In the past few months, the topic of participation of transgender athletes has become a focal point. The World Athletics announced a complete ban on trans athletes from being involved in women’s sports, which has ignited various debates. One athlete who has appreciated this move and stood strong on her ground is Riley Gaines.
Gaines, the former NCAA swimmer has emerged as a marquee figure in this revolution. She has from time to time urged female athletes to boycott events and join her in the fight. Gaines has slammed the Joe Biden government in trying to bring a change to “Title IX”. Since then she has made appearances on various channels and podcasts in raising her voice.
The ex-Kentucky swimmer has now somewhat become a legal advocate in defending women’s sports. While making an appearance at the “John Bachman Now”, Gaines blasted Joe Biden and the White House. She referred to the parliament building that had raised the rainbow flag to celebrate Pride Month. This move is reported to have been done by the government to show their solidarity with the trans community.
While speaking to Bianca de la Garza, Gaines told that no women athlete should get the feeling of celebration from this administration. “What this administration is actively trying to do is erase women, not just female athletes, they’re trying to erase women,” Gaines said in her statement. She later mentioned that the proposed Title IX changes are an abomination to women.
Riley Gaines labels ongoing debates as social warfare
Ever since the ban was announced, there had been moments that further ignited the spark. Reports of several trans athletes being involved in women and girls events surfaced. Athletes like Athena Ryan, Austin Kilips and Glenique Frank were heavily slammed by social media users for their participation. Riley Gaines has now claimed that debate was a matter of “spiritual warfare”.
She said while speaking at the USA Young Women summit at the weekend. During the meet, she slammed the NCAA directors for trying to “silence” athletes from speaking up regarding the matter involving Lia Thomas. The trans swimming champion has been the focal point of this discussion and was allowed to participate in an event.
Gaines and other teammates including Paula Scanlan, were uncomfortable in sharing changing rooms with Thomas. The athletes were alleged to have been ordered to remain silent in this matter. She also made out the point regarding the trophy presentation despite finishing level with Thomas. “Myself, being a Christian, I entirely see this as spiritual warfare,” Gaines told the community. She later explained that the situation was no longer good against the bad or right versus wrong, it is now “moral vs evil.”
