As the most important democratic characters throw excuses to enable trans athletes in women’s sports, conservative critics have capitalized on inconsistent messages.
Last week, California’s governor Gavin Newsom said at his podcast that he believes that trans athletes competing in women’s sports are “deeply unreasonable,” but defended it to happen legally because of concern about transient people like “poor people” who “are more likely to commit suicide, have anxiety and depression.”
When House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries was asked about Newsom’s comments, Jeffries repeated the non -founded claim that laws that prevented trans athletes from girls’ sports would “detach” sexual predators on girls across the country. It was the same argument that Jeffries delivered when the House of Representatives voted to adopt the protection of women and girls in the Sports Act in April.
Maine State Rep. Laurel Libby, who has recently risen as an important political figure in the fight to protect female athletes from trans -cluttering, spoke against Newsom and Jeffries in an interview about Outkick’s “Gaines for Girls” podcast with Riley Gaines.
Libby said she thinks Newsom’s recent comments “don’t matter.”
“I don’t think we’ll see Gavin Newsom do something about it, and that’s the way ‘what way the wind blows here?'” Libby said. “Gavin Newsom is a smart political animal, and he understands that 80% of Americans do not agree with biological men in girls’ sports, so he takes a bit of a common sense position here.
“It has certainly transformed the Democrats into a tail spin because they don’t know what to do with it.”

Libby rose to the topic after a social media post in February when she identified a trans -athlete in Maine, who won a high school barbella competition as the state defies President Donald Trump’s executive order to keep trans athletes out of girls’ sports.
Libby was then censored for the position of Maine Representant House, but on Tuesday she brought a lawsuit against the state’s house speaker to get her voting rights to be restored.
Meanwhile, Gaines was aiming for Jeffries for his argument, which alienated several democratic voters after it was pushed by him and other democratic lawmakers, causing some of these voters to unregister from the party.
“I assume he suggests that we want to inspect the genitals, that’s always what they go to, but again, that’s definitely not the case, it would be completely invasive and in total violation,” Gaines said.
“It would either be a birth certificate that I do not think is satisfactory, because in all except six states you can change your birth certificates; cheek sticks that we have seen somewhere that is a simple saliva test to determine sex; or a routine physically that every single athlete, I believe in every state, should go through anyway.

Both Newsoms and Jeffries’ excuses have encouraged setbacks in the midst of a recent national uprising on the issue.
The day Newsom came with its comments, California’s schools and residents influenced by trans -cluttering in sports that gave statements to Pakinomist Digital Lambasting Governor for not taking anything in the last year to tackle the problem.
Stone Ridge Christian School in Merced, California, had his girls volleyball team Forfast an endgame To San Francisco Waldorf in the fall due to the presence of a transgender athlete on Waldorf’s team. It was a decision that ended Stone Ridge Christian’s season because Newsom’s policy forced the girls’ volleyball team to a situation where it would refuse to play to avoid compromising religious beliefs.
“What is really unfair is Gov. Newsom, letting men compete in women’s sports, despite admitting that it is unfair. Although it is common sense for men and women to compete on their own teams, this is especially referred to as a religious school,” Stone Ridge Christian School Campus administrator Julie Fagunde’s earlier Pakinomist Digital.

After Jeffries and other house Democrats, including rep. Alexandria Ocasion-Cortez, DN.Y., pushed the argument that the protection of women and girls in the sports law would allow sexual predators to give gender surveys to little girls, the party officially lost some voters.
The prominent Rutgers lawyer professor Gary Francione, a lifelong Democrat, earlier Pakinomist told Digital that he and others in his network unregistered as Democrats in response to the argument.
“I can say confidential about the people I know who are Democrats that I have talked to, the vast majority of them are very unhappy with all these things and feels that the party has lost its way,” Francione said. “I know a couple who said they will [unregister]”
Trump has promised to cut federal funding to any state or public institution that continues to let trans -athletes compete with women and girls. He showed that he is willing to do well with that promise on Tuesday as the USDA reduced millions in financing to eight universities in Maine.
