2,293 Female Athletes Have Lost First-Place Medals To Biological Males
PNW ^ | 09/25/2026

New research has revealed the stunning extent to which transgender-identifying males have taken over women's sporting events, finding that almost 2,300 first-place medals have been taken by males. Women's sports advocates say that federal legislation must be passed to once again restore a fair playing field for women and girls nationwide.

On Tuesday, Concerned Women for America's Legislative Action Committee (CWALAC) released research showing trans-identifying biological men who have been allowed to compete in female sporting events have taken 2,293 first-place medals from women and girls in the U.S.

This has translated to women in professional sports losing $501,498 in prize money. The research further found that in Democrat-run states like California, over 611 women and girls have lost out on finishing first in sporting events due to males taking the top spot. All told, biological males have competed in over 14,300 amateur and professional female sporting events.

The staggering numbers come at a time when significant strides have been made at the state and federal level to protect the integrity of women's sports. Over the past six years, 27 states have passed legislation protecting female sporting events from biological males -- legislation that was upheld as constitutional in June by the U.S. Supreme Court. In addition, President Trump issued an executive order in February 2025 defining Title IX based on biological sex and threatening to pull federal funding from schools that allowed males to compete in female events and gain access to female locker rooms and bathrooms.

Several international sports bodies have also issued rules protecting women's sporting events over the past two years, including the International Olympic Committee, the International Cycling Union, World Aquatics, World Athletics (which governs track and field events), World Boxing Organization, Union Cycliste Internationale, World Rugby, and others.

However, American sports juggernauts like the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) still have not put in place adequate measures to keep males out of women's events, allowing an unknown number of biological males to compete in female categories -- most infamously swimmer Lia Thomas, who took first place in the women's 2022 Division I 500-yard freestyle event.

As detailed by sports attorney William Bock during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday, despite claiming to have amended its rules in February 2025 following President Trump's executive order, "Current NCAA rules are not based on biology, do not use sex verification testing, and do not hold NCAA member institutions accountable for protecting women against male competitors."

Bock further noted that despite the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) newly established rules intended to keep women's events only for women, the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee's (USOPC) rules to follow the IOC guidelines do "not include prescriptive terms, timelines for compliance, or sanctions for non-compliance" for U.S. national governing bodies (NGBs).

This has led to NGBs including USA Biathlon, USA Cycling, USA Gymnastics, USA Racquetball, US Rowing, USA Rugby, USA Swimming, the U.S. Tennis Association, USA Triathlon, and USA Volleyball to enact "new but insufficient policies, containing loopholes that may allow men to compete in women's sports."

Experts say that despite the gains that have been made to protect women's sports in the last two years, millions of female athletes, in particular girls at the middle and high school levels, are still being subjected to males being allowed to compete in their sporting events. Advocates say this not only compromises their physical safety, but also their human dignity.

"It is shockingly unfair for biological women to have to compete against trans-identifying men," Penny Nance, president and CEO of Concerned Women for America LAC, stated following the release of her organization's research. "... Biological men have distinct advantages over biological women. This reality not only puts women in harm's way, but it eliminates opportunities for biological women to earn a living and win competitions."

Nance further urged Congress to enact legislation protecting women's and girls' sports. "Congress should pass the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025 (H.R.28/S.9) to prohibit federally funded school athletic programs from allowing males to compete in women's and girls' sports; the Protection of Women in Olympic and Amateur Sports Act (H.R.1028/S. 405) to clarify that sports National Governing Bodies must designate women's sports for women only under their Congressional authorization; and The Title IX Clarification Act (H.R. 8781/S.5179) to clarify that, for purposes of Title IX's prohibition on discrimination in federally funded education programs and activities, the term 'sex' refers solely to an individual's biological status as male or female."

"How many more women and girls will be subjected to an uneven playing field?" Nance added. "It's time to put an end to this inherent unfairness and protect women's sports."

Y'all don't see the hypocrisy.

Women are everywhere in men's sports. It's ridiculous.

Gaines isn't even one of them. She placed sixth, behind four real women.

Since two-thirds of women between the ages of 18 and 36 identify as (insufferable) Democrats who constantly cry about equality, I am not concerned about men taking first-place medals from women. The women wanted equality—they got it, right upside the head.

“Biological Males” is a redundancy.

This is about media noise. Gaines is the one with real visibility. Hence my point.

The crazies are winning this one... ‘men pretending to be women are still men’. How stupid does a person have to be to not know this?

Four really good men basketball players should pretend to be women and go to a Division 1 school and join the women's basketball team. They could win the Women's FInal Four for 4 straight years. That would end this foolishness or perhaps women would welcome this?

Women vote for homo dems in greater proportion than men ...

If only men voted, the democRAT Party probably wouldn't be the dumpster fire that it is today.
