The organic transgender volleyball player, Emma Mortecho, continues the University of Westcliff and the National Association of Intercollegate Athletes (NAIA) – another Director of University Sports at the NCAA – after having affirmed that a scholarship offer has been revoked and eligibility has been refused.
The trial was announced by the Organization of Civil Rights Mexican Defense and Mexican Legal Education Fund (MALDEF).

“The Latin American community must often be targeted under irrational discrimination practices, and this affair is a matter of this model,” said Maldef president and general lawyer, Thomas A. Saenz, in a statement. “Discrimination, based on stereotype and false hypothesis, against trans athletes must end, in particular in California where so many wounded people will be members of the largest racial / ethnic community in the state.”
PK Press Club Digital contacted the University of Westcliff and Naia to comment.
The trial allegedly alleged that Mortecho revealed the birth sex of the athlete to university officials in 2022 and then received an offer of scholarships. Mortecho alleged that on August 10, 2023, the head coach of the Westcliff women’s volleyball team returned an e-mail saying that the athlete was not eligible to play this fall and that Westcliff revoked the scholarship.

“By taking a stand, I do not only fight for myself. I speak for each trans person who has been reduced to silence, and I hope that my voice allows others in our community to know their stories and their rights,” said Mortecho via a Declaration of Maldef. “Together, we can create a future where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.”
President Donald Trump signed the executive decree “keeping men outside female sports” on February 5, triggering a repression against men in female university sports. NCAA has changed its eligibility policy between the sexes the next day to exclude all biological men from competition in the women’s category.
However, the NAIA was one step ahead of this trend in April 2024, when it changed its eligibility policy between the sexes.
The revised policy indicated that all athletes can participate in male sports sponsored by NAIA, but only athletes whose biological sex attributed to birth is a woman and who have not started hormone therapy will be allowed to participate in female sports.
A student who started hormone therapy can participate in activities such as training sessions, team practices and activities, but not in interscholastic competition.
Now Mortecho seeks to contest this rule in court.
