   Blue State Governor Refuses To Answer When Asked About Boys Competing Against   
   His Daughter   
      
   The governor immediately said he was ready for the next question.

   Washington state's Governor Bob Ferguson refused to answer a reporter's   
   question   
   when asked about his own daughter competing against a man during a recent   
   legislative session.   
      
   "Would you support a biological boy competing against your own child?" Brandi   
   Kruse asked the governor.   
      
     I asked Washington @GovBobFerguson about boys in girls' sports. He accused me   
   of being "obsessed with trans kids" and refused to answer the question. I'm not   
   obsessed with trans kids. I'm obsessed with truth. pic.twitter.com/X1pxhRxsjf

   "I understand your obsession with trans kids," Ferguson replied.   
      
   According to Kruse, Ferguson has been open about his children and his daughter   
   attending a private school. The governor, however, was visibly annoyed with the   
   question and continued to dodge it.   
      
   "Look, we live in a world right now where trans kids are going through a lot.   
   So   
   you know, I want to support trans kids. We have a federal government that   
   essentially wants to erase that community. I'm diametrically opposed to that,"   
   Ferguson said.   
      
   The governor immediately said he was ready for the next question.   
      
   Ferguson often posts about his kids on social media. Kruse raised the question   
   to the governor because his daughter is a softball player who recently signed   
   to   
   play at the next level at Carleton College.   
      
   According to Kruse, Ferguson's daughter attends a private school and hasn't had   
   to deal with men infiltrating the girls' sports teams. The same cannot be said   
   for other girls in the state.   
      
   Veronica Garcia is a biological male who won the 2025 girls' 400-meter state   
   championship for East Valley High School in Spokane, Washington.   
      
   Ahnaleigh Wilson spoke out about losing to a biological male in the 2024   
   Cashmere Junior Olympics regional track meet 1600-meter race in Washington   
   state.   
      
   According to Washington state's regulations, students can participate in any   
   school sport that matches their gender identity.   
      
   This week, for the first time ever, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on   
   two cases involving transgender athletes. Tuesday, the nation's highest court   
   heard Little v Hecox and West Virginia v B.P.J.   
      
   During the oral arguments, the lawyer representing the trans-identifying   
   athlete   
   from Idaho couldn't define biological sex.   
      
   "We do not have a definition for the court, and we don't take issue with the .   
   we're not disputing the definition here," Kathleen Hartnett told the court.   
   "What we're saying is that the way it applies in practice is to exclude birth   
   sex males categorically from women's teams, and that there's a subset of those   
   birth sex males where it doesn't make sense to do so, according to the state's   
   own interest."   
      
   The Court seems ready to side with the states that have banned men from women's   
   sports, which would uphold laws in 27 states.
