Steyer jumps into the girls sports fight
California billionaire Tom Steyer has thrown himself into one of the most explosive fights in the state, and this time it is over girls sports. In a video that many parents will find hard to watch without shaking their heads, Steyer praises AB Hernandez, a biologically male high school runner who competes in the girls division at Jurupa Valley High School. He tells Hernandez, “I’m so proud of you.” Proud of what, exactly? Winning against girls with a built-in physical advantage is not brave, and it is not fair. It is the kind of political theater that lets elite Democrats clap for the very thing regular families are told to accept in silence.
California girls keep paying the price
This is not some small, isolated debate cooked up by cable news. Across California, female athletes have been forced to watch titles, records, and hard-earned opportunities slip away when biological males are allowed to compete as girls. Parents know what is happening, even if the activist class pretends not to. The state’s 2013 AB 1266 law opened the door for males identifying as female to use women’s bathrooms, locker rooms, and sports competition, and the results have been exactly what common sense predicted. Girls train for years, then get told to smile while a policy experiment wipes out the whole point of fair competition. That is not compassion. That is a rigged game dressed up in a rainbow sticker.
Hilton promises to suspend AB 1266
Republican Steve Hilton is taking the opposite approach and saying the quiet part out loud. At a recent rally with former NCAA star Sophia Lorey, state superintendent candidate Sonja Shaw, and Olympic champion Stephanie Brown, Hilton said people’s rights matter, but they cannot come at the expense of the vast majority. He pledged to suspend AB 1266 immediately and challenge it in court as unconstitutional. That is the kind of straight talk California has been missing. If a law is hurting girls and forcing them to surrender medals, records, and fairness, then the answer is not more slogans from the consultant class. The answer is to fight back and restore basic standards before the damage gets even worse.
Newsom and Steyer face a hypocrisy problem
Gavin Newsom’s role in this mess is especially rich, since he has admitted on his own podcast that boys competing against girls is “deeply unfair,” yet he has done nothing to stop it. Now Steyer is out there cheering on the same madness while both men present themselves as champions of women. Newsom and Steyer both have daughters, which makes the political theater even more insulting. They smile for cameras, talk about empowerment, and then back policies that humiliate young female athletes. Parents across California are not fooled, and they are not amused. They see the hypocrisy, they see the unfairness, and they know that girls should not have to lose so politicians can score points with activists who treat biology like a nuisance.

The public backlash is growing because this issue is plain to anyone with a functioning pair of eyes. Across locker rooms, tracks, and school fields, girls are being told to stand aside while biological males take the prizes, the podiums, and the praise. When parents object, they are smeared as cruel or hateful, which is the usual tactic when the left cannot defend the policy on the merits. Most Americans know fairness is not hate speech. It is basic common sense. If California’s leaders keep pretending otherwise, they should not be surprised when voters remember who stood with girls and who stood with the circus.
