Transgender athlete AB Hernandez won gold medals in the high jump and triple jump at the California high school track and field championship. This caused a lot of debate across the country and attracted much attention. Hernandez competed under a new rule from the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) that allowed an extra girl to compete and win medals in events where Hernandez qualified. Even though Hernandez was successful, the event saw protests from people who do not agree with transgender athletes competing in women's sports. The CIF created this new rule because of Hernandez's success and to follow California law, which lets transgender students play on teams that match their gender identity. However, critics say that this new rule only makes things more confusing. This situation is happening at a time when a recent survey shows that about 70% of adults in the US believe that transgender female athletes should not be allowed to compete in girls' and women's sports at any level.
