Mother of Trans Track Star Criticizes New Policy Allowing Girls to Share First Place Podium

The mother of a transgender high school athlete publicly trashed California’s policy allowing girls to share the first place podium if they came in second.

AB Hernandez came in first at three events during Saturday’s California Interscholastic Federation’s Southern Section championship final: long jump, high jump and triple jump. Despite that, girls who came in second were allowed to share the podium due to a new California policy, per Fox News.

Trans athlete AB Hernandez won first place in the high jump, long jump and triple jump at the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Southern Section finals on Saturday. So too did the girl who would have finished first, based on a rule enacted last year that awarded any female athlete that finished behind a trans athlete a higher placement.

The CIF enacted a pilot program for the state finals last May that awarded any female athlete that finished behind a trans athlete one higher spot, which resulted in girls sharing podium spots with Hernandez for the championship. The program also ensured any female athlete who finished one spot out of qualifying for the state finals in events that included a trans competitor, to compete for the title as well.

Nereyda Hernandez, the mother of AB, decried the new policy on social media when she shared a post from Rainbow Families Action.

Mother is mentally ill as well as her son...........

How sad. She has participated in destroying her son. Truly self delusion is a powerful force.

The CIF enacted a pilot program for the state finals last May that awarded any female athlete that finished behind a trans athlete one higher spot, which resulted in girls sharing podium spots with Hernandez for the championship.

The enactment of a half-stupid regulation is sometimes more blatantly revealing (of the inanity of transgenderism DEI) than no such enactment.

Like allowing "fake women" to compete in women's boxing - but then, e.g., demanding that they wear softer gloves.

She probably wanted a daughter, so instead turned her son into a basket case..............

[Ex-Con777]

Her son got a gold medal. What’s she biotching about?

Every time I think we have reached peak insanity the bar gets reset to a higher level of insanity than I could ever have imagined.

"I’m a Boy" (1966) by The Who

One girl was called Jean Marie
Another little girl was called Felicity
Another little girl was Sally Joy
The other was me, and I'm a boy

My name is Bill and I'm a headcase
They practice making up on my face
Yeah, I feel lucky if I get trousers to wear
Spend evenings taking hairpins from my hair

I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But my ma won't admit it
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But if I say I am I get it

Get your frock on, Jean Marie
Plait your hair, Felicity
Paint your nails, little Sally Joy
Put this wig on, little boy

I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But my ma won't admit it
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But if I say I am I get it

Help me wash up, Jean Marie
You can dry, Felicity
Stack the dishes, Sally Joy
Behind them struggles, I'm a boy

I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But my ma won't admit it
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But if I say I am I get it

I wanna play cricket on the green
Ride my bike across the stream
Cut myself and see my blood
I wanna come home all covered in mud

I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But my ma won't admit it
I'm a boy, I'm a boy, I'm a boy
I'm a boy, I'm a boy, I'm a boy, I'm a boy
I'm a boy, I'm a boy, I'm a boy

Dayum... those lyrics hit hard on this subject matter. Now I have to listen to it. Wasn’t the guitar player gay? Maybe he wrote it?

[cport]

Cue Nelson “Ha,Ha!” So, how does it feel, young man, to have chopped off your manhood, put on makeup, and slurp estrogen to come in first place, only to get a participation trophy? Hoist and petard.

[Blurb2350]

Any sign of the boy’s father?

[T.B. Yoits]

Pete Townshend had a very disturbing childhood and he's written quite a few songs that appear to be influenced by it, including the rock opera 'Tommy'.

The lyrics to 'Fiddle About' and 'Cousin Kevin' are two others that appear to be close to home.

First place in something that means nothing past high school and will not secure you a future nor teach you any life skills.

Insanity is likened unto stupidity. It knows no bounds............

[roving]

I gave up defending these girls. They allow it to happen.

[drwoof]

Correct, quite obviously. We’ve become rather unhinged as a culture. What’s really unsettling is that there seems to be now a good number of people out there who read such news and conclude ‘Well, I can see her point!’, as if such bizarre notions such as this are some kind of elevated thinking.

[Red Badger]

None................

Yes she caused the problem by giving him a makeup kits for Christmas and birthdays.

And Barbies instead of GI Joes..........

It takes balls to win a women’s competition nowadays.
