## Resource

The Supreme Court just sided with states that want to keep women’s sports separate from biological males — but California’s not backing down. Despite the ruling, Gov. Newsom’s office stands firm, citing years of LGBTQ+ protections and policies that let transgender students compete in sports aligned with their identity. A transgender girl’s back-to-back state track titles sparked protests and even forced the state athletic association to adjust podium placements. The DOJ has now sued California over these policies, while Newsom himself has voiced concerns about fairness — but California’s legal and political machinery remains committed to inclusion, turning this national debate into a fierce local showdown.
