In a bizarre turn of events, the Trump administration has issued a new mandate for the state of California: all transgender girls must be barred from participating in girls sports. Yes, you heard that right. The administration is arguing that allowing transgender girls to compete in girls sports is a threat to the integrity of the competition.
In a statement released by Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, she said, “We simply cannot allow these trans girls to dominate girls sports. It’s unfair to the real girls who were born with the right chromosomes. It’s a matter of national security, folks.” When asked for further clarification, DeVos added, “I mean, can you imagine if a trans girl wins the state championship in track and field? It would be chaos. Cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria!”
Not to be outdone, Vice President Mike Pence chimed in with his own thoughts on the matter. “As a staunch supporter of traditional family values, I cannot in good conscience allow these trans girls to infiltrate our girls sports teams. It goes against everything I believe in,” Pence remarked. When pressed for more details, Pence simply stated, “I’m sorry, I can’t hear you over the sound of my own bigotry.”
California Governor Gavin Newsom was quick to respond to the administration’s demands, calling them “absurd and discriminatory.” In a press conference, Newsom declared, “We will not stand for this blatant attack on the LGBTQ+ community. Trans girls deserve the same opportunities as any other girl, and we will fight to protect their rights.”
In a surprising twist, former reality TV star and current President Donald Trump took to Twitter to express his support for the administration’s decision. “Trans girls are a threat to our way of life. We must protect our girls sports at all costs. #MakeGirlsSportsGreatAgain,” Trump tweeted.
As the debate rages on, one thing is clear: the Trump administration will stop at nothing to push their agenda, even if it means discriminating against transgender individuals. Let’s hope common sense prevails and that all girls, regardless of gender identity, are given the chance to compete on a level playing field.
