playing field is on the line.” The post ‘Unsafe and Unfair’: Mom of Collegiate Volleyball Player Speaks Out About Biological Male Competing Against Daughter appeared first on The Daily Signal.

So. There is no less than Hillary Clinton - one time United States Senator, Secretary of State and Democratic presidential nominee - out there in a tiny handful of media stories that are running headlines like this: Fox News: Hillary Clinton suggests arrest of Americans who share disinformation: ‘Chilling' Constitutional law expert Jonathan Turley joined 'America's Newsroom' to discuss Hillary Clinton's 'chilling' remarks on censorship and the broader effort to stifle free speech across the globe. The Washington Times:  Hillary Clinton triggers irony alert in calling for arrest of those spreading election ‘propaganda’ The Wall Street Journal’s Editorial Board:  Hillary Clinton’s New Speech Code The former Senator and Democratic presidential nominee says spreading what she calls disinformation should be a crime. That Wall Street Journal editorial reported this, bold print for emphasis supplied:  Woke young people aren’t the only Americans who need a tutorial on the First Amendment. Consider Hillary Clinton, a Yale Law grad and former presidential nominee, who wants to make spreading disinformation a crime. Mrs. Clinton on Monday went on MSNBC with Rachel Maddow, the hothouse for false information about the Russia collusion narrative, to indict all and sundry she disagrees with. “It’s important to indict the Russians, just as [Robert] Mueller indicted a lot of Russians who were engaged in direct election interference and boosting Trump back in 2016,” Mrs. Clinton said.  “But I also think there are Americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda, and whether they should be civilly, or even in some cases criminally, charged is something that would be a better deterrence, because the Russians are unlikely, except in a very few cases, to ever stand trial in the United States,” the former first lady added. There’s a novel legal concept. Because Russians can’t be punished in the U.S., she wants Americans to be arrested for their political speech if they happen to utter arguments also uttered by Russians. Clinton also tweeted out this on our European Union allies:    For too long, tech platforms have amplified disinformation and extremism with no accountability. The EU is poised to do something about it. I urge our transatlantic allies to push the Digital Services Act across the finish line and bolster global democracy before it's too late. — Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) April 21, 2022   Got that? One “bolsters global democracy” by shutting down free speech, enforcing censorship and, yes indeed, arresting free speech dissenters if needed. Jonathan Turley, the professor at the George Washington University Law School and a staunch defender of America’s free speech founding constitutional right has spoken up. (Turley is the author of The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage) has headlined this warning over in The Hill:   Europe’s plot to regulate political speech in America Turley writes:   …there is now a massive censorship bureaucracy in Europe and the desire to silence opposing voices has become insatiable. Some in this country have the same taste for speech-regulation. After Elon Musk bought Twitter and dismantled most of the company’s censorship program, many on the left went bonkers. That fury only increased when Musk released the “Twitter files,” confirming the long-denied coordination and support by the government in targeting and suppressing speech.   In response, Hillary Clinton and other Democratic figures turned to Europe and called upon them to use their Digital Services Act to force censorship against Americans. The EU immediately responded by threatening Musk with confiscatory penalties against not just his company but himself. He would have to resume massive censorship or else face ruin. It was a case of the irresistible force meeting the immovable object. The anti-free speech movement had finally found the one man who could not be bullied, coerced or threatened into submission. But there is something of considerable curiosity going on here. Imagine for a moment that there was one change to those stories. Replace the name “Hillary Clinton” with “Donald Trump” and you know the smallest ant in the crevices of earth would never have missed the blizzard of appalled and terrified media coverage that would have been freaking out over the news that would-be “dictator” Trump was hell bent on unleashing an iron curtain of censorship on the American people. With Trump having every intention of effectively shutting down the First Amendment and silencing - when not arresting - those dissenting from the World of Hillary and the Left in general. The problem? Trump said none of these things. Hillary has quite plainly and repeatedly done just that and more. But if you blinked and missed any of those three Hillary stories from conservative media outlets and a small handful of others, there is a reason. The liberal “mainstream” media has given Hillary a pass in her war for censorship. There are those on the Left who have generated headlines like these: From NPR:  Group aiming to defund disinformation tries to drain Fox News of online advertising  Three years ago, longtime CBS and Fox correspondent Bernard Goldberg headlined this in The Hill:  House Democrats want to silence opposing views, not ‘fake news’ Goldberg led off by reporting:  Since nobody’s for disinformation and extremism in the media, what could be wrong with such a congressional hearing?  For one thing, despite its noble-sounding title, the hearing is just the latest item on the progressive agenda — an agenda to stifle or flat-out shut down conservative voices in America. In other words, the Left’s obsession with supporting censorship, silencing conservatives’ free speech and shutting down conservative media has been around awhile. The only thing new that is surging now is Hillary Clinton, of all people a former United States Senator and Secretary of State as well as a Democratic presidential nominee, using her name and prestige to push censorship in both America and the European Union - which is to say silencing free speech across the West. With the “mainstream media” letting Hillary’s anti-free speech, pro-censorship aspirations skate. Shocking. Not. But dangerous, for sure.
