Eric Stanley, faculty affiliate of the Center for Research on Social Change, was quoted in a San Francisco Chronicle story about the politicization of a transgender player on San Jose State’s women’s volleyball team. Other teams are forfeiting games rather than play agains the SJSU team. “This is all done in the name of women, but it’s not for women,” said Stanley. “Trans women are women, so it’s an attack on women.”
