The athletics athletics of the girls of California High School will participate in the meeting of their lives this weekend under the national spotlights of the Clovis State Championship.
The competition will be served as a battlefield for the current cultural war against trans athletes in girls sports, with a trans athlete that takes place to participate in several girls’ events. Protests and demonstrations are expected by spectators. It remains to be seen if the athletes are not visible.

Several former eminent female female athletes who have been affected by trans inclusion in their careers have expressed their support to the girls who compete to “get up” against California Interscholastic Federation during the event:

Scanlan, a former UPENN swimmer, was forced to share a team and changing rooms with Lia Thomas during the 2021-22 female swimming season. Scanland became Upenn’s first female swimmer to denounce the school for allowing Thomas to compete with women, after the end of the controversial season.
Scanlan embarked on the governor of California Gavin Newsom for having left the situation in the state to arrive at this point and encouraged the girls involved to “get up” on Saturday.
“It is to do or break for California. It is no longer a bipartite problem, and even the Democrats see this. Gavin Newsom could not be more out of contact with women. I am more than grateful that the Trump administration takes this question if seriously and I encourage all female athletes to stand against this. I support them and I know that the majority of Americans to do too,” said PK Press Club Digital.
Stéphanie Turner

Turner made the headlines in the world in early April when she refused to compete and knelt to protest a trans opponent in a fencing match in Maryland.
Turner says she would support girls in competition in Clovis to defend herself also this weekend.
“I fully support these young women standing against men in female athletics events. CIF stole the precious years of secondary competition from these young women and compromised their athletic and scholastic trajectories by authorizing men in their category,” said Turner News Digital.
Turner congratulated a young woman who has already spoken, the star of the Canada Secondary School track Katie McGuinness, who urged the CIF to “act” by modifying his policy after finishing second behind the trans athlete during a section final on May 17.
“Katie McGuinness is right, it is a problem sensitive to time and CIF would do well to abandon all transgender policies immediately and to comply with both the president’s decree and in title IX,” said Turner.
“These women are extraordinarily courageous to express themselves at their age. It’s not easy, but women and girls in the United States thank them for their stand!”

McNabb underwent permanent brain lesions after being enriched at the head by a trans opponent in a high school match in 2022. She has since become a leading ambassador to oppose the trans athletes in the sports of girls and women, and testified in front of the Congress alongside Turner during a recent audition of Duge earlier this month.
McNabb reminded girls in competition in Clovis this weekend that they have the right to get up or even “move away” from the competition.
California Town gathers behind Trump as he welcomes an athletics championship in the middle of the controversy of Trans athletes
“To girls in competition in California – I know exactly what it does to lose against a male athlete. It’s not fair, and it’s not correct. You have trained for years, and now you are dismissed because those responsible prefer to protect the feelings to protect girls. You have only silence,” McNabb told PK Press Club.
“If you want to speak or go out – do it. You are not alone, and you are not crazy to want equity. Women have fought for decades to have equal chances in sport. Leave men not to make progress – that is falling.
Selina Soule

Soule, a former athlete of secondary athletics herself in Connecticut, was one of the first young women to oppose systems that allow biological men to compete with women in 2018.
That year, as a quadruple qualifier national, she was forced to leave a regional championship due to two trans athletes who take female places and who have lost the possibility of withdrawing attention from university scouts and potential scholarships because of these snobs. She then started to express himself during interviews with local media.
“I understand exactly how all the girls in competition in this next championship meeting feel like I was in the same situation for 4 years in high school,” Soule told PK Press Club Digital.
Soule would not encourage California athletes to refuse to compete this weekend, but it would support a kind of demonstration by them.
“It is easy for people to say that girls should take a stand and refuse to compete with a male athlete, but it is not easy to sit down when you have devoted long hours to train and sacrifice things like parties or pajamas with friends to qualify for this meeting. It is a devastating and demorized choice.
“If I could say something to each girl in this competition, it would be to compete and give your best. You might have the chance to beat your personal record or beat a school file. If you are deprived of the possibility of obtaining a higher place or simply missing the podium, you could refuse to stand on the podium next to a man with an unjust advantage during the reward ceremony and to take place. This country. “
Soule then continued the state of Connecticut on its eligibility policies between the sexes, and the prosecution is underway.
A title IX expert warns California of reprisals against the protest athletes
Some athletes of California girls have already taken measures to oppose this athletic playoff series.
Crean’s Lutheran high school, Reese Hogan, entered the stand of first place on the medal podium for a triple jump during a section final on May 17 after the first winner, the Trans athlete and Hernandez de Jurupa Valley High School, left. Images of the Hogan waterfall have become viral and have helped to become aware of the situation in California.
Before that, during the preliminaries of the southern section on May 10, several athletes wore shirts which read “Protect Girls Sports” and exerted piquet panels which called the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) for its policies, and some even spoke during a press conference which included activists opposing trans.
However, PK Press Club Digital previously reported that CIF officials have forced several girls wearing the shirts to remove them, and the CIF recognized that the incidents occurred in a press release.
The title in title IX Ryan Bangert Senior Vice-President for strategic initiatives and special advisor to the president of the Defense Group for Defending Freedom Alliance Defending Legislation told PK Press Club Digital that girls had perfectly the right to protest peacefully during the weekend competitions how they wish. And any reprisals of the CIF against those who protest could be violations of the first amendment.
“California must be prudent because each sovereign entity and each government entity has the obligation to follow the orders of the first amendment, and California is not different,” said Bangert, adding that the state is even more examined if it is part of the organic males in the first amendment to defend the “faulty ideologies” of organic males in competition in girls.
If CIF officials are trying to prevent girls from competing, Banger has suggested that there are legal measures that they could take in response.
“I think these girls would be well advised to consider all their legal rights and recourse in this situation,” said Bangerlet about potential prevention or reprisals against girls who choose to protest this weekend.
