Chaos erupted at the games on the day, as transgender AB Hernandez of Jurupa Valley dominated. Hernandez, a biological male, participated in the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) state finals despite calls to have them banned.<\/p>\n

The 17-year-old made easy work of female competitors, which led to violent scenes, with one LGBTQ activist taken into custody for smashing a car window with a flag pole.<\/p>\n

Said activist was arrested for assault with a weapon and obstructing police, according to\u00a0FOX <\/a>News.<\/p>\n
