Minnesota joins California in defying Trump's transgender sports ban executive order

Minnesota joins California in defying President Donald Trump's executive order, allowing transgender athletes to compete against girls in girls' sports, as the Minnesota State High School League announces its continued support for trans student participation. The decision comes after a similar move by California Governor Gavin Newsom, who signed an executive order protecting the rights of LGBTQ+ students. The Minnesota High School League's policy change is seen as a significant development in the ongoing debate over transgender athletes' participation in girls' sports. By ignoring Trump's order, both states aim to promote inclusivity and protect trans students from potential harm.
