The notorious California “transgender” (male) athlete AB Hernandez is making another appearance in the news cycle. This time, he’s firing back at critics – I mean, how dare anyone object to a boy being on a girls’ volleyball team, or literally outrunning them in track & field competitions? Personally, I’d bet a substantial sum that this kid doesn’t suffer from gender dysphoria; he’s taking advantage of a fashionable social contagion to win competitions he never should have been allowed into.

Here’s what he has to say. Let’s take it apart, piece by piece, shall we?

AB Hernandez, a transgender high school athlete in California who plays on the girls’ volleyball and track and field teams, remained defiant amid criticism for competing against females.

Several of Jurupa Valley’s opponents this season have forfeited games rather than play a game against a team that has a biological male on the team. Chaffey High School was one of the teams that agreed to play against Jurupa Valley, but they fell to Hernandez’s team in four sets.

Hernandez had no interest in giving in to criticism.

He has no interest in defending himself against criticism, because what he’s doing is indefensible. What he’s doing is cheating. Because he’s a boy.

“They swear I’m like this crazy danger to society,” Hernandez told CBS Los Angeles in a recent interview. “I’m just a normal kid going to school, playing sports.”

He’s not a normal kid. He’s a boy cosplaying as a girl. He’s unfairly demanding to be placed on a girls’ team. He already blasted through track & field competitions, earning recognition he doesn’t deserve, by cheating. Because he’s a boy.

Hernandez’s participation in girls’ sports became a flashpoint in the effort to keep women’s and girls’ sports fair. In the spring, Hernandez participated in the California high school state championships and won several events. The California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) altered rules for the sport to allow a girl to share the podium with Hernandez.

Women’s and girls’ sports aren’t fair if they let men and boys compete. And the CIF shouldn’t have altered any rules; they shouldn’t have allowed this boy to compete against girls, then there wouldn’t have been any issue as to who was on the podium. AB Hernandez was on that podium because he cheated. Because he’s a boy.
