Her victories have triggered a policy change from the CIF, allowing additional biological females to compete in finals. The political impact is significant, with President Trump criticizing Hernandez's wins as unfair. An executive order aiming to ban trans women from female sports threatens federal funding for states that resist such policies, signifying a larger national debate on fairness in sports and transgender rights.
