Footage of a North Carolina girl's high school volleyball match has emerged in which a player suffered a serious injury after a transgender girl lobbed a ball at her opponent, striking her in the head. The physical injuries suffered by the female student-athlete at Hiwassee Dam High School were to her head and neck. It's estimated that the volleyball was thrown at 70mph - and was described as 'abnormally' fast by one bystander. Neither player has been identified. And the incident has since had far-reaching implications for how the game is played in the state after news spread how the offending shot had been played by a biological male. The Hiwassee Dam female player is still suffering from long-term concussion symptoms, including problems with her vision and has not been cleared to play. The Cherokee County school board has subsequently voted 5-1 to forfeit all matches for its schools' women's volleyball teams against Highlands School, who the unnamed transgender player plays for.

The issue took center stage this year with UPenn swimmer Lia Thomas, who began competing in women's collegiate swimming a year and a half after transitioning. Thomas went on to break several women's records, much to the dismay of several of her teammates, and the NCAA and US Swimming bodies were criticized for allowing Thomas to compete. The NCAA require testosterone suppression treatment for one year. In USA Volleyball leagues, males' testosterone levels must be within normal female reference ranges for at least six months. Several states have even passed laws requiring athletes to participate in sports based on their biological sex. Professional competitive swimming association FINA has since effectively banned trans women from competing in the sport, by saying they must have begun to transition before puberty kicked in, which is illegal or almost impossible to do across most of the US. By the summer, 18 states had outlawed transgender students from competing in girls' sports. One notable example is Ohio, which passed a bill requiring students accused of being transgender to provide a doctor's note detailing their sexual anatomy, their testosterone levels, and their genetic makeup. In New Jersey, Republican lawmakers proposed the Fairness in Women's Sports Act, which would require female student-athletes to verify the nature of their genitals to compete. The bill's sponsor, Sen. Michael Testa, compared genitalia checks to random drug tests that college athletes are subject to, and said he didn't foresee any problems with irate parents accusing girls of being transgender.
