Media Miss by the Left: San Jose State transgender volleyball player continues breaking women’s records

Why the media is ignoring a major story

In 2019, Jayme Szatkowski, a transgender woman, joined the San Jose State University women’s volleyball team. Szatkowski, who is 6’2″, quickly became one of the most dominant players in the country. In her first season, she led the nation in kills and was named the Mountain West Conference Freshman of the Year. Szatkowski’s success has continued in her sophomore season. She is currently leading the nation in kills per set and is on pace to break several NCAA records. However, despite her impressive performance, Szatkowski has received little attention from the mainstream media. There are a number of possible reasons for this media blackout. One possibility is that the media is simply not interested in stories about transgender athletes. Another possibility is that the media is afraid of being accused of transphobia. Whatever the reason, the media’s silence is doing a disservice to Szatkowski and to the transgender community.

The importance of representation

Representation is important for all people, but it is especially important for transgender people. When transgender people see themselves represented in the media, it can help them to feel more accepted and validated. It can also help to break down stereotypes and prejudices. Szatkowski’s story is an important one. It is a story of a transgender person who is excelling in a sport that is traditionally dominated by cisgender men. Her story is a reminder that transgender people are just as capable as cisgender people, and that they deserve to be treated with the same respect and dignity. The media has a responsibility to tell stories that are important to the public. Szatkowski’s story is one of those stories. It is a story that needs to be told, and it is a story that the media should not ignore.

What can you do?

If you are concerned about the lack of media coverage of Szatkowski’s story, there are a number of things you can do. You can write letters to the editor of your local newspaper or magazine. You can also contact your local TV or radio station and ask them to cover Szatkowski’s story. You can also share Szatkowski’s story on social media. By taking these actions, you can help to raise awareness of Szatkowski’s story and help to break down the media blackout.
