In the Golden State, a young athlete named AB Hernandez is making waves by competing in high school girls' track and field events, securing the top spot in at least three competitions.
This situation has sparked controversy as it sidelines female athletes who would have otherwise qualified for these events, allowing Hernandez to potentially sweep the medals.
As the state track and field meet approaches, the issue has drawn attention to California Governor Gavin Newsom's stance on the participation of biological males in female sports. Despite engaging in a conversation with Charlie Kirk on this contentious topic, Newsom has yet to take decisive action.
According to The Blaze, Kirk challenged Newsom during their discussion, urging him to publicly oppose the participation of males in female sports. "You, right now, should come out and be like, You know what, the young man whos about to win the state championship in the long jump in female sports, that shouldnt happen. You as the governor should step out and say, No, Kirk told Newsom. He further pressed, Would you do something like that? Would you say, No men in female sports?
Governor Newsom acknowledged the fairness issue, stating, "Well, I think its an issue of fairness, I completely agree with you on that. So thats easy to call out, the unfairness of that." However, he also expressed concern for the mental health challenges faced by transgender individuals, noting, "Theres also a humility and grace, you know, that these poor people are more likely to commit suicide, have anxiety and depression, and the way that people talk down to vulnerable communities is an issue that I have a hard time with, as well."
BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler criticized Newsom's response, accusing him of dishonesty and defying a significant executive order. "Remember that President Trump signed an executive order several months ago banning states from allowing biological boys, but I repeat myself, from competing in girls' sports, even if those boys identify as girls, Wheeler explains.
She emphasized that California's current policy is in direct violation of this order, stating, So the state of California is violating President Trumps executive order by allowing boys to compete in girls sports.
