In the face of federal funding cuts threatened by President Donald Trump, California is desperately doing backbends to find a way to appease the left-wing alphabet mob while also tacitly admitting their policy of allowing biological boys to compete against girls is, well, absolutely insane.

Just one day after Trump posted to Truth Social that he is considering pulling federal funding from the Golden State over their refusal to comply with his executive order mandating athletes be allowed to compete on sports teams according to their biological gender, the California Interscholastic Federation, which oversees high school sports, announced a new “pilot entry process” that would allow any "biological female" athlete who lost her spot at a competition to a biological boy the “opportunity to participate” in the event anyway.

"Under this pilot entry process, any biological female student-athlete who would have earned the next qualifying mark for one of their Section's automatic qualifying entries in the CIF State meet, and did not achieve the CIF State at-large mark in the finals at their Section meet, was extended an opportunity to participate in the 2025 CIF State Track and Field Championships," CIF said in a statement. "The CIF believes this pilot entry process achieves the participation opportunities we seek to afford our student-athletes.”

The rule specifically applies to the state championship’s long jump, high jump and triple jump events, which AB Hernandez - a biological boy being allowed to compete as a girl - has dominated all season in competitions throughout the state. He won the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Division 3 long jump and triple jump events in the girls’ category on May 17. Just a few weeks before, he took first place in the high jump (4 feet, 10 inches), the long jump (17 feet, 6 inches) and triple jump, where he clocked in at 40 feet, 0.5 inches, a whopping eight feet further than the female athlete who would have otherwise come in first place.

Despite regularly "winning" multiple girls' events, Hernandez's scores would have placed him behind the last-place finishers in most of the boys' events.

In addition to carving out the chance to compete for female athletes who lost their spot to a boy, Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom's office also confirmed that the CIF’s Track and Field Championships this weekend in Clovis will score transgender athletes separately, meaning there could potentially be three First Place event winners - one girl, one boy, and one gender-confused dude in drag.

Of course, alternatively, California could just have boys compete against boys, and let girls compete against girls. But that would make too much sense, and probably wouldn't appease their mentally ill base.
