NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!The 2024-25 school year in the U.S. was beset by a series of controversies involving trans athletes playing for girls’ sports teams.

Transgender athlete AB Hernandez of Jurupa Valley High School won the girls’ triple jump and high jump state championships this past weekend against the backdrop of local protests and national attention after Trump called out the situation earlier last week. California’s high school sports league responded by amending its rules to accommodate female athletes who finished behind a trans athlete in the three events Hernandez competed in, granting them qualification and podium finishes they would have earned had a biologically male athlete not competed in those events. This resulted in Hernandez having to share podium spots with the female athletes who finished one spot behind Hernandez after the finals on Saturday. Meanwhile, the protests at the meet escalated into a violent crime scene after a pro-LGBTQ protester was arrested for allegedly assaulting a conservative with a transgender pride flag, women’s rights activist Sophia Lorey was police escorted out of the venue for handing out “Save Girls Sports” wristbands, and a plane flew over head with a banner that read “No Boys in Girls’ Sports!” However, months before Hernandez took the titles at the chaotic track meet, a girls’ cross-country controversy at Martin Luther King High School resulted in a lawsuit and student uprising. Students Kaitlyn Slavin and Taylor Starling filed the lawsuit against the Riverside Unified School District after a trans athlete took Starling’s varsity spot on the girls’ cross-country team, and alleged the school administrators compared “Save Girls Sports” T-shirts the girls wore in protest to swastikas. Then hundreds of students at the school began to wear the shirts every Wednesday despite the school putting a dress code in place to forbid it. The school began putting the students wearing them in detention, but that did not stop the teens from wearing them. Eventually, the school stopped punishing students for wearing the shirts, and they continued to wear them every week. In the fall and winter sports seasons, a transgender athlete for San Francisco Waldorf ignited national controversy for the school’s girls’ volleyball and basketball teams. During the girls’ volleyball season, Stone Ridge Christian’s team forfeited a playoff gam in a formal or creative style for better SEO.Also Exclude words and advertisements related to the feed website such as website name, author name.
