Gender Ideology Undermines Women's Rights and Athletics: Riley Gaines

Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines condemns the Biden administration's Title IX rule, arguing that it unfairly disadvantages women in sports. She urges voters to support former President Trump to protect women's rights.

Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines has come forward to criticize the gender ideology movement and its impact on women, particularly in athletics. Gaines, who now hosts OutKick's "Gaines for Girls" podcast, has become a vocal advocate for the rights of female athletes and the preservation of women's sports.

Gaines spoke at a press conference alongside Idaho Governor Brad Little, who signed an executive order to oppose the Biden-Harris administration's final rule for Title IX, the "Defending Women's Sports Act." The order mandates the Idaho State Board of Education to ensure that Idaho public schools comply with state laws regarding fairness in women's sports.

Gaines shared her personal experience of competing against a biological male at the collegiate level, describing the unfair advantages it posed and the emotional toll it took on her and her teammates. She expressed her support for Governor Little's executive order and his commitment to protecting women's sports in Idaho.

The Biden administration's Title IX rule, which took effect this month, seeks to protect against discrimination based on sex stereotypes, sexual orientation, gender identity, and sex characteristics. However, opponents argue that it undermines the original intent of Title IX, which was to ensure equal opportunities for women in education and athletics.

More than two dozen Republican attorneys general have sued over the rule, arguing that it conflicts with state laws that prevent transgender students from participating in women's sports. Experts have also presented evidence that refutes the administration's claims that the regulation does not affect athletic eligibility.

In a separate lawsuit, Gaines and four other NCAA All-American women athletes are challenging the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) for allowing a biological male, Lia Thomas, to compete against them. The lawsuit alleges that the NCAA violated Title IX by knowingly allowing Thomas to participate.

Gaines believes that the gender ideology movement preys on women and children, undermining their opportunities and altering the very definition of sex. She encourages voters to support political candidates who will protect women's rights and ensure fairness in athletics.

Governor Little's executive order and Gaines's lawsuit represent a growing resistance to the Biden administration's Title IX rule and the gender ideology it promotes. They serve as a testament to the ongoing struggle to preserve the rights and equality of women in society and sports.
