- Top Republicans embrace anti-trans measure as a wedge in November races
Republican candidates are backing Proposition 318, an anti-trans ballot measure that would expand existing prohibitions on trans girls joining sports teams to private youth recreational organizations. The proposal also threatens to require schools and athletic associations to restrict access to 'private spaces' like bathrooms and locker rooms based on biological sex. Critics argue this will lead to intrusive enforcement policies.
