And it's becoming apparent that the most effective way to deal with this practice, unfortunately, is to walk away. And that, sadly, is the choice made by four - so far - women's volleyball teams faced with an opposing team that includes a "transgender" - male - player.

That team is California San Jose State University, and their coach is blaming "politics" for the boycott.

The San Jose State women's volleyball team lost to Colorado State on Thursday night in one of its rare non-cancelled games in recent weeks. Head coach Todd Kress said he even considered thanking Colorado State coach Emily Kohan just for agreeing to play his team, as the program is currently at the center of a national controversy.

Four of San Jose State's scheduled opponents – Boise State, Southern Utah, Wyoming and Utah State – all forfeited their games to the Spartans amid an ongoing lawsuit by one of its players over the presence of a transgender player on the team.

"I walked up to Emily tonight, and I was like, ‘Should I say thank you for playing us?’ I seriously meant that because, of course, we're disappointed that we're losing opportunities to play, but it's not just us that are losing opportunities to play. It's the people choosing not to play us, and that's very unfortunate when it comes to these young women that have earned the right to step on the court and play," Kress said in a postgame press conference, as seen in documents obtained by Fox News Digital.

Four teams, you will note, have walked away, and if this unfair practice is to be ended, they won't be the last. One might note that all four teams to forfeit are from red states, but that, in this issue, seems immaterial. This is not a matter of politics, no matter what San Jose head coach Todd Kress might think. This is a matter of biology; this is a matter of reality. Men and boys have biological advantages over women and girls, significant and undeniable advantages in speed, strength, stamina, muscle mass, bone density, and lung capacity; that makes their presence on these teams unfair and unacceptable. How they "identify" matters not a jot to the biological realities.

These are facts.

Now, some will point out that San Jose, despite the presence of a dude on their team, actually lost to the one team that accepted the challenge, that being Colorado State. So what? Public policy, including the management of sports in state-funded universities, is not made for the exceptions. The plural of anecdote is not data; the loss of this team to one other team one time says nothing about what the policy should be or the overall unfairness of this practice.

There has been some progress on this front.

Many states have taken legislative action over the past year aimed to keep transgenders out of women's sports, including the Defending Women's Sports Act, which Little issued an executive order for his states to carry out in August.

However, most of these actions are in response to attempted Title IX changes by the Biden-Harris administration. In April, the Biden administration issued a sweeping rule that clarified that Title IX’s ban on "sex" discrimination in schools covers discrimination based on gender identity, sexual orientation and "pregnancy or related conditions."

That Title IX ban is likewise unfair, but the great irony here is that while head coach Kress blames politics for the boycott of his team, the Title IX changes pushed by the Biden administration are absolutely motivated not by biological reality or by fairness to girls and women in sports, but by politics - far-left "progressive" politics.

Here's another good reason to get out and vote, folks: get to the polls on November 5th, sooner if you can, by mail if you must, but vote. This Title IX change can be overturned with the stroke of a pen, but we need a president willing to wield the pen thus, and I can state with great assurance that Kamala Harris is not that president. This practice of allowing men on women's teams is - as it always has been - hideously unfair. Sadly, these young women feel obliged to walk away from teams with men cosplaying as women, but sometimes the only way to end an unfair practice is to refuse to take part in it.
