The California State Legislature could not approve two separate bills aimed at protecting the sports of trans inclusion on Tuesday. During the debate for one of the bills, a democratic state legislator compared the proposals with the practices used by Nazi Germany in the Holocaust.
The Member of the California Assembly, Rick Chavez Zbur, made the comparison while arguing against the first bill, AB 89.
“This really reminds me of what happened in Nazi Germany in the 1930s. We are moving towards autocracy in this country. In Nazi Germany, transgender people were persecuted, prohibited from public life,” Zbur said.
Then, Zbur was interrupted by mediators who protested his comparison and argued that he was out of order. But Zbur continued his analogy.
“This is this, it is this bill,” Zbur argued. “Public life was prohibited. They were arrested. They were imprisoned and killed in concentration camps. And the way it began was the same type of things that are happening in this country by the Trump administration.”

The Member of the Republican Assembly of California, Kate Sánchez, who proposed AB 89, said he listened to audible gasps in the assembly camera during Zbur’s discussion, and that an assistant had to apologize to the room.
“There were many gasps and shock,” Sanchez told Pak Gazette Digital.
“She was very deaf. We had a mother who had been in the Holocaust itself, so she had to leave the auditory committee because it was very offensive to listen … she stood up and left because she was very uncomfortable with the situation.”
Multiple Democratic residents, including a member of the LGBTQ community, appeared on the floor of the assembly on Tuesday to advocate in support of the bill.
But Ab 89 was finally attacked by the democratic majority. However, reconsideration will be allowed at a later date.
“I am so disgusted that my Democratic colleagues could not bear the protection of women and girls,” said Sánchez. “Not only do they ignore the will of the people … They are ignoring the daily mother, dad, girl in sports. They are ignoring their wishes.
The member of the Democratic Assembly, Avalino Valencia, was absent from Tuesday’s vote. The president of the Assembly Robert Rivas was inserted in the vote committee in the absence of Valencia. The Valencia office has not responded to the request for Pak Gazette Digital comments.
Only moments after the Democrats annulled Sánchez’s bill, the Committee voted on AB 844, which would also prohibit trans athletes from the sports of girls and was proposed by the member of the Republican Assembly of California, Bill Essayli. The debate for the Essayli bill presented a testimony of the conservative activist and filmmaker Matt Walsh.

And like Sanchez’s bill, the Democratic majority also attacked Essayli. Essayli told Pak Gazette Digital that he believes that Democrat’s resistance to the two bills had the intention of sending a message to Governor Gavin Newsom.
Newsom caused a violent reaction of those at his own party with comments in his podcast last month, expressing his belief that trans athletes in girls sports were “deeply unfair”, but defended allowing him anyway.
“I think there is really a civil war here that is brewing within the Democratic Party on how to address these problems. You have the governor in one direction, and I think that what he saw today with the leadership in the legislature, which tends to be even more radical and progressive than the governor, adopting a completely different approach. And I think they wanted to send a message to the governor who do not make fun of this issue, Issisil said.
“Today they wanted to send a message to their progressive and extremist base that they are not abandoning.”
The democratic majority prevented both bills from passing only a few days after President Donald Trump’s Secretary of Education, Linda McMahon, sent a formal warning to Newsom and the rest of the State, suggesting that federal funds can be reduced to the State if it continues to allow trans inclusion in girls’ sports.

“Allow participation in separated sex -based activities based on ‘gender identity’ California school districts Of this risk, “McMahon wrote in the letter.
“As Secretary of Education, I officially ask you to report to this department if you remind schools in California that they comply with federal law through the protection of spaces and activities separated by sex. I also officially ask you to publicly assure parents that the teachers of California will not facilitate the fantasy of the ‘gender transitions’ for their children.”

The State High School Sports Association, the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF), is currently under federal investigation for Possible Violations of Title IX After several controversial incidents that involved trans athletes occurred during the last year.
The CIF was one of the first state athletic associations to announce that it would continue to allow Trans athletes to compete with girls after Trump signed the executive order to “keep men out of women’s sports” on February 5. The CIF declared a state law of 11 years, AB 1266, which has been in force since 2014 and offers trans athletes the right to participate in the gender category based on gender identity and not the sex of birth, for breach.
Both Sánchez and Essayli told Pak Gazette Digital that they expect the Trump administration to amplify their pressure on the State and potentially reduce the funds to enforce the executive order after their invoices were not approved on Tuesday.
“I think many will come through the pipeline for next week,” said Sánchez. “There will be a lot of development of what they have told me.”
ESIVLI foresees a situation that develops in California similar to that which has been developed in Maine during the last month, since a public dispute between Trump and Governor Janet Mills has resulted in a round trip between state and federal agencies on the issue of trans inclusion.
“None of us really thought about thinking that the Democrats in the legislature were going to change their position on this today, but what we wanted to do is make a clear record, make our arguments and show the world where they are standing, where the Democrats are in this, expose their position on this,” said Essayli. “And I think we achieved that.”
