The encouragement of transgender athletes competing in women’s sports is annoying to those who care about competitive fairness and biological reality.
But it’s even more frustrating for women who have no choice but to compete at serious disadvantages.
Now one of them is talking about it.
Riley Gaines has an incredibly successful career in women’s college swimming, but in the last few months, Leah, a biological man who migrated just a year ago and often dominates biological women. I was forced to compete with Thomas.
Gaines joins Tomiraren on Wednesday and NCAA with Thomas Nominate transgender athletes Received the “Woman of the Year” award.
She noted that in particular one case informed her that, in addition to being allowed to compete, Thomas had priority over other cases.
In March 2022, Gaines and Thomas finished fifth in the NCAA Championship Women’s 200m Freestyle Race. The event, of course, created only one trophy in 5th place, but it’s not surprising who was chosen to hold it on the podium.
Tomi:
“In particular, I would like to return to another dispute involving you and Lia Thomas. You are both tied fifth. So you are both supposed to win the trophy. You got the trophy and your trophy will be emailed to you. Did you get it? “
Riley Gaines:
“I got it a few weeks ago, but basically what happened is that after we tied you went behind the podium of the awards and they distributed the awards. So we went back there, and then the civilian official said, so we decided to give Thomas a 5th place trophy that he could pose with the 6th place trophy. It will be mailed. “
Gaines explained that he had a better understanding of the incident at first because he realized that he had only one trophy in 5th place.
But when asked why she was instructed to win the sixth prize, the official answer showed that the intention was simply to reward Thomas.
“But I asked the official. Can you ask why Thomas is sticking to having a trophy over me?” And he just looked at me and said , “Well, we’re just doing this in chronological order. And at this point I understood exactly what was happening. So I asked him, I It was like, “What are we about in chronological order?” One is what we have tied up, and if it’s based on the alphabet etc., the one that is based on the alphabet and based on the G comes before the T, so I’m not following. And he looked at me and said, Thomas has a trophy for photography purposes. “
It was not justified that Thomas was more profitable than Gaines, whether in alphabetical order or not. Simply put, event managers wanted to prioritize one over the other.
Gaines also explained that as a result, despite her very successful college career, she wasn’t interested in the NCAA Woman of the Year trophy.
“It’s the same as the NCAA Woman of the Year, but I don’t even want that trophy,” Gaines said. “I’m 12 times all-American, so there are a lot of people at home.”
Defending Thomas at the expense of biological women clearly outlawed the entire award process and prioritized politics and awakened ideology over fairness and common sense.
Gaines went a step further and expressed disappointment with the NCAA’s placement of its female competitors “on the male backburner.”
“This is the organization I have devoted my life to, and many other female athletes get there and not only are forced to compete with men, but also to wear back burners for men. I’m working hard. It’s very eye-opening and very disappointing. “
NCAA, the University of Pennsylvania, and many others are not in the way to encourage Lia Thomas at the expense of a lifelong woman, as her reaction to Clay Travis also explains.
This is yet another example of how injecting progressive politics into real-world situations can have serious and immediate negative consequences.
Riley Gaines did everything right, without her own negligence, and was placed behind someone who used an unjust advantage to dominate the competition. Instead of criticizing this behavior, the NCAA and many affiliates support Thomas’ actions.
Until these types of unforgivable behavior are stopped, there will be many frustrated and discouraged female athletes who will lose to biological men.
Here’s everything Gaines and Tomi talked about Tomi Lahren is fearless:
