Protests erupted at the CIF state track and field prelims over transgender athlete AB Hernandez's participation in girls events. Demonstrators, including Blake Nestell, argued that Hernandez, identified as male, should not compete against female athletes. As Hernandez competed in the high jump, a plane circled the stadium with the banner "No boys in girls sports!" The controversy has attracted national attention, even drawing remarks from President Trump regarding federal funding implications for California if trans athletes are allowed to compete.
"I wouldn't need to know a single thing about AB Hernandez other than the fact that AB Hernandez is male in a female competition," said protester Blake Nestell.
