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 attracted national attention. Hernandez competed under a new rule from California's sports governing body, which allowed an extra girl to compete and win medals in events where Hernandez qualified. Despite her success, there were protests from people who do not agree with transgender athletes participating in women's sports. The California Interscholastic Federation put this new rule in place because of Hernandez's success and to follow California law, which lets trans students compete on teams that match their gender identity. However, critics say that this rule change only makes things more confusing. This debate is happening at a time when a recent survey shows that about 7 out of 10 US adults believe transgender female athletes should not be allowed to play in girls' and women's sports at any level.
