AB Hernandez is finding it rather hard to play volleyball this year because teams are not willing to play against her.
At least eight high school volleyball teams in California have forfeited games because they want nothing to do with the well-known transgender athlete.
It was just earlier this month when the number of schools that forfeited was at four. None of the schools has explicitly given a reason, but it remains quite obvious that they are all trying to send the same message.
The team finally found an opponent, as the Lady Jags were able to secure a match against Chaffey High School. Hernandez’s team easily destroyed them, which is why more teams have since decided to opt out of playing her.
Lawsuit Involves AB Hernandez
Things are only slated to get worse for AB Hernandez as three biological female student athletes have sued their Southern California school district and state Department of Education, claiming they suffered sex discrimination under Title IX and civil rights violations when they allowed a transgender athlete to compete on their high school track and volleyball teams.
While the complaint does not name the transgender athlete, the description is clearly of Hernandez.

The plaintiffs are claiming that the trans athlete made competition unfair, resulting in lower track and field rankings for those competing against her. It further alleges an invasion of privacy due to sharing a locker room with the student and alleges that school officials ignored or dismissed their complaints, per Fox News.
AB Hernandez caused havoc at the California Track and Field Championships in Clovis.
The 16-year-old won CIF titles in the girls’ long jump and triple jump at the Southern Section finals. AB Hernandez, who was born a male, jumped 19′ 3.5″ while the “second” place jumper, Kaylee Best, a female, jumped 19′ .75.”
“It’s definitely crazy, I get a lot of hate comments, but I’m like, ‘I don’t care,’” Hernandez told KCRA after the track meet.
“It’s just weird at this point,” AB Hernandez said of people protesting against her.
