The Transitive Properties of Self-Identity

 A federal judge ruled that a transgender volleyball player at San José State University can continue to play despite a lawsuit seeking to bar her from the team. Some teammates and opponents claimed she is transgender, but the university never confirmed, citing privacy laws. The lawsuit argued she denied cisgender women equal opportunities and could cause injury, but opponents mainly feared her powerful spikes. The judge dismissed the case, saying it was not an emergency and the conference had transgender athlete policies since 2022. Judge Crews, appointed by Biden, faced criticism during confirmation for lack of legal knowledge. Transgender activists are questioned for their confrontational tactics, with some criticizing extreme actions like comparing a congressman to a Nazi for defending concerns about transgender athletes. Concerns about extreme activism and rhetoric possibly alienating public support, even prompting criticism from the New York Times.
