What is the ‘compromise’ position between ‘transgender women are real women’ and ‘biological males not women’? The Pyrite State tried to find such a compromise position, as we reported on Friday.
CIF policies allow transgender athletes to compete alongside other cisgender girls. If the transgender athlete places high enough to advance in qualifying or to medal at a CIF event, the athlete advances or receives the medal. But so does the next athlete in line. As a result, AB shared the first-place podium alongside another athlete twice at the state track and field meet last year.
This was directly aimed at ‘transgender girl’ A B Hernandez — real name Abraham Delgado — who won championships in girls high school sports in California track and field competitions his sophomore and junior seasons. The backlash was formidable, with sensible people noting that males have natural advantages against females, differences which actually make a difference in many sports, and that Mr Delgado should never have been allowed to compete against girls.
But California states that sports are to be divided by how the competitors ‘identify,’ not biology. The state does not ban Mr Delgado from competing against girls, but also understands that he’s using his unfair advantages to push real girls lower in the standings. So they came up with the standard that allows Mr Delgado to compete, but also recognizes the place finishes among real girls had they not been competing against a boy.
The New York Post reported on Nereyda Hernandez, Mr Delgado’s mother, being appalled by this.

Trans athlete forced to share 1st place with cisgender girls at track meet
California’s two-time state champion AB Hernandez dominated her latest division track meet this past weekend, and despite protests and controversial policies, she aims to close out her high school athletics career with a third state championship title.

She jumped higher than any other girl and took first place in three track and field contests. But a state athletic policy enacted last year forced transgender athlete AB Hernandez to share the podium on Saturday with cisgender girls who couldn’t match her performance.
One would think that just writing the first paragraph, reporter Dawn Ennis would have recognized that there is a significant physical difference between males and females, but, as it turns out, Mr Ennis, previously known professionally as Don Ennis, is yet another male pretending to be a woman. London’s Daily Mail has screen captures of Mr Ennis before and after. He dumped his wife of 17 years.
Hernandez, a two-time state champion representing Jurupa Valley High School, won the high jump, long jump, and triple jump competitions at the California Interscholastic Federation Southern Section finals in Division 3.
The 17-year-old was apparently warming up for her next event when the long jump medal ceremony took place, so Moorpark High School’s Gianna Gonzalez stood alone on the first-place podium, despite finishing more than a foot behind Hernandez, Fox News reported. Later, although she edged out Oak Park High School’s Gwynneth Mureika by two inches in the high jump, Hernandez shared the top podium spot with Mureika, adhering to the CIF pilot entry program.
Then, after jumping nearly two feet higher in the triple jump than Malia Strange of Shadow Hills, Hernandez finally stood alone in the top spot of the podium. But although Strange was absent, she still received a gold medal as a co-winner, as did Gonzalez and Mureika.
While there are no reports of protests at Saturday’s meet, the anti-inclusion group Save Girls’ Sports organized a demonstration at the track and field preliminary meet earlier this month at Yorba Linda High School. They accused Gov. Gavin Newsom of failing to protect fairness in girls’ sports.
“Girls across California will continue losing placements, safety, and opportunities that they rightfully earned,” said former Vanguard University soccer player Sophia Lorey, who is the outreach director of California Family Council, a Christian organization designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Would that be the same Southern Poverty Law Center indicted for wire fraud and caught paying people to infiltrate and push conservative groups toward radical activities? Apparently the SPLC considers any person or group who does something really radical like tell the truth as hateful.
Riley Gaines Barker put it succinctly:
If you have to create a shared podium for the boy competing in the girls’ event, you’ve already admitted you know he isn’t a girl and that his participation is unfair.
That’s the thing that bothers young Mr Delgato’s mother and Mr Ennis: they know deep down that ‘transgender girls’ are not real girls, but they cannot admit that even to themselves, because that exposes their entire motivations and claims as delusional. The ‘compromise’ California put in really pleases no one.
The New York Post reported:
During the high jump medal ceremony, Hernandez stood atop the podium alongside Oak Park High School’s Gwynneth Mureika, who was also handed a gold medal despite finishing second.
This was the only time on Saturday that Hernandez stood next to a female athlete on the podium.
But also stated:
The policy also guarantees medal placements for biological female athletes who would have otherwise finished behind a transgender competitor.
They were also told they would share the podium next to the transgender winner of an event.
However, on Saturday, Hernandez’s female rivals iced her out during the medal ceremonies, with one competitor skipping the podium altogether and others keeping their distance.
The real girls, who are all teenagers, understand what the adults will not admit, that ‘transgender girls’ are not real girls. Every bird, every reptile, and every mammal can tell the difference between males and females of their own species. Only human liberals have ‘educated’ this ability out of themselves.
