A policy meant to restore fairness in women’s sports is being ignored in plain sight. At least three biological males continue to play in girls’ club volleyball events sanctioned by USA Volleyball, exposing the persistent resistance to protecting female athletes even after federal intervention.
USA Volleyball updated its gender eligibility rules in July 2025 to align with President Trump’s Executive Order 14201, “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports.” The policy requires athletes to compete according to their biological sex as listed on their original birth certificate.
This change followed guidance from the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee and aimed to comply with Title IX and federal law. Yet reports indicate enforcement remains lax, allowing males to displace girls on the court.
This situation reveals a deeper cultural failure: the unwillingness of institutions to prioritize biological reality over ideology, even when law and science demand it. Families invest thousands in their daughters’ athletic dreams, only to see those opportunities undermined by males who, in some cases, actively conceal their sex.
The Cases Undermining the Policy
“Bri” Deiley, a male athlete from Centaurus High School in Lafayette, Colorado, competes on the Goldfish 18U team in the Rocky Mountain Region. Deiley has sought to present as female and was referenced under a female pseudonym in a Supreme Court amicus brief opposing sex-based sports protections. His mother described efforts to keep his biological sex hidden from teammates. Deiley also excels in girls’ track and field, recently winning events that should belong to female competitors.
Logan O’Brien plays for the Sportime Gold 15 team in the Garden Empire Volleyball Association. Reports suggest O’Brien uses an altered birth certificate and that coaches know his biological sex yet allow participation.
Sawyer Chiappano, competing for New York Elite 14 Gray, makes no attempt to hide his status and promotes himself as a “GenderCool Champion.” His team has secured multiple tournament wins this season.
These incidents occur months after USA Volleyball publicly committed to sex-based categories. The organization has not publicly responded to inquiries about enforcement.
The opposing team of all females should walk off the field and refuse to play.
They can’t cut it with the boys so they switch over to the little girl’s teams where it’s so much easier on their soft asses.
You are so right!
