California State Assembly member Kate Sanchez announced Monday that she is introducing a bill ban transporters of participation in girls’ and women’s sports.
Sanchez will introduce the Protect Girls’ Sports Act to the state legislature. Currently, similar laws are in effect in 25 states. But California Since 2014, a state law has been in place that allows trans athletes to compete in women’s and girls’ sports, even requiring public institutions to protect trans athletes at the expense of biological female competitors.
“Young women who have trained and sacrificed for years to compete at the highest level are now forced to compete against individuals with undeniable biological advantages. It is not only unfair – it is disheartening and dangerous,” Sanchez said in a statement announcing the bill.

These current Golden Start laws have resulted in multiple scandals and national controversies involving trans athletes in women’s sports in 2024 alone.
Martin Luther King High School in Riverside, California, is currently embroiled in one of the most controversial local controversies over this issue.
At a recent Riverside Unified School District meeting on Dec. 19, there was a parade of parents berating the board for allowing a trans athlete onto the Martin Luther King girls cross country team. A lawsuit filed by two girls on the team claims their T-shirts were compared to swastikas in protest of that player simply because they said “Save Girls Sports.”
The father of a girl who recently lost her varsity spot to the trans athlete told Fox News Digital that his daughter and other girls at the school were told by school administrators that “transgender people have more rights than cisgender(s)” when they protested the athlete’s participation.
The Stone Ridge Christian High School girls volleyball team was scheduled to face San Francisco Waldorf in the Northern California Division 6 tournament, but lost an announcement just before the match due to the presence of a trans athlete on the team.
HOW TRANSGENDERISM IN SPORTS CHANGED THE 2024 ELECTIONS AND Ignited A NATIONAL COUNTERCULTURE
A transgender volleyball player was booed and harassed during an Oct. 12 game between Notre Dame Belmont in Belmont, California, against Half Moon Bay High School, according to ABC 7. Half Moon Bay roasted the transgender athlete.
At the collegiate level, San Jose State University’s volleyball team was hobbled by perhaps the biggest transgenderism scandal in women’s sports in recent history in 2024.
SJSU co-captain Brooke Slusser is embroiled in multiple lawsuits against the university, the Mountain West Conference and the NCAA, alleging the school let her share a team, locker rooms and even bedrooms with teammate Blaire Fleming without her or any other players ever informing that Fleming was a biological male.
The team was the target of national attention amid controversy this past season, with President-elect Trump even calling out Fleming for how hard the trans athlete hit the ball to an opponent during a Fox News town hall event in October.
The team saw eight games lost due to the scandal, including the semifinals of the Mountain West Tournament after Boise State refused to meet the Spartans for the third time. Slusser, Fleming and the rest of the team all ended up playing in the championship game, where they lost to Colorado State to end their season and the two players’ respective college careers.
Sloten has told Fox News Digital that the entire experience involving Fleming was “traumatizing.”
“This season has been so traumatizing that I haven’t even had a moment of pride,” Slusser said.
Most of the team’s remaining players have done so as well ended up in the transfer portal in the wake of the controversy.
Trump has pledged to implement a complete ban on trans athletes in women’s sports, with near-unanimous support from Republican allies.
