A few days after President Donald Trump sent a warning to California about letting a transgender athlete compete in the State Women’s Athletics Championship, the State allowed an athlete Trans to take two titles against female competitors on Saturday.
AB Hernández, a transgender student athlete of Jurupa Valley High School, took first place in the height jump of the girls and the triple jump in the state championship on Saturday at the Veteran’s Memorial Stadium in Clovis, California.

Hernández also ended up in the high jump to Loren Webster of Woodrow Wilson High School, who was the only woman who ended before Hernández in any competition that the Trans athlete competed this weekend.
Hernández previously occupied the first place in the three events in the preliminary round on Friday.
However, the female competitors who ended up behind Hernández at the events were played a place and received the medal they would have won if the trans athlete did not compete.
The California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) made a series of radical rules changes in the days before the event to ensure that any woman who ended behind a biological man is properly rewarded a medal based where they placed among the female competitors.
Then, during the medal ceremonies for the three events, the female competitors who finished a place behind Hernández had to stand next to the trans athlete on the podium.

Even so, Hernández’s presence in girls’ competition caused controversy and a strong presence of protest throughout the weekend.
The contradictory protests affected the championship from Friday with pro-LGBTQ protesters and pro-femenine protesters who handled signs, flags and clothing that express their respective messages.

On Friday, a plane flying a banner that said “There are no boys in girls’ sports!” He even passed on the stadium.
However, the conflict between the protesters at one time became violent, when a LGBTQ protester allegedly hit local conservative activist Josh Fulfer with a flag post on Friday. The images obtained by Pak Gazette Digital show that the manifestor LGBTQ Ethan Kroll seems to attack Fulfer through the window of a car, and Kroll was subsequently arrested.
The police records obtained by Pak Gazette Digital Show that Kroll, a man, was arrested by assault with a mortal weapon other than a gun, obstructing a public officer and vandalism.
The Sergeant of the Clovis Police. Chris Hutchison told Pak Gazette Digital there were no other criminal incidents at the track meeting or near Friday night.
“Our position is always allowing people to exercise their constitutional right to freedom of expression and protest,” said Hutchison. “They have the right to do so in a way that does not encourage violence or that causes other problems … we have no room for violence or property damage or anything like that.”

But on Saturday, the director of Disclosure of the Family Council of California, Sophia Lorey, was escorted from the Memorial Stadium of Veteran by CIF officials for fainting bracelets “Save Girls’ Sports” with pro-femenine messages to the spectators. The images shared by Lorey on social networks show the confrontation between her and the CIF official as Lorey is a gesture out of the place.
Lorey told Pak Gazette Digital that he had approved messages in previous events without any problem.
“We delivered half page flyers at the Prelims event and they didn’t tell us anything we couldn’t do that,” Lorey said.
Pak Gazette Digital has communicated with the CIF to comment on Lorey’s video.
Lorey and local conservative activist Beth Bourne told Pak Gazette Digital that, unlike previous events, a man in a megaphone repeatedly ordered the spectators who did not make derogatory comments about any competitor, officials or other spectators on Saturday.
Lorey organized a press conference at the meeting that day, where the candidate for governor of California 2026 Steve Hilton spoke in support of protecting the sports of girls from trans inclusion.
The current governor Gavin Newsom has been subject to frequent local and national criticism throughout the postseason of athletics to allow the athlete to compete, despite previously admitting in his podcast that believes that the men who compete in girls sports were “deeply unfair.”
Trump highlighted Newsom in a social publication of the truth on Tuesday when he threatened to reduce funds to the State if a traffic athlete was allowed to compete in girls’ competition this weekend. But the State did not yield to Trump, and instead simply approved the changes in the rule to accommodate other female athletes.
The United States Department of Justice announced an investigation into the State on the subject on Wednesday, and the United States Department of Education has been investigating the State on the subject since February.
However, California is far from being the only state that saw the athletics championships of their girls eclipsed by the transverse trans athletes.
According to reports, this weekend, Trans athletes competed and won state competitions in Maine, Washington, Oregon and Minnesota.
Trump signed his executive order to “keep men out of women’s sports” on February 5, but many democratic states have openly challenged the order, resulting in multiple controversial situations such as the one involving Hernández throughout the country in 2025.
