California’s state laws failed to adopt two separate bills aimed at protecting girls sports from trans -cluttering on Tuesday. During the debate for one of the bills, a democratic state legislator compared the proposals for practice employed by Nazi Germany in the Holocaust.
California’s assembly member Rick Chavez Zbur made the comparison while arguing against the first bill, AB 89.
“This really reminds me of what happened in Nazi Germany in the 1930s. We are moving towards autocracy in this country. In Nazi Germany, transking people were persecuted, barred from public life,” Zbur said.
Zbur was then interrupted by brokers who protested for his comparison and argued that it was out of service. But Zbur continued his analogy.
“This is about this, this is about this bill,” Zbur argues. “They were excluded from public life. They were opposed. They were imprisoned and killed in concentration camps. And the way it started was the same kind of thing that happens in this country of the Trump administration.”

California’s Republican Assembly Member Kate Sanchez, who suggested AB 89, said she heard audible gasps in the assembly chamber under Zbur’s argument and that a participant had to apologize from space.
“There was a lot of gasps and shocks,” Sanchez told Pakinomist Digital.
“It was very tone of deaf. We had a mother who had been in the Holocaust itself, so she had to leave the committee’s hearing because it was so offensive to hear … She got up and left because she was just so uncomfortable with the situation.”
Several democratic residents, including a member of the LGBTQ community, appeared on the assembly floor on Tuesday to go in to support the bill.
But AB 89 was ultimately knocked down by the democratic majority. However, it will be allowed for reconsideration at a later date.
“I’m just so disgusted that my democratic colleagues were unable to stand for the protection of women and girls,” Sanchez said. “Not only ignore the will of the people … they ignore the daily mother, father, girl in sports. They ignore their wishes.
Democrat Assembly Member Avalino Valencia was absent from Tuesday’s vote. Chairman of the Assembly Robert Rivas deployed himself in the committee to vote in Valencia’s absence. Valencia’s office has not responded to Pakinomist Digital’s request for comment.
Just moments after the Democrats hit Sanchez’s bill, the committee voted on AB 844, which would also ban Trans athletes from Girls Sport and were proposed by California’s Republican Assembly Member Bill Essayli. The debate for Essayli’s bill included testimony from the conservative activist and filmmaker Matt Walsh.

And like Sanchez’s Bill, Essaylis was also beaten by the majority of the Democrat. Essayli told Pakinomist Digital that he believes that the Democrat’s opposition to the two bills was intended to send a message to Government Head of General Newsom.
Newsom asked setbacks from them in his own party with comments on his podcast last month and expressed his belief that Trans athletes in girls sports were “deeply unreasonable” but defended it anyway.
“I think there’s really a civil war here that brews within the Democrat Party on how to solve these questions. You have the governor in one direction, and I think what you saw today with the management of the legislature, which tends to be even more radical and progressive than the governor, taking a completely different approach. said essayli.
“Today they wanted to send a message to their progressive, extremist base that they won’t give up them.”
The democratic majority prevented both bills from passing a few days after President Donald Trump’s Education Secretary Linda McMahon sent a formal warning to Newsom, and the rest of the state, suggesting that federal funding can be cut down to the state if it continues to enable trans -clutter into girls sports.

“Allowing participation in sex-divorced activities based on ‘gender identity’ places schools at risk of violation of title IX and loss of federal funding. As a governor you have a duty to California’s school districts Of this risk, ”McMahon wrote in the letter.
“As Education Secretary, I officially ask you to inform this department if you want to remind California schools to comply with federal law by protecting sex-divorced spaces and activities. I also officially ask you to insure parents publicly that California’s teachers will not facilitate the imagination of ‘gender oversets’ for their children.”

The State High School Sports Association, California Interscholastic Federation (CIF), is currently under federal investigation for Potential violations of title IX Following several controversial events involving trans athletes, the past year occurred.
CIF was one of the first state athletic associations that announced that it would continue to allow trans-athletes to compete with girls after Trump signed “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports” executive order on February 5th. CIF declared an 11-year state law, AB 1266, Which has been in effect since 2014 and gives trans athletes the right to participate in the gender category based on gender identity and not birth sex, for its non -compliance.
Both Sanchez and Essayli told Pakinomist Digital that they expect the Trump administration to strengthen its pressure on the state and potentially cut back on funding to enforce the executive order after their bills could not pass on Tuesday.
“I think a lot will come down in the tube over the next week or so,” Sanchez said. “There will be a lot of development from what I’ve been told.”
Essayli imagines a situation that plays out in California, similar to the one who has played in Maine over the past month, as a public feud between Trump and head of government Janet Mills has resulted in a hostile back and forth between the state and the federal agencies on the issue of trans -transformation.
“None of us really went into believing that the Democrats in the legislature would change their attitude to this today, but what we wanted to do is make a clear record, make our arguments and show the world where they stand where Democrats are on this, expose their attitude to this,” Essayli said. “And I think we achieved it.”
