It's notable that the claims being made about the SJSU trans vball player are quite literally lies. They are suggesting she is performing athletic feats that she simply isn't.

![Some of the criticism of the San Jose State player's participation centers around safety. In the lawsuits, she is said to hit the ball so powerfully that her kills travel 80 mph. The lawsuit includes no data to support that claim, but it would make her as powerful as some of the hardest-hitting men's volleyball players in history.
"We saw this male athlete bounce a ball in front of a libero [defensive specialist], and it was undefendable," Liilii said to ESPN. "We just all agreed that this is unfair. This is unsafe."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tgw3d4hvw3x5ijrxax7lg26u/bafkreia75foonnk7fbigsfen7ubp56hxjx2xfhyojpk25ai5gdklpk633i@jpeg)

There is very good evidence in states that this is the case.

Opinion: The Trans Sports Attacks Were Never About Sports
Attacks on transgender participation in sports was never about sports, and always about getting people comfortable with discriminating against transgender people.
