Save Girls Sports

California Gov. Gavin Newsom's office stated the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling upholding state laws protecting women's sports from biological male trans athletes will not impact California's existing policies. California, which lacks such protective laws, has a 2013 law (AB 1266) allowing transgender students to compete in sports aligned with their gender identity. The state faced controversy over trans athlete AB Hernandez competing in girls' sports and a CIF podium adjustment policy.

Transgender athlete AB Hernandez won two state track and field titles in California, sharing podium spots with female competitors under a controversial CIF policy. The event sparked political debates and confrontations between LGBTQ advocates and 'Save Girls Sports' activists, with gubernatorial candidates Tom Steyer and Steve Hilton publicly addressing the issue.

Transgender athlete AB Hernandez advanced in three girls' jumping events at the California Interscholastic Federation state track & field championships, securing top positions in two. The competition occurred alongside a 'Save Girls Sports' rally featuring gubernatorial candidates Steve Hilton and Tom Steyer, with Steyer defending Hernandez in a video. Sophia Lorey organized the rally, which highlighted political tensions over transgender athletes in girls' sports.

Transgender track athlete AB Hernandez of Jurupa Valley High School swept three events at the CIF state qualifying meet, securing spots in high jump, long jump, and triple jump. The article highlights the controversy surrounding transgender athletes in girls' sports, referencing reactions from opponents like high school senior Reese Hogan and organizations such as 'Save Girls Sports.'
