Trump threatens to revoke California's state funding over transgender high school athlete

US President Donald Trump launched another attack on trans women's participation in women's sports on Tuesday, when he warned Governor Gavin Newsom that state funding for California would be revoked if it does not adhere to his executive order on the subject.

Taking to his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote: “As a Female, this transitioned person is practically unbeatable. THIS IS NOT FAIR, AND TOTALLY DEMEANING TO WOMEN AND GIRLS.
