Riley Gaines Takes Fight for Women's Sports to the Next Level - Files Lawsuit Against Lia Thomas
Red State ^ | 5/2/23 | Becky Noble

Posted on 05/03/2023 6:16:56 AM PDT by CFW

The fight to keep women’s sports exclusively for biological women is just beginning and will be a long one.

Former University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines brought the fight front and center when she was forced to compete with transgender athlete Lia Thomas. Now, Gaines has upped the ante in the fight to protect women’s and girls’ sports. She recently filed a $2 million lawsuit against Thomas, who was born William Thomas, citing cheating in order to win the national women’s swimming title, and exposing himself in a female locker room.

When Lia Thomas began life, and eventually her swimming career as William Thomas, he was ranked 462 among collegiate male swimmers. Miraculously, that all changed when William became Lia. Lia Thomas trounced her biological female competitors winning the 2022 NCAA National Championships in the 200- and 500-meter freestyle races by a whopping 38 seconds.

Good for Miss Gaines. For too long conservatives have allowed the left to not only take away their rights but then silence them when they complain.

Riley Gaines speaks for all real women as she takes this fight to the courts.

Use the weapons of the left against the left. Good move.

Riley Gaines is a courageous young woman, fighting for what is right. Truth, science, and common sense are her primary weapons.

We need more women to stand up and object to the transgender insanity. There are a few, but not enough.

I remember a time when the words “her male parts” were NEVER spoken, and were never even THOUGHT!

Congratulations to Riley!

"HER MALE GENITALS"
'How many fingers am I holding up, Winston?

'Four.'

'And if the party says that it is not four but five -- then how many?'

'Four.'

The word ended in a gasp of pain. The needle of the dial had shot up to fifty-five. The sweat had sprung out all over Winston's body. The air tore into his lungs and issued again in deep groans which even by clenching his teeth he could not stop.

Huh? “Her male” is an oxymoron.

Brave young woman. Too bad she is having to fight, almost alone, for western civilization and science.

Think about that.

I’m not a big fan of government enforced cognitive dissonance.

What about creating a league for Trans types only? Where they would compete against each other without the use of male or female gender, just Trans.

Megan Kelly was talking about this on her Sirius show yesterday - said there was a woman’s cycling race in Italy - a male pretending to be a woman cyclist joined at the last minute, won the race, won the prize $$ and trophy. Beat the women by 89 seconds.

This has to stop, otherwise all women’s sports will be destroyed.

That’s the point. Women are being erased and the feminists don’t seem to care. They only get involved when they can kill babies or destroy real men and male institutions.
