[laughter] meteorologist: it's coming.

it all happened the middle the latter part of next week. people have been waiting for summer, and it has been below average much of the month. let's look at live doppler 7. part of the issue is, it's been one low-pressure after another moving in here. as we look at live doppler 7, notice as we getting closer here, clouds are still lingering. not just san francisco, but parts of the coast, the peninsula, east bay. up to the north, we have some thunderstorms erupting in the mountains. that trend will continue as another low-pressure system moves in our direction, keeping our temperatures below average. you can see the marine layer, san francisco there in the distance. 62 right now in the city. 65 oakland. not exactly where you should be. 71 san jose pure rats palo alto. definitely mild inland. you can see little

70's. near the coast, breezy conditions. clouds hang tough much of the day. here's a look at the seven day forecast. you will notice it is the morning gray followed by a mild day inland. the team will go by and say hello. not a whole change -- not a huge change in terms of temperatures. into next week, temperatures coming up on monday. but that is a brief. tuesday, cooler and breezy and then we bring in the warmth. popping up into the low 90's finally on friday. low 60's coast side, 70's around the big. that warm-up is coming. liz: hopefully it sticks around for july 4. meteorologist: it might?

♪ liz: as we continue to celebrate pride, we are taking a look at the rights of queer athletes. non-binary and transgender runner cal c. didn't expect to become an activist but that is exactly what has happened. as he continues to make major strides not only in san

francisco but nationally when it comes to fighting for equality of trans and non-binary athletes. abc7 has a peek at how he's doing it. ♪ reporter: for the most part, two things have remained constant in his life, his love for running, >> i've actually been going by cal almost my entire life. which is kind of a unique thing for people who transition. and helps me kind of hold both of those identities and not all trans people identify as non-binary but being someone who does, that is important to me. reporter: he uses he/they pronounce. he grew up in the midwest blank soccer and started playing cross-country and continued the sport in college, competing as an out queer woman. >> i was navigating that in misery. there w

but it's not like it is here. there was always this sense that i didn't feel super right in my gender but i didn't know that it was possible to have a different life. non-binary for me means that i just don't prescribe fully to manhood nor womanhood. good to see you. reporter: it's a saturday morning and the fog is finally burning off in the park, just in time for him to lead the stretching circle fo -- nbrc. sports in general. >> as a kid, i didn't want people to associate me with my body all the time. i didn't feel that alignment. now that i am living this new life, i get to feel aligned and my buddy and come together with people to run. it's a feeling of safety and freedom. reporter: freedom by definition means the power or right to act, speak, or think without hindrance or restraint.

for many trans and non-binary folks across the country, that's not the case. according to trans legislation tracker, so far this year, 556 bills targeting transgender people have been proposed nationally. at least 80 of those bills have passed. including legislation restricting who can participate in athletics. in maine, alabama's governor signed a bill making it illegal for public universities to allow trans people to participate in sports that don't correspond with their gender assigned at birth. the state already passed a bill banning it for k-12 public schools a couple of years ago. the ncaa says -- sets its rules sport by sport. this bimonthly running club for cal is a form of protest. >> it is a counter conversation about trans people and sports, that we don't belong, that we don't deserve to participate, that we ruin them, and it's just a joyous community

that is growing. reporter: cal's club is clearly a success. but it took over two decades to get here. following college graduation, he moved to san francisco to be a teacher, began his transition, took a break from running. >> when i came back, it was really freshening because i felt like, i don't know what category i should be registering under. i felt like it wasn't right for me to be running with women. then it was this whole, ok, well, are you a man? because it's either that or that reporter: and that is how i met cal. >> i'm doing so well. so excited to be here speaking with you. reporter: making a splash all over local airwaves, calling out san francisco's oldest and arguably most iconic race. >> you rang the they were basically shamed interchanging. >> pretty much. -- into changing.

>> pretty much. reporter: he refused to give awards to anyone outside the male and female categories. >> it is just wrong because it kind of spoke more to their view that trans and non-binary runners, we will take your money, but if you do well, doesn't matter. reporter: locally, they faced sharp criticism and queer equity one, so did cal. last year and this year. now that race h production company. but his efforts have reached far beyond the bay, helping the boston and chicago marathons add non-binary categories for the first time. he placed second in both. chicago felt its full circle. >> that was also my hometown race. it was my third time running it. my first time in the right category. i had ran it twice previously as a female. reporter: it has not come

without backlash but it spans from the classroom teaching students to help people on the streets who may not realize what they are learning. >> i think it kind of links this thread that i've identified and myself as just this desire to be myself and just help other people be themselves. reporter: reporting in san francisco, jimena fortson, abc7 news. larry: leading the charge. a look yuko is headlining sf pride on sunday. we spoke with the >> "girls like girls" hit single a few years ago, you had this great video and that idea that you wanted to expand beyond just the song. here you areith this book, involves high school students. from what i understand, it is based on your own life in high school mostly? >> actually a couple of years ago, in 2015, when i directed

years ago. however last year's ruling means states can have their own abortion access laws. over the past year, 14 states have banned or nearly banned abortion access. during our 3:00 show, we spoke with a sociologist and professor at advancing new standards at ucsf. >> there are heartbreakingly large number of ways that pregnancy can go wrong and when it does, physicians need to be able to offer standard medical care to keep their patients safe and healthy. sometimes even just to keep them alive. and what these abortion bans have done in states where they exist is prevent those physicians from being able to offer that care to their patients. liz: today president biden signed an executive order guaranteeing access to contraception. larry: happening tonight, in the search for and the disappearance in san luis obispo, 2020 looks back at this 1996 case and how paul florez was convicted.
