California state Sen. Sabrina Cervantes honored transgender high school athlete AB Hernandez after Hernandez won multiple girls state titles at the end of May.
The trans athlete, who competes for Jurupa Valley High School in Riverside County, California, was the subject of a ceremony at the Jurupa City Council Friday where the athlete was recognized for winning first place in the girls high jump and triple jump May 31.
Cervantes was present to give Hernandez two certificates on behalf of the California state senate and delivered a speech recognizing the athlete's championships.
"We just want to take a moment this evening to recognize AB Hernandez for their grit, their passion and their dedication to this sport," Cervantes said.
"I am just so proud to know that you continue to prevail despite all the noise out there, and you're focused on your goals and your dreams and your aspirations. We know how difficult it is to get to that level, to be an athlete at that level, and so, again, your dedication and passion is an inspiration to so many."
No female athletes who competed in the girls state track and field championship were honored at the event Friday.
Hernandez's participation in the state finals in May became the focus of immense political debate after President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social in the days leading up to the competition warning the state not to allow trans athletes to compete.
The California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) made a series of sweeping rule changes in the days leading up to the event to ensure any females who finished behind a biological male would be appropriately rewarded a medal based on where they placed among female competitors.

Cervantes lives in Corona, California, with her wife who works as a hospital technician. She gave birth to triplets in 2019.[21][22]
In May 2025, the Sacramento Police Department issued Cervantes a citation on suspicion of driving under the influence after her car was t-boned by another vehicle, but charges were not pursued by the District Attorney after lab tests showed no measurable presence of either drugs or alcohol.[2][23][24]

We live in strange times.
The rest -
During the medal ceremonies for the three events, the female competitors who finished one spot behind Hernandez had to stand next to the trans athlete on the podium.
Even with the rule changes, Hernandez’s presence in the girls’ competition prompted controversy and a heavy protest presence throughout the weekend. A plane flying a banner that said “No Boys in Girls’ Sports!” passed over the stadium.
Conflicting protests plagued the championship with pro-LGBTQ protesters and pro-female protesters wielding signs, flags and clothing expressing their respective messaging.
The conflict between the protesters at one point became violent, when an LGBTQ protester allegedly struck local conservative activist Josh Fulfer with a flag pole. Police records obtained by Fox News Digital show a male was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon other than a gun, obstructing a public officer and vandalism.
The U.S. Department of Justice launched a lawsuit against the CIF and the California Department of Education for allegedly violating Title IX with its polices that allow males to compete in girls sports.
The DOJ’s lawsuit is asking for an injunction on the state’s policy allowing males to compete against females in sports.
California’s policies “eviscerate equal athletic opportunities for girls … they also require girls to share intimate spaces, such as locker rooms, with boys, causing a hostile educational environment that denies girls educational opportunities,” the lawsuit said.
It will be the second legal battle the DOJ is fighting over the issue, having launched a similar one against Maine in April.

No such thing as a trans...just totally F’d up people.
What is it with Democrats. They are in a hole and they keep digging.
California Democrats think they are safe but if they have been paying attention they would have noticed President Trump is slowly destroying the Democrat party, first stopping the flow of federal money into the pocket of Democrat supporters, next having Republican held states to redraw the district lines, and last go after the corruption that Democrats have been for too long got away with.
California is just last on the list, but it is coming.
From this senior.. too many brains have been educated with tv, cell phone, and pc....to an acceptance of things that dull and down grade expectations. There is no accountability for knowing what is right and beneficial.. to what is wrong, damaging, and destructive .
Let me remember.. there was no TV in the house..one car, no electricity for my first 10 years.. evenings were not spent watching tv. What we called the washing the clothes, took most of the day.. pumping water, heating water, hand operating a paddle in the washer.. rinsing in a tub.. hanging clothes on a clothes line..
Compared to pushing a button today
I think back and am thankful I have a push button ..
Honoring mental illness???
And I do not understand logic that accommodates harmful new lifestyles.. happiness .. is there any in things I see being played out .. that would not have been just a generation ago.
I have grandkids who have to deal with things we never had on the scene ...
It makes perfect sense if you understand that California state Sen. Sabrina Cervantes is a lesbian.

If you read Genesis chapter 19 you’ll see humanity has been here before...perversions of this nature aren’t anything new.
Ok, maybe I’ll give a benefit of doubt here and agree that someone can share mental thoughts or traits with the opposite biological sex. If that is true, then it still does not make them equal to the opposite sex physically, and having a swinging dick in a girl’s or women’s locker room is sexual harassment plain and simple. If any one of these political libtards was walking down the street and some guy exposed himself to them, they would not hesitate to have him arrested. To me it’s the same damn thing. If the so-called athletes want to compete, maybe they should compete with other mentally confused people.
“recognize AB Hernandez for ‘their’ grit”
What?
Mental illness on parade.
For sure
Tomorrow they praise Himler.
I’ll make this simple so even a Democrat can understand it:
If a person sports a penis ... male
If a person sports a vagina ... female
If that doesn’t clarify things, I’m thinking about starting a 6 week course at my closest Community College to help people understand it.
Man , I was born at the wrong time! I was a poor men’s athlete when I was young! Nowadays I could be a superstar on a girls team, shower with them, the whole enchilada!
Exactly. They’re both sexual perverts, and both hispanic. Those two criteria trump anything else.
>>”We just want to take a moment this evening to recognize AB Hernandez for their grit, their passion and their dedication to this sport,”
THEIR grit, THEIR passion, THEIR dedication = makes me want to throw up.
