Demi Moore just revealed her most horrifyingly skeletal look yet. But after the <a href="https://pagesix.com/2026/05/12/celebrity-news/demi-moores-toned-arms-take-center-stage-on-cannes-film-festival-2026-red-carpet/">New York Post</a> ran a headline about “Demi Moore’s toned arms,” the internet clapped back at the use of “toned” to describe the severely anatomical detail of her upper limbs. 
It wasn’t “toned”; it was terrifying. A natural beauty now in her sixties, she had morphed into the evanescent incarnation of dark diet culture. And the media were all in. Thankfully, many onlookers pushed back. 
Daily Wire host <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DYS6kdIlkq1/?img_index=2">Isabel Brown</a> posted, “This is equally as damaging to women’s health conversations as normalizing morbid obesity is.” 
<a href="https://www.instagram.com/reels/DYQwckfSPdP/">Riley Gaines</a> quipped, “Demi Moore actually looks like she’s on the brink of death … Girls, don’t believe the lie that this is what it looks like to be ‘toned.’” 
“That is neither muscle nor healthy. It is phenomenally sad that she looks in the mirror and sees this as a win,” one <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/popculture/comments/1tceaqy/comment/olnr9i2/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=web3x&amp;utm_name=web3xcss&amp;utm_term=1&amp;utm_content=share_button">Redditor</a> posted. 
As a society, we’re pretty cool about offering others a wide berth to live life in a variety of possible body shapes, delivering grace when it’s needed. But when does empathy become enabling? Is it kind to let an impending train wreck speed straight off the rails, or do we have a moral obligation to pull the emergency brake? 
Moore’s apparent emotional bedrock, Bruce Willis, has been suffering from <a href="https://www.today.com/health/disease/bruce-willis-health-rcna99998">dementia</a> since 2022. No one would argue that she shouldn’t be afforded the room to grieve. But two things can be true at once, and 63-year-old Moore has previously admitted to punishing her body in the name of beauty.
In 2025, Moore described her new “self-care” routine, telling <a href="https://people.com/worlds-most-beautiful-demi-moore-cover-story-photos-exclusive-11717760">People</a>, “I have a greater appreciation for all that my body has been through that brought me to now … It doesn’t define my value or who I am.” She admitted to once doing “crazy things like biking from Malibu all the way to Paramount, which is about 26 miles. All because I placed so much value on what my outsides looked like.” In the same breath, she said she was “so much more about my overall health and longevity” now.
It was just a few months after she won <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/01/06/nx-s1-5249981/demi-moore-golden-globes-the-substance">her first</a> major acting award: a <a href="https://pagesix.com/2026/05/12/celebrity-news/demi-moores-toned-arms-take-center-stage-on-cannes-film-festival-2026-red-carpet/">Golden Globe</a> for “The Substance,” which is about a black market anti-aging <a href="https://www.flixist.com/review-the-substance/">drug</a>. As part of her acceptance speech, she recalled, “In those moments when we don’t think we’re smart enough or pretty enough or skinny enough or successful enough … I had a woman say to me, ‘Just know you will never be enough, but you can know the value of your worth if you just put down the measuring stick.’”
Maybe Moore allegedly ditched the measuring stick, but it seems she doesn’t live up to her own beauty standard. Still, it’s not unreasonable to redirect the focus to medical professionals who continue to prescribe weight-loss drugs to vulnerable A-listers who are starving themselves and then convince fans to follow suit.
On the jury to select the Cannes festival’s Palme d’Or, Moore first made a red carpet splash in a sequined and sculpted Jacquemus gown, followed by a fuchsia look by French cult favorite Matières Fécales (yep, that’s “fecal matter” in French, for anyone who’s been following along since the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fake-urine-famesick-celebs-and-100k-tickets-inside-the-grotesque-hypocrisy-of-the-met-gala">Met Gala</a>). The pink reflected a rosy glow onto her porcelain skin as her mantis-like frame appeared to be propped up by an enormous bow of intentionally tattered fabric in a fashionable “<a href="https://www.harpersbazaar.com/fashion/a71328540/demi-moore-cannes-matieres-fecales-dress-stylist-interview-red-carpet/">state of decay</a>.” Touché. 
“Let’s say there were no such thing as GLP-1s. Let’s say we were just looking at that. You’d go, ‘Well, that is starvation, that’s an eating disorder, if she was not in a concentration camp,” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRZw9B9u3ek">Dr. Drew Pinsky</a> suggested on “The Rubin Report.” “But now we have a drug that causes that … I don’t know where this is gonna stop. It’s gonna hurt a lot of people.”
Despite the backlash, some think Demi Moore and other stars making notoriously waify waves in the industry (such as <a href="https://www.aol.com/articles/exclusive-ariana-grande-sparks-fan-120000082.html?guccounter=1&amp;guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&amp;guce_referrer_sig=AQAAACRd0dAGZwPVgIhjtv48zqesOTA31-kW5cruECKW6zT6O4W7512Q7x_yBVbX5vEVAZahqFpyHVYJcuMEx6bh0tXvTQwqUFT1fdm65-YMTuTrf5EuAtSYFNkgWmxq3nf1emuCdSZRJmnop5B9JVgwxv82XyvZKXVh8924zcfBewOJ">Ariana Grande</a>, <a href="https://people.com/kelly-osbourne-slams-critics-for-calling-out-her-dramatic-weight-loss-transformation-11866054">Kelly Osbourne</a>, and <a href="https://pagesix.com/2026/03/15/celebrity-news/stylists-fear-stars-are-blind-to-how-skinny-they-really-are/">Emma Stone</a>) look good. After spending almost two decades in Hollywood, I’m confident that some of these stick-thin stars probably still think they could lose a few pounds. Flattering media certainly doesn’t help. OK! magazine fawning over Olivia Wilde’s emaciated “<a href="https://okmagazine.com/p/olivia-wilde-glows-new-photos-after-health-concerns-unrecognizable-appearance/">glow</a>” helps no one.
Never mind the constant flow of GLP-1 ads we’re being force-fed. <a href="https://www.noom.com/lp/clinical?route=clinical&amp;upv=3&amp;sp=google&amp;utm_source=g&amp;utm_medium=paidsearch&amp;utm_campaign=23234457596&amp;gid=185213649541%7C&amp;type=drug_branded&amp;cid=CjwKCAjw8arQBhB9EiwAfIKdQtLF8op5XSeFixxPU73oE7h3MxZ_HBXDlWMxKmMSYDIt4Vg0lYQnyBoCXUgQAvD_BwE&amp;pos=&amp;step=pros&amp;lang=en&amp;device=c&amp;group=brand-drug&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=23234457596&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjw8arQBhB9EiwAfIKdQtLF8op5XSeFixxPU73oE7h3MxZ_HBXDlWMxKmMSYDIt4Vg0lYQnyBoCXUgQAvD_BwE">Noom</a>, which used to be about eating smart and exercising, pivoted to “forget it, just do this drug we’re selling.” Serena Williams loves talking about how she’s “healthier” on her own brand, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqXOcRtZoow">Ro</a>. And <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uk_ZUYegt14">Wegovy</a> launched a star-studded awards season campaign normalizing doing weight loss drugs, comparing dosing the GLP-1 pill to rescuing kittens in trees. Why wouldn’t you take it? Be a good person!
“In a clinical setting, these changes from baseline are cause for alarm,” celeb nutritionist Jess Baker <a href="https://pagesix.com/2026/03/15/celebrity-news/stylists-fear-stars-are-blind-to-how-skinny-they-really-are/">said</a> of the hollow muscle wasting she sees in GLP-1 overusers. “They can indicate malnutrition, meaning the body isn’t getting enough of what it needs to function.”
That <a href="https://health.ucdavis.edu/news/headlines/uc-davis-health-examines-systemic-impact-of-glp-1based-therapies/2025/12">40% lean muscle loss</a> you’ll likely experience is scientifically proven (this drug-induced weight loss is all-inclusive, y’all). Just focus on the fact that if you stop taking GLP-1s, you’ll likely <a href="https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11940170/">rebound</a> to your previous weight. Y’know, minus your <a href="https://www.massgeneral.org/news/article/why-muscle-mass-matters-and-how-to-keep-it">blood sugar-regulating</a>, critically structural muscle mass. Maybe you’ll get lucky and just <a href="https://macularhope.org/ozempic-is-making-some-patients-go-blind-will-ozempic-survive-this-well-see/?gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=22624478307&amp;gbraid=0AAAAADmkl5ztW0Ku0pkT0DB3M4vGH5Ihk&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjw8arQBhB9EiwAfIKdQrWfJPl_xJm6cph8z2EFPw5-bPqDhIKyJgTWqYHJE4hfxLFvX83RShoCYuAQAvD_BwE">go blind</a> like some plaintiffs of the <a href="https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/10-dangerous-drug-cases-in-2026-are-you-8925382/">3,000 active lawsuits</a> against these weight loss drugs allegedly have.
Frustratingly, celebrities will never come clean about the massive resources they have at their disposal to set the current standard of beauty, while the rest of us mill around the Walgreens clearance section like Children of the Corn. However this GLP-1 thing shakes out, we can almost guarantee there will be a pharmaceutical antidote we won’t be able to afford.
But as a precursor to societal doom via hot girl pharma, maybe we could stop propping those who are dangerously overweight or devastatingly thin, as a picture of health. We’ve walked way over the line on whether we should or shouldn’t talk about women’s bodies, and maybe it’s time we get honest about what’s healthy. 
Evolutionary behavioral scientist <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/2021/05/28/gad-saad-cancel-culture-idea-pathogens-future-discourse-1593467.html">Gad Saad</a> offers a term for not speaking the truth on the chance it will hurt someone’s feelings: “forbidden knowledge.” Pretending that someone is well when she isn’t is not empowering; it’s dangerous. 
Even if Demi Moore is going through a challenging chapter, is it empathetic for loved ones to let her destroy herself in the name of her own grief? Standing by as someone eats herself to death — or her body consumes its own muscle tissue to survive — is a suicidal mission in both directions. We can do so much better for each other. Let’s shine the spotlight on balanced health and real wellness, not disordered eating in disguise.

NASHVILLE—Nearly 100 students, bright-eyed and hungry for change, gathered at the Tennessee State Capitol Building Friday morning, some having driven all night to make it to the event.
There, in a room full of young conservatives, a group of Tennessee officials, including Senator Marsha Blackburn (R), announced a partnership with Turning Point USA. Soon, every high school in the state will have a chapter of Club America, TPUSA&#8217;s high school affiliate.
Club America, like all of TPUSA, aims to advance the mission of the group&#8217;s late founder, Charlie Kirk: make being a conservative cool.
&#8220;The founding of the country, the Constitution, capitalism,&#8221; TPUSA Senior Director Josh Thifault told The Daily Wire. &#8220;The branding is meant to feel like it&#8217;s something that everybody wants to be part of because I mean, who doesn&#8217;t want to be part of Club America? We wanted to create a presentation to high schools that would be very tough to say no to.&#8221;
Blackburn was joined by women&#8217;s sports activist Riley Gaines and Tennessee Senator Jack Johnson for the announcement. The Volunteer State joins Texas and Florida, which have also taken steps to launch Club America chapters throughout their states.
One of the last in-depth conversations Thifault had with Kirk before the latter was assassinated in September was about expanding Club America. Thifault said with Republican states fully backing the mission, TPUSA can get to Kirk&#8217;s goal of 20,000 chapters.
&#8220;I&#8217;m very thankful for all the commitments that Tennessee made,&#8221; he said Friday. &#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of wonderful people who worked a lot to make this happen. Also, I have to give special credit to Riley Gaines because she&#8217;s the one who, as soon as it became pretty clear we were working something out, shouted it from the rooftops.&#8221;
Gaines spent nearly an hour after the partnership was announced taking pictures with the students who traveled to Nashville for the event. The former Kentucky swimmer and new mom challenged the students to bring five friends to a Club America event and keep the movement growing.
&#8220;I think we&#8217;ve now understood that Tennessee, especially with the recent congressional race here in this district, is not immune,&#8221; Gaines said. &#8220;I think so many of us almost develop a sense of complacency because we think it can&#8217;t happen to me. Nobody is immune to the cultural chaos that is plaguing this nation and even plaguing this state.&#8221;

One of the students who drove hours to be at the State Capitol on Friday was Riley Belt. The junior out of Providence Christian in Johnson City said Tennessee&#8217;s partnership with TPUSA makes her excited for her peers.
&#8220;Our generation is definitely a turning point,&#8221; Belt said. &#8220;We just want to be able to help teach kids like us how to help change our nation and lead us back to conservative values and back to Christ. That&#8217;s what it&#8217;s all about.&#8221;
Since Kirk&#8217;s assassination, Club America chapters in Tennessee have grown from 30 to 104. Belt helped start her school&#8217;s chapter in November. Because of the pact formed Friday, that number is only expected to grow.
&#8220;One person can&#8217;t do it on their own, but we&#8217;re surrounded by people who also share these values and want to make America what Charlie wanted it to be,&#8221; Belt said. &#8220;That&#8217;s what we&#8217;re fighting for.&#8221;

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) took a cheap shot at former collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines on Monday, siding with trans-identifying men over women in her desperation to land an attack on Gaines.
The spat — which played out on X — began on Sunday with a photo Gaines posted from a New York City political rally. The photo showed Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), both of whom self-identify as democratic socialists, campaigning for a fellow socialist — Zohran Mamdani — in New York City&#8217;s mayoral race.
&#8220;We&#8217;re being destroyed from within,&#8221; Gaines posted.

&#8220;Maybe if you channeled all this anger into swimming faster you wouldn’t have come in fifth,&#8221; Ocasio-Cortez jabbed back, referencing the 2022 NCAA championships where Gaines had tied for 5th place with trans-identifying male swimmer Lia Thomas.

Three years ago, NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines declared October 10 “XX Day,” an opportunity to celebrate female athletes who refuse to bow to radical left-wing gender ideology. 
This October 10, the XX-XY Athletics Fund announced several new 2025 Courage Wins Champions from a group of young women who hail from two of the most radical states in the nation, Oregon and California.
These female athletes didn’t just talk about fairness in sports. They put their names, reputations, and safety on the line to defend it.
They are high school athletes with no publicists or powerful sponsors backing them up. But despite the mainstream media and other powerful forces opposing them, these athletes stood proudly for the truth.
Jennifer Sey, the founder and CEO of XX-XY Athletics, says that deep personal conviction is contagious. 
“At a time when threats and bullying have escalated to violence, we are more determined than ever to use our voices and to reward those brave enough to use theirs to stand up for truth and biological reality,” Sey told The Daily Wire of the new winners.
“We need more speech, not less,” she added. “So we’re doubling down and awarding more winners than ever.” Sey added that these athletes are fighting “giants” like Nike and California Governor Gavin Newsom from “ground zero of the battle for fairness in sports.”
She went on, “It’s also notable that today is the deadline for Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to honor the sex-based rights of women in his state or cave to ideological bullies’ demands. He’s a coach and he knows the realities of sport. Young athletes like Kendall Kotzmacher are saving the day so high school girls won’t be erased and humiliated in their own sport.”
“By acknowledging and celebrating these brave young women, we hope to encourage more to stand up in defense of women’s sports as well,” Sey concluded.
Oregon is a state where track and field reigns supreme and where Nike, one of the most aggressively “gender progressive” sports brands, is headquartered. This is where five high school girls made a stand that challenged their state’s athletic programs.
Reese Eckard, Maddie Eischen, and Sophia Carpenter refused to compete against a male athlete at the Chehalem Track and Field Classic last spring. They knew it might cost them friends, rankings, and potentially their athletic futures, but they did it anyway.
<div id="attachment_983855" style="width: 738px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-983855" class="size-large wp-image-983855" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/Alexa-Anderson-728x576.jpg" alt="Alexa Anderson" width="728" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/Alexa-Anderson-728x576.jpg 728w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/Alexa-Anderson-300x237.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/Alexa-Anderson-768x607.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/Alexa-Anderson.jpg 1200w" sizes=" (max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px" />XX-XY Athletics</div>
“I am so grateful for the support XX-XY Athletics has given me as I speak out for fairness in girls’ sports.   I’ve gained so much courage from the other athletes here in Oregon who are also standing up for equal opportunity. Thank you to XX-XY for empowering me to share the truth. Together, our message becomes even stronger,” Eckard said in a statement. 
Their act of defiance sparked something bigger. When All-American runner Sophia Castañeda, the fastest female sophomore in Oregon history in the 400m, lost to a male athlete and was bullied for speaking up, she joined forces with the others. Together, they filed suit against the Oregon Schools Athletic Association.
<div id="attachment_983857" style="width: 777px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-983857" class="size-large wp-image-983857" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/Sophia-Castaneda-767x576.jpeg" alt="Sophia Castaneda" width="767" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/Sophia-Castaneda-767x576.jpeg 767w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/Sophia-Castaneda-300x225.jpeg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/Sophia-Castaneda-768x577.jpeg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/Sophia-Castaneda.jpeg 1200w" sizes=" (max-width: 767px) 100vw, 767px" />XX-XY Athletics</div>
And that’s not all. In a now-viral image, Alexa Anderson and Eckard can be seen stepping off the podium after a male competitor was crowned the girls’ state high jump champion. 
“I just didn’t think that it’s fair to biological females to allow and encourage biological males to compete among us, not only for myself and the other girl that stepped down, but the girl who should have been on the podium and the girl who didn’t even get to go to state because she was beaten by a biological male at districts,” Anderson said. 
“It is not about hate or transphobia at all. It’s about protecting women’s rights and their right to fair and equal competition within sports,” she said.
These are high schoolers fighting the same multi-billion-dollar sports industry that silenced adult Olympians. Their courage didn’t just win applause. It earned them the title of 2025 Courage Wins Champions.
Over in California, the ideological capital of this cultural madness, Governor Newsom’s administration is suing the federal government to preserve policies that force girls to compete against biological males. 
At Jurupa Valley High School, three teenage girls, including sisters Alyssa and Madison McPherson and their teammate Hadeel Hazameh, are refusing to play along.

“Standing up for what’s right shows more strength than any win or medal ever could,” Hazameh said of their efforts.
They’ve faced everything from online harassment to physical intimidation to threats against their faith. Still, they joined a lawsuit against their school district and the California Department of Education, demanding what should never have been controversial: that girls deserve their own sports.
“It’s not always easy to speak up, but that’s what makes it so powerful. Taking a stand shows other girls that they can be strong, fearless and true to themselves,” Alyssa McPherson said.
Courage Wins Award winners receive up to $5,000 and a spot in a leadership program designed to help them continue speaking up without being punished financially or socially.
That’s the heart of what Sey and XX-XY Athletics are building: a movement that makes standing for truth possible again.
Previous honorees include Brooke Slusser, Lauren Miller, Payton McNabb, Emmy Salerno, Stephanie Turner, Sia Liilii, and the Lincoln Middle School Five, a group of middle schoolers who took on adults and won.
The girls honored this year didn’t ask to be activists; they were just seeking fair competition. But they were unafraid to call out injustice when they saw it, rather than going away quietly. 
The Goliaths they’re fighting, Nike, Newsom, and every screeching activist with a platform, should take note. Because these brave Davids are the new face of women’s sports. 
As Sey put it, “We’re not done yet.”

Title IX

WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump is directing the Department of Homeland Security to develop policies to block male international athletes from competing against women in the United States, The Daily Wire can exclusively report.
On Monday, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will issue guidance building off Trump&#8217;s Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports executive order, ensuring that certain athlete-related petitions and applications will be available only to women.
“Men do not belong in women’s sports,&#8221; USCIS spokesman Matthew Tragesser told The Daily Wire. &#8220;USCIS is closing the loophole for foreign male athletes whose only chance at winning elite sports is to change their gender identity and leverage their biological advantages against women.&#8221;
&#8220;It’s a matter of safety, fairness, respect, and truth that only biological female athletes receive a visa to come to the U.S. to participate in women’s sports,&#8221; he added. &#8220;The Trump administration is standing up for the silent majority who have long been victims of leftist policies that defy common sense.&#8221;
The agency&#8217;s update will clarify and revise guidance related to the visa categories &#8220;O-1A aliens of extraordinary ability,&#8221; &#8220;E11 aliens of extraordinary ability,&#8221; &#8220;E21 aliens of exceptional ability,&#8221; and &#8220;national interest waivers (NIWs).&#8221;
When considering these categories, if USCIS is considering a male athlete who says he is a transgender woman and thus wants to compete in women&#8217;s sports in the United States, USCIS will view the fact that this man has competed against women in the past as a negative factor when determining if he is among &#8220;the small percentage at the very top of the field.&#8221;
<div id="attachment_955815" style="width: 874px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/?attachment_id=955815" rel="attachment wp-att-955815"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-955815" class="wp-image-955815 size-large" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/08/GettyImages-2197854021-1-864x576.jpg" alt="" width="864" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/08/GettyImages-2197854021-1-864x576.jpg 864w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/08/GettyImages-2197854021-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/08/GettyImages-2197854021-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/08/GettyImages-2197854021-1.jpg 1024w" sizes=" (max-width: 864px) 100vw, 864px" /></a>Riley Gaines watches as President Donald Trump delivers remarks before signing the “No Men in Women’s Sports” executive order in the East Room at the White House on February 5, 2025 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Andrew Harnik/Getty Images)</div>
Similarly, when looking at a male athlete who has &#8220;gained acclaim in men&#8217;s sports and seeks to compete in women&#8217;s sports&#8221; in the United States, USCIS will not consider him to be trying to &#8220;continue work in his area of extraordinary ability.&#8221;
The agency also says that male athletes who want to enter the country in order to compete in women&#8217;s sports &#8220;do not substantially benefit the United States&#8221; and that it is not in the national interest of the United States to &#8220;waive the job offer and, thus, the labor certification requirement for male athletes whose proposed endeavor is to compete in women’s sports.&#8221;
The move, which is part of USCIS&#8217;s efforts to protect all-female athletic opportunities, will ensure that &#8220;male aliens&#8221; who want immigration benefits aren&#8217;t coming to the United States to participate in women&#8217;s sports by pretending to be women.
A USCIS spokesman told The Daily Wire that the president&#8217;s February executive order was the catalyst for the agency&#8217;s decision. That order directed that all funds be rescinded from &#8220;educational programs that deprive women and girls of fair athletic opportunities,&#8221; saying that allowing men in women&#8217;s sports is &#8220;demeaning, unfair, and dangerous to women and girls, and denies women and girls the equal opportunity to participate and excel in competitive sports.&#8221;
&#8220;It shall also be the policy of the United States to oppose male competitive participation in women’s sports more broadly, as a matter of safety, fairness, dignity, and truth,&#8221; Trump&#8217;s executive order stated.
The move is also interesting since the next Summer Olympic Games will be held in the United States in 2028 ( the 2026 Winter Olympics, will be hosted by Italy). The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee quietly changed its policy in July to comply with the president&#8217;s executive order and ban men from competing against women, a major win for conservatives and the White House.

EXCLUSIVE: Trump Admin Updates Visa Categories To Block Men From Women’s Sports

Anyone paying attention to the fight for women’s sports already knows that Riley Gaines isn’t backing down. And as the nation starts to wake up, she’s no longer alone.
The 12-time All-American swimmer and tireless women’s advocate has become a household name by doing something simple but radical: she’s speaking the truth. Now, Gaines is teaming up with XX-XY Athletics, the only athletic brand unapologetically championing biological women, to launch a collaboration that’s as bold and brave as she is. 
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Riley Gaines&#039; Be Bold Collection Is Here" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tuEEVWfPcMQ?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The retro-inspired Be Bold collection is infused with red, white, and blue to showcase unapologetic pride in this nation. But the brand and the styles aren’t just fashion — they represent a cultural pushback. And according to XX-XY founder Jennifer Sey, the timing couldn’t be more perfect.
“The first drop launched on June 23rd, the anniversary of Title IX. So it&#8217;s a celebration of all that Title IX represents, the opportunity it presented for women and girls across the country,” Sey told The Daily Wire in an exclusive interview. “And it sort of highlights the fact that we need to continue to fight to uphold it. We’re not going backwards.”
Not long before the collection’s June release, the Department of Education ruled that the University of Pennsylvania <a href="https://www.ed.gov/about/news/press-release/us-department-of-education-announces-university-of-pennsylvania-has-entered-resolution-agreement-resolve-its-title-ix-violations#:~:text=This%20action%20follows%20the%20Department's,the%20Trump%20effect%20in%20action.">violated Title IX</a> by allowing a biological male to compete on the women’s swim team, therefore robbing female athletes of records, awards, and their dignity. 
The school was forced to apologize and restore honors to athletes like Gaines. Shortly after, the Supreme Court <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/red-states-set-to-defend-womens-sports-at-supreme-court">announced</a> it would hear two landmark cases involving men competing in women&#8217;s sports. Sey said it’s all proof that the cultural tide is turning, and that this collection will help capture that truth.
“The world is shifting under our feet,” she said. “That’s in large part due to Riley’s work.”
Sey has a background in standing up for what’s right. A former elite gymnast and the first whistleblower in her sport to expose abuse, she spent decades at the helm of major brands like Levi’s before founding XX-XY Athletics in 2023 with a singular mission: to stand up for real women.
“I looked around at all the big brands pretending to champion female athletes, and none of them really did. They make money off of it, but behind the scenes, they treat women with astonishing disregard,” she said.
With Be Bold, Sey is hoping to turn that hypocrisy on its head.
The collection wasn’t just inspired by Gaines. It was built with her.
“She was totally involved,” Sey said of the line of fitness apparel. “The red, white, and blue color scheme? That’s all her. The name Be Bold? That’s how she signs her books. We leaned into her favorite pieces and her signature style.”
<div id="attachment_951509" style="width: 586px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-951509" class="size-large wp-image-951509" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Riley-leggings-and-tank_5664-576x576.jpg" alt="Cropped performance tank" width="576" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Riley-leggings-and-tank_5664-576x576.jpg 576w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Riley-leggings-and-tank_5664-300x300.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Riley-leggings-and-tank_5664-150x150.jpg 150w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Riley-leggings-and-tank_5664-768x768.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Riley-leggings-and-tank_5664.jpg 1200w" sizes=" (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px" />XX-XY Athletics</div>
Gaines’s go-to item is the cropped performance tank, Sey says, stressing that all the pieces both make a statement and support real athletes who need their sportswear to work as hard as they do. These are high-quality items designed for female athletes who have both principles and high standards.
Another standout from the collection is the oversized concert tee, a nod to both Gen Z-approved oversized street style and old-school Americana. The back of the tee features the 37 words of Title IX, a fashionable protest.
<div id="attachment_951511" style="width: 586px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-951511" class="size-large wp-image-951511" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Title-9-T_7385-576x576.jpg" alt="Title IX tee" width="576" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Title-9-T_7385-576x576.jpg 576w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Title-9-T_7385-300x300.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Title-9-T_7385-150x150.jpg 150w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Title-9-T_7385-768x768.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Title-9-T_7385.jpg 1200w" sizes=" (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px" />XX-XY Athletics</div>
And for the non-athletes, there are plenty of options for a more casual look, like a vintage-inspired velour tracksuit straight out of 1972.
“When I was on the national team in the very early 80s, velour tracksuits were our dress sweats that we wore to march out at major international competitions,” Sey recalled. “So we definitely allude to them with some of the styling…we definitely use 1972 as a grounding point.”
<div id="attachment_951513" style="width: 586px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-951513" class="size-large wp-image-951513" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Velour-tracksuit-576x576.jpg" alt="Velour trackuit" width="576" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Velour-tracksuit-576x576.jpg 576w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Velour-tracksuit-300x300.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Velour-tracksuit-150x150.jpg 150w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Velour-tracksuit-768x768.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Velour-tracksuit.jpg 1200w" sizes=" (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px" />XX-XY Athletics</div>
This collection isn’t just about Riley, nor is it just a fashion statement. It’s about offering a platform to female athletes who’ve been abandoned by major brands and sports teams too afraid to take a side.
“One of the things we pride ourselves on is we scoop up athletes that no one else will touch. We will platform and empower the female athletes,” Sey said. “So they don&#8217;t feel so alone. Oftentimes they&#8217;re the only ones on their team or in their community [speaking up]. But when they realize there&#8217;s this network of women across the country who are doing the same thing, it&#8217;s incredibly powerful to have that.”
<div id="attachment_951507" style="width: 586px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-951507" class="size-large wp-image-951507" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Riley-leggings-and-tank_5634-576x576.jpg" alt="leggings and tank" width="576" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Riley-leggings-and-tank_5634-576x576.jpg 576w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Riley-leggings-and-tank_5634-300x300.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Riley-leggings-and-tank_5634-150x150.jpg 150w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Riley-leggings-and-tank_5634-768x768.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Riley-leggings-and-tank_5634.jpg 1200w" sizes=" (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px" />XX-XY Athletics</div>
Sey says Gaines will continue working closely with the brand to identify and support more athletes who have the courage to speak up.
“At the end of the day, we&#8217;re all about supporting female athletes. I mean, that&#8217;s what it comes down to,” she said.
XX-XY’s gear isn’t just for show. A runner recently completed the Boston Marathon in under three hours wearing one of their tanks. That same style shows up in the new Be Bold collection, but this time reimagined in patriotic hues.
The idea behind Be Bold is simple but subversive: give everyday Americans an easy way to express support for truth, fairness, and biological reality without having to say a word.
“The reason I started the brand, or at least part of it, was I felt like if we could create something really cool that was also world-class products, we could give people an easy way to sort of rep their advocacy,” Sey said. “The mainstream brands do this. Why can&#8217;t we do it?”
Sey, who’s been targeted by critics and called every name in the book. But she says the backlash isn’t stopping her. 
“Noisy doesn’t mean right,” she said. “You’ve got to screw up your courage and stand by women and girls.”
The Gaines collaboration is just the beginning. Sey teased more limited-edition drops on the horizon, plus a deeper partnership with Riley that goes beyond just appearing in ads. 
<div id="attachment_951515" style="width: 586px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-951515" class="size-large wp-image-951515" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Gaines-group-576x576.jpg" alt="Gaines group" width="576" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Gaines-group-576x576.jpg 576w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Gaines-group-300x300.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Gaines-group-150x150.jpg 150w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Gaines-group-768x768.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Gaines-group.jpg 1200w" sizes=" (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px" />XX-XY Athletics</div>
When asked where she dreams of seeing pieces from the Be Bold collection show up, Sey didn’t hesitate.
“We would love to see someone wear any item atop a podium at an NCAA championship,” she said, “Or walking into the Supreme Court wearing a Title IX tee, that would be amazing, right?”
As the legal battles heat up, broader cultural beliefs continue to influence how this topic is perceived in the general public. Sey says the silent majority is finally starting to speak up. 
“You know, I think this movement for common sense is sort of billed as right-wing by the mainstream media. But the fact is, it&#8217;s not. It&#8217;s a really broad-based coalition. You can&#8217;t have 80% of Americans [agreeing] and have it only be the right. It’s just regular people.”

Olympic gymnast <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-lgbt-movement-is-collapsing-and-simone-biles-apology-proves-it">Simone Biles</a> has seemingly confirmed her recent breast augmentation, after weeks of <a href="https://pagesix.com/2025/07/07/celebrity-news/simone-biles-fuels-boob-job-speculation-with-bikini-photos/">speculation</a> that she underwent the procedure.
In a post showcasing her outfit from the ESPY Awards, Biles tagged a plastic surgeon who promotes herself as &#8220;The Breast Doc.&#8221; The gymnast also liked comments on the picture of her wearing a low-cut dress complimenting and defending the apparent procedure.
The gymnast <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DMOnViCtOvc/?img_index=3">posted photos</a> from the ESPY Awards on Instagram this past week, and tagged Dr. Kriti Mohan, a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Biles went further to confirm the procedure, liking comments that defend and promote the surgery, including one that said, &#8220;your doctor deserves an ESPY, and an Emmy, Academy Award, Tony etc&#8230;&#8221;

Biles recently <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/simone-biles-deletes-x-account-after-clashing-with-riley-gaines-over-girls-sports">made headlines for attacking Riley Gaines</a>, a women&#8217;s rights advocate and former top collegiate swimmer. Biles suggested Gaines was built like a man and made other attacks on her fellow athlete for defending girls&#8217; sports.
Biles, who is notably a body positivity advocate, later <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/i-apologize-simone-biles-backs-down-in-riley-gaines-spat-calls-for-fair-competition">apologized</a> to Gaines for the nasty remark and seemed to back away — or at least muddy the waters concerning her position that males who identify as women should be allowed to compete against females.
Biles has been open about her struggles growing up with a muscular body, saying she used to face ridicule from men because she was stronger than them.
“You get a little bit shy about your body because you are very muscular,” Biles said when she won her first gold medals as a teenager.
“Going to public school nobody really had a body build that I did, and I was a girl, so the guys would sometimes make fun of me,” Biles said in 2016. “I think they were just jealous because they didn’t have the muscle definition I did. I would try to hide my muscles, not show them, and I would always wear a jacket.”
Biles posed for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition last year, looking <a href="https://swimsuit.si.com/tag/simone-biles">notably different</a> than she did at the ESPYs.

Former ESPN host Keith Olbermann clashed with Riley Gaines this week following the University of Pennsylvania’s decision to strip trans-identifying male swimmer Lia Thomas of his program records.
Olbermann called Gaines “whiny” in an X post on Tuesday after the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights announced its agreement with UPenn.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

“Wanted to congratulate Whiny Gaines on now being able to say she finished tied for FOURTH not tied for FIFTH in the Lia Thomas race,” he wrote.
Thomas, who is biologically male, was the first trans-identifying swimmer to win an NCAA Division I title, setting multiple school records and tying for fifth place with Gaines in the 200-yard freestyle event at the 2022 NCAA Division I Women&#8217;s Swimming and Diving Championships. Since then, Gaines has actively spoken against biological men competing in women’s sports.

Earlier this year, President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning men from competing in women’s sports. The NCAA updated its gender eligibility policies in compliance with the administration.
UPenn President J.

“The University will not – on the basis of sex – exclude female students from participation in, deny female students the benefits of, or subject female students to discrimination under, any athletics programs,” Jameson said. “In addition, in providing to female student-athletes intimate facilities such as locker rooms and bathrooms in connection with Penn Athletics, such facilities shall be strictly separated on the basis of sex and comparably provided to each sex.”

Riley Gaines Fires Back After Ex-ESPN Host Mocks Her Advocacy For Women

Former collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines thanked President Donald Trump for defending women in sports and for bringing about a deal that resulted in the University of Pennsylvania apologizing for the damage wrought by its decision to allow a trans-identifying male swimmer to compete as a member of its women&#8217;s team.
The agreement also saw Lia (formerly William) Thomas stripped of medals and the records returned to the women who had rightfully earned them — including Gaines, who famously tied with Thomas for fifth place in the 200 freestyle at the 2022 NCAA Championships.
&#8220;UPenn has agreed to right its wrongs, restore records to the rightful female athletes, and issue an apology to the women impacted by the man they allowed to compete as a woman. Are pigs flying? God bless @realDonaldTrump,&#8221; Gaines wrote in a post on X.

But even as Gaines was thanking Trump for his administration&#8217;s efforts to protect women in athletics, others were pointing out the fact that if Gaines herself had not been one of the first to take a stand — to protect herself and other women and girls — that the result she saw on Tuesday might never have been realized.

‘Are Pigs Flying?’: Riley Gaines Praises Trump As UPenn Strips Records From Trans Swimmer

‘Are Pigs Flying?’: Riley Gaines Praises Trump As UPenn Strips Records, Titles From Trans Swimmer

Executive

NCAA

Women's Swimming

WASHINGTON—The White House has struck a deal with the University of Pennsylvania that requires the school to strip trans-identifying male swimmer Lia Thomas of the titles he won on the women&#8217;s team, The Daily Wire has learned.
The University of Pennsylvania will restore all titles to female athletes that were &#8220;misappropriated&#8221; by male athletes, according to a landmark agreement between the Trump administration and the University of Pennsylvania, a White House official shared with The Daily Wire.
Thomas competed as a female swimmer at the University of Pennsylvania, infamously tying with University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines in 2022 at the NCAAs and taking her trophy — prompting Gaines to take a stand against men in women&#8217;s sports.
&#8220;President Trump has been one of the strongest and most consistent champions for protecting women’s sports,&#8221; the White House official shared. &#8220;Under his leadership, the administration has taken decisive action — through executive orders, public messaging, and policy initiatives — to affirm a simple truth: men do not belong in women’s sports.&#8221;
&#8220;In stark contrast, the University of Pennsylvania has repeatedly violated the spirit and letter of Title IX by allowing biological males to compete in women’s athletic programs — undermining decades of progress and the hard-earned achievements of female athletes,&#8221; the official added.
Under the new agreement, the school is promising to comply with Title IX, the federal civil rights law that prohibits sex discrimination in schools that receive federal funding.
The University of Pennsylvania will not allow males to compete in female sports or use female &#8220;intimate facilities&#8221; and will adopt &#8220;biology-based definitions&#8221; for &#8220;male&#8221; and &#8220;female&#8221; that comply with Trump&#8217;s executive orders on the issue.
The school will also send a &#8220;personalized letter of apology to each impacted female swimmer,&#8221; according to the agreement.
Gaines is one of the female athletes who could receive a letter. She spoke at a White House event on Thursday celebrating the agreement, along with several other female athletes who competed with trans-identifying males.
Shortly after Trump took office, the NCAA, which governs sports for more than half a million college athletes, <a href="https://www.ncaa.org/news/2025/2/6/media-center-ncaa-announces-transgender-student-athlete-participation-policy-change.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">changed</a> its transgender athlete policy to “limit competition in women’s sports to student-athletes assigned female at birth only.”
However, the Trump administration continues to pressure several blue states that still allow trans-identifying males in women&#8217;s sports.
Last week, the Department of Education <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/department-of-education-says-california-violated-title-ix-threatens-legal-action">announced</a> that California was officially in violation of Title IX because the state allows men to compete in women’s sports. The administration gave California 10 days to comply or face losing federal funds.

UPenn Agrees To Strip Medals From Lia Thomas As Part Of Sweeping White House Deal

White House Forces UPenn To Strip Lia Thomas' Medals He Won On Women's Team

Riley Gaines, the former collegiate swimmer who rose to fame advocating to protect women&#8217;s sports and spaces from transgender-identifying males, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DLPoOftgYJx/?hl=en">dropped</a> the first installment of her new clothing collection on Monday, the 53rd anniversary of Title IX. 
Gaines teamed up with XX-XY Athletics for a &#8220;Be Bold&#8221; collaboration intended to &#8220;honor the past and defend the future,&#8221; featuring clothing emblazoned with &#8220;Title IX,&#8221; along with messages like &#8220;Save Women&#8217;s Sports.&#8221;
According to XX-XY’s <a href="https://www.xx-xyathletics.com/pages/riley-collaboration">webpage</a>, &#8220;The collaboration with Riley Gaines and Title IX represents a powerful stand for protecting women’s sports as they were meant to be—fair, female and grounded in truth.&#8221;

Gaines marked the collaboration&#8217;s launch and the anniversary of Title IX with an <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/riley-gaines-title-ix-meant-protect-women-not-erase-us">opinion piece</a> for Fox News, writing, &#8220;Title IX was written to protect women based on biological sex—not self-identified gender. To lose that foundational truth is to lose the heart of the law itself.&#8221;
&#8220;And why does that matter?&#8221; she went on to ask. &#8220;Because growth in sports is about more than medals. It’s about pushing ourselves mentally and physically, developing character, working hard, failing with grace, and winning with integrity. Sports are the training ground for life. And if we allow Title IX to be redefined, we risk losing not just championships—but the next generation of women leaders.&#8221;
Gaines noted how public opinion on transgender athletes has shifted recently and believes the new clothing collection will encourage people to proudly express their principles. 
&#8220;Three years ago it was not popular to say that men and women are different,&#8221; she said. &#8220;But now, having a brand that proclaims it proudly just gives people the courage, the boldness, the bravery to say what everyone already knows to be true.&#8221;
Gaines began collaborating with XX-XY Athletics when it launched in March 2024. The company was founded by Jennifer Sey, an ex-gymnast opposed to transgender-identifying men competing in women’s sports. 
Sey, who got into the textile and brand management business working for Levi Strauss &amp; Co., <a href="https://jennifersey.substack.com/p/the-why-behind-xx-xy-athletics">decided to found XX-XY</a> in response to clothing companies like Nike and Lululemon embracing pro-transgender marketing collaborations with social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney, a biological male who identifies as a woman, and Nikki Hiltz, a biological female who identifies as &#8220;non-binary.&#8221;
Gaines noted that, under the leadership of President Donald Trump, &#8220;The Department of Justice and the Department of Education have taken bold steps to restore Title IX to its original intent.&#8221;
She has expressed her dissatisfaction with previous <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/grotesque-betrayal-of-students-critics-blast-bidens-new-title-ix-regulations-championing-gender-identity?author=Hank+Berrien&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=85&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=%E2%80%98Grotesque+%E2%80%A6+Betrayal+Of+Students%E2%80%99%3A+Critics+Blast+Biden%E2%80%99s+New+Title+IX+Regulations+Championing+%E2%80%98Gender+Identity%E2%80%99">administrations&#8217; reinterpretation</a> of the legislation.
&#8220;Under the Obama and Biden administrations, this landmark civil rights law was gutted in the name of &#8220;inclusion,&#8221; Gaines said. &#8220;Democrats redefined Title IX to accommodate radical gender ideology, allowing men who identify as women to compete in women’s sports, access women’s locker rooms and displace the very people Title IX was meant to protect.&#8221;
Gaines hopes her new clothing collab will inspire others to protect women&#8217;s sports.
&#8220;Title IX opened the doors for women in sport—and we’re not giving that up. Be bold, wear your values, and have faith and courage for the girls who need us to be strong for them. This collection is for real athletes who love America.&#8221;
