RILEY GAINES: The all-out war on female athletes ends now, thanks to President Trump

President Donald Trump is signing an executive order that would ensure that sports competitions meant for women are exclusively competed in by women.

Riley Gaines is the host of OutKick's "Gaines for Girls." She is an Independent Women's Forum ambassador, Turning Point contributor, director of the Riley Gaines Center, and author of "Swimming Against the Current."

I experienced this first hand when the NCAA allowed Lia Thomas—formerly Will Thomas—to swim at the Division I Women’s Swimming and Diving National Championships. Three years prior, he had competed on the men’s team at the same university. Not only did Lia Thomas win a women’s DI national title, robbing that honor from many female Olympians and American record holders, but he was allowed to dress and undress in the women’s locker rooms. The female athletes did not consent to undressing alongside a fully intact male exposing his male genitalia, but the comfort and safety of women were not high up on the NCAA’s priority list.
