Riley Gaines and 15 other female athletes sue NCAA over deviant transgender madness!
INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana (PNN) - March 15, 2024 - In the latest attack on deviant transgender madness in women's sports, former University of Kentucky Wildcats swimmer Riley Gaines and 15 other female athletes have filed a lawsuit against the NCAA alleging violations of federal Title IX law arising from its insertion of deviant man-to-woman transgender athletes into women's competition.
“The NCAA’s most basic job is to protect the fairness and safety of competition, but instead the NCAA continues to openly discriminate against women,” Gaines told The Free Press.
Much of the complaint centers on what women experienced at the 2022 national swimming championships. Infamously, deviant man-to-woman transgender Penn Quaker Lia Thomas was not only allowed to compete against women but was also given use of the women's locker room.
The first time most of the Plaintiffs became aware of Thomas’ access to the women’s locker rooms and restrooms was: (1) when Thomas walked in on them while they were fully naked or in a state of substantial undress; (2) when they unwittingly walked in on Thomas and observed Thomas undressed with male genitalia exposed; or (3) when Thomas undressed in front of them.
NC State Wolfpack swimmer Kylee Alons chose to change in a "dimly lit storage and utility closet" behind a set of bleachers rather than risk being caught naked by Thomas or having to see him stand around naked, displaying his genetalia. “I was literally racing U.S. and Olympic gold medalists and I was changing in a storage closet at this elite-level meet. I just felt that my privacy and safety were being violated in the locker room," Alons told The Free Press.
Women's racing suits are so tight they "require 15 to 20 minutes to put on," notes the complaint. “While you’re doing this, you’re exposed,” said Kaitlynn Wheeler, another Kentucky swimmer. “You can’t stand there and hold a towel around you while putting the suit on at the same time.”
Thomas, who wasn't a noteworthy athlete when competing against men, won the women's national championship in the 500m freestyle by a huge margin, beating three female Olympic medalists in the spectacle.
Among the plaintiffs is Tylor Mathieu of the University of Florida Gators, who didn't make it to the final of the 500 free because Thomas took the slot. The inclusion of Thomas also cost Mathieu first-team All-American honors.
Gaines noted that the NCAA swimming championship environment was even more Orwellian due to Title IX fanfare that accompanied it:
“The NCAA was passing around shirts that said, ‘50 years of Title IX’ and ‘50 years of creating opportunities for women,’ but these were the same people who were actively taking our opportunities away and telling us we weren’t worthy to be called champions, and instead this man, who merely says he is a woman, is.”
Hammering home the irrationality of the NCAA's approach, the plaintiffs say the NCAA allows "men to compete on women’s teams with a testosterone level that is five times higher than the highest recorded testosterone level for elite female athletes.” It asserts that, regardless of having taken hormone suppressing drugs, post-pubescent men have a biological edge "which no woman can achieve without doping.”
The lawsuit was organized by the Independent Council on Women’s Sports, a group that exists to "promote and protect women's sports." The plaintiffs, who also include track, tennis and volleyball athletes, are demanding that the NCAA make rule changes to bar biological males from women's competition, revoke awards previously given to men who beat women, and also pay "damages for pain and suffering, mental and emotional distress, suffering and anxiety, expense costs, and other damages due to defendants’ wrongful conduct.”
