So I just really made a practice of listening to people when they got offended and tried to learn from it. But you know what? I never heard anybody get their feathers ruffled about that one, interestingly enough. And more often, I found myself in scenes like doing the sound mix in the booth with two straight men who were laughing their asses off at Sally because she’s so funny and she’s so charming. And that made me so happy because it made me feel like she’s reaching … a lot of people because she’s so smart and charming and funny. And I think that was her superpower: her humor and her charm and being self-deprecating and funny. She could say something really outrageous and then say it with a smile and a twinkle in her eye.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12020655\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12020655 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Sally-Gearhart-with-activist-Cleve-Jones-Photo-Credit_-Daniel-Nicoletta-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2012\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Sally-Gearhart-with-activist-Cleve-Jones-Photo-Credit_-Daniel-Nicoletta-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Sally-Gearhart-with-activist-Cleve-Jones-Photo-Credit_-Daniel-Nicoletta-800x629.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Sally-Gearhart-with-activist-Cleve-Jones-Photo-Credit_-Daniel-Nicoletta-1020x802.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Sally-Gearhart-with-activist-Cleve-Jones-Photo-Credit_-Daniel-Nicoletta-160x126.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Sally-Gearhart-with-activist-Cleve-Jones-Photo-Credit_-Daniel-Nicoletta-1536x1207.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Sally-Gearhart-with-activist-Cleve-Jones-Photo-Credit_-Daniel-Nicoletta-2048x1609.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Sally-Gearhart-with-activist-Cleve-Jones-Photo-Credit_-Daniel-Nicoletta-1920x1509.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sally Gearhart and Cleve Jones at Harvey Milk’s Birthday Street party — just one night after the White Night Riots — on May 22, 1979. \u003ccite>(Daniel Nicoletta)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What would Sally think of the current moment we’re living in?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s sort of like deja vu all over again. There are so many battles that were fought that we need to re-fight. And Sally, I guess depending on whether we channeled Sally in her 40s or 50s or 60s or 80s, would be either ready to step up on the podium and speak up or would want other people to step up and take the baton. I really hope that this film makes young people motivated to step up and get involved, and fight the kind of fights that we’re going to need to fight. And realize that fighting for social justice can be not just a slog but an adventure. It can be fun and exciting, and [we] can approach it with a spirit of kind of can-do-ness and curiosity. And so I hope that people can channel that sort of Sally vibe and spirit to help us move forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

And in fact, her imperfection makes her a role model in my mind, because there are no perfect heroes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12020647\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1088px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12020647 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Harvey-Milk-and-Sally-Gearhart-Photo-Credit_-Steve-Savage.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1088\" height=\"865\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Harvey-Milk-and-Sally-Gearhart-Photo-Credit_-Steve-Savage.jpg 1088w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Harvey-Milk-and-Sally-Gearhart-Photo-Credit_-Steve-Savage-800x636.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Harvey-Milk-and-Sally-Gearhart-Photo-Credit_-Steve-Savage-1020x811.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Harvey-Milk-and-Sally-Gearhart-Photo-Credit_-Steve-Savage-160x127.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1088px) 100vw, 1088px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Harvey Milk and Sally Gearhart. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Steve Savage)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sally Gearhart was instrumental in working with Harvey Milk to defeat Proposition 6, which would have banned gay people from working in public schools.

Sally left San Francisco in 1991, and she was up in her little cabin in Willits. So, she was erased, \u003cem>and \u003c/em>she removed herself from the spotlight. … I think both of those things are true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12020733\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2500px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12020733\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Copy-of-KQED-side-by-side-downpage-image.jpg\" alt=\"A double image, on the left is a woman speaking into a microphone with the words 'No on 6' written behind her on a stage.

So I just really made a practice of listening to people when they got offended and tried to learn from it. But you know what? I never heard anybody get their feathers ruffled about that one, interestingly enough. And more often, I found myself in scenes like doing the sound mix in the booth with two straight men who were laughing their asses off at Sally because she’s so funny and she’s so charming. And that made me so happy because it made me feel like she’s reaching … a lot of people because she’s so smart and charming and funny. And I think that was her superpower: her humor and her charm and being self-deprecating and funny. She could say something really outrageous and then say it with a smile and a twinkle in her eye.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12020655\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12020655 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Sally-Gearhart-with-activist-Cleve-Jones-Photo-Credit_-Daniel-Nicoletta-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2012\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Sally-Gearhart-with-activist-Cleve-Jones-Photo-Credit_-Daniel-Nicoletta-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Sally-Gearhart-with-activist-Cleve-Jones-Photo-Credit_-Daniel-Nicoletta-800x629.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Sally-Gearhart-with-activist-Cleve-Jones-Photo-Credit_-Daniel-Nicoletta-1020x802.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Sally-Gearhart-with-activist-Cleve-Jones-Photo-Credit_-Daniel-Nicoletta-160x126.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Sally-Gearhart-with-activist-Cleve-Jones-Photo-Credit_-Daniel-Nicoletta-1536x1207.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Sally-Gearhart-with-activist-Cleve-Jones-Photo-Credit_-Daniel-Nicoletta-2048x1609.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Sally-Gearhart-with-activist-Cleve-Jones-Photo-Credit_-Daniel-Nicoletta-1920x1509.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sally Gearhart and Cleve Jones at Harvey Milk’s Birthday Street party — just one night after the White Night Riots — on May 22, 1979. \u003ccite>(Daniel Nicoletta)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What would Sally think of the current moment we’re living in?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s sort of like deja vu all over again. There are so many battles that were fought that we need to re-fight. And Sally, I guess depending on whether we channeled Sally in her 40s or 50s or 60s or 80s, would be either ready to step up on the podium and speak up or would want other people to step up and take the baton. I really hope that this film makes young people motivated to step up and get involved, and fight the kind of fights that we’re going to need to fight. And realize that fighting for social justice can be not just a slog but an adventure. It can be fun and exciting, and [we] can approach it with a spirit of kind of can-do-ness and curiosity. And so I hope that people can channel that sort of Sally vibe and spirit to help us move forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Despite \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/legislative-attacks-on-lgbtq-rights-2024\">its reputation as being friendlier to LGBTQ+ communities\u003c/a> than other states, California has not been immune to such measures, with cities like \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/system/files/attachments/press-docs/082723.Complaint.pdf\">Chino enacting name-change policies\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12016463/how-anti-trans-politics-loomed-over-san-jose-states-volleyball-season\">a pending lawsuit at San José State University\u003c/a> over trans women participating in sports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 2024 study by the Trevor Project found that in following years, where some states passed anti-trans laws aimed at minors, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12006633/more-trans-teens-attempted-suicide-after-states-passed-anti-trans-laws-study-shows\">suicides increased as much as 72%\u003c/a> among transgender and gender nonconforming teenagers.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"C\">\u003c/a>What if I think my rights are being violated?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In addition to prohibiting schools from requiring teachers to notify parents of their child’s gender identity or name preferences, the bill will also require schools to develop and update school resources for LGBTQ+ students — such as ways to contact national and local queer organizations, trained counselors or social workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, if a student still thinks that their rights are potentially being violated — for example, if they feel they are at risk of being outed against their will — Lala-Chávez said students should notify school leadership. They also suggested that advocacy organizations like\u003ca href=\"https://www.eqca.org/\"> Equality California\u003c/a> may be able to help in such situations, if a student reaches out directly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Young people also “definitely have every right and opportunity” to contact their elected officials, Lala-Chávez added.

But teachers — who sometimes \u003ca href=\"https://lgbtqcaucus.legislature.ca.gov/sites/lgbtqcaucus.legislature.ca.gov/files/AB%201955%20SAFETY%20Act%20FAQs%20UPDATED%20%28002%29%20__0.pdf\">can be safe confidants\u003c/a> for LGBTQ+ students if their relatives are not — can still provide support and resources to trans students. Lala-Chávez said it was important for students to have strong relationships with adults and educators that they feel comfortable with, especially if the students feel like they are at risk at home. Such adults could include a counselor or a trusted teacher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED also has\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12014337/what-can-trans-folks-do-to-prepare-for-another-trump-administration\"> a guide for trans people\u003c/a> on how to prepare for the upcoming administration, which includes resources, organizations and hotlines they can reach out to.

Despite \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/legislative-attacks-on-lgbtq-rights-2024\">its reputation as being friendlier to LGBTQ+ communities\u003c/a> than other states, California has not been immune to such measures, with cities like \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/system/files/attachments/press-docs/082723.Complaint.pdf\">Chino enacting name-change policies\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12016463/how-anti-trans-politics-loomed-over-san-jose-states-volleyball-season\">a pending lawsuit at San José State University\u003c/a> over trans women participating in sports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 2024 study by the Trevor Project found that in following years, where some states passed anti-trans laws aimed at minors, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12006633/more-trans-teens-attempted-suicide-after-states-passed-anti-trans-laws-study-shows\">suicides increased as much as 72%\u003c/a> among transgender and gender nonconforming teenagers.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"C\">\u003c/a>What if I think my rights are being violated?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In addition to prohibiting schools from requiring teachers to notify parents of their child’s gender identity or name preferences, the bill will also require schools to develop and update school resources for LGBTQ+ students — such as ways to contact national and local queer organizations, trained counselors or social workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, if a student still thinks that their rights are potentially being violated — for example, if they feel they are at risk of being outed against their will — Lala-Chávez said students should notify school leadership.

I don’t think teachers should be gender police.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LGBTQ advocates said that “forced outing” policies, such as those adopted in Chino, Temecula and a dozen other districts, infringe on students’ privacy and could potentially harm students whose parents disapprove of their identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state sued to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/k-12-education/2023/08/culture-wars/\">stop Chino’s policy\u003c/a>, and most districts either scrapped their policies, tweaked the language or put them on hold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This act “could not be more timely or necessary, and LGBTQ+ students across California can breathe a sigh of relief,” Tony Hoang, executive director of Equality California, which advocates for LGBTQ rights, wrote. “LGBTQ+ youth can now have these important family conversations when they are ready and in ways that strengthen the relationship between parent and child, not as a result of extremist politicians intruding into the parent-child relationship.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘The battle continues’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Opponents of the new law said that parental notification policies actually strengthen ties between students and parents, and schools should not withhold information on such important matters. Even though a parental notification measure that would have applied to all schools \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/k-12-education/2024/07/trans-youth-california/\">failed to qualify for the ballot\u003c/a>, opponents vowed to keep fighting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This (law) doesn’t clarify anything. And nothing prevents individual teachers from bringing the issue up with parents,” said Roseville school board member Jonathan Zachreson, an organizer of the failed ballot measure and whose district was among those that passed parental notification policies. “So the battle continues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new law also requires the state Department of Education to update its \u003ca href=\"https://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/pl/supportlgbtq.asp\">LGBTQ resources\u003c/a> and encourage school districts to offer counseling, support groups, clubs, anti-bullying policies and other measures to support LGBTQ students and their families. Schools would have to pay for those services with their existing funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LGBTQ young people are particularly vulnerable on school campuses. In a \u003ca href=\"https://www.thetrevorproject.org/survey-2024/\">recent survey\u003c/a> of 18,000 LGBTQ young people nationwide, nearly half said they had been bullied in the past year, and 10% said they had attempted suicide. Those whose schools supported LGBTQ rights were less likely to suffer from mental health challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if the new law sparks a backlash in more conservative areas of the state, California was right to move forward with it, especially as some states push ahead with their own parental notification policies, said USC education professor Morgan Polikoff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Will everyone like this law? Certainly not. Will it lead to conflict? There is no doubt,” Polikoff said. “But I am hopeful this will be good for the queer kids in California’s schools and will point the way toward similar efforts in other states.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CalMatters’ Adam Echelman contributed to this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Even though a parental notification measure that would have applied to all schools \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/k-12-education/2024/07/trans-youth-california/\">failed to qualify for the ballot\u003c/a>, opponents vowed to keep fighting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This (law) doesn’t clarify anything. And nothing prevents individual teachers from bringing the issue up with parents,” said Roseville school board member Jonathan Zachreson, an organizer of the failed ballot measure and whose district was among those that passed parental notification policies. “So the battle continues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new law also requires the state Department of Education to update its \u003ca href=\"https://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/pl/supportlgbtq.asp\">LGBTQ resources\u003c/a> and encourage school districts to offer counseling, support groups, clubs, anti-bullying policies and other measures to support LGBTQ students and their families. Schools would have to pay for those services with their existing funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LGBTQ young people are particularly vulnerable on school campuses. In a \u003ca href=\"https://www.thetrevorproject.org/survey-2024/\">recent survey\u003c/a> of 18,000 LGBTQ young people nationwide, nearly half said they had been bullied in the past year, and 10% said they had attempted suicide. Those whose schools supported LGBTQ rights were less likely to suffer from mental health challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if the new law sparks a backlash in more conservative areas of the state, California was right to move forward with it, especially as some states push ahead with their own parental notification policies, said USC education professor Morgan Polikoff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Will everyone like this law? Certainly not. Will it lead to conflict? There is no doubt,” Polikoff said. “But I am hopeful this will be good for the queer kids in California’s schools and will point the way toward similar efforts in other states.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CalMatters’ Adam Echelman contributed to this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Entre los invitados estaban Honey Mahogany, directora de la Oficina de Iniciativas Transgénero de San Francisco, quien mencionó que es difícil ofrecer recomendaciones concretas en este momento a las personas trans y sus familias, dada la incertidumbre de lo que está por venir. Pero en medio de estos ataques, dijo Overholt, las elecciones “también han traído una sensación de ‘OK, es hora de ponernos a trabajar, para asegurarnos de que la población de esta zona tenga acceso a lo que necesita”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aún se pueden hacer algunas cosas, incluso en esta fase tan temprana.

Recurrir a los demás también puede ayudar a una persona a sentir el apoyo, y el de su propia comunidad, tras las elecciones, dijo, y ayudarle a “comprender que no estamos solos y que hay personas que luchan y pelean por todos nuestros derechos.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overholt también hace hincapié que organizaciones como Positive Images también intentarán colaborar y fortalecerse sus alianzas para mostrar que se que “la comunidad queer no es un monolito”. “Tenemos personas trans con distintos estatus de inmigración. Tenemos personas trans negras. Tenemos muchos amigos que necesitan apoyo, por los que nuestra organización, como organización queer, no puede hacer mucho”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12015521\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12015521\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/black-trans-lives-picture.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/black-trans-lives-picture.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/black-trans-lives-picture-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/black-trans-lives-picture-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/black-trans-lives-picture-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/black-trans-lives-picture-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Un manifestante sostiene un cartel en el que se lee «Black Trans Lives Matter» (Las vidas de los negros trans importan) durante una marcha en San Francisco en marzo de 2021. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>En este momento, “nuestra verdadera fortaleza va a estar en la creación de coaliciones y en apoyarnos en otras organizaciones como la Asociación Nacional para el Progreso de las Personas de Raza Negra (o NAACP por sus siglas en inglés), como los proveedores de servicios latinos, como nuestra asistencia jurídica local para asegurarnos de que cuando surjan las situaciones, contemos con los recursos a nuestro alcance”, dijo Overholt. “Para que nuestros amigos puedan tomar medidas inmediatas para hacer lo que tienen que hacer, ya sea para curar parte de ese trauma o daño que se ha hecho o para protegerse contra él”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En resumen, que sepa que no está solo, aunque así lo parezca.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Tenga su documentación lista\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>“Una de las cosas más importantes que puede hacer ahora mismo es asegurarse de que sus documentos legales estén en orden”, dijo Overholt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Si usted es trans y está interesado en un cambio de \u003ca href=\"https://transcare.ucsf.edu/legal-info-and-namegender-changes\">nombre legal o cambio de indicación de género\u003c/a>, “usted debe presentar esa documentación mañana”, dijo. \u003ca href=\"https://transgenderlawcenter.org/resources/id/\">El Transgender Law Center ofrece más información sobre el cambio de nombre o de indicación de género\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>La razón por la que esto es urgente, dijo Overholt, es “porque eso probablemente va a ser una de las herramientas [que los californianos tendrán] para proteger nuestro acceso a diferentes recursos y servicios de salud”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates for Trans Equality (A4TE) tiene una guía que explica \u003ca href=\"https://transequality.org/documents\">estado por estado qué hace falta para realizar cambios en sus documentos estatales y federales\u003c/a>, incluyendo:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Su nombre legal\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Su licencia de conducir o identificación estatal\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Su certificado de nacimiento\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Su pasaporte de EE.UU.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Su registro del Seguro Social\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Sus documentos de inmigración\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Si la burocracia de los cambios de nombre o de indicador de género le resulta desalentadora en estos momentos, Honey Mahogany le aconseja que busque apoyo y asesoramiento en las organizaciones LGBTQ+ locales, que pueden contar con equipos especiales para ayudarle en estos procesos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En concreto, Mahogany recomienda el \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfcenter.org/\">Centro LGBT de San Francisco\u003c/a>, el Distrito Transgénero de San Francisco y los \u003ca href=\"https://lyon-martin.org/es/\">Servicios de Salud Comunitarios Lyon-Martin\u003c/a> por el apoyo que puedan prestar a las personas que desean cambiar su nombre o su indicador de género y “poner sus cosas en orden desde el punto de vista legal”.[aside label='Más en español' tag='kqed-en-espanol']“Sólo quiero que la gente se sienta segura”, dijo Mahogany. “Y por eso, en este momento, sólo animo a todas las personas trans a que hagan lo que crean que les hará sentirse más seguras”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¿Y el matrimonio igualitario?

Ahora, en vísperas de un segundo mandato, el fiscal general del estado, Rob Bonta, dijo que California ha “pensado en todas las posibilidades de los ataques a nuestros valores, nuestra gente, nuestro estado, y esperamos que ciertos litigios surjan o ciertas acciones provengan del gobierno federal y ciertos litigios que tomaremos en respuesta.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Hay muchos escenarios diferentes sobre muchos temas diferentes, desde la inmigración hasta el medio ambiente, desde los derechos civiles hasta la seguridad de las armas”, dijo Bonta. “La lista es larga, pero estamos preparados”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Temprano, de Equality California, dijo que “afortunadamente en los últimos años, California ya ha promulgado algunas de las protecciones más fuertes, protecciones legales y apoyos para las personas LGBTQ, y en concreto, las personas trans en toda la nación.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Así que si va a estar en cualquier lugar de este país durante la administración Trump como una persona queer y especialmente trans, California es el lugar más seguro y más afirmativo de la nación para estar”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mahogany hizo hincapié en que esta planeación se está llevando a nivel local, así como en todo el estado.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Aquí en San Francisco, la Oficina de Iniciativas Transgénero está organizando conversaciones con otras organizaciones de transgénero de la ciudad para averiguar cuáles son las necesidades, qué dice y siente la gente, y cómo podemos afrontar los próximos cuatro años», explicó.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Que quede claro que \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/2024/04/16/california-remains-the-worlds-5th-largest-economy/\">California es la quinta economía del mundo\u003c/a>”, dijo Mahogany. “Tenemos mucho poder aquí, y no deberíamos tener miedo de utilizarlo”.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Por último, no se desespere, aunque en estos momentos le parezca mucho pedir\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Todos los activistas con los que habló KQED reconocieron el profundo dolor y la aflicción que sienten muchas personas de la comunidad en estos momentos, y que es importante no forzarse a aceptar nada si aún no se está preparado para ello. Pero Overholt dijo que, como organización, Positive Images quiere transmitir que “no se ha perdido toda esperanza”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nos esperan momentos oscuros”, afirmó. “Pero habrá claridad, y vamos a seguir trabajando, y vamos a permanecer aquí. Llevamos aquí 34 años. Vamos a estar aquí al menos otros 34 más”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Esto no quiere decir que no vaya a ser difícil, pero la perseverancia va a ser la clave aquí”, dijo Overholt. “Sabemos que los efectos emocionales de un trauma, un trauma colectivo compartido como éste, son difíciles. Pero hay recursos, y esperamos que la gente pueda apoyarse en ellos para encontrar algo de tranquilidad”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nuestra comunidad ha sido fuerte y ha demostrado que en muchos momentos en los que hemos estado solos, hemos tenido éxito debido al apoyo de la comunidad que está detrás de este movimiento”, dijo Reyes Salinas. Señaló que la historia de la resistencia LGBTQ+ a la opresión puede traer consuelo especialmente a las personas trans más jóvenes que no eran adultas durante la primera presidencia de Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Esta es una lucha en la que estamos todos juntos, y tenemos esto porque nos tenemos a nosotros”, dijo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Este artículo incluye información de Brian Krans, de KQED.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Este artículo fue traducido por la periodista, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/soytapatia\">María Peña\u003c/a> y editado por el periodista, \u003ca>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Entre los invitados estaban Honey Mahogany, directora de la Oficina de Iniciativas Transgénero de San Francisco, quien mencionó que es difícil ofrecer recomendaciones concretas en este momento a las personas trans y sus familias, dada la incertidumbre de lo que está por venir. Pero en medio de estos ataques, dijo Overholt, las elecciones “también han traído una sensación de ‘OK, es hora de ponernos a trabajar, para asegurarnos de que la población de esta zona tenga acceso a lo que necesita”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aún se pueden hacer algunas cosas, incluso en esta fase tan temprana.

Recurrir a los demás también puede ayudar a una persona a sentir el apoyo, y el de su propia comunidad, tras las elecciones, dijo, y ayudarle a “comprender que no estamos solos y que hay personas que luchan y pelean por todos nuestros derechos.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overholt también hace hincapié que organizaciones como Positive Images también intentarán colaborar y fortalecerse sus alianzas para mostrar que se que “la comunidad queer no es un monolito”. “Tenemos personas trans con distintos estatus de inmigración. Tenemos personas trans negras. Tenemos muchos amigos que necesitan apoyo, por los que nuestra organización, como organización queer, no puede hacer mucho”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12015521\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12015521\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/black-trans-lives-picture.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/black-trans-lives-picture.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/black-trans-lives-picture-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/black-trans-lives-picture-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/black-trans-lives-picture-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/black-trans-lives-picture-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Un manifestante sostiene un cartel en el que se lee «Black Trans Lives Matter» (Las vidas de los negros trans importan) durante una marcha en San Francisco en marzo de 2021. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>En este momento, “nuestra verdadera fortaleza va a estar en la creación de coaliciones y en apoyarnos en otras organizaciones como la Asociación Nacional para el Progreso de las Personas de Raza Negra (o NAACP por sus siglas en inglés), como los proveedores de servicios latinos, como nuestra asistencia jurídica local para asegurarnos de que cuando surjan las situaciones, contemos con los recursos a nuestro alcance”, dijo Overholt. “Para que nuestros amigos puedan tomar medidas inmediatas para hacer lo que tienen que hacer, ya sea para curar parte de ese trauma o daño que se ha hecho o para protegerse contra él”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En resumen, que sepa que no está solo, aunque así lo parezca.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Tenga su documentación lista\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>“Una de las cosas más importantes que puede hacer ahora mismo es asegurarse de que sus documentos legales estén en orden”, dijo Overholt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Si usted es trans y está interesado en un cambio de \u003ca href=\"https://transcare.ucsf.edu/legal-info-and-namegender-changes\">nombre legal o cambio de indicación de género\u003c/a>, “usted debe presentar esa documentación mañana”, dijo. \u003ca href=\"https://transgenderlawcenter.org/resources/id/\">El Transgender Law Center ofrece más información sobre el cambio de nombre o de indicación de género\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>La razón por la que esto es urgente, dijo Overholt, es “porque eso probablemente va a ser una de las herramientas [que los californianos tendrán] para proteger nuestro acceso a diferentes recursos y servicios de salud”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates for Trans Equality (A4TE) tiene una guía que explica \u003ca href=\"https://transequality.org/documents\">estado por estado qué hace falta para realizar cambios en sus documentos estatales y federales\u003c/a>, incluyendo:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Su nombre legal\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Su licencia de conducir o identificación estatal\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Su certificado de nacimiento\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Su pasaporte de EE.UU.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Su registro del Seguro Social\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Sus documentos de inmigración\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Si la burocracia de los cambios de nombre o de indicador de género le resulta desalentadora en estos momentos, Honey Mahogany le aconseja que busque apoyo y asesoramiento en las organizaciones LGBTQ+ locales, que pueden contar con equipos especiales para ayudarle en estos procesos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En concreto, Mahogany recomienda el \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfcenter.org/\">Centro LGBT de San Francisco\u003c/a>, el Distrito Transgénero de San Francisco y los \u003ca href=\"https://lyon-martin.org/es/\">Servicios de Salud Comunitarios Lyon-Martin\u003c/a> por el apoyo que puedan prestar a las personas que desean cambiar su nombre o su indicador de género y “poner sus cosas en orden desde el punto de vista legal”.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Ahora, en vísperas de un segundo mandato, el fiscal general del estado, Rob Bonta, dijo que California ha “pensado en todas las posibilidades de los ataques a nuestros valores, nuestra gente, nuestro estado, y esperamos que ciertos litigios surjan o ciertas acciones provengan del gobierno federal y ciertos litigios que tomaremos en respuesta.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Hay muchos escenarios diferentes sobre muchos temas diferentes, desde la inmigración hasta el medio ambiente, desde los derechos civiles hasta la seguridad de las armas”, dijo Bonta. “La lista es larga, pero estamos preparados”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Temprano, de Equality California, dijo que “afortunadamente en los últimos años, California ya ha promulgado algunas de las protecciones más fuertes, protecciones legales y apoyos para las personas LGBTQ, y en concreto, las personas trans en toda la nación.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Así que si va a estar en cualquier lugar de este país durante la administración Trump como una persona queer y especialmente trans, California es el lugar más seguro y más afirmativo de la nación para estar”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mahogany hizo hincapié en que esta planeación se está llevando a nivel local, así como en todo el estado.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Aquí en San Francisco, la Oficina de Iniciativas Transgénero está organizando conversaciones con otras organizaciones de transgénero de la ciudad para averiguar cuáles son las necesidades, qué dice y siente la gente, y cómo podemos afrontar los próximos cuatro años», explicó.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Que quede claro que \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/2024/04/16/california-remains-the-worlds-5th-largest-economy/\">California es la quinta economía del mundo\u003c/a>”, dijo Mahogany. “Tenemos mucho poder aquí, y no deberíamos tener miedo de utilizarlo”.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Por último, no se desespere, aunque en estos momentos le parezca mucho pedir\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Todos los activistas con los que habló KQED reconocieron el profundo dolor y la aflicción que sienten muchas personas de la comunidad en estos momentos, y que es importante no forzarse a aceptar nada si aún no se está preparado para ello. Pero Overholt dijo que, como organización, Positive Images quiere transmitir que “no se ha perdido toda esperanza”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nos esperan momentos oscuros”, afirmó. “Pero habrá claridad, y vamos a seguir trabajando, y vamos a permanecer aquí. Llevamos aquí 34 años. Vamos a estar aquí al menos otros 34 más”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Esto no quiere decir que no vaya a ser difícil, pero la perseverancia va a ser la clave aquí”, dijo Overholt. “Sabemos que los efectos emocionales de un trauma, un trauma colectivo compartido como éste, son difíciles. Pero hay recursos, y esperamos que la gente pueda apoyarse en ellos para encontrar algo de tranquilidad”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nuestra comunidad ha sido fuerte y ha demostrado que en muchos momentos en los que hemos estado solos, hemos tenido éxito debido al apoyo de la comunidad que está detrás de este movimiento”, dijo Reyes Salinas. Señaló que la historia de la resistencia LGBTQ+ a la opresión puede traer consuelo especialmente a las personas trans más jóvenes que no eran adultas durante la primera presidencia de Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Esta es una lucha en la que estamos todos juntos, y tenemos esto porque nos tenemos a nosotros”, dijo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Este artículo incluye información de Brian Krans, de KQED.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Este artículo fue traducido por la periodista, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/soytapatia\">María Peña\u003c/a> y editado por el periodista, \u003ca>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And it was just exciting. There were really they’re both making points. It was really cool. There are a good amount of spectators there. You know, people’s parents and other students. And for the most part, it looked like any other game. There were some security people there sort of escorting players around and like making sure that people didn’t go in this one area where the players were. There were several students there holding signs in support of the team. There was one protester who was holding a sign that said Protect women’s Sports to oppose the fact that this team was playing with all of its players there.

And I want to talk about how that all started. I mean, the person who really thrust the team into the spotlight was San Jose State’s volleyball team, co-captain Brooke Slusser. Who is Brooke Slusser?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:03:41] \u003c/em>Yeah, she’s like you said, one of the co-captains of the team. She’s played on San Jose State for a couple of years. She played at a different college before that. So at some point earlier this year, Brooke Slusser, according to her court documents, here’s rumors that one of her teammates is trans. According to these documents, she’s really confused and upset about this information, but mostly keeps it to herself until an article comes out on an opinion site about this player. And then they have a conversation and which, according to Brooke, this player tells her that she’s trans. And Brooke says that she doesn’t want the player to be bullied but doesn’t think that she should be playing on the team. Brooks-lasure was reached out to by this group called Icons. It stands for Independent Counsel on Women’s Sports. They’re essentially an anti-trans advocacy group who is funding Reilly Gaines lawsuit against the NCAA to try to keep trans players out of the NCAA. A rally gains as a former college swimmer and now an anti-trans advocate. And so they approached Brooke Slusser and brought her in as an additional plaintiff on this lawsuit. And she, you know, told the court that her teammate is trans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:05:12] \u003c/em>So this happened in September, right? When Slusser joined this already existing lawsuit brought forward first by a former college swimmer named Riley Gaines. What is this lawsuit about exactly? What is it, I guess ultimately seeking to do?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:05:31] \u003c/em>The overall relief that they are seeking is really quite broad. The lawsuit is seeking to ban trans athletes from college sports, trying to get the court to agree that including them violates Title nine, which is the federal law that prohibits discrimination based on sex and educational settings. Also to go back into the history of things and rescind any records or wins from trans athletes. It will require sex verification to make sure there are no trans athletes playing. This would really change how Title nine is being used in in terms of trans bans and stuff like that in courts. Right now, courts have allowed a lot of states to ban trans people from sports. What this would do if this went the way of the plaintiffs is it would say not only can they ban trans people from sports, they actually have to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:06:39] \u003c/em>And I mean, why exactly did Slusser get involved in this lawsuit in the first place? What does she say about her teammates specifically?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:06:49] \u003c/em>I reached out to her to talk about this. You never go back to me, but she did talk on Megan Kelley’s podcast. She’s talk on Fox.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Brooke Slusser: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:06:58] \u003c/em>Everything in my body was like, this is so wrong. It’s not fair. It shouldn’t be happening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:07:04] \u003c/em>She says that her teammate, who she says is trans, is more physically imposing than her, her fellow teammates, that she just has an unbeatable power that puts her and her teammates at risk of injury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Brooke Slusser: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:07:20] \u003c/em>Again, the power behind this swing is just so different. And if you’re not completely prepared for it, you will get blown up. And that’s the scariest part, because that could end your career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:07:31] \u003c/em>She’s saying that, you know, having a player that was born male makes it unfair for her and also dangerous for her and her teammates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Brooke Slusser: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:07:41] \u003c/em>And so I think at the end of the day, I just got so far up, I was like, I want to be able to make this change for other people coming into collegiate sports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:07:48] \u003c/em>I mean, Slusser is alleging, first of all, that she has a trans teammate. But has this teammate said anything publicly about this or her gender identity?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:07:59] \u003c/em>So your listeners will notice that we are not saying her name, and that’s because she hasn’t said anything publicly about her gender identity. San Jose State has not provided any information about her gender identity. They cite privacy laws and they have maintained that all of their players meet NCAA, a Mountain West Conference rules and that’s all they will say about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:08:24] \u003c/em>But we do know who she is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:08:27] \u003c/em>Yes, we do know who she is. Her name has been very much out there. The lawsuits and the articles on conservative sites that Brooke Slusser and others have commented on frequently use him pronouns for this player and generally talk pretty directly about her physicality, etc.. We’re not doing that, but it’s definitely out there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:08:56] \u003c/em>I mean, what do we know about whether Brooke’s allegations are, in fact, true? Like, does this player have any clear physical advantages compared to her teammates?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:09:08] \u003c/em>It seems like no. This player has played for San Jose State for a couple of years, has played at a previous university, and there were no problems that I could find. One of the things that Brooke Slusser and others have said is that, you know, she’s she’s so physically imposing and yet she’s about six one. I looked at the roster for the team and more than half a dozen of the players on that team are above six feet. Volleyball players on the whole are usually quite tall. She’s not even the tallest one on San Jose State University’s team. I talked to a lot of experts who deal with inclusion in sports and who, you know, have read the science and they say that there is no evidence that there is any sort of universal advantage that trans women have in sports, especially once they’ve transitioned medically. Oftentimes, trans women have lower testosterone levels than cisgender women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:10:18] \u003c/em>According to Slusser, her teammates spikes the ball as fast as 80mph, which would make her as strong as some of the best men’s players ever. But ESPN analyzed the speed of the teammates spikes in five different games, including ones that went viral. ESPN found that the average speed of those spikes was just over 50mph, and the fastest was estimated at 64mph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:10:54] \u003c/em>So, Natalia, I mean, how do trans women join a college sports team? Are there special rules that they have to follow in order to qualify?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:11:04] \u003c/em>Yeah, there are. In terms of the NCAA, who manages most college sports teams, their rules generally are that someone has to have medically transitioned, which usually means taking of hormones like like testosterone or estrogen, usually. And they have to have been on that for a certain amount of time. The rules are pretty complicated and spread out to various things for various different sports. But generally, those who have medically transitioned can join sports. Sometimes that means the NCAA will require them to do particular hormone checks throughout the year. But current NCAA rules say that they can play in the sport that aligns with their gender identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:11:50] \u003c/em>Yeah, I mean, and how many people are we actually talking about? How many trans players are actually participating right now in college sports? What do we know about that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:11:58] \u003c/em>Overall, trans people are a really small portion of the American population. And trans athletes are even smaller portion of that small portion. And the ones that make it to the level of Division one, college sports, it’s kind of very small.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:12:17] \u003c/em>So Brooke Slusser and the other people behind the lawsuit are basically arguing that the NCAA rules allowing trans athletes to play violate civil rights law, in particular, Title IX. What are the arguments around that? What have you heard?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:12:34] \u003c/em>Yeah. I reached out to the plaintiffs lawyers, Brooks Loesser’s, lawyers and others on the NCAA lawsuit, and none of them got back to me for comment. But from the lawsuit, basically they do say exactly that. They just say allowing trans people to play on women’s sports teams in itself violates Title IX.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:12:54] \u003c/em>On the other hand, you did talk with people who disagree with that interpretation of Title IX, right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:13:00] \u003c/em>Yeah, exactly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Shiwali Patel: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:13:02] \u003c/em>This would just lead to an incredible marginalization of an already marginalized group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:13:08] \u003c/em>I talked to a lawyer at the National Women’s Law Center show, Shiwali Patel. She’s a title IX expert, and she had not great things to say about this lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Shiwali Patel: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:13:20] \u003c/em>Title IX can’t be used to justify exclusion of a vulnerable group of students from equal educational opportunities based on how they look or play or who they are. What these plaintiffs are seeking to do is to really turn Title nine on its head and to remove it from its purpose of equal educational opportunity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:13:39] \u003c/em>She says that this is not really doing anything to protect women’s sports. There’s a lot less access to facilities. There is a lot less funding, there’s a lot less research in order to to prevent injury. Like there’s a lot of stuff here that needs to be done in terms of protecting women in sports. And she says that none of that has anything to do with kicking trans people out of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Shiwali Patel: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:14:06] \u003c/em>There are well-documented actual issues when it comes to gender inequity in sport that if they were to put their resources and time into that, they could be fighting to achieve gender equity. This is not one of them, you know, and trying to exclude trans women and girls from women and girls sports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:14:23] \u003c/em>I know you talked to people who think that banning trans women from sports is part of this larger effort to restrict LGBTQ rights more broadly. What do you hear from people you spoke to about that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:14:36] \u003c/em>I talked to Erin Reid, who is an independent journalist who covers anti-trans legislation all over the country. And she had a really interesting thought about this, that it really isn’t about any sort of particular advantage, that it’s just about discrimination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Erin Reed: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:14:56] \u003c/em>To be clear, you know, we are seeing bans not just in, you know, heavy impact sports, but we’re also seeing bans on transgender athletes and sports like chess and darts and fishing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:15:10] \u003c/em>And she thought that it was interesting that this is folk focusing on sports because she mentioned that she has heard from conservative pundits that sports is actually an easy way to get people who are against the LGBTQ community. It’s an easy entry point for them to start talking about trans issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Erin Reed: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:15:34] \u003c/em>And many of the same states that started with transgender participation in sports, in fact, not just many. Virtually all of the states, with the exception of Alaska, have gone on to pass gender affirming caravans for trans youth, have gone on to pass other bills like don’t say gay, don’t say trans. We see book bans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:15:51] \u003c/em>I mean, I can’t imagine. What the last few months must have been like for the San Jose State volleyball team. I mean, how often did this issue come up for San Jose State this season?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:16:06] \u003c/em>It was kind of a constant. Several universities forfeited their games against San Jose State and that’s part of what made the news so big because they refused to play the team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:16:21] \u003c/em>And to be clear, these teams were forfeiting in protest of this teammate that Slusser alleges is trans. Right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:16:29] \u003c/em>That’s, I think, a safe assumption. But we don’t know that for sure. Most of the the universities have not said that per se.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Sia Li’ili’i: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:16:40] \u003c/em>At the beginning of this season, brave women across our conference were meeting with their coaches and school administration, telling them that they would not play against San Jose State\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:16:49] \u003c/em>But for example, in in the case of the University of Nevada, Reno, several of the players from that team attended a rally put on by icons, which is that anti-trans organization that’s funding the lawsuit against the NCAA and spoke about the fact that they are against this supposedly trans player being a part of the team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Sia Li’ili’i: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:17:12] \u003c/em>I never expected to be blindsided having to compete against a male athlete. I will continue to fight for my friends, my family, and the next generation of female athletes. All female athletes deserve to be protected at every level and every age. This is unfair and it has to be stopped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:17:36] \u003c/em>The team while having a obviously a very tough season. And I can’t even imagine what it would be like to be on that team right now. I’m sure that the conversations that are happening are really hard. But they were able to make it to the postseason. And just this past week, they played at the Mountain West Conference tournament and had another high profile forfeit from Boise State. But that got them into the into the final match against Colorado. And they did lose that match, but they made it all the way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:18:14] \u003c/em>What if folks from the team said about what this season has been like for them? I mean, sponsor other teammates, the coaches? Have they said anything publicly about what this season has been like?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:18:25] \u003c/em>You know, the whole team has been pretty tight lipped about this. I get the sense that they’re being told by the university and maybe probably by legal advisers at the university to not say anything publicly. So I did not get any responses to my questions about these things from players and from coaches. They were never available after games to talk. Brooks-lasure has talked about, obviously the the lawsuit itself, but we don’t have that much of an insight into what the daily life is and what the daily practices are like for this team. If you took away all of the context and you were just watching them play, I don’t think you would really know that all of this stuff was going on because the two players, Brooks Lesser and the teammate that she says is trans, that she is in court trying to get out of her team. They are playing right next to each other and they’re, you know, for doing pretty well. They won the game. But I went to go see.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:19:33] \u003c/em>San Jose State’s women’s volleyball season has ended, right? It ended last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:19:40] \u003c/em>Yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:19:41] \u003c/em>But how do you think this story could still have ripple effects even beyond San Jose State?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:19:47] \u003c/em>Yeah, I think it is really much bigger than San Jose State. And when we’re talking about sort of trickle down effects of this this sort of lawsuit and this sort of larger political conversation about trans people in sports, is that it can affect people of all gender identities. We could talk about the Olympics this past summer and the Algerian boxer, Amani Khalifa, who is a cisgender woman who people sort of decided, maybe she’s trans. And it became this whole thing. Another example is the situation that happened in Utah, which does have a trans sports ban in place. There was a girl playing high school sports and someone on the athletics association and in relation to the school thought that she was trans. And then there was this whole investigation into this child’s gender, unbeknownst to her or her parents. It can really be a problem where we’re now people are sort of pointing fingers at people, young girls and women who maybe don’t fit gender stereotypes and and now have to somehow prove that they are who they say they are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:21:07] \u003c/em>Natalia, thank you so much for walking us through this story. I really appreciate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:21:12] \u003c/em>It. Thank you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:21:18] \u003c/em>The lawsuit Brooke Slusser is part of that challenges the NCAA rules on transgender players is ongoing. Seltzer also recently joined another lawsuit to ban trans players from the Mountain West Conference specifically.\u003c/p>\n\n",

And for the most part, it looked like any other game. There were some security people there sort of escorting players around and like making sure that people didn’t go in this one area where the players were. There were several students there holding signs in support of the team. There was one protester who was holding a sign that said Protect women’s Sports to oppose the fact that this team was playing with all of its players there. But other than that, it was it was a normal college sports game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:03:14] \u003c/em>Which is really interesting because that is different from how it seems like the rest of the country is talking about San Jose State right now. And I want to talk about how that all started. I mean, the person who really thrust the team into the spotlight was San Jose State’s volleyball team, co-captain Brooke Slusser. Who is Brooke Slusser?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:03:41] \u003c/em>Yeah, she’s like you said, one of the co-captains of the team. She’s played on San Jose State for a couple of years. She played at a different college before that. So at some point earlier this year, Brooke Slusser, according to her court documents, here’s rumors that one of her teammates is trans. According to these documents, she’s really confused and upset about this information, but mostly keeps it to herself until an article comes out on an opinion site about this player. And then they have a conversation and which, according to Brooke, this player tells her that she’s trans. And Brooke says that she doesn’t want the player to be bullied but doesn’t think that she should be playing on the team. Brooks-lasure was reached out to by this group called Icons. It stands for Independent Counsel on Women’s Sports. They’re essentially an anti-trans advocacy group who is funding Reilly Gaines lawsuit against the NCAA to try to keep trans players out of the NCAA. A rally gains as a former college swimmer and now an anti-trans advocate. And so they approached Brooke Slusser and brought her in as an additional plaintiff on this lawsuit. And she, you know, told the court that her teammate is trans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:05:12] \u003c/em>So this happened in September, right? When Slusser joined this already existing lawsuit brought forward first by a former college swimmer named Riley Gaines. What is this lawsuit about exactly? What is it, I guess ultimately seeking to do?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:05:31] \u003c/em>The overall relief that they are seeking is really quite broad. The lawsuit is seeking to ban trans athletes from college sports, trying to get the court to agree that including them violates Title nine, which is the federal law that prohibits discrimination based on sex and educational settings. Also to go back into the history of things and rescind any records or wins from trans athletes. It will require sex verification to make sure there are no trans athletes playing. This would really change how Title nine is being used in in terms of trans bans and stuff like that in courts. Right now, courts have allowed a lot of states to ban trans people from sports. What this would do if this went the way of the plaintiffs is it would say not only can they ban trans people from sports, they actually have to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:06:39] \u003c/em>And I mean, why exactly did Slusser get involved in this lawsuit in the first place? What does she say about her teammates specifically?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:06:49] \u003c/em>I reached out to her to talk about this. You never go back to me, but she did talk on Megan Kelley’s podcast. She’s talk on Fox.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Brooke Slusser: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:06:58] \u003c/em>Everything in my body was like, this is so wrong. It’s not fair. It shouldn’t be happening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:07:04] \u003c/em>She says that her teammate, who she says is trans, is more physically imposing than her, her fellow teammates, that she just has an unbeatable power that puts her and her teammates at risk of injury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Brooke Slusser: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:07:20] \u003c/em>Again, the power behind this swing is just so different. And if you’re not completely prepared for it, you will get blown up. And that’s the scariest part, because that could end your career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:07:31] \u003c/em>She’s saying that, you know, having a player that was born male makes it unfair for her and also dangerous for her and her teammates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Brooke Slusser: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:07:41] \u003c/em>And so I think at the end of the day, I just got so far up, I was like, I want to be able to make this change for other people coming into collegiate sports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:07:48] \u003c/em>I mean, Slusser is alleging, first of all, that she has a trans teammate. But has this teammate said anything publicly about this or her gender identity?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:07:59] \u003c/em>So your listeners will notice that we are not saying her name, and that’s because she hasn’t said anything publicly about her gender identity. San Jose State has not provided any information about her gender identity. They cite privacy laws and they have maintained that all of their players meet NCAA, a Mountain West Conference rules and that’s all they will say about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:08:24] \u003c/em>But we do know who she is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:08:27] \u003c/em>Yes, we do know who she is. Her name has been very much out there. The lawsuits and the articles on conservative sites that Brooke Slusser and others have commented on frequently use him pronouns for this player and generally talk pretty directly about her physicality, etc.. We’re not doing that, but it’s definitely out there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:08:56] \u003c/em>I mean, what do we know about whether Brooke’s allegations are, in fact, true? Like, does this player have any clear physical advantages compared to her teammates?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:09:08] \u003c/em>It seems like no. This player has played for San Jose State for a couple of years, has played at a previous university, and there were no problems that I could find. One of the things that Brooke Slusser and others have said is that, you know, she’s she’s so physically imposing and yet she’s about six one. I looked at the roster for the team and more than half a dozen of the players on that team are above six feet. Volleyball players on the whole are usually quite tall. She’s not even the tallest one on San Jose State University’s team. I talked to a lot of experts who deal with inclusion in sports and who, you know, have read the science and they say that there is no evidence that there is any sort of universal advantage that trans women have in sports, especially once they’ve transitioned medically. Oftentimes, trans women have lower testosterone levels than cisgender women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:10:18] \u003c/em>According to Slusser, her teammates spikes the ball as fast as 80mph, which would make her as strong as some of the best men’s players ever. But ESPN analyzed the speed of the teammates spikes in five different games, including ones that went viral. ESPN found that the average speed of those spikes was just over 50mph, and the fastest was estimated at 64mph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:10:54] \u003c/em>So, Natalia, I mean, how do trans women join a college sports team? Are there special rules that they have to follow in order to qualify?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:11:04] \u003c/em>Yeah, there are. In terms of the NCAA, who manages most college sports teams, their rules generally are that someone has to have medically transitioned, which usually means taking of hormones like like testosterone or estrogen, usually. And they have to have been on that for a certain amount of time. The rules are pretty complicated and spread out to various things for various different sports. But generally, those who have medically transitioned can join sports. Sometimes that means the NCAA will require them to do particular hormone checks throughout the year. But current NCAA rules say that they can play in the sport that aligns with their gender identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:11:50] \u003c/em>Yeah, I mean, and how many people are we actually talking about? How many trans players are actually participating right now in college sports? What do we know about that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:11:58] \u003c/em>Overall, trans people are a really small portion of the American population. And trans athletes are even smaller portion of that small portion. And the ones that make it to the level of Division one, college sports, it’s kind of very small.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:12:17] \u003c/em>So Brooke Slusser and the other people behind the lawsuit are basically arguing that the NCAA rules allowing trans athletes to play violate civil rights law, in particular, Title IX. What are the arguments around that? What have you heard?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:12:34] \u003c/em>Yeah. I reached out to the plaintiffs lawyers, Brooks Loesser’s, lawyers and others on the NCAA lawsuit, and none of them got back to me for comment. But from the lawsuit, basically they do say exactly that. They just say allowing trans people to play on women’s sports teams in itself violates Title IX.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:12:54] \u003c/em>On the other hand, you did talk with people who disagree with that interpretation of Title IX, right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:13:00] \u003c/em>Yeah, exactly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Shiwali Patel: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:13:02] \u003c/em>This would just lead to an incredible marginalization of an already marginalized group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:13:08] \u003c/em>I talked to a lawyer at the National Women’s Law Center show, Shiwali Patel. She’s a title IX expert, and she had not great things to say about this lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Shiwali Patel: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:13:20] \u003c/em>Title IX can’t be used to justify exclusion of a vulnerable group of students from equal educational opportunities based on how they look or play or who they are. What these plaintiffs are seeking to do is to really turn Title nine on its head and to remove it from its purpose of equal educational opportunity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:13:39] \u003c/em>She says that this is not really doing anything to protect women’s sports. There’s a lot less access to facilities. There is a lot less funding, there’s a lot less research in order to to prevent injury. Like there’s a lot of stuff here that needs to be done in terms of protecting women in sports. And she says that none of that has anything to do with kicking trans people out of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Shiwali Patel: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:14:06] \u003c/em>There are well-documented actual issues when it comes to gender inequity in sport that if they were to put their resources and time into that, they could be fighting to achieve gender equity. This is not one of them, you know, and trying to exclude trans women and girls from women and girls sports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:14:23] \u003c/em>I know you talked to people who think that banning trans women from sports is part of this larger effort to restrict LGBTQ rights more broadly. What do you hear from people you spoke to about that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:14:36] \u003c/em>I talked to Erin Reid, who is an independent journalist who covers anti-trans legislation all over the country. And she had a really interesting thought about this, that it really isn’t about any sort of particular advantage, that it’s just about discrimination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Erin Reed: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:14:56] \u003c/em>To be clear, you know, we are seeing bans not just in, you know, heavy impact sports, but we’re also seeing bans on transgender athletes and sports like chess and darts and fishing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:15:10] \u003c/em>And she thought that it was interesting that this is folk focusing on sports because she mentioned that she has heard from conservative pundits that sports is actually an easy way to get people who are against the LGBTQ community. It’s an easy entry point for them to start talking about trans issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Erin Reed: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:15:34] \u003c/em>And many of the same states that started with transgender participation in sports, in fact, not just many. Virtually all of the states, with the exception of Alaska, have gone on to pass gender affirming caravans for trans youth, have gone on to pass other bills like don’t say gay, don’t say trans. We see book bans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:15:51] \u003c/em>I mean, I can’t imagine. What the last few months must have been like for the San Jose State volleyball team. I mean, how often did this issue come up for San Jose State this season?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:16:06] \u003c/em>It was kind of a constant. Several universities forfeited their games against San Jose State and that’s part of what made the news so big because they refused to play the team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:16:21] \u003c/em>And to be clear, these teams were forfeiting in protest of this teammate that Slusser alleges is trans. Right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:16:29] \u003c/em>That’s, I think, a safe assumption. But we don’t know that for sure. Most of the the universities have not said that per se.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Sia Li’ili’i: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:16:40] \u003c/em>At the beginning of this season, brave women across our conference were meeting with their coaches and school administration, telling them that they would not play against San Jose State\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:16:49] \u003c/em>But for example, in in the case of the University of Nevada, Reno, several of the players from that team attended a rally put on by icons, which is that anti-trans organization that’s funding the lawsuit against the NCAA and spoke about the fact that they are against this supposedly trans player being a part of the team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Sia Li’ili’i: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:17:12] \u003c/em>I never expected to be blindsided having to compete against a male athlete. I will continue to fight for my friends, my family, and the next generation of female athletes. All female athletes deserve to be protected at every level and every age. This is unfair and it has to be stopped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:17:36] \u003c/em>The team while having a obviously a very tough season. And I can’t even imagine what it would be like to be on that team right now. I’m sure that the conversations that are happening are really hard. But they were able to make it to the postseason. And just this past week, they played at the Mountain West Conference tournament and had another high profile forfeit from Boise State. But that got them into the into the final match against Colorado. And they did lose that match, but they made it all the way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:18:14] \u003c/em>What if folks from the team said about what this season has been like for them? I mean, sponsor other teammates, the coaches? Have they said anything publicly about what this season has been like?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:18:25] \u003c/em>You know, the whole team has been pretty tight lipped about this. I get the sense that they’re being told by the university and maybe probably by legal advisers at the university to not say anything publicly. So I did not get any responses to my questions about these things from players and from coaches. They were never available after games to talk. Brooks-lasure has talked about, obviously the the lawsuit itself, but we don’t have that much of an insight into what the daily life is and what the daily practices are like for this team. If you took away all of the context and you were just watching them play, I don’t think you would really know that all of this stuff was going on because the two players, Brooks Lesser and the teammate that she says is trans, that she is in court trying to get out of her team. They are playing right next to each other and they’re, you know, for doing pretty well. They won the game. But I went to go see.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:19:33] \u003c/em>San Jose State’s women’s volleyball season has ended, right? It ended last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:19:40] \u003c/em>Yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:19:41] \u003c/em>But how do you think this story could still have ripple effects even beyond San Jose State?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:19:47] \u003c/em>Yeah, I think it is really much bigger than San Jose State. And when we’re talking about sort of trickle down effects of this this sort of lawsuit and this sort of larger political conversation about trans people in sports, is that it can affect people of all gender identities. We could talk about the Olympics this past summer and the Algerian boxer, Amani Khalifa, who is a cisgender woman who people sort of decided, maybe she’s trans. And it became this whole thing. Another example is the situation that happened in Utah, which does have a trans sports ban in place. There was a girl playing high school sports and someone on the athletics association and in relation to the school thought that she was trans. And then there was this whole investigation into this child’s gender, unbeknownst to her or her parents. It can really be a problem where we’re now people are sort of pointing fingers at people, young girls and women who maybe don’t fit gender stereotypes and and now have to somehow prove that they are who they say they are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:21:07] \u003c/em>Natalia, thank you so much for walking us through this story. I really appreciate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Natalia Navarro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:21:12] \u003c/em>It. Thank you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Boise State, which twice boycotted regular-season matches with San José State, pulled out of the Mountain West women’s volleyball tournament Wednesday night even after securing a spot in the semifinals against the Spartans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San José State, which received six forfeit victories \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/san-jose-state-volleyball-transgender-forfeit-3481bc5bfd68ad9aecef9cff7f497465\">because of boycotts\u003c/a> from Mountain West opponents, is seeded second in the conference tournament and received a first-round bye. Now the Spartans will advance all the way to Saturday’s championship match rather than take the court Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boise State released a statement that read: “The decision to not continue to play in the 2024 Mountain West Volleyball Championship tournament was not an easy one. Our team overcame forfeitures to earn a spot in the tournament field and fought for the win over Utah State in the first round on Wednesday. They should not have to forgo this opportunity while waiting for a more thoughtful and better system that serves all athletes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San José State issued a statement to KQED news that read: “In this time of Thanksgiving, we are especially thankful for those who continue to engage in civil and respectful discourse. We celebrate and support all of our students, including our student-athletes as they compete for our community on this holiday weekend. While we are disappointed in Boise State’s decision, our women’s volleyball team is preparing for Saturday’s match and looks forward to competing for a championship.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boise State’s announcement came hours after the Broncos defeated Utah State 25–19, 18–25, 25–20, 25–23 in the quarterfinals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boise State didn’t commit immediately after the match to playing San José State. What went into its decision to withdraw from the tournament was unclear, whether it was by a team vote or more of a university decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The title match likely will go on as scheduled. San Jose State will play either top-seeded Colorado State or No. 5 San Diego State.

Our team overcame forfeitures to earn a spot in the tournament field and fought for the win over Utah State in the first round on Wednesday. They should not have to forgo this opportunity while waiting for a more thoughtful and better system that serves all athletes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San José State issued a statement to KQED news that read: “In this time of Thanksgiving, we are especially thankful for those who continue to engage in civil and respectful discourse. We celebrate and support all of our students, including our student-athletes as they compete for our community on this holiday weekend. While we are disappointed in Boise State’s decision, our women’s volleyball team is preparing for Saturday’s match and looks forward to competing for a championship.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boise State’s announcement came hours after the Broncos defeated Utah State 25–19, 18–25, 25–20, 25–23 in the quarterfinals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Trump is for you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the success of that part of its closing argument, the new Trump administration is likely to turn to policy affecting transgender people early in its tenure. The issue is mentioned twice in President-elect Donald Trump’s 20-point \u003ca href=\"https://www.donaldjtrump.com/platform\">“Agenda 47” platform\u003c/a>: #16 Cut funding to schools that teach “radical gender ideology”; and #17 “Keep men out of women’s sports.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what about health care for transgender people? The Trump campaign and conservative think tanks offer several indications of how policy could change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A federal ban on gender-affirming care for minors is likely, says Jon Schweppe, policy director at the American Principles Project, a conservative political advocacy group that has advocated against transgender policy for years. “With adults, I think the American people are much less enthusiastic about a full ban [on gender affirming care], but with kids, they’re all about it,” Schweppe asserts. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kff.org/other/dashboard/gender-affirming-care-policy-tracker/\">About half of states\u003c/a> have enacted such a ban, although polls vary on how much or little the broader public supports these efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are also plans to curb access to gender transition by limiting insurance coverage. To do this, Republicans could take a page from the anti-abortion rights playbook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Definitely one of our goals is to create a Hyde Amendment for so-called gender-affirming care,” says Schweppe. The Hyde Amendment is a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kff.org/womens-health-policy/issue-brief/the-hyde-amendment-and-coverage-for-abortion-services-under-medicaid-in-the-post-roe-era/#:~:text=Starting%20in%201977%2C%20the%20Hyde,result%20from%20rape%20or%20incest.\">1977 policy\u003c/a> that prohibits federal dollars from paying for abortion with limited exceptions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t believe taxpayer funding should go towards that for minors or for adults. We’ve poll tested that, and we’re pretty confident that the American people agree,” Schweppe says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Hyde Amendment largely is responsible for how abortion came to operate outside of the usual health insurance system. Patients often pay in cash, either because they don’t have coverage for abortion, or because they don’t want an abortion on their medical record. In response, abortion funds were created to allow people who don’t have insurance coverage or the means to afford an abortion on their own to have access.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Investment in ‘a political winner’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In the presidential race alone, Republicans spent more than $46 million on the “Kamala is for they/them” message, according to a report by AdImpact shared with NPR.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This has shown itself to be a political winner,” says Schweppe. Overall, the party spent $222 million on anti-trans and LGBTQ ads during the 2024 campaign. Democrats, in contrast, spent just under $29 million on LGBTQ ads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some congressional Republicans are signaling their eagerness to turn anti-trans campaign messaging into lawmaking.

(Surgery is very rare for minors.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/73/su/su7304a9.htm?s_cid=su7304a9_w\">recent report\u003c/a> from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 3% of high school students describe themselves as transgender, although not all of them necessarily want medical interventions related to that identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CDC found trans students “experienced a higher prevalence of violence, poor mental health, suicidal thoughts and behaviors, and unstable housing.” The report goes on to note that “having supportive families and peers, feeling connected to family and school, having affirmed name and pronouns used consistently by others, and having a sense of pride of identity are protective factors for transgender students that buffer the effects of minority stressors and promote better mental health.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trevor Project, which runs a 24/7 crisis line for LGBTQ youth and answers calls from the 988 crisis line for this population, recently \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2024/09/25/nx-s1-5127347/more-trans-teens-attempted-suicide-after-states-passed-anti-trans-laws-a-study-shows\">published an analysis\u003c/a> finding that transgender youth were more likely to attempt suicide after their home state passed a ban on gender affirming care for youth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The day after the election, there was a 700% increase in calls to the crisis line, which marked the largest surge in daily contact ever, the Trevor Project wrote to NPR in a statement. Even though the volume has done down since Nov 6, “volume remains higher than normal as LGBTQ+ young people continue to reach out, overwhelmingly, to discuss concerns about the 2024 election results,” the statement reads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schweppe, of the American Principles Project, dismisses that data point, claiming research on suicide risk in this population is exaggerated. “We are diametrically opposed to what their goals are,” he says of the Trevor Project, whose work he described as indoctrination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if children may be suffering from gender dysphoria, he says, “we should be trying to help them identify with their with their biological sex, try to feel help them feel comfortable with their bodies, not tell them that their bodies are wrong, that the way God made them is wrong,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Importantly, the American Academy of Pediatrics notes in \u003ca href=\"https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/142/4/e20182162/37381/Ensuring-Comprehensive-Care-and-Support-for?autologincheck=redirected\">a policy statement\u003c/a> that conversion or reparative therapies “have been proven to be not only unsuccessful but also deleterious and are considered outside the mainstream of traditional medical practice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The shifting legal landscape\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>On Dec. 4, before the next Trump presidential term begins in January, the Supreme Court will hear arguments on whether Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth is constitutional, and by extension, the bans in 25 other states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sharp of the Alliance Defending Freedom says he hopes that the high court will decide on the substance of the case. “Ultimately, we hope that it will rule in favor of these state laws and allow them to go into effect,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seldin of the ACLU, which represents the Tennessee transgender kids and families who brought the case, says it’s hard to predict what will happen after oral arguments, but that they’re prepared to “be flexible with what we need to do to meet the moment.” He says LGBTQ advocates are equally determined to keep fighting for the rights of transgender people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the justices do hold that the bans are unconstitutional, conservative advocacy groups like the American Principles Project plan to “pursue other avenues to effectively shut down these gender clinics,” Schweppe says. That’s the overall goal, he adds. “I think we’ve been very transparent about that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s not worried about the difficulties of passing laws on transgender issues with narrow Republican majorities in the House and Senate. He points to \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/06/nyregion/democrats-house-ny.html\">several Democrats\u003c/a> who argued in recent weeks that support for transgender people cost the party electoral wins, and who might cross party lines to support a bill on women’s sports, for instance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The case that groups like ours are making to Republican leadership is that, not only is this the right thing to do and these are the right laws to pass, but they’re also of great political benefit,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The Trump campaign and conservative think tanks offer several indications of how policy could change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A federal ban on gender-affirming care for minors is likely, says Jon Schweppe, policy director at the American Principles Project, a conservative political advocacy group that has advocated against transgender policy for years. “With adults, I think the American people are much less enthusiastic about a full ban [on gender affirming care], but with kids, they’re all about it,” Schweppe asserts. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kff.org/other/dashboard/gender-affirming-care-policy-tracker/\">About half of states\u003c/a> have enacted such a ban, although polls vary on how much or little the broader public supports these efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are also plans to curb access to gender transition by limiting insurance coverage. To do this, Republicans could take a page from the anti-abortion rights playbook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The Hyde Amendment is a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kff.org/womens-health-policy/issue-brief/the-hyde-amendment-and-coverage-for-abortion-services-under-medicaid-in-the-post-roe-era/#:~:text=Starting%20in%201977%2C%20the%20Hyde,result%20from%20rape%20or%20incest.\">1977 policy\u003c/a> that prohibits federal dollars from paying for abortion with limited exceptions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t believe taxpayer funding should go towards that for minors or for adults. We’ve poll tested that, and we’re pretty confident that the American people agree,” Schweppe says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Hyde Amendment largely is responsible for how abortion came to operate outside of the usual health insurance system. Patients often pay in cash, either because they don’t have coverage for abortion, or because they don’t want an abortion on their medical record. In response, abortion funds were created to allow people who don’t have insurance coverage or the means to afford an abortion on their own to have access.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Investment in ‘a political winner’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In the presidential race alone, Republicans spent more than $46 million on the “Kamala is for they/them” message, according to a report by AdImpact shared with NPR.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This has shown itself to be a political winner,” says Schweppe. Overall, the party spent $222 million on anti-trans and LGBTQ ads during the 2024 campaign. Democrats, in contrast, spent just under $29 million on LGBTQ ads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some congressional Republicans are signaling their eagerness to turn anti-trans campaign messaging into lawmaking.

(Surgery is very rare for minors.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/73/su/su7304a9.htm?s_cid=su7304a9_w\">recent report\u003c/a> from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 3% of high school students describe themselves as transgender, although not all of them necessarily want medical interventions related to that identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CDC found trans students “experienced a higher prevalence of violence, poor mental health, suicidal thoughts and behaviors, and unstable housing.” The report goes on to note that “having supportive families and peers, feeling connected to family and school, having affirmed name and pronouns used consistently by others, and having a sense of pride of identity are protective factors for transgender students that buffer the effects of minority stressors and promote better mental health.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trevor Project, which runs a 24/7 crisis line for LGBTQ youth and answers calls from the 988 crisis line for this population, recently \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2024/09/25/nx-s1-5127347/more-trans-teens-attempted-suicide-after-states-passed-anti-trans-laws-a-study-shows\">published an analysis\u003c/a> finding that transgender youth were more likely to attempt suicide after their home state passed a ban on gender affirming care for youth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The day after the election, there was a 700% increase in calls to the crisis line, which marked the largest surge in daily contact ever, the Trevor Project wrote to NPR in a statement. Even though the volume has done down since Nov 6, “volume remains higher than normal as LGBTQ+ young people continue to reach out, overwhelmingly, to discuss concerns about the 2024 election results,” the statement reads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schweppe, of the American Principles Project, dismisses that data point, claiming research on suicide risk in this population is exaggerated. “We are diametrically opposed to what their goals are,” he says of the Trevor Project, whose work he described as indoctrination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if children may be suffering from gender dysphoria, he says, “we should be trying to help them identify with their with their biological sex, try to feel help them feel comfortable with their bodies, not tell them that their bodies are wrong, that the way God made them is wrong,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Importantly, the American Academy of Pediatrics notes in \u003ca href=\"https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/142/4/e20182162/37381/Ensuring-Comprehensive-Care-and-Support-for?autologincheck=redirected\">a policy statement\u003c/a> that conversion or reparative therapies “have been proven to be not only unsuccessful but also deleterious and are considered outside the mainstream of traditional medical practice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The shifting legal landscape\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>On Dec. 4, before the next Trump presidential term begins in January, the Supreme Court will hear arguments on whether Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth is constitutional, and by extension, the bans in 25 other states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sharp of the Alliance Defending Freedom says he hopes that the high court will decide on the substance of the case. “Ultimately, we hope that it will rule in favor of these state laws and allow them to go into effect,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seldin of the ACLU, which represents the Tennessee transgender kids and families who brought the case, says it’s hard to predict what will happen after oral arguments, but that they’re prepared to “be flexible with what we need to do to meet the moment.” He says LGBTQ advocates are equally determined to keep fighting for the rights of transgender people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the justices do hold that the bans are unconstitutional, conservative advocacy groups like the American Principles Project plan to “pursue other avenues to effectively shut down these gender clinics,” Schweppe says. That’s the overall goal, he adds. “I think we’ve been very transparent about that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s not worried about the difficulties of passing laws on transgender issues with narrow Republican majorities in the House and Senate. He points to \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/06/nyregion/democrats-house-ny.html\">several Democrats\u003c/a> who argued in recent weeks that support for transgender people cost the party electoral wins, and who might cross party lines to support a bill on women’s sports, for instance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
