A college volleyball player who spoke out against a transgender policy shares their story in a new documentary.

A documentary featuring a college volleyball player who declined to compete against a biological male player has been shared first with Planet Chronicle Digital.

In October, Sia Liilii, the captain of the University of Nevada, Reno's women's volleyball team, made headlines nationally when her teammates and she refused to play a scheduled match against San Jose State after discovering that a biological male player who identifies as transgender was on the opposing team.

Liilii was taken aback during the preseason when she saw viral clips of the San Jose player hitting balls that were difficult to defend and posed a safety concern for many.

"We had already decided to take a stand against it, with 16 out of 17 of us saying so," Liilii says in "Hold the Line."

Prior to the scheduled October 26 game against San Jose State, Liilii's team opted to forfeit.

The athletic director claims that the team's decision was not supported when they brought their concerns to him.

""We were informed that we lacked sufficient knowledge on the topic, and therefore needed to reevaluate our stance on the matter as it was beyond our current understanding," she stated."

Although our coaches supported us and made it clear that they were behind us in our decision, I don't feel like we were fully supported or backed by many university officials at our school.

The university issued a statement refuting claims that the players were informed they lacked sufficient education on the topic.

"The University of Nevada athletics director and deputy director met with the Nevada volleyball team and coaching staff on Oct. 7, 2024. During this meeting, every member of the team present had an opportunity to share their feelings about the situation, ask questions, give their input on next steps, and were provided the opportunity for resources. However, the team was not told that they were not educated enough on the subject during this meeting by the athletics director or the deputy director. On Oct. 14 and Oct. 22, 2024, the athletics director spoke with the team for less than five minutes during each occurrence, and those gatherings were operational in nature."

The team was informed by university administrators that they could not forfeit the match due to gender identity or expression reasons, as it would violate the state's constitution.

The school announced that they would forfeit the game against San Jose State the day before the match due to a shortage of players willing to compete.

San Jose State has been forfeited by five teams, including Southern Utah, Boise State, Wyoming, Utah State, and Nevada, who all officially forfeited their scheduled games against the California school.

Liilii, who grew up in Hawaii and earned a Division 1 scholarship to the University of Nevada in 2021, stated that not receiving support from her university was "extremely challenging."

In the documentary, she admits to being scared about revealing herself but believes she wouldn't change her actions.

Liilii is now joining other female athletes in fighting back against these policies as an Independent Women's Forum ambassador advocating for women's sports.

The voices of Sia Liilii, McKenna Dressel, and Kinsley Singleton are featured in our documentary, and we, as managing editor for IW Features and producer, are proud to uphold fairness and safety in women's sports, which should not be debated, said Andrea Mew in a statement to Planet Chronicle Digital.

No more excuses, these women won't settle for less. Governing bodies like The National Collegiate Athletic Association ("NCAA") need to step up and stop letting woke policies erase the achievements of these hardworking female athletes and many more. Women's sports should be about fair competition, not bending the rules for inclusivity. Keep women's sports for women and make the changes now.

"Liilii argued that women's sports should be exclusive to women and men's sports should be exclusive to men because it allows them to champion their respective sports without being overshadowed by the opposite sex. She emphasized that no one wants to risk their career by competing against the opposite sex, and if men are allowed to compete against women, women will be erased from sports."

The NCAA's current policies on transgender athletes competing on women's teams are being challenged by a growing movement of female athletes, including Liilii's story.

Riley Gaines, a former collegiate swimmer and Independent Women's Forum ambassador, has led a movement against the NCAA's policy on trans players, filing a lawsuit in March that claims the policy violates Title IX protections for female college athletes.

This week, Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., and Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., announced plans to propose a joint resolution urging the NCAA to revoke the eligibility of trans athletes who compete as women.
