LGBTQ rights group in the state celebrated the decision. “The Trump administration’s relentless and hateful campaign against transgender children has hit another roadblock,“ representatives for Rainbow Families Action said in a statement. “This lifts a significant shadow that has been hanging over the joyous and expanding success story of girls’ and women’s sports in California.”

California has opposed such efforts even while putting forth policies such as the California Interscholastic Federation’s program that awarded extra spots and placing for cisgender athletes should a transgender athlete qualify or place in an individual sport.

Currently, 27 states ban transgender girls from competing in girls scholastic athletics. Colorado, Arizona and Washington have potential bans that will be put to voters via ballot initiative this November. Nebraska will put a constitutional amendment on the issue to voters this year as well.
