True to his word, President Donald Trump is taking aim at the state of California for defying his executive order protecting women’s sports after a biological boy was allowed to “win” yet another high school girls’ track competition.
AB Hernandez, a boy who “identifies” as a girl, won the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Division 3 long jump and triple jump events in the girls’ category on May 17, prompting another round of backlash against his being allowed to compete against female athletes against who he has a biological and insurmountable advantage. Hernandez’ “win” marks just the latest in a long line of victories he’s racked up in the women’s category, despite his not being a woman at all.
Trump called the inclusion of gender-confused boys in girls’ sports “a totally ridiculous situation,” threatening to pull the state’s federal funding if they continue to unfairly pit girls against boys in sports.
“California, under the leadership of Radical Left Democrat Gavin Newscum, continues to ILLEGALLY allow ‘MEN TO PLAY IN WOMEN’S SPORTS,’” Trump posted on Truth Social Tuesday.

“This week a transitioned Male athlete, at a major event, won ‘everything,’ and is now qualified to compete in the ‘State Finals’ next weekend. As a Male, he was a less than average competitor. As a Female, this transitioned person is practically unbeatable. THIS IS NOT FAIR, AND TOTALLY DEMEANING TO WOMEN AND GIRLS,” the President added.
And as liberal as they are on many issues, it looks like most Californians agree. A recent poll found that 65 percent of California’s likely voters think “trans”-identifying students should be required to compete on sports teams according to their biological sex in order to preserve the integrity of women’s sports.
Trump then declared that “large scale Federal Funding will be held back, maybe permanently, if the Executive Order on this subject matter is not adhered to” and suggested he may even direct local police to physically prevent Hernandez from being allowed to compete in the state competition, though it’s not clear how - or under what constitutional authority - he’d do so.
