URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!
(DC Pundit) – The high school career of transgender athlete AB Hernandez came to a close Saturday night at the California Interscholastic Federation state track and field championship, and it ended exactly the way it’s been going for two years: with Hernandez on top, and a whole lot of uncomfortable questions left unanswered.
Hernandez claimed first place in both the girls’ high jump and triple jump, and third in the long jump. For those keeping score at home, that mirrors last year’s performance almost identically, when Hernandez won the triple jump and high jump state championships and finished second in the long jump. Consistency is a virtue, they say.
The CIF, apparently having learned nothing from the backlash of 2024, reimplemented the same pilot program from last year’s championships, awarding podium recognition to every girl who finished directly behind Hernandez.
I was there tonight to witness the absurdity of allowing a boy to compete in the girls’ division at the @CIFState championship.
Here is Abraham “AB” Hernandez easily clearing 5’-10” in the girls’ high jump.

The political theater surrounding championship weekend was something to behold. Democrat California gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer appeared in a video with Hernandez on Friday morning. That same afternoon, Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton headlined a rally outside the preliminary round advocating for the protection of girls’ sports.
Saturday brought a press conference organized by LGBTQ advocacy groups Pride at the Pier and Rainbow Families Action, which devolved into a heated shouting match between Hernandez supporters and “Save Girls Sports” activists. Clovis Police Department vehicles were parked nearby, and officers responded when the confrontation escalated. It eventually fizzled out without arrests, which, given California’s track record, might actually be considered a win.
Now that Hernandez’s high school career is officially over, California faces a reckoning it has been aggressively avoiding. The U.S. Department of Justice is currently suing California education agencies over policies permitting transgender athletes to compete against biological females. Hernandez’s own school district, Jurupa Unified, is under active investigation by the Department of Education.
The biological girls who trained for years, hoping to stand atop that podium, deserved better. Fortunately, the federal government seems to agree, even if Sacramento doesn’t.
