Riley Gaines: A comprehensive war to athletes now ending thanks to President Trump
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Common sense returns, especially today, with President Trump signed another executive order to ensure that Sports competitions Designed for female athletes are actually for women. Orders to prohibit men to participate in athletic divisions of women and to “maintain policies, practices, rules or regulations allowing biological men to compete against biological females or vice versa in athletic activities violate the title IX and are subject to the implementation of the implementation of action Loss of federal funding. “
It is incredible that he is like that Executive command is necessary, but it is. The Management Board of Biden, in cooperation with Democrats in Congress and across the country, waged a comprehensive war against athletes. Ground country, men’s athletes get access to competitions that were intended for women.
I experienced this firsthand when NCAA allowed Lia Thomas – Formra would be a Thomas – to swim at the National Championship for Swimming and Diving Division I. Three years before, he competed on a male team at the same university. Not only did Lia Thomas win a female di national title, robbing that honor of many Olympians and American records, but he was allowed to dress and take off in women’s locker rooms. The athlete women did not agree to descend together with a completely intact man who exposed his male genitals, but the comfort and safety of women were not high on the list of NCAA priorities.
Women lose their gender battle. Let’s help them win the war
We are swimmers to say that they do not complain and deviate to make a place for a male swimmer who celebrates his new “identity”.
Our dreams, our desire for privacy, our voices were not important for university administrators or athletic associations. It was not important for the ridiculously named women’s sports fund, which struggled to allow men to enter and predict women’s sports. And that certainly didn’t matter for President Biden or Vice -President Harris.
Fortunately, the athletes were essential people throughout the country. In fact, brave women and men began to speak against the injustice worked on to women. Independent women have come across the creation of the greatest and most unusual female movement of our time, called “Our Bodies, Our Sport”. We have dedicated allies who are on the political left and right side, with independent and everything in between. This summer, we traveled all over the country, heard from parents and young athletes and encouraging them to advocate their rights and speak.
This trip in the intersection showed that the people of the American voters are with us. They recognized that what we were looking for – competition and recognition of biological reality – was a simple common sense. Normal people across the country know what a woman is and why we first need women’s sports leagues: men and women are biologically different, and these differences have the consequences for righteousness and security.

They were terrified when they heard about women like my friend Payton McNabba, who, as a high school volleyball player, a male player so strong in her head that she had permanent brain damage and partial paralysis. They were appalled when they heard that diligent athletes had to exclude games and championships to avoid competition that was inherently dishonest and even dangerous.

Fortunately, this blindness physical reality is in the end. President Trump is advocating for women and athletes when coaches, administrators of the faculty and sports bodies of sports. He knew it was absurd, unjustly and dangerous to force women to compete against men. He spoke consistently about this on the trail of the campaign and committed to do something about it. The voters heard and supported it.
And now, just days after taking office, he gave good in this promise. He told athletes that their dreams were important. Young girls do not have to wonder if they spend time on training and will be forced to competitions they are doomed to lose for their gender. Now they can feel sure they will have their own league and rights. On behalf of all these girls, thank you, President Trump, for standing with us.
