California, don’t give in to Donald Trump. Defend transgender athletes | Opinion
Sacramento Bee ^ | June 25, 2025 | By McClatchy California Editorial Boards

Posted on 06/26/2025 5:38:26 AM PDT by artichokegrower

After months of threats, the other shoe just dropped: The U.S. Department of Education announced Wednesday morning that California violated Title IX by allowing transgender athletes to compete in girls sports. An investigation found that California violated Title IX’s guarantee of “equality in opportunity” by “allowing males in girls sports and intimate spaces” — a reference to locker rooms and restrooms.

The editors of the Sacramento Bee have never let facts get in the way of their reporting the “news”.

This is so insane that it’s hard for me to believe it’s even an issue. The only way it makes sense is to look at the quote from Voltaire:

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.

States should be able, to some extent, to make choices.
Like Slavery or indentured, some items cannot be a ‘choice’, as they diminish the Human Existence by their presence.

Men competing in women’s sports diminishes human existence and is inherently unfair. Men should compete in Men’s sports, Women in Women sports. For those that are ‘binary’ they should have their own special sports and competitions.

California people should rejoice and adapt, and begin making sports for Trans athletes to compete in.

Well, they are espousing the liberal view of the issue.

And the liberal view, is that these transgenders are supposed to be considered as female in every aspect of life.

To them, it’s discrimination and some sort of civil rights violation, to disallow these males from competing in female sports.

That’s where we are at with this issue. And to them, you are a bigot and transphobic, if you oppose their point of view.

How is it that no one stood up at the beginning? How could any boy who entered the girl’s locker room and demanded the right to be there because he is a “woman” not have received a severe beating from the other boys? Did they give him a high five for getting a peek at all the girls? Parents just said, boys can be girls? Sure, why not? Their delicate snowflake of a child must be handled with kid gloves. When the male employee shows up in a dress and wearing makeup, how is it he isn’t fired on the spot? I understand that some liberal judge will rule in his favor, but why? No one can actually think trans science has any merit. An effeminate boy is really a girl? Nonsense. A tomboy is really a boy? Nonsense.

The Sacramento Bee — and the Democrat/Communist cult members who run it — are rarely on the side of decency. Decency is not a value to the Left. Decency is in direct conflict with the Left’s hopes and wet dreams.

They give the real reason for supporting Trans athletes: to not give Trump a win.

I can't agree with you there. States should promote normalcy, not perversion.

Please correct the source. It looks like autocorrect did not recognize this was a Babylon Bee story and changed the attribution.

“Supporting trannies hurts them. They need extensive, long-term mental health treatment to resolve their mental health problems. They are sick.

The question now is how the state should respond to this repugnant ruling.

The state should "respond" by banning men from women's sports.

No wonder these newspapers are going out of business - and not a moment too soon.
