The Trump administration's discriminatory policy lacks legal standing and would put an undue burden on the state to verify the gender of every competing athlete. Newsom is taking action to protect the few transgender athletes in the state from the president's cruel policies. The DOE should focus more on avoiding hamrful budget cuts.
