Riley Gaines, a former NCAA star swimmer at Kentucky who has led the charge in keeping women’s sports fair and equal, shared some supportive text messages on Thursday from parents in California.
Controversy erupted in the Golden State over the weekend after a transgender girl runner finished in second place in a sectional Meet of Champions and was propelled to the state championships later this week.
Gaines was on Capitol Hill last week for the unveiling of House Republicans’ Women’s Bill of Rights legislation. During a press conference Wednesday morning, she explained the bill would define the word “woman” in federal law in order to bolster other bills such as the House’s recently passed Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act.
