Trump threatens to yank California's federal funding over one transgender student's sports participation
"President Donald Trump threatens to cut federal funding to California unless a transgender girl is barred from competing in the state girls' finals."
"Trump's remarks about a 'transitioned male athlete' reflect deepening attacks on transgender youth and put pressure on Governor Gavin Newsom."
In a recent statement, Donald Trump has intensified attacks on transgender athletes by threatening to withdraw federal funding from California if a transgender girl is not barred from competing in girls' finals. This comes amidst rising pressure on Governor Gavin Newsom, who has faced criticism from LGBTQ+ advocates. Trump cited an unnamed athlete's performance in a competition as justification for his stance, but his claims lack specific evidence. The controversy has escalated, especially surrounding the state championships scheduled for May 30-31 in Fresno.
