Newsom office source responds to planned protest against trans athlete at state playoff girls' track meet
Sophia Lorey is organizing a repeat protest as federal and state scrutiny over Jurupa Valley High School’s trans athlete continues.
Summary
The upcoming California high school girls' track and field postseason is set to feature a trans athlete from Jurupa Valley High School (JVHS). A protest, organized by former NCAA women's soccer player Sophia Lorey, will be held at the site of the California Interscholastic Southern Section, Division 3, preliminaries on Saturday. Lorey, a prominent "Save Girls' Sports" activist in the state, organized a similar protest at the same round last year, bringing national attention to the state playoffs. The issue eventually caught the attention of President Donald Trump, who, in a Truth Social post, called out Gov. Gavin Newsom for his state's continued policies that allowed biological males to compete in girls' sports.
