California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a pioneer for LGBTQ+ rights who decades ago upset leaders in his own party when he defied state law and issued marriage licenses to same-sex couples, suggested Democrats were in the wrong in allowing transgender athletes to participate in female college and youth sports.
What I think is this is not a government issue. Whatever regulations are the ones that have rules against performance enhancing drugs in competitive sport are the only ones that should have any authority on this issue.
