Concerned Women of America is leading the charge to safeguard women's sports amid controversy of San Jose State University volleyball player Blaire Fleming.
"We're not going to jeopardize our female athletes, we're not going to jeopardize their safety and dignity." Sarah Rumpf-Whitten is a breaking news writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.
Macy Petty, a CWA legislative assistant and a NCAA volleyball athlete, shared with Fox News Digital the organization's efforts to raise awareness of transgender players' impact on women's sports. Story tips and ideas can be sent to sarah.rumpf@fox.com and on X: @s_rumpfwhitten.
"We want to protect the integrity of women's sports but also the safety of these female athletes," she said. "Many of these schools were unaware that there was a male athlete on this team until this news article came out in April. We just want to make sure that these schools know exactly what is going on in this athletic program because the NCAA and SJSU had not previously given them the decency to even let them know what was happening."
