California Lawmaker Urges Democrats to Back Bill Banning Trans Athletes in Girls' Sports
A California lawmaker is warning fellow Democrats that opposing a bill to ban biological males from girls' sports could have consequences for the party, as the state legislature prepares to vote on the measure. The bill would prohibit trans athletes from competing in their assigned gender category in girls' sports if they are identified as male biologically.
A California lawmaker has warned Democratic lawmakers that if they do not pass a bill to protect girls' sports from trans athletes, the party could face significant backlash and potentially lose seats in upcoming elections. The proposed bill would ban biological males from participating in female-only sports in the state. If passed, it would be one of the first laws at the state level to address the issue of transgender athletes competing in women's sports. Opponents have argued that such policies discriminate against trans individuals.
