Transgender athlete AB Hernandez won gold in the girls' high jump and triple jump at the California high school track and field championship. This caused a lot of controversy and got national attention. Hernandez competed because of a new rule from the California Interscholastic Federation, which allowed an extra girl to compete and win medals in events where Hernandez qualified. Even with this success, there were protests from people who do not want transgender athletes to play in women's sports. The California Interscholastic Federation made this new rule because of Hernandez's success and to follow California law, which lets transgender students compete on teams that match their gender identity. However, critics say that the rule change just makes things more confusing. This controversy happens at a time when a recent poll shows that about 7 out of 10 US adults think transgender female athletes should not be allowed to participate in girls' and women's sports at any level.
