The Spin

Left narrative

AB Hernandez has followed every rule and California law throughout her athletic career, and the harassment she faced from adults at a high school track meet is an embarrassment. Studies show trans athletes haven't outperformed cisgender counterparts, and Hernandez herself has been outperformed by girls in states that ban gender-affirming care. Targeting a 16-year-old with protests and doxxing is bullying dressed up as policy.

Capital & Main Outsports

Right narrative

Hernandez won three jumping events against girls by massive margins, and the results board doesn't lie about competitive fairness. Male puberty creates physical advantages that don't disappear, which is exactly why legends like Martina Navratilova and Olympic gold medalists are speaking out. The DOJ lawsuit against California makes clear that letting this continue is a failure to protect girls.
