Education Secretary Linda McMahon rips California trans athlete ‘compromise,’ tells Newsom to ‘pick a side’

Education Secretary Linda McMahon criticized California's reintroduced policy allowing trans-identifying biological male athletes to compete in girls' sports, calling it a 'compromise' and urging Gov. Gavin Newsom to take a clear stance. McMahon emphasized Title IX's purpose as protecting female athletes' opportunities, rejecting the idea that girls should compete against biological males, and highlighted a recent case where a biological male athlete, AB Hernandez, won multiple medals in girls' track events.
