Sacramento, California (AP) -Kalifornia Secondary School Sports Board is changing its competition rules at this weekend at the State Athletics Championships so that more girls can participate in the dispute regarding the participation of a transgender student-athlete.
The California Interscholastic Federation said it extends more access to “biological women” athletes this weekend to participate in the championship. The Federation announced on Tuesday that President Donald Trump announced on his social media website of the Transportary participation in the competition.

“According to this trial entrance process, any biological student-athlete who would have won another qualification mark to one of their department’s automatic qualification records at the CIF State Meeting, and did not reach the CIF State Large Mark final in their department meeting, Provides opportunities to afford to afford our students. ”
This step takes place during the national struggle for transgender youth rights, which have limited transgender girls to participate in girls’ sports teams, prohibiting gender -proven surgery for minors and demanding that parents be notified if their child is changing their pronouns at school. At least 24 states have laws that prohibit transgender women and girls to participate in a certain women’s or girls’ sports competition. Part of the policy was blocked in court.
Trump also criticized the Maine Democratic Governor after she said the state would force the president to court for his efforts to prevent transgender girls from competing in girls’ sport.
The Federation did not specify whether the amendment was valid for all events or only events where the transition athlete entered the final. The change applies only to this weekend competition. The organization did not immediately answer the question of how many students expect the changes to be influenced.

On Tuesday morning, at the social media meeting, the short threatened to raise federal funding in California if the state does not prohibit students from participating in girls’ sport. The record mentioned AB Hernandez, a Trans athlete competing in the Girls Track. It is planned that Hernandez will take place this weekend with a triple jump, high jump and long jump in the state finals this weekend. Based on CIF results, she won Division 3 girls ‘long -distance jump and girls’ triple jump and took seventh place in the high jump in the southern division final.
“It’s not fair and completely humiliated women and girls,” Trump said.
The Trump administration has launched an investigation this year on the law that districts cannot force teachers and staff to report to parents if a student changes his gender identity at school.
Trump’s comments came from a few months after Gavin Newsom, head of the California government, said in his podcast, the transgender girls ‘involvement in girls’ sport was “very dishonest.” Charlie Kirk, a Conservative commentator who was a guest of Podcast, specifically mentioned Hernandez when asked Newsom on the subject.

Trump said he was planning to talk to Newsom on the issue on Tuesday. The governor’s office did not confirm the call, but weighed the amendment of the rules of the California interscholat Federation.
“The pilot offered by the CIF is a reasonable, respectful way to navigate a complex problem without compromising competitive integrity – a model worth pursuing,” said Newsom spokesman Isozy Gardon. “Governor is encouraged by this thoughtful approach.”
Parents and conservative supporters opposed to transsexual girls competing in girls’ sports criticized Hernandez’s involvement and condemned the athlete during the season meetings.
“I can’t do anything about people’s actions, just focus on your own,” Hernandez told Publication Capital & Main earlier this month. “I’m still a child, you are an adult, and you act the way a child shows how you are as a person.”

E -mail In a letter, Hernandez’s mother refused to comment on Tuesday’s amendment.
The Jurupa Unified School district, which contains Hernandez High School in Southern California, said it would continue to comply with state laws to allow trans-study athletes to compete in sports teams that match their sexual identity.
Democratic state lawmakers in California blocked bills of exchange last month, which would ban transgender girls to participate in girls’ sport. Newsom, which usually does not declare its position on the waiting legislation, has not publicly considered proposals.
