Are Transgender Athletes Destroying Women’s Sports? [Featuring Riley Gaines]

Should biological men who identify as “women” be allowed in women’s locker rooms and compete in women’s events? We live in a world where this is no longer a hypothetical question; it is a reality. Riley Gaines, a former competitive swimmer for the University of Kentucky, tied with male swimmer, Will “Lia” Thomas, in a women’s event. When he received the trophy she deserved, she could no longer remain silent. “All season we knew the unfair competition was wrong. We knew the locker room scene of having to undress and simultaneously exploit ourselves to a six-foot-four, fully grown, fully naked, fully intact man-we knew that was wrong. We knew the silencing that we were facing from our universities-we knew that was wrong … But it wasn't until this official reduced everything that we had worked our entire lives for-down to a photo op to validate the feelings and the identity of a man at the expense of ours-that’s when I decided I was no longer willing to wait,” Gaines stated. We are witnessing a war on women’s sports, and women’s safety is being jeopardized under the guise of “equality,” “acceptance,’ and “tolerance.” Listen to this podcast to discover how Riley Gaines became a voice for truth and how she continues to advocate for women’s rights in academic spaces.

I was told once that "What is tolerated in one generation will be accepted in the next generation and then celebrated in the next." Praying for Riley Gains in her fight against this evil. And I appreciate Pastor Jackson in expressing the truth of the Gospel and science!

[@roberthouston3809]

This was very good! I will keep Riley in prayer and I subscribed! God Bless

[@user-ej2oi6kw4d]

WOW!! Two TREMENDOUS PATRIOTIC WARRIORS for Godly principles!!! Praise Jesus!

[@NikiSchap]

As a college women’s basketball player from the 90’s - all the women in this country should stand together and refuse to play against men. It’s time to stand up and stop being quiet!!

[@sarahgood2580]

I own and show Quarter Horses. Halter classes are separated into Mares, Geldings, and Stallions. But ALSO further divided into Weanlings, Yearlings, 2 year olds, 3 year olds, and Aged [Mares, Geldings, or Stallions]. The only exception is a Grand/Reserve Champion class. By that ideology, if Leah Thomas wants to compete, it should only be against other trans-gender athletes. Would a female, trying to be a male, be able to win against males?

[@user-ej2oi6kw4d]

Agree 💯!

[@sandrarose-c8k]

Very proud of your stand. God Bless you and keep you safe. Amen

[@judygroce7741]

Thank you for all you do God Bless

[@susanfisher1761]

God bless Riley Gaines. Thank you Pastor for this insightful interview with her.

[@user-ej2oi6kw4d]

Amen!

[@donovanweaver2436]

Riley Gaines is at the top of my list of American heroes and warriors for God!!

[@huntersims1966]

I don't believe in the Christian mythology, and I'm very progressive. However, one doesn't have to believe in deities or be conservative to recognize that transgender athletes have an unfair advantage. That doesn't mean transgender individuals don't deserve the same rights as everyone else, but it does mean that biological males have an overwhelming advantage. Some progressives are intellectually dishonest on cultural issues in the same way that some conservatives are intellectually dishonest on scientific issues. As a follower of men's and women's college tennis, I recognize the reason for having separate men's and women's tennis programs. While the skill level between men and women are comparable, the physical differences between the two are substantial.

[@BruceThomason]

Thank you Riley, keep standing on God's word !

[@CarnivoreAnesthetist]

I’m just I’m shock ! When I watch stuff like this I can’t believe it’s real. I have to pinch myself! What is going on !?

[@dotboutwell2877]

Thank you for standing 🆙 for women- may God bless & protect you Riley♥️🤲

[@marioesparza7784]

Hindsight Is 20-20, You Should’ve Taken The Trophy Out Of His Hands And That Being The Picture Printed World Wide

[@nakana149]

Riley Gaines is incredible!!!

[@user-ej2oi6kw4d]

Amen!

[@AngusKart]

It seems like the recent SCOTUS decision overruling the Chevron decision would also apply to the title 9 rewrite. basically the Department of Education does not have the authority to rewrite title 9

[@christine7638]

Inspiring Godly lady. I am humbled. 🕊

[@GlennCrawford]

God bless you both... for your courage and the ground that you stand!!!

[@jackodell4756]

DEI - Distractions Errors & Incompetence

[@elsijaramillo3303]

Love You Riley. Thanks the Lord for your life, for your intelligence and courage. Thanks brother Allen for having her in your program.

[@sarahgood2580]

Keep fighting, Riley! I know someone born female, taking testosterone supplements, and going by a male name. I know this person believes in God. How do I approach this coworker with Biblical ideology? I'm leaving this job soon. It has been on my mind every time I'm in this workplace, for the past 15 months, that I need to tell this person that they are rebelling against God and they can not participate in the Kingdom of God. How do I do this? Are there resources readily available I can use?

[@sandylong1529]

When Christ Baptized me with His Spirit while reading Romans 8:26, in that instant, I saw Christ larger than life & a small, dark satanic force behind Him. The enemy is real but he has been defeated by the Blood shed at Calvary’s Cross! As Believers we must stand boldly in our uncompromised faith & love !

[@djr2989]

I’m not religious but I do believe in common sense. Girls should compete with girls and boys with boys. You can identify as whatever but not at the expense of others.

[@rebeccarobertson104]

Thank you Riley Gaines… you are such a strong and beautiful young lady we need more like you, and such boldness and wisdom, God is truly with you. May the Lord Bless you .😉

[@user-ej2oi6kw4d]

Amen 🎉!!

[@sandylong1529]

It was insidiously working it’s way into our society because the church failed when we did still have a voice!

[@chuck2306]

the women worked very hard to get where they were and along comes a man and takes away their achievement I am NOT a father No daughter and that would piss me off all those men who stand by and do nothing

[@chadroberts6851]

Riley you live in Nashville. Why not drive 20-30 minutes to the church and do this in Person?

[@johnnykeener3727]

But yet some people will continue to vote Democrat. Makes you wonder.

[@GreggGiblin-sy5og]

Riley, on this topic, I would distance myself from ANY religious argument at all since there isn't any good evidence for any gods. Stick to evidence and reason. Otherwise, it will boil down to one dogmatic ideology over another dogmatic ideology.

[@joshuamitchell5481]

Make 3 places. Men, women and other. This is crap

[@ShermanMays-fw8ko]

Raise Godly children keep the commandments worship God. Don’t obsess over sin. A Godly woman leaves the room when a man gets naked. I guess I’ll crawl back under my rock where this has absolutely nothing to do with me. Someone said once what do you think about transgenders using the bathroom? lol I was like I have thought some evil disgusting things but that has never once crossed my mind I am sure of it and I mean never
