Barely a month after California governor Gavin Newsom said that allowing transgender athletes – biological men who identify as women – to participate in women’s sports was deeply unfair, Democrats have steered the state in the opposite direction.

On March 22, California Assembly Democrats voted unanimously to block the hearing of “AB 844: Educational equity: sex-segregated school and athletic programs and activities: use of facilities” bill that would have enforced gender-segregated sports and locker rooms.

“This bill, notwithstanding any other law, would require that a student’s participation in sex-segregated athletic programs and activities and use of facilities, including bathrooms, locker rooms, showers, overnight accommodations, and student housing at a postsecondary institution be based upon the student’s sex,” AB44 reads in part.

‘Common Sense Californians’

Assemblyman Bill Essayli (CA-R-63) introduced the proposal to protect girls from potential predation by men exploiting gender identity to access their private facilities. He lamented the Democrats’ disregard for logic and the will of most American voters.

“Assembly Democrats care more about allowing biological boys into girls’ sports and locker rooms than protecting our daughters — this defies all common sense,” Assemblyman Essayli said. “The vast majority of Californians and all Americans agree: keep boys out of girls’ sports. Assembly Democrats are radically out of touch with common sense Californians, and the voters will hold them accountable to restore justice and fairness in girls’ sports.”
