EXCLUSIVE: The California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) was criticized this week for a postseason track meeting that saw a biologically masculine trans athlete place among the nine best events of three girls.
Section 3 of CIF Southern Division 3 preliminary at Yorba Linda high school exploded on Saturday in a political rally on the issue of trans inclusion in girls’ sports with multiple competitors and assistants who wore shirts that read “protect sports girls”, raising picket signs and speaking at a press conference.
During the meeting, officials allegedly caused the athletes to eliminate the “protect the girls” shirts, suppressing their desire to express the opposition to the CIF gender eligibility policy. The CIF has recognized Pak Gazette Digital that the incidents occurred and that the girls had their school uniforms under the shirts.
“According to the Playoffs Bulletin of the Southern CIF section, all athletes must be dressed in adequate school monitoring uniforms. Athletes were asked to comply with this while they were in the event area in the field, since they wore such shirts on their uniform issued by the school,” said the CIF in a statement.
However, witnesses have told Pak Gazette Digital that officials did not give the same orders to athletes that use other uniform non -school shirts without the message “Protect Girls Sports”.
The protests arrived in response to a biologically masculine trans athlete that competed in the girl’s height jump, the length of long leap and the triple jump for jurupa Valley High School.

The Trans athlete finally ended among the first nine in the height jump of the girls, long jump and ended first in the triple jump. By virtue of being among the first nine in all these events, the athlete will advance in state semifinals, while the three athletes that ended in the 11th place in those events will be lost.
Meanwhile, many of the athletes who competed had to wait for an intermediate of hours after temperatures exceeded 100 degrees Farenheit, which put the event in a climatic delay due to the dangerous heat levels.
Multiple female competitors told Pak Gazette Digital that the officials of the meeting allegedly approached them and told them to remove the shirts, and did not give girls the freedom to go and remove them elsewhere. The girls claim that the officials made them remove the shirts immediately, under the supervision of the officials, and did not give them additional time or opportunities to do so elsewhere.
“They did not let us go and do anything unless we took off the shirt,” said Lily Ingalline, a 15 -year -old break Olinda high school student. “They said: ‘You have to eliminate it right now!’ … did not leave until we took it away. ”
Brea Olinda’s student, Julia Teven, 17, claimed that an official gave her similar orders.
“It was noted that I was not going to take not because of an answer,” Teven said. “I was standing there seeing us as ‘it will be better to take off.’ This is basically how it felt.”
Ingallinera added that he found the orders of the official as “strange”, and preferred if he asked the coach or a female official to transmit the message.
“I thought it was a bit strange that this adult man approached us and told him persistently ‘I need you to take it out.’ I think they should have told our coaches that they came to tell us instead of this official who knows that he is greater than us and an adult adult and I feel that a woman should have done or should have done it in the speaker telling everyone and not only tell everyone individually,” Ingalline said.
The Lutheran student of Teven and Crean, Reese Hogan, 16, claimed that the officials made them feel that if the shirts were not removed, they would be disqualified from the event.
“It was not said, but it was implicit that if I did not take my shirt away at that time, then something could happen to my place, it was not said, but it was implicit,” Hogan said. “Throughout the day, it was a little more strict … becoming a little more hostile with their voices … They never said anything about being disqualified, but it was a bit implicit for the tone of their voice and the way they said things.”

The girls alleged that the officials in the meeting approached other athletes who used the “Protect Girls Sports” shirts and made those athletes also eliminate them.
Hogan added that he was forced to take off his shirt in the field during heating and then again at the door after leaving the place and trying to return, while his hands were full of other supplies.
“I thought ‘is okay if I enter and I take it off? I really don’t have hands at this time’ and she said ‘No, you’ll have to take it off, you can’t enter here with that shirt,” Hogan claimed. “They were just making us remove the shirts wherever we were.”
Teven, Hogan and his Lutheran student of Crean, Olivia Viola, told them that the reasoning behind the shirts was because the shirts were not official school uniforms. However, the girls also said that other athletes who used equipment with university names or other brands that did not have official school uniforms were not asked to take away the shirts.

“I really found it, as, in reality, I felt it was unfair, just a little aimed at what we were defending, because the shirts said nothing offensive. It was not derogatory. Everything I said was to protect the sports of women,” Viola said. “And it was really clear that they just wanted our shirts due to what we were supporting and they didn’t care about the real role due to the other athletes we are using.”
The four girls claim that the police presence at the meeting rose to the levels they had never seen at a high school meeting, since the event became a seedbed for the debate on the national conflict over trans athletes in girls’ sports. The Trans Competitor of Jurupa Valley has caused controversy throughout the season, breaking the records of long -standing girls in several meetings.

In addition to the shirts and a press conference where the students, the parents and the leaders of the community spoke against the CIF and the Government of the State of California for continuing to protect the trans inclusion, the multitude of spectators who attended bustlingly encouraged or mocked the Trans competitor throughout the day.
The images on social networks show some spectators singing “That is a child!” In the athlete, while Viola said that other fans only applaud the Trans athlete during the event while remaining silent for female competitors.
“I know it was, really, really divided, specifically, like when I was jumping, and it was as if you could see it visibly, almost as if it felt as if half of the stadium were, as, against it. And then there was a small piece of people who here, I liked them very strong for everything he did,” Viola said.
“It was simply upset for me. It was a bit sad to hear people encouraging stronger for the biological man who competed in a women’s sport than women who compete in women’s sports. That part was a bit, that part sadded me.”
However, the four girls also expressed their sympathy for the athlete for the insults that the other spectators threw them.
“I do not do it, I do not approve the same, the bullying, the shouts of this person. I think it is 100% about the people with authority that allow it to happen,” Viola said.
Teven and Ingalline say that they even talked to the athlete during Saturday’s breaks, and do not believe that the athlete is to blame for the situation
“I really think it has no harmful intention for girls’ sports. I think it is the type of CIF that allows it what puts it in position,” Teven said. “I think genuinely, it is only enabled by the CIF, and is only taking advantage of its chance.”
Ingallinera even said that the athlete was “very pleasant” and believes that the CIF is putting the athlete in an unfair position.
“I talked to this guy, and he was very, very respectful, very kind. He really didn’t say anything hurt. “I think that if CIF did not allow them to compete, they would be competing with the division of boys instead of the girls.”
The CIF is currently under investigation by the US. Department of Education To allow Trans athletes to compete in girls’ sports and possible violations of title IX.
California was one of the first states to openly challenge the executive order of “keeping men out of women’s sports” by President Donald Trump after signing her on February 5.
“The CIF provides students with the opportunity to belong, connect and compete in educational experiences in accordance with California law [Education Code section 221.5. (f)] that allows students to participate in school programs and activities, including sports teams and competitions, according to the student’s gender identity, regardless of the gender that appears in the student’s records, “said the CIF in a statement to Pak Gazette Digital.

The governor of California, Gavin Newsom, addressed the theme during an episode of his podcast in early March.
“Well, I think it’s a problem of justice,” Newsom told the influential conservative Charlie Kirk. “I completely agree with you. It is deeply unfair.
“So it is easy to call the injustice of that. There is also a humility and a grace … it is more likely that these poor people commit suicide, have anxiety and depression, and the way in which people speak with vulnerable communities is a problem with which I also have difficulties.
“So, both things that I can hold in my hand. How can we address this problem with the type of decency that I think you know is inherent in you, but not always expressed on the subject?
“The question that is asking is the question we have been asking for months and I have not been able to answer. What is that line? How can this do this? To the extent that I have not been able to solve it, and I am as transparent about this as anyone, especially in my part about this. To the extent that someone can and do it in a respectful and responsible way and could find the type of balance, then I am open to that discussion.” “
Pak Gazette Digital communicated with Newsom’s office about the last controversy, but has not had news.
