In Clovis, California, local leaders and politicians convened a news conference criticizing the state's policies regarding transgender athletes competing in girls' sports. This gathering comes ahead of the state's high school track and field championships and follows backlash from President Trump, who warned of potential federal funding repercussions. Amidst these tensions, the California Interscholastic Federation made policy amendments but faced criticism for not going far enough. Organizers are advocating for stricter regulations to ensure fairness in women's sports, while some groups support the inclusion of transgender athletes.
"Because the CIF, Governor Newsom and the state legislature have failed our female athletes, there is a distraction that hangs like a cloud over this weekend's events. It's time we stand up and demand a level playing field. Let's stand together for fairness, for opportunity and especially for our girls."
"The White House threatened to withhold federal funding to the state if it did not change its rules."
