Morrow stated she had even approached the college’s athletic director herself in regards to the status. She went directly to passionately secure her teammates who filed the lawsuit amid comparisons in their messaging to swastikas. 

“It feels as though that my school and the school district is choosing to support one person instead of the whole team,” Morrow stated. “To peer the athletic director flip round and inform my teammates that their shirts that say, ‘Save girl’s sports’ be compared to a swastika, that is not okay. These girls feel silenced, they felt silenced, and when they finally did something to speak out against it . . . they were completely stabbed in the back.” 

Morrow concluded her testimony by expressing how “unsafe” the entire situation has made her feel as a girls’ athlete being forced to share a locker room with a biological male. 

“It is not okay that I have to be in position, and I have to see a male in booty shorts, and having to see that around me, as a 16-year-old girl I don’t see that as a safe environment,” Morrow said. “Going into a locker room and seeing males in there, I don’t find that safe, I don’t find going to the bathroom safe when there’s guys in there. It’s not okay. I’m a 16-year-old girl!” 

The two girls who have filed the lawsuit, known as Kaitlyn and Taylor, previously told Fox News Digital how difficult the situation has been.

“My initial reaction was like, I was really surprised, because it was like, ‘Why is this happening to me?’” Taylor stated. “There’s a transgender student on the team. Why am I getting displaced when “I’ve labored so withered and long past to all the practices, and this pupil has most effective attended a number of the practices.”

The shock of having their shirts compared to swastikas was unexpected to them. 

“It was once for sure withered to listen to as a result of we’re certainly not looking to be hateful,” Kaitlyn said. “We’re simply dressed in a blouse that expresses what we consider in looking to carry consciousness to a status.”

Martin Luther King High School is just one of many public education institutions in California that is currently embroiled in a controversy over a trans athlete on a girls’ or women’s sports team. 

Stone Ridge Christian High School’s girls’ volleyball team was scheduled to face San Francisco Waldorf in the Northern California Division 6 tournament but forfeited in an announcement just before the match over the presence of a trans athlete on the team last week. 

A transgender volleyball player was booed and harassed at an Oct. 12 match between Notre Dame Belmont in Belmont, California, against Half Moon Bay High School, according to ABC 7. Half Moon Bay rostered the transgender athlete.

In response to complaints of boos and harassment, athletic director Steve Sell of Aragon High School in San Mateo, California, intervened. In his capacity as co-chair of the Peninsula Athletic League Athletic Directors, Sell informed Notre Dame that there could be consequences, according to ABC 7.

Meanwhile, at the college level, San Jose State’s volleyball team has been at the center of a national media firestorm over the presence of a transgender athlete on the team and a teammate being involved in multiple lawsuits over the issue.

San Jose State women’s co-captain Brooke Slusser has joined a lawsuit against the NCAA and filed her own lawsuit against the Mountain West Conference and her own school alleging she was deceived about the natural birth sex of her teammate, Blaire Fleming, who is a biological male. 

The two have continued to play together this season amid the ongoing controversy but have had seven matches on their schedule forfeited. San Jose State will compete in the Mountain West tournament, but a ruling from a Biden-appointed judge after an emergency hearing in Colorado on Thursday could prevent that from happening. 

A Mountain West spokesperson said it is possible for San Jose State to win the championship if opponents forfeit upcoming tournament games in Las Vegas starting Nov. 27. But federal Judge Kato Crews will deliver a judgment on whether that plan will stand or not, or whether the team and transgender player may even compete.
