California high school volleyball player AB Hernandez, a trans athlete and state track champion, has spoken up after several teams have forfeited matches rather than face her on the court. “People just see one thing and that’s what you are,” she told CBS News Los Angeles. “They swear I’m like this crazy danger to society. I’m just a normal kid going to school, playing sports.”
The situation deepens as two of Hernandez’s own teammates have also refused to play while she remains on the roster. CIF rules and California law confirm her eligibility, but the controversy underscores ongoing tensions amidst a broader battle between state authorities and the administration’s anti-trans-athlete executive order. Despite the pushback, Hernandez refuses to back down—and remains focused on her goal: winning a league championship for her team.
