Two <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/high-school-track-star-signals-her-dismay-after-being-ousted-from-championship-by-boy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">male</a> high school athletes who claim to be female were no-shows at the California State preliminary Track and Field Championship on Friday.
The two athletes — <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/high-school-track-star-signals-her-dismay-after-being-ousted-from-championship-by-boy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Athena Ryan</a>, from Sonoma Academy, and Lorelei Barrett of Sherman Oaks Buckley — were set to compete in the girls&#8217; 1,600-meter run after qualifying in sectionals.
The California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) seemed to take the side of Ryan and Barrett, taking issue with critics, whom CIF suggests &#8220;harassed&#8221; the trans athletes.
“The CIF is disappointed for two of our student-athletes and their families because due to the actions of others, they found it necessary to withdraw from the State Track and Field Championships out of concern for the student’s well being,” the governing body <a href="https://www.latimes.com/sports/highschool/story/2023-05-26/cif-state-transgender-athletes-withdrawing-track-championships" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> The Los Angeles Times.
CIF added in its statement that the group &#8220;strongly denounces discriminatory or harassing behaviors that impact our student-athletes&#8217; opportunities to participate in interscholastic competitions.”
CIF&#8217;s own guidelines permit male athletes who identify as female to compete in the female category. “All students should have the opportunity to participate in CIF activities in a manner that is consistent with their gender identity, irrespective of the gender listed on a student’s records,&#8221; the group&#8217;s rules <a href="https://www.fresnobee.com/sports/high-school/article275843101.html#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">state</a>.
Ryan&#8217;s sectional win made headlines earlier this month when the girl who was edged out by Ryan expressed her dismay at the unfair situation.
Adeline Johnson, a senior at Branson High School, finished fourth in the girls’ 1,600-meter run at the North Coast Meet of Champions of California finals, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/high-school-track-star-signals-her-dismay-after-being-ousted-from-championship-by-boy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Wire</a> reported. Ryan finished second, and since only the top three finishers qualify for the California Interscholastic Federation State Track &amp; Field Championships, Johnson was barred from moving on.

Parents, female athletes, and political figures have voiced outrage over such rules regarding trans-identifying athletes, arguing the biological advantages male athletes have over women. Riley Gaines, a leading collegiate swimmer, has been one of the most influential voices on the matter. She was edged out in NCAA competition last year by an athlete named Lia Thomas, a male swimmer who claims to be female. Thomas notably swam against males with mediocre results, before switching to female competitions, where the athlete has cleaned up.
&#8220;Both boys (Athena Ryan and Lorelei Barrett) who qualified for the girls high school track and field state championship in California didn&#8217;t not compete in prelims today,&#8221; Gaines posted to Twitter on Friday. &#8220;Did they realize they clearly possess an unfair advantage? Or is that too optimistic?&#8221;

Maine lawmakers in the state House Judiciary Committee <a href="https://www.pressherald.com/2023/05/23/maine-lawmakers-back-bill-to-allow-16-and-17-year-olds-access-to-gender-affirming-care-without-parents-consent/?fbclid=IwAR2L_nMgBW6gCcGLQ07wzfHchfeeTOazcMmOX0Yzf2rLbFFQOLvovc9di18&amp;mibextid=Zxz2cZ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">approved</a> a piece of legislation that would allow 16- and 17-year-olds to undergo hormone therapy to get gender hormone therapy without the consent of their parents. 
Only one Democrat on the Judiciary Committee opposed the bill, which passed through the committee by a vote of 7-1 and is sponsored by Rep. Erin Sheehan D-Biddeford. The bill, <a href="https://legislature.maine.gov/bills/getPDF.asp?paper=HP0340&amp;item=1&amp;snum=131" target="_blank" rel="noopener">L.D. 535</a>, would allow minors aged 16 and 17 to receive cross-sex hormone therapy without the approval of their parents if they have been diagnosed with gender dysphoria. 
&#8220;The goal of this proposal is to protect the lives of young trans people who will certainly be harmed in a delay of gender-affirming care,&#8221; Rep. Sheehan <a href="https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/news/politics/maine-politics/legislature-looks-at-growing-gender-affirming-care-in-the-state-of-maine-politics-lgbtq/97-e0d59d8b-96f1-4599-bf88-c28142a228f6#:~:text=AUGUSTA%2C%20Maine%20%E2%80%94%20Maine%20House%20Democrats,have%20permission%20from%20their%20parents." target="_blank" rel="noopener">remarked</a>.
She also argued that medical transitions are being “politicized and stigmatized in the press and on social media” before adding “transgender people, including youth, are being explicitly vilified and branded a threat to their peers by grownups – even by leaders in their communities.”
The lone Republican who was present, Sen. Eric Brakey, R-Auburn, voted in support of the legislation. The other Republican on the 13-member committee left before the vote. Meanwhile, the one dissenting vote came from Rep. Stephen Moriarty D-Cumberland. Although Rep. Moriarty isn’t opposed to the medical transition of minors, he believes that parents should be made aware. 
A number of pro-trans organizations, including OUT Maine, Equality Maine, MaineTransNet, and others, testified in support of the legislation. Meanwhile, others testified in opposition to the legislation, asserting that lawmakers were waging a “war on children” and stripping parents of their rights.

A second bill, <a href="https://legislature.maine.gov/bills/getPDF.asp?paper=HP1114&amp;item=1&amp;snum=131">L.D. 1735</a>, would protect medical providers who provide medical transitions from prosecution by authorities in other states. The bill is being proposed by Rep. Laurie Osher, D-Orono, who <a href="https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/news/politics/maine-politics/legislature-looks-at-growing-gender-affirming-care-in-the-state-of-maine-politics-lgbtq/97-e0d59d8b-96f1-4599-bf88-c28142a228f6#:~:text=AUGUSTA%2C%20Maine%20%E2%80%94%20Maine%20House%20Democrats,have%20permission%20from%20their%20parents." target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a>, &#8220;That&#8217;s why we call it a shield because we&#8217;re protecting Mainers and the people they treat should also be protected.”  
One physician <a href="https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/news/politics/maine-politics/legislature-looks-at-growing-gender-affirming-care-in-the-state-of-maine-politics-lgbtq/97-e0d59d8b-96f1-4599-bf88-c28142a228f6#:~:text=AUGUSTA%2C%20Maine%20%E2%80%94%20Maine%20House%20Democrats,have%20permission%20from%20their%20parents." target="_blank" rel="noopener">testified</a> against the legislation, remarking, &#8220;As physicians, we know that the brain development is ongoing in adolescence into early adulthood.”
Next week, the Judiciary Committee is set to hear other bills concerning the LGBT movement, including a piece of legislation that would prevent teachers from referring to students with different pronouns without parental consent and one that would ban males who identify as girls from playing in girls’ sports.

The former swimming champion — who was deprived of an NCAA award by male swimmer Lia Thomas — responded to news: &#8220;Breaking: British Cycling departs from International Federation rules and limits women&#8217;s competitive cycling to the FEMALE SEX ONLY.&#8221;
&#8220;Great news!&#8221; Gaines tweeted on Friday. &#8220;Prioritizing fairness as intended to be in sports. Women should never be used as collateral damage to validate feelings/identity of others.&#8221;
&#8220;It&#8217;s time governing bodies of all sports follow [BritishCycling],&#8221; she added. Gaines also gave a special nod to three-time Olympian female cyclist <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/sports/inga-thompson-3-time-olympian-us-calls-cyclists-protest-against-ucis-transgender-athlete-policy">Inga Thompson</a>, who recently encouraged women to protest the unfairness of women being forced to compete against males in her sport.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The governing body announced that the new cycling policy was made to &#8220;safeguard the fairness of competition,&#8221; The <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/othersports/article-12127677/British-Cycling-BAN-transgender-women-racing-female-competition-safeguard-fairness.html">Daily Mail</a> reported.
The change includes making the current men&#8217;s category an &#8220;open&#8221; category where trans-identifying male cyclists can compete against other men, while the female category is just for those who were born female, the outlet noted.
British Cycling Chief Executive Jon Dutton said, &#8220;Our new policies are the product of a robust nine-month review process, which we know will have a very real-world impact for our community both now and in the future.&#8221;
&#8220;I am confident that we have developed policies that both safeguard the fairness of cyclesport competition, whilst ensuring all riders have opportunities to participate,&#8221; Dutton added.

The review concluded that &#8220;even with the suppression of testosterone, trans women who transition post-puberty retain a performance advantage.&#8221;
Trans-identifying male cyclist Emily Bridges blasted the new policy, calling it a &#8220;violent act.&#8221; Bridges was previously set to compete in the female category of the National Omnium Championships. <a href="https://news.yahoo.com/who-is-emily-bridges-trans-cyclist-criticises-new-rules-143636396.html">Bridges</a> previously set the national junior men&#8217;s record over 25 miles before becoming a part of British Cycling&#8217;s Senior Academy in 2019. In 2020, Bridges began identifying as transgender.
The move comes just weeks after trans-identifying male cyclist American Austin Killips won the Tour of the Gila run by the UCI. After the uproar over <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/05/02/transgender-cyclist-austin-killips-wins-womens-race-causes-outrage/">Killips</a>, the group vowed to review its policy and make a ruling by August, a move many believe will include a ban on males competing in the female category.

After a high school freshman boy dominated a girls’ championship in New Hampshire, social media users reacted by calling him a “cheat.”
On May 20, at the <a href="https://www.concordmonitor.com/Track---field-Kearsarge-girls-win-20-team-Wilderness-Championship-in-final-regular-season-meet-51050803" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wilderness Championship</a>, freshman Maelle Jacques finished first in the<a href="https://nh.tfrrs.org/results/80314/4934197/Wilderness_League_Championship_2023/Girls-1600-Meters" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> 1,600-meter run</a> with a time of 5:27 and first in the <a href="https://nh.tfrrs.org/results/80314/4934194/Wilderness_League_Championship_2023/Girls-High-Jump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">high jump</a> with a jump of 4 feet, 11 inches.
<iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KUZ4-UWIW5M" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Social media users issued <a href="https://twitter.com/icons_women/status/1661613539973541889" target="_blank" rel="noopener">condemnatory responses</a> to the news of Jacques’ domination of the two events.
“No. He didn’t win. Cheating is entering the building from the side door like the service maid does,” one commenter remarked.
“Pathetic cheating male,” another echoed.
“Cheat, he knows he&#8217;s a cheat, we know he&#8217;s a cheat, everyone knows he&#8217;s a MASSIVE CHEAT,” a third person added.
“So, basically, this tells me that a guy can grow pigtails and place in certain women&#8217;s events as a freshman? Good job erasing women,” a fourth user stated.
At the 2023 NHIAA Division III <a href="http://live.lancertiming.com/meets/120/events/21/Final" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Track &amp; Field Championships</a> on May 24, Jacques finished second in the girls’ 1600 with a time of 5:32.39, less than two seconds behind the winner, Molly Ellison, who hails from the same high school, and fifth in the Girls High Jump.

The <a href="https://www.nhiaa.org/ckfinder/userfiles/files/3HB%2021-22%20%20I%20Policy.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">by-laws</a> of the NHIAA state:
<blockquote>
Gender Equity: Gender equity is an atmosphere and a reality where fair distribution of overall athletic opportunity and resources, proportionate to enrollment, are available to girls and boys, and where no student athlete, coach, or athletic administrator is discriminated against in any way in the athletic program on the basis of gender.
An athletic program is gender equitable when either the boys or the girls sports program would be pleased to accept as its own the overall program of the other gender. No student shall be denied the opportunity in any implied or explicit manner to participate in an extra-curricular activity because of the race, color, gender, religion, or national origin of the student &#8230;
</blockquote>
In 2016, after the NHIAA’s previous policy that required transgender athletes to have taken hormones before they were allowed to compete had been jettisoned, Jeff Collins, executive director of the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association, <a href="https://www.concordmonitor.com/Concord-NH-LGBTQ-Transgender-Sports-4098315" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that the requirement was “unrealistic,” adding, “What it’s all about is: How do we accommodate these kids, and how do we make sure that they have a fulfilling high school experience? That’s what it really comes down to.”
John Stark Regional High School Principal Chris Corkery stated, “No kid is going to say, ‘Wear a skirt this month and go by Mary and we’ll win the championship.’ That’s just not going to happen.”

Discussing men and boys competing in women&#8217;s sports with a trans activist from Oxford University, Piers Morgan called the practice “grotesquely unfair and unequal,” only for the activist to protest she had no idea that there was even a problem.
Morgan pointed out that he had invited the president of Oxford University LGBTQ+ Society to come on the program, but was rebuffed.
“That person did not come on your show because they have been subject to this consistent program of hate that I’ve been talking about,” trans activist Riz Possnett responded, adding, “The reason that other people don’t want to take up interviews like this or be on platforms like this is because of the hate campaign that we are being subjected to &#8230; “
“Here’s my problem with the rest of your colleagues,” Morgan stated. “They don’t want to debate because they don’t want to hear someone saying something they don’t like.”
“With regard to a debate: first of all, I don’t believe that trans lives should be a debate,” Possnett declared.
“No one’s debating trans lives,” Morgan asserted. “No one’s debating trans rights to fairness and equality. I&#8217;ve certainly never&#8230; I’ve only ever supported trans rights to fairness and equality.” Then he threw down the gauntlet: “But if you’re going to stand there now on television and say that you believe what’s happening now in women’s sport, for example, is anything but grotesquely unfair and unequal, then say so, if you genuinely believe it.”
“I think what’s grotesquely unfair and unequal is the violence and hatred that trans people are consistently facing in the media, in person, in public and online,” Possnett deflected.
“That wasn&#8217;t my question,” Morgan persisted. “Is it fair that trans athletes are now demolishing women born with female biological bodies at women’s sports. Is that fair? Yes or no?”
“This is a really boring point but I’m happy to answer it,” Possnett said.
“Give me a simple yes or no,” Morgan fired.
“That’s not happening,” Possnett insisted.
 &#8220;Oh, it’s not happening,” Morgan said sarcastically. “All right. You’re obviously not reading the papers. You’re not watching TV. You are totally oblivious to the reality of what&#8217;s happening. &#8230; Ignorance is bliss, right?&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
&quot;That&#39;s not happening&quot; says activist Riz Possnett, when Piers Morgan asks if trans athletes are eroding women&#39;s sports.

I dropped like 17 seconds on my season’s best in the past two weeks. After last weekend, I didn’t think I could run low 5&#8217;s again. I was just coming here trying to break 5 – just glad I finished it out.”
</div>
<div>
“I&#8217;m absolutely opposed to it. There&#8217;s no way this should be allowed,” the parent told <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/california-parent-whose-daughter-lost-biological-male-track-competition-says-unfair-narcissism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News Digital</a>. “Ryan was in like fifth place with 100 to go, and all of a sudden he&#8230; blew past the girls.”
</div>
<div>
“How do you not understand that that&#8217;s unfair?” the parent continued. “I 100% percent empathize with the need to belong and the desire to compete. [However,] you have to understand how hard these girls work to do this. You&#8217;re cheating [the sport], like the narcissism of this whole thing.”
</div>
<div>
The parent intimated that the girl competitors were reticent to speak out, saying, “The student athletes&#8217; reactions are very tempered and controlled as much as they can because they&#8217;re not allowed to show any reaction whatsoever to potentially not affirm what is happening. We&#8217;ve been advised that anything that potentially can come off as bullying is a code of conduct violation. And so by CIF rules [the girls are] unable to speak out about this.”
</div>
<div>
The bullying policy also targets parents from voicing their disapproval, the parent noted, saying that if they did so, that would be considered bullying.
</div>
<div>
“As a former CA state champion high jumper, I think this is complete and utter nonsense. I’m embarrassed for our state and feel sorry for the girls who were cheated in the process,” Darren Marble, who <a href="https://www.losaltosonline.com/archives/marble-wins-state-crown-in-high-jump/article_251127c6-6931-5fa9-ba66-460bb0f20b00.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">won the California state championship</a> in the high jump in 1998, tweeted.

“Security removed women from the field seen holding signs in support of girls in the sectional meet,” reported the Independent Council on Women’s Sports, which describes itself as a “network of women athletes &amp; our supporters advocating for female protected categories in sport,” adding “Many parents were completely unaware there was a boy competing in girls races.”

‘All Of A Sudden He … Blew Past The Girls’: Angry Parent Of Girl Runner Who Lost To Boy Speaks Out

Track and Field

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nfl">NFL</a> Hall of Famer Brett Favre made it clear where he stands when it comes to transgenderism and the radical activists pushing it, calling it &#8220;wrong&#8221; that a trans-identifying man can use a women&#8217;s bathroom.
During the 53-year-old&#8217;s recent appearance on Jason Whitlock&#8217;s &#8220;Fearless&#8221; podcast, Favre said some of the things leftists promote are &#8220;beyond belief,&#8221; <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/sports/brett-favre-says-usa-better-place-trump-president-says-athletes-afraid-trans-backlash">Fox News</a> reported.
&#8220;To think that a young man who identifies as a girl, I don&#8217;t understand it — just hear me out — can go into a girl&#8217;s bathroom and use the restroom with girls, and for us to think that&#8217;s OK, I think is wrong,&#8221; said Favre.
&#8220;I&#8217;m sorry…&#8221; he added. &#8220;I just think some things we&#8217;re allowing in this country are beyond belief… Some of the thoughts and beliefs we&#8217;re seeing are crazy.&#8221;

The former Green Bay Packers quarterback&#8217;s conversation with Whitlock then turned to the debate of biological trans-identifying males being able to compete against women in female sports, with both blasting the idea.
&#8220;I think maybe vast majority [of athletes] are afraid of what it&#8217;ll do to their career,&#8221; Favre said when asked why athletes aren&#8217;t speaking out. &#8220;And it&#8217;s not affecting them directly. Not yet, at least.&#8221;
&#8220;Who knows where this country&#8217;s going?&#8221; he added. &#8220;It may affect them somewhere down the road. Is it too late? I don&#8217;t know. It&#8217;s scary.&#8221;

Swimming champion <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/riley-gaines-skewers-lia-thomas-over-trans-swimmers-latest-heartbreaking-claim" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Riley Gaines</a> — who was deprived of an NCAA award by trans-identifying swimmer Lia Thomas — slammed Adidas after it used male models to promote a women&#8217;s swimsuit.
The former college swimmer responded on Wednesday to a tweet about the brand&#8217;s new &#8220;Pride Swimsuit&#8221; with a headline that read, &#8220;The new Adidas Women&#8217;s Swimwear Range modeled by…men.&#8221; It included images of men wearing women&#8217;s one-piece swimsuits.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t understand why companies are voluntarily doing this to themselves,&#8221; Gaines <a href="https://twitter.com/Riley_Gaines_/status/1658861624768225280?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a>. &#8220;They could have at least said the suit is &#8216;unisex,&#8217; but they didn&#8217;t because it&#8217;s about erasing women. Ever wondered why we hardly see this go the other way? Women&#8217;s swimsuits aren&#8217;t accessorized with a bulge.&#8221;
Gaines’ post received hundreds of comments, with many agreeing that the move by the sports brand was just the latest example of women &#8220;being erased,&#8221; calling it &#8220;sickening.&#8221;
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) tweeted, &#8220;I&#8217;m old enough to remember when women actually modeled women&#8217;s bathing suits, not men.&#8221;

‘Women’s Swimsuits Aren’t Accessorized With A Bulge’: Riley Gaines Slams Adidas Swimsuit Modeled By Male

'Women’s Swimsuits Aren't Accessorized With A Bulge': Riley Gaines Slams Adidas Swimsuit Modeled By Male

Riley Gaines had big plans for her life: she was going to graduate from University of Kentucky, go on to dental school, become an endodontist, and ride off into the sunset with her husband and dog by her side.
All that changed when, at the last meet of an illustrious collegiate swimming career, she came face to face with a challenge that she knew was going to impact young female athletes for years to come unless someone — someone like her — stood up and said &#8220;no more.&#8221;
Gaines never planned a life of activism. She told The Daily Wire that her plan was to go to dental school and study endodontics — laughing as she admitted she would be the one responsible for performing universally dreaded procedures like root canals.
“But I quickly learned that the fastest way to make God laugh was to make plans for myself,” she said.

Gaines came from a family of athletes — a father who played football professionally, a brother who played college football, and a sister who is a gymnast — so it was no surprise that she made a name for herself as an athlete as well. The pool was where she shined, and after years of training, she was ready to compete in the NCAA finals — wearing blue for University of Kentucky.

It was the final meet of her collegiate career, and even though she had been warned ahead of time that she would be competing against a biological male — trans-identifying University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas — she and the other women competing had apparently not been warned that Thomas would be granted full access to the women’s facilities during the competition.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/riley-gaines-save-women-s-sports8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: RILEY GAINES&#8217; INTERVIEW ON CRAIN &amp; COMPANY</a>
Thomas, who was still biologically male in every way, was allowed access to the locker room while female competitors stripped down and struggled into their skintight racing suits. The women, Gaines said, felt uncomfortable and intimidated — but many were afraid to speak up for fear of backlash.
In the pool, Thomas tied Gaines for fifth place in the 200 freestyle — but when the time came for photos of the winners, the NCAA leadership insisted on having Thomas hold up the trophy for publicity purposes.
Gaines recalled the words of the NCAA representative, who told her, “Hey, I just want to let you know, we only have one fifth place trophy, so yours will be coming in the mail. We went ahead and gave the fifth place trophy to Lia, but you can pose on the podium with the sixth place trophy.”
Gaines was incensed, calling the overall experience “disheartening” not because she didn’t get the trophy, but because she saw what the NCAA had been willing to do for the right kind of photo opportunity.
<div id="attachment_547491" style="width: 671px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-547491" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-547491 size-large" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-09-at-9.36.48-AM-661x576.jpg" alt="Photo courtesy of Riley Gaines" width="661" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-09-at-9.36.48-AM-661x576.jpg 661w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-09-at-9.36.48-AM-300x262.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-09-at-9.36.48-AM-768x669.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-09-at-9.36.48-AM.jpg 881w" sizes="(max-width: 661px) 100vw, 661px" />Photo courtesy of Riley Gaines</div>
That, she told The Daily Wire, is what told her that she might need to change her plans.
“I’m done competing, this is not about me. I can’t imagine my sister having to share her locker room with a man. I hope to one day have a daughter, and I can’t imagine her not having the same opportunities that I had up until my very last swim meets,” Gaines said.
Noting that she’s often then accused of not wanting trans-identifying students to have opportunities in sports, she said nothing could be further from the truth. She just believes that sports, on a fundamental level, have to be fair to have value — and that allowing biological males to compete with women is allowing certain people an unfair advantage.
“Involvement in sports is important, especially for girls, but for everyone. It fosters growth, leadership skills, and resiliency, and it teaches kids how to take constructive criticism and use it to make themselves better,” Gaines explained, adding, “I don’t think anyone should be denied access to this, that’s a silly accusation, I’m often accused of this. But it has to be fair.”
Gaines quickly realized that dental school would always be there, but the need for a loud voice defending women in sports was both immediate and urgent. Reflecting on the current state of affairs — the fact that biological males have been allowed into women&#8217;s spaces, often based on little more than self-identifying as transgender — Gaines said people have to realize it is not just about sports.
&#8220;This is bigger than just sports — the changing of the language, words that apply to women, the silencing of women’s voices. It may have to get worse before it gets better,&#8221; she said — but she added that she believes most people don&#8217;t align with the most radical activists. &#8220;I think the overwhelming majority are baffled by this that we can’t define woman.&#8221;
&#8220;When you see the bigger picture — looking at how universities, corporations, even political officials, are denying objective truth — we’re living in a George Orwell dystopian novel where they’re telling us to say that 2+2=5 and we all know it’s not 5,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;It feels as if it’s a cult — it must consume your every waking thought and action. But it&#8217;s important for people to understand that your gender identity is not all you are.&#8221;
For now, Gaines says, she&#8217;s going to fight. &#8220;Now I boycott,&#8221; she said with a laugh. &#8220;My husband gets so sick of it, there are companies that I won’t go into. I have always been strong-willed but now I stand stronger than I did before.&#8221;
She attributed her ability to stand strong to the support system around her and the lessons she learned from her own involvement in elite competition. &#8220;My wheels are always turning,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I find myself constantly questioning everything.&#8221;
Gaines concluded with her own advice to young girls who were thinking about competing or who were already involved, saying, &#8220;Do not get discouraged, do not cave. It breaks my heart to have parents tell me that their middle school and high school-aged daughters don’t want to compete anymore because they either have direct experience [competing against biological males] or because they’re afraid it might happen.&#8221;
&#8220;To parents, I’d say protect your daughters,&#8221; she added. &#8220;And teach your sons masculinity. Teach them masculinity because then they will want to protect your daughters as well.&#8221;

&#8220;You see Darren Glines coming at you in the ladies room, there&#8217;s not a person alive who wouldn&#8217;t say &#8216;get him out of here, he doesn&#8217;t belong, that&#8217;s a man, &#8216;&#8221; the former Fox News host continued.  Shen then noted other stories like the one involving <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/women-file-lawsuit-against-sorority-after-it-accepts-man-who-allegedly-watches-them-while-visibly-aroused" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sorority girls</a> of a Kappa Kappa Gamma chapter suing their organization after it forced them to allow a biological male trans as a member into their house who&#8217;s now been accused of &#8220;lewd and lascivious behaviors&#8221; against them.

&#8220;If we don&#8217;t find our voices and start speaking up against this nonsense, we can kiss every woman&#8217;s space goodbye!&#8221; Kelly shouted. &#8220;We can kiss women&#8217;s rights goodbye.&#8221;
&#8220;We can kiss sororities goodbye,&#8221; she added. &#8220;We can take off our tops and our underwear and do our yoga in front of perverted men who just want to get off watching us &#8217;til the cows come home. Stick your daughter in the sorority, let &#8217;em at her.&#8221;
&#8220;Find your voices, ladies — and the men who support us,&#8221; Kelly continued. &#8220;Otherwise, this is our future. I&#8217;m sorry. I&#8217;m done. I&#8217;m done. I don&#8217;t want to deal with this s*** at Tri Delta, Kappa Kappa Gamma, in the women&#8217;s locker room. You can be supportive of trans people and what they&#8217;re going through without surrendering to this madness!&#8221;

‘They Sold Us A Bill Of Goods’: Megyn Kelly Says Transgender Movement Has Gone ‘Too Far’

‘They Sold Us A Bill Of Goods’: Megyn Kelly Says Transgender Movement Has Gone ‘Too Far'

&#8220;Monty Python&#8221; actor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/john-cleese" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Cleese</a> has gone viral after he tweeted about the &#8220;unfair advantage&#8221; biological males have in women&#8217;s sports after a transgender athlete recently won in the female category of a cycling race in the U.K.
The 83-year-old comedian didn&#8217;t hold back when he <a href="https://twitter.com/JohnCleese/status/1652769812383166476?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">responded</a> to a tweet from British journalist Martin Daubney that read, &#8220;Bloke [Male cyclist Cara (Cameron) Dixon] who pretends to be a woman thrashes nearest actual female cyclist by ONE HOUR &#8211; yet would have been 19th in the men&#8217;s race, where he belongs. It&#8217;s time to end the cruel, unfair charade of biological men in women&#8217;s sports! [SaveWomensSports].&#8221;
&#8220;Biological men in women&#8217;s sports have an unfair advantage,&#8221; Cleese tweeted to his 5.6 million followers. At the time of this publication, the tweet has been viewed more than one million times.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

Many agreed with Cleese&#8217;s assessment.
One person tweeted, &#8220;Yes, the Emperor&#8217;s New Clothes, written in 1837, is nothing new. We all see the absurdity, but few in positions of influence are willing to say the obvious for fear of being called transphobes.&#8221;
&#8220;Those debating this can&#8217;t even define &#8216;woman,’” another wrote.
While another person tweeted, &#8220;Of course, they do. It is reprehensible that our media and government support this!&#8221;

Yet another added, &#8220;Proof that trans ideology benefits men first and foremost. Young female athletes will enter a world with fewer rights than their mothers.&#8221;
Cleese famously appeared in &#8220;Monty Python&#8217;s Life of Brian&#8221; in a scene that was ahead of it&#8217;s time regarding a man wanting to become a woman. When one of the male characters announces that he &#8220;wants to be&#8221; a woman, he tells the others in the film to now refer to him as &#8220;Loretta.&#8221;

Cleese tells the man that he can&#8217;t &#8220;have babies,&#8221; and cracks a joke about where the baby would come from.
&#8220;Where&#8217;s the fetus going to gestate?&#8221; Cleese’s character asks. &#8220;Are you going to keep it in a box?&#8221;
