Rand Paul teams up with former college swimmer for campaign ad on transgender sports
Washington Examiner ^ | Sep 29 | By Juliegrace Brufke

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) teamed up with former University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines in a new campaign ad taking aim at transgender athletes competing in women’s sports.

The 30-second spot, which is slated to air digitally and on television, features Gaines, who gained attention for speaking out on the issue after being defeated in a national match by transgender swimmer Lia Thomas, asserting she plans to vote for Paul and applauding him for his support on the issue.

"I trained from an early age, giving it my all to achieve my dream. And I accomplished it, becoming a 12-time All-American swimmer at the University of Kentucky," Gaines says in the ad.

“But for girls across America, that dream is being taken away by men competing in women’s sports," Gaines added. "Sadly, few stood up for me, but Rand Paul is not afraid to fight for fairness for women and girls, and that’s why I’m supporting him.”

Paul told the Washington Examiner that he got in contact with Gaines after seeing her appear on Tucker Carlson Tonight a few months back and felt it was an issue that he should address.

There is no such thing as “transgender”.

Such is biologically and medically impossible.

The correct term is “transVESTITE”.

“The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.”
~ Deuteronomy 22:5

Yes! Tell it like it is! No mincing around like so many others that say something vaguely similar but, when push comes to shove, cave in and call the male beasts "her" or "she." They want it both ways -- protesting against men in womens' sports but waffle and say "Please don't call me a transphobe! See, I used the correct pronoun!"

I don’t necessarily agree with Paul on all issues but I’d like to see him replace McConnell in January. He is independent enough to buck the GOPe and RINOs, which offer new blood into the leadership of the Senate.

Actually, I think they tied, but the NCAA gave Thomas the trophy.

Cowgirls and tomboys are okay.

Pretending to be the opposite sex is NOT.

Rand is right. BTW, a biological man can’t get pregnant but a biological woman who mutilates herself and declares herself to be a man can get pregnant.

He’s campaigning against men in women’s sports. Headline is poorly written.

Funny how that jumps out. It's obviously correct, and it shouldn't sound unusual, but it does.

Cowgirls wear jeans and boots

The scripture you quoted would condemn them
