Description

The creation and implementation of Title IX was a long time coming for women’s sports in having some degree of equality and recognition for female athletes. But in 2023 we are going backward and see transgender females encroaching on biological female athletics. As someone who experienced this blatant discrimination personally, Riley Gaines knows first-hand how it feels to compete against a biological male. As a female competitive swimmer, Riley found herself in the middle of controversy when she tied with Lia Thomas, a biological male, at the NCAA Championships. Since then, Riley has been an outspoken champion for preserving female sports and believes the integrity of single-sex sports should be protected. Across the country, we are beginning to see states ban transgender females from competing in women’s sports in schools. Are the tides starting to turn on this issue? What are some potential solutions?
