NEW YORK (AP) — A member of the San Jose State University women’s volleyball team is part of a lawsuit challenging the presence of transgender athletes in women’s college sports. The person whose presence challenges her is her teammate. The situation has gained momentum in recent weeks.

And it reveals a wide range of opinions and positions about what the word “fairness” actually means.
