President Donald Trump promised to impose “big fines” on the state of California for having allowed a biologically male trans-athlete to win more girls’ state titles.
“A biological man competed in California Girls State Finals and won big, despite being warned by me not to do so. As Governor Gavin Newscum fully understands, fines on a large scale will be imposed!” Trump wrote about truth social Tuesday.

The California Attorney General Rob Bonta made a statement to Pakinomist Digital, addressing the US Department of Justice, sending a letter warning of a deadline on June 9 to change his policies to prevent trans athletes from girls’ sports.
“We are very concerned about the Trump Administration’s ongoing threats to California’s schools and remain obliged to defend and maintain California’s laws and all additional laws that ensure that the students – including transking students – are free from discrimination and harassment. We review the letter and monitor the Trump administration’s actions in this space,” the statement states.
Trump’s post comes days after the Trans -Athlet AB Hernandez took first place in the state’s girls’ high -mood and triple jumps and second place in the long jump. Trump sent a warning to California Govin Gavin Newsom and the State last Tuesday, threatening to cut federal funding to the state if a Trans -Aatlet competed in girls’ freedom.

California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) responded by changing its rules to accommodate female athletes who ended behind a trans athlete in the three events that Hernandez competed in, and gave them qualification and podium finish that they would have served had a biologically male athlete who did not compete in these events.
This resulted in Hernandez having to share podium places with the female athletes who finished somewhere behind Hernandez after the final on Saturday.

Last Wednesday, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced a federal probe in California of potential violations of title IX regarding its policy that allows trans athletes in girls’ sports. The state had already been under a Department of Education Survey on the question since February.
DOJ announced his deadline for the state on Monday.
ONE Bipartisan Survey By the Public Policy Institute of California, most of California residents found against biological male trans athletes competing in women’s sports.
This number included more than 70% of State school parents.
“Most Californians support that those who require transnry athletes compete for teams that matched the gender they were assigned at birth,” the vote states.
“Solid majorities in adults (65%) and probably voters (64%) support that requires transking athletes to compete on teams that match the gender they were assigned at birth, not the gender they identify with. An overwhelming majority of public school parents (71%) support such a requirement.”
Meanwhile, Newsom himself said he thinks trans -athletes competing in girls’ sports were “deeply unreasonable” during an episode of his podcast in March.
