The volleyball season is coming again. The volleyball season of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) from last year was politized as never before, with NCAA and USA Volleyball (USAV) so that a male athlete could dominate the Mountain West conference about a Division One women’s team. As a former USAV player himself, the lack of respect and the neglect for female athletes felt too familiar. During my athletic career and in my work in the policy afterwards, I got to know their morality intimate, and that is why I was not surprised at all when their new “gender policy” was a complete head of fake and possibly even more respectful than before.
Sport drivers brought a hard blow in February after their failures to protect female athletes against discrimination required presidential intervention. President Donald Trump ordered the Minister of Foreign Affairs to see that the Olympic administrative bodies ensure that the sport of women is determined according to sex, not ‘gender identity’.
After the USOPC usav has clarified, as a National Administrative Body (NGB), USAV must join the executive order of President Trump, USAV has released their new policy for Gender’s competition. It says: “Members of the USAV -athlete are expected to participate or participate in all USAV -Sanctioned events or activities as a member of the gender that was assigned to their birth certificate at the time of birth.”

At first glance it seems that they have finally done the right thing. But the policy is not only contrary to the executive order (because you can change your birth certificate in most states), but it violates the purpose of the entire effort.
USA volleyball does not even acknowledge that sex exists and opts for the story of Orwellian “sex assigned at birth”.
Their “gender competition policy” treats a fundamental component of humanity as if it is just as random as your favorite color. For them, “gender” is only a f or m blindly assigned to a document. The policy even says that athletes “can change their profile gender at any time”, although that will not necessarily change their eligible status. Moreover, their website is still plastered with anti-woman propaganda, including a documentary trailer with a young child who has changed their birth certificate (De Maas in the new USAV policy), and links to left-wing political advocacy such as Glaad, the Trevor project and the gender spectrum.
Of course, fewer men will probably compete in women’s volleyball because of their new policy. That is certainly a victory. But it’s hard to see this as a pro-wife Shift in USAV. In fact, it is precisely the opposite. Usav digs their heels in the ground. They are set to death at the least that they are legally obliged to do their female athletes. (Which, by the way, consistently brings the presence and viewer records to new heights.)
Their anti-wife agenda is not new. I even had to play against a male athlete while playing under USA volleyball in high school. It was during the heat of my recruitment process, so the embarrassing display of contrast between our skills could have completely taken me out of my stock exchange. The physical dangers here are also clear, because he played on a just seven centimeters shorter than the men’s network, with his dominant physical benefits.

From that day on I started to submit a petition for reform in the sports sports that protect sex -based protection. It is more than six years ago, and it is shameful that women are ignored, if it required the presidential pen to get any form of response.
Thanks to President Trump we have a clear path ahead. In his first day at the office, he acknowledged “efforts to eradicate the biological reality of sex that women fundamentally attack by robbing them of their dignity, safety and well -being.” He also claimed: “It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female.”

This is the core of the Modern Women’s Rights Movement. This is what USAV is missing. As long as they deny the reality of sex, they will deny us the dignity we deserve.
Unfortunately for them are female athletes like me for the long term. We will appeal until we see our administrative bodies that really defend for female athletes. We earn so much. Whether it is about passing congressman Greg Steube’s “Protection of Women in Olympic and Amateur Sports Act”, a overhaul of USA Volleyball’s Wake Leadership, or their usopc membership completely withdraw, we will not stop fighting until honesty and women’s worth exercise.
