"deeply unfair"
Betty Yee supports allowing transgender female athletes to compete in women's sports and recognizes they have undergone physical transition. She expressed openness to gender-neutral categories in certain events at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Yee called for more research on transgender physiology and acknowledged ongoing discussion about competition in the same field. Governor Gavin Newsom characterized transgender participation as "deeply unfair" and warned it was hurting Democrats at the polls, prompting backlash from some party members who accused him of abandoning a vulnerable minority. California legislation on transgender athlete participation is central to a national debate.
