A new bipartisan survey by the Public Policy Institute of California found the majority of California residents oppose biological male trans athletes competing in women's sports. 

That figure included more than 70% of the state's school parents.

"Most Californians support requiring transgender athletes to compete on teams matching the sex they were assigned at birth," the poll stated. 

"Solid majorities of adults (65%) and likely voters (64%) support requiring that transgender athletes compete on teams that match the sex they were assigned at birth, not the gender they identify with. An overwhelming majority of public school parents (71%) support such a requirement."

California Gov. Gavin Newsom admitted trans athletes competing in girls sports is "deeply unfair" during an episode of his podcast last month but defended allowing it out of empathy for the transgender population. 

The state was one of the first to defy President Donald Trump's "Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports" executive order when he signed it Feb. 5. 

The California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) said it will continue to follow the state's law that allows athletes to participate as whichever gender they identify as, a spokesperson told Fox News Digital. 

"The CIF provides students with the opportunity to belong, connect, and compete in education-based experiences in compliance with California law [Education Code section 221.5. (f)] which permits students to participate in school programs and activities, including athletic teams and competitions, consistent with the student’s gender identity, irrespective of the gender listed on the student’s records," a CIF statement said. 

HOW TRANSGENDERISM IN SPORTS SHIFTED THE 2024 ELECTION AND IGNITED A NATIONAL COUNTERCULTURE

A law, AB 1266, has been in effect since 2014 and gives California students at scholastic and collegiate levels the right to "participate in sex-segregated school programs and activities, including athletic teams and competitions, and use facilities consistent with his or her gender identity, irrespective of the gender listed on the pupil’s records."

California Code of Regulations section 4910(k) defines gender as "a person’s actual sex or perceived sex and includes a person’s perceived identity, appearance or behavior, whether or not that identity, appearance, or behavior is different from that traditionally associated with a person’s sex at birth."

On April 1, the state assembly and its Democratic majority struck down two bills that would have amended the laws to only allow student-athletes to compete based on their biological sex. 

U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon served a warning to Newsom to comply with Trump's order barring transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports. The warning and investigation come after California made itself the first "sanctuary" state in the nation for transgender minors and has engaged in a multi-year battle with school districts over their notification policies. 

"Allowing participation in sex-separated activities based on 'gender identity' places schools at risk of Title IX violations and loss of federal funding. As Governor, you have a duty to inform California school districts of this risk," McMahon wrote in the letter.

"As Secretary of Education, I am officially asking you to inform this Department whether you will remind schools in California to comply with federal law by protecting sex-separated spaces and activities. I am also officially asking you to publicly assure parents that California teachers will not facilitate the fantasy of ‘gender transitions’ for their children."

LeBron James' endorsement of Kamala Harris last year came with an added bonus for him.

Records show that on Jan. 28 the former vice president paid James' entertainment company $50,000 for "campaign event production."

The NBA's all-time leading scorer has long been critical of President Donald Trump, and James urged his followers to "vote Kamala Harris" the week before the election with a video that garnered criticism for out-of-context clips.

James and his longtime business partner, Maverick Carter, founded the company, Springhill Entertainment, in 2020.

"What are we even talking about here?? When I think about my kids and my family and how they will grow up, the choice is clear to me. VOTE KAMALA HARRIS!!!" James posted on X.

With the post, James shared a video that featured negative headlines about Trump's rally at Madison Square Garden and a clip of Tony Hinchcliffe saying he and a Black person in the crowd carved watermelons. The video also features other headlines that said Trump spewed "nazi rhetoric" and clips of African Americans being assaulted.

Commenters said the clips were taken out of context and ripped James, but he doubled down days later.

"Having a daughter, having a wife, having a mother and things of that nature, what (Harris) believes in when it comes to women’s rights that’s what the future with my kids and where I see our country should be. I feel like that endorsement is only right. I mean, come on – you guys know me. It damn sure wasn’t going the other way," he said at the time.

Carter and James have been linked since high school. The two played basketball at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in Akron, Ohio, and are also minority owners of the Boston Red Sox and the English soccer club Liverpool.

When former President Joe Biden decided on Harris as his running mate in 2020, James voiced support.

"Congrats and well deserved Sen. Kamala Harris!! Love to see and support it! Appreciate you JB," he wrote at the time.

The four-time MVP endorsed Hillary Clinton for president during the 2016 election and campaigned for her in Ohio while he was still with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

James previously called Trump a "bum" when Trump rescinded a White House invite to Stephen Curry. 

"Going to White House was a great honor until you showed up!" he said at the time.

Trump also once said it "wasn't easy" to make James "look smart."

When Trump said he was losing interest in the NBA after players knelt during the national anthem, James said, "I really don't think the basketball community are sad about losing his viewership."

Dunne, 22, did not compete this week after revealing in an Instagram post last month that she had been sidelined with an "avulsion fracture of my patella." 

"It absolutely breaks my heart not to get the opportunity to compete in the (Pete Maravich Assembly Center) one last time," Dunne wrote at the time.
