A Champion for Real Women’s Sports
Riley Gaines has become the face of common-sense opposition to biological men competing in women’s sports after her personal experience swimming against transgender athlete Lia Thomas in 2022. In the 200-yard NCAA freestyle championship, Gaines tied for fifth place with Thomas but was forced to watch as only Thomas received the fifth-place trophy at the ceremony, highlighting the absurdity of woke NCAA policies that prioritize feelings over fairness.
Standing Up When Others Stayed Silent
While many athletes remained silent, Gaines courageously spoke out about having to share locker room facilities with Thomas, who still possessed male anatomy. This experience launched her into activism, as she recognized that young female athletes needed someone to fight for their rights. Gaines has since testified before Congress, launched the Riley Gaines Center, and become a powerful voice for protecting women’s sports from radical gender ideology.
