A high school competition devolved into a \u201cpublic humiliation ritual for girls\u201d as a blue state\u2019s opposition to Title IX protections made for an absurd award ceremony.<\/p>\n

Since President Donald Trump\u2019s return to the White House, he and his administration have worked to right many of the woke wrongs committed by his predecessor, including the spread of gender ideology. Saturday, despite already being slapped with a Justice Department lawsuit, the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) once again sought to skirt Title IX by allowing the top-finishing girl to share the gold medal podium with the victorious boy masquerading as female.<\/p>\n

Taking the top spot in the CIF Southern Section finals for long jump and triple jump, male athlete AB Hernandez was seen atop the podium as Katie McGuinness and Reese Hogan, the girl athletes who would have won the respective finals, were given the opportunity to stand beside him.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you have to create a shared podium for the boy competing in the girls\u2019 event, you\u2019ve already admitted you know he isn\u2019t a girl and that his participation is unfair,\u201d wrote former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines, who herself had to contend with male athlete Leah Thomas being permitted to compete against women.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt that point, you\u2019re just seeking a public humiliation ritual for girls,\u201d added Gaines as Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett (R) reacted, \u201cI just threw up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prior to the competition, the CIF reintroduced a pilot program used in the 2025 state finals, allowing for shared podiums, and told parents in a May 16 letter, \u201cThe CIF values all our student-athletes, and we will continue to uphold our mission in providing students the opportunity to belong, connect and compete, while competing with California law and education code.\u201d<\/p>\n

As previously reported<\/a>, the decision by the California Department of Education (CDE) and CIF against compliance with the U.S. Department of Education\u2019s call for enforcement of Title IX \u2014 which gave Hernandez the opportunity to win two state titles \u2014 resulted in a lawsuit from the Justice Department.<\/p>\n

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said at the time, \u201cTitle IX was enacted over half a century ago to protect women and girls from discrimination. The Justice Department will not stand for policies that deprive girls of their hard-earned athletic trophies and ignore their safety on the field and in private spaces.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYoung women should not have to sacrifice their rights to compete for scholarships, opportunities, and awards on the altar of woke gender ideology,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

As a result of the latest victories at the Southern Section, Hernandez would next compete at the CIF preliminaries on May 23, ahead of another possible spot at the two-day state finals beginning May 29. Meanwhile, reactions continue to pour in with outrage that common sense has yet to prevail in saving girls\u2019 sports, including musician John Rich, who wrote on X, \u201cThis is probably one of the most abusive things you could do to a young woman. Minimize her accomplishments, force her to stand and smile, and pretend it\u2019s all ok\u2026This is psychological abuse on display.\u201d<\/p>\n

What a terrible decision by the far woke leftist idiots. Creating even a space sharing the podium with the true female winner is showing How out of touch they are. This male and other males in female sports should be stopped now. A mental illness perpetuated as normal.<\/p>\n

I feel sorry for the boy. What sort of parents would allow their child to be humiliated in such a fashion? At some point someone has to realize that this is child abuse and say \u201cSTOP!\u201d.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all so wrong. He should have never been allowed to compete with these young ladies.
\nAnother reason to never support Newscum or honestly any democrat. I\u2019m so over this insanity.<\/p>\n

Why isn\u2019t Hernandez mortified to stand there as if he actually won something?<\/p>\n

They modified the podium because of him.<\/p>\n

That modification is acknowledgement that he is not a girl and he stole that medal. pic.twitter.com\/FgzCjrf19z<\/a><\/p>\n

ATTENTION MODERATE DEMOCRATS:<\/p>\n

This is what your party leadership has wrought, all because you either weren\u2019t paying attention or you partook in the social contagion of the syndrome of hating the other side so much that you just didn\u2019t want to admit how utterly wrong this is.\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/Z86UQwyMAA<\/a><\/p>\n

A girl, who worked and trained hard for a podium spot, shouldn\u2019t really be sharing it with a boy who puts on lots of makeup and thinks he\u2019s a girl. Adults, who allow this, stop this. You have to know he is not a girl, nor will he ever be one. The rest of us do.<\/p>\n
