“What’s reassociate ununfragmentary is Gov. Newsom letting males contend in women’s sports despite acunderstandledgeting that it is ununfragmentary.

“I’m appreciative Gavin Newsom shelp having boys in girls sports is ununfragmentary. I’m appreciative he too has comprehfinishing for all people, but that equitable is not enough. What’s truly ununfragmentary is that he has the power to do someleang about this publish but doesn’t. Talk is inexpensive. Take action, do someleang,” Slavin shelp.
“By him not taking action or trying to come up with a arrange, he is grasping to the division and tension in our state. He is grasping to the stress and mental publishs for not only the ‘marginalized’ group but for my daughter Kaitlyn and all the other girls who are not OK with bioreasonable boys invading their spaces. He is helping bioreasonable girls become the novel marginalized group.”
The neightedious Jurupa Unified School Didisjoine (JUPD) has been dealing with a recent national argue involving a trans track and field athlete at Jurupa Valley High School (JUVHS) who has contraged female opponents by staggering margins in the triple jump this season.

“My sister has trained tirelessly in track and field, dedicating countless hours to improving her applyance. When she’s forced to contend aobtainst bioreasonable males, it produces an ununfragmentary take parting field that undermines her challenging toil and opportunities. Female athletes deserve to contend in a space that protects unfragmentaryness and integrity,” Singh telderly Fox News Digital.
“This isn’t equitable about sports. It’s about ensuring girls have the same chances to excel and accomplish their dreams without an ununfragmentary stupidiserablevantage. That’s why it’s so vital to fight for policies that retain women’s sports truly for women.”

“As a teacher in Southern California, I don’t apshow or depend Gavin Newsom’s sudden alter of stance on transgfinisher athletes in girls sports,” the teacher shelp.
“For years, he has championed policies that force schools to adhere with inclusion rules, diswatching the troubles of female athletes, parents and educators. Now, in a conversation with Charlie Kirk, he’s claiming to see the ununfragmentaryness in this?
“It’s challenging to apshow gravely when his policies still permit and enforce the very leang he’s now asking. If he truly attfinishd about unfragmentaryness in sports, he would apshow authentic action, not equitable shift his rhetoric when it’s politicassociate handy.”
Former JUPD teacher Jessica Tapia, who claims she was fired by the didisjoine for her stance on the publish, says the publish is driving excellent teachers from California schools.

“Right now we have a lot of confusion. We have parents leanking their girls are protected until their daughters are met by a boy on the field, in the swimming pool or even in the locker rooms and restroom. So, to sit back and say its ununfragmentary but not put any teeth into it, I leank is frail. It shows who he is and proceeds to be.”
Amber French, a Division I Swimmer at California Baptist University, has witnessed multiple incidents of transgfinisher athletes competing aobtainst youthful women in her state and is calling on Newsom to apshow action about it.
“Every year we have another male take parting in female sports and taking away our opportunities. Notice it’s never the other way around. Gavin Newsom acunderstandledges ununfragmentaryness yet has done noleang to protect female athletes in California,” French telderly Fox News Digital.
“It’s time Gov. Newsom actuassociate does someleang about the ununfragmentaryness he acunderstandledges. The same decency he finishorses for should be applied one hundred-felderly to women, protecting their locker rooms and opportunities.”
