Boise State University has forfeited a women’s volleyball match against San Jose State University. Governor Brad Little praised BSU for making the decision to refused to play SJSU, which has a male player (Blaire Fleming) on its women’s volleyball team who identifies as a woman.
Other schools in the Mountain West Conference have either dropped matches against SJSU or are considering doing so.
ED NOTE At last, women’s teams and politicians are resisting political correctness and embracing science and sanity!
Kudos to Boise State and other schools for refusing to put athletes at risk for harm and to Idaho’s Governor for supporting the Boise State decision.
This issue isn't about fairness, bigotry, or hate. It's about common sense and scientific truth.

Here's the science (presented in support of Idaho H421 eolson47.substack.com/i…):
Both males and females have X chromosomes. When the Y chromosome is present as well, a male (boy/man) results. If no Y chromosome is present, a female (girl/woman) results. Essentially, the basic equation is as follows:
Male: XY
Female: XX (or, occasionally, XO).
There are a few subtleties but primary sex determination is strictly chromosomal and is not usually influenced by the environment. The female is XX (or XO in unusual cases) and the male is XY.
Every person has at least one X chromosome. If an egg receives an X chromosome from the sperm, the resulting individual is XX, forms ovaries, and is female; if the egg receives a Y chromosome from the sperm, the individual is XY, forms testes, and is male.
The Y chromosome determines sex in mammals. A person with five X chromosomes and one Y chromosome (XXXXXY) is still a male. A person with only one X chromosome and no second X or Y (i.e., XO) develops as a female and begins making ovaries, although the ovarian follicles cannot be maintained. For a complete ovary, a second X chromosome is needed.
