Despite all of this, transgender athletes in California are still susceptible to legal and social pressures playing out across the country. Twenty-six states ban transgender women from competing in women’s sports at any level. In some of those states, lawsuits against national athletics organizations are sweeping California into the battle.


legal and social pressures.

All opposing teams can end this insanity. Just forfeit - do not allow girls to play against tranny boys. Short term loss, long term gain.

If Democrats want to keep dying on the “tranny men in girls sports” hill, Republicans should allow and encourage them.

Californias war on women continues. Long past time to make gender reassignment illegal like selling a kidney. Impersonating the other sex to get a scholarship should be considered and prosecuted as fraud and a registered sex crime. It’s long past time to send the freak show packing

I was watching a "this is real LA" video. It looks like all the stores on Rodeo Drive are closed, and it looks like a ghost town.

“California enshrines protections for transgender students in the state education code and in policies for all three public college and university systems.”

And in doing so it provides zero protections of any sort for females forced to compete with biological males.

As usual California has the shoe on the wrong foot.

IIRC-—ALL women’s volleyball teams in the Mountain West Conference have forfeited against games with San Jose State-—which has a MALE on their team.

Once in a while, I hear about the reverse. I recall reading about a female to male Tran Kick-Boxer, and separately, a female to male wrestler in high school. That’s still the exception to the rule.

That female to male high school wrestler was allowed to be on male hormones, which would normally (is that a word anymore?) disqualify a competitor.

For transgender student athletes, the significance of having access to team sports goes beyond fairness. States with anti-trans laws show worse mental health outcomes for transgender youth.

Well, boo-hoo-hoo. How about all those women who have been grievously injured by men pretending to be women?

"Payton McNabb suffered a concussion and extensive trauma to her head and neck after a trans-identifying player from an opposing team spiked a ball at her.

In another instance, a male field hockey player on a girls’ high school team took a shot at the goal and hit a female player in the face, appearing to knock out some of her teeth."

Or the women who have lost scholarships, 1st places, awards and accolades to men pretending to be women:

"Trans-identifying males have taken 890 medals from female competitors....Additionally, across 29 different sports, 600+ female athletes have lost to male competitors."

But preserving the feelings of mentally ill males who think they are women is far more important than women being unfairly denied athletic opportunities or being severely injured.

indeed ... this guys-in-dresses playing sports against real females could be ended in a couple of seconds if ALL real females on ALL sports teams went on strike ...

Why it is always men...

The insecure lazy liars like Will Thomas (and many others) who can’t achieve what he wanted to swimming against men
The perverts like Will Thomas (and many others) who like looking at young athletic women.
The misogynists like Will Thomas (and many others) who like beating women, physically and in competition.
The attention seeking profiteers like Dylan Mulveney (and many others).
The mentally ill. Like all of them.

“We should be talking about opportunities for everybody,” Sugiyama said. “At the end of the day, people just want to be able to play sports.”

They already have opportunities

Everyone of these Trans-females (to use their term) have the opportunity to compete as men.

But of course they would never make the team.

They compete as women because they are not good enough to compete as men.
