VIOLENT protests have erupted in California after a trans athlete served a crushing defeat to two female competitors at a sporting event.

AB Hernandez, a 16-year-old transgender teenager, claimed victory in both the women’s long jump and triple jump during a competition in California. This achievement was a bold resistance against the executive order by Trump which aimed to exclude trans athletes from participating in women’s sports.

Additionally, she secured fourth place in the high jump at the Interscholastic Federation Southern Section Masters Meet, narrowly missing out on qualifying for the championship by just one position.

But a crowd of angry parents confronted her mother at the event to complain that a trans girl was competing against their daughters.

It has now turned into a heated row with dozens of protestors carrying out demonstrations to “save girls sports”.

The demonstrations rapidly escalated into violence after law enforcement apprehended an individual suspected of assault with a deadly weapon, as reported by Clovis police Sgt. Chris Hutchison to the Chronicle.

He said the person is accused of using the base of a Pride flag to smash a car window, leaving a person injured.

More protestors are expected to show up today as the sporting event continues.

Yesterday, furious high school parents berated the mother of the trans athlete after her dominant victory.

The video, which has now gone viral on TikTok, shows the parents hounding Hernandez’s mother for allowing her to compete.

One of the parents can be heard yelling at her mother: “What a coward of a woman you are allowing that.”

Hernandez’s story previously made headlines after another teenage girl that she beat to first place in a separate contest waited for her to descend from the podium before moving to pose in the top spot.

In the TikTok, the parent can also be heard shouting: “Your mental illness is on your son, coward.”

But more than half of US states have implemented bans on trans youth athletes participating since 2020.

In an Instagram post, Hernandez’s mother said: “It takes immense bravery to show up, compete, and be visible in a world that often questions your very right to exist, let alone to participate.”

Hernandez’s case was thrust into national attention after Donald Trump threatened to withhold federal funding from California over her sporting participation.

Her successes prompted the California Interscholastic Federation to change its rules to allow “biological female” student athletes who would have made the qualifying mark without a trans contestant in the race to compete in the finals.

A spokesperson for California Governor Gavin Newsom’s office called the proposed pilot “reasonable”.

California state law allows the participation of trans women and girls in women’s sports.

Trump posted on Truth Social: “Please be hereby advised that large scale Federal Funding will be held back, maybe permanently, if the Executive Order on this subject matter is not adhered to.”

His message refers to an Executive Order from February titled “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports”.

In an interview with Capital & Main, Hernandez, from Jurupa Valley, California, said: “There’s nothing I can do about people’s actions, just focus on my own.

“I’m still a child. You’re an adult, and for you to act like a child shows how you are as a person.”

She faced heckling and protesters in the crowd at a track meet earlier this month and was accompanied by campus security and Sheriff’s Department deputies, CNN has reported.

“Girls were just shocked that people would actually come to do that, and really bully a child,” she said.

“I’ve trained so hard. I mean, hours of conditioning every day, five days a week.

“Every day since November, three hours after school. And then all of summer, no summer break for me.”

Her mother added that those who have “doxed, harassed and violated my daughter AB’s privacy” have created a “hostile and unsafe environment for a minor”.
