Outrage Builds As Five Trans Students Dominate Women's Volleyball
Outrage sparked in Toronto after a collegiate women's volleyball match featured five biological men participating in the action. The match between Seneca College and Centennial College on Jan. 24 featured five men, three for Seneca and two for Centennial.
As expected, the men ‘overwhelmed’ their female competitors. With their biological advantage, all five of the trans athletes stayed in for the entire duration of the volleyball match.
WATCH:
The Ontario Colleges Athletic Association has reportedly allowed this imbalance in their women's athletics to happen. One major concern around the inclusion of trans athletes in women's sports is the accompanying injuries that transpire from pitting one athlete against a physically superior athlete.
Women have suffered serious repercussions from competing against trans athletes in volleyball. Last year, one story out of California involved a girl suffering a concussion after absorbing a spiked ball from a trans player. The trans player later used the play in his highlight reel.
A testimony within the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association shared safety concerns regarding trans players' inclusion in volleyball.
One trans player from Centennial College's team was allegedly responsible for a girl's concussion last year, drilling his female opponent with a spike.
Six trans athletes are currently allowed to compete under the OCAA's failing jurisdiction.
According to The Post Millennial, the Association is aware of two incidents from the past year involving biological women getting struck in the head by hard spikes from trans volleyball players.
According to the Canadian news site:
"Recently, there have been two major head injuries to female volleyball athletes in the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association (OCAA) caused by transgender men [‘transwomen.’] The first injury, on November 12, 2023, was a concussion caused by C.L. Viloria who plays the middle position for Centennial College. During a game at Centennial College vs. La Cite Collegiate, Viloria attacked the ball with heavy force and hit a La Cite volleyball player in the head.
"The second injury, on January 22, 2024, was a concussion caused by a transgender woman, Franz Largadas. During a game at Seneca College vs. La Cite Collegiate, Largadas attacked the ball with heavy force and hit a La Cite player in the head. In the 2022-23 season Franz was listed on the Seneca College men’s volleyball team roster and is now on the women’s volleyball team roster this year."
