Over a dozen female athletes including Riley Gaines and Réka György are suing the National Collegiate Athletics Association for letting transgender athletes compete against them and use female locker rooms in college sports.
At the center of the class-action lawsuit is Lia Thomas, the trans athlete who dominated the 2022 NCAA Swimming Championships while a student at the University of Pennsylvania. The suit states that both the NCAA and Georgia Tech, which hosted the event, knowingly violated Title IX, the federal statute that guarantees equal opportunity for men and women in college education and sports.
In an exclusive first interview, Free Press reporter Francesca Block sits down with the plaintiffs.

All these labels--racist, homophobe, transphobe, etc--have no real meaning anymore. They are applied ad nauseam to silence any differing opinion, without the actual definition of the words even being considered. I appreciate Riley and Reka speaking up. It's sad that the simple act of telling the truth is now considered revolutionary and courageous, as telling lies and gaslighting has become the norm.

I'm trans and I totally support Riley and all these women athletes. I've been on hrt for years and I would still have an unfair advantage over a natal female of a similar age and level of training. It's more than just hormones and it's totally inappropriate for anyone with male genitalia to be in a women's locker room. People like Lia are giving trans people a bad name.

It is a form of sexual abuse to be naked in a female's locker room with a biological male present. Sport is about achievement + competition and in team sports its also about socializing and forming life long friendships- on away trips so very much is shared over girl bonding sessions and is really special. Being forced to have a male in a female sports team completely changes the dynamics. What this demonstrates is the utter failure of adults to lead and stand up for the girls, from coaches to heads of sporting departments and more. These young women show what leadership and moral conviction and courage are.

For sporting bodies and anyone on the other side of the debate prepared to concede anything, this aspect of including men In women‘s sports is totally ignored. Even fairness is relegated to second place after safety. All three matter equally.

Being against trans males competing alongside women in sports is NOT transphobic. It means you are defending women and are aligned with the reality of biology. In fact if you don't have fear nor hate then that label doesn't apply to you, and if you just get called that it means the other side doesn't have any good arguments against defending women and respecting biology. It's high time we realize this is a cultural war, and there are people willing to subdue and harass women to get what they want.

It only got this far because people were afraid of their jobs if they said "NO" to this nonsense. So who's responsible at the top level for pushing this? I think it's reprehensible that they'd vote for ideology over scientific facts, and then expect everyone, including athletes and fans, to sort of just not notice the problem with the elephant in the room. And then of course, did the female athletes ever have a say, how did they feel about having a male compete and change with them? Apparently they weren't asked! They were told! You cannot simply paint the square the same color of the circle and then claim that square is a circle while dismissing and bullying everyone who argues against it. We all see what it is. I'm surprised this lawsuit hasn't happened sooner. Hold the leaders and people who pushed this accountable.

My guess is, that this is insurance company and lawyer driven. Why? Because if you're an institution, and some boy says, "Hey, I'm a girl now." In today's woke world, if you say, "nice try pal." That kid's parents will get a free attorney an sue your a$$ off. Why? Because attorney's that take on this kind of filth, are working on a contingency, and institutions have incredibly deep pockets. So poof, the kid and his parents lawyer up for free. A letter or suit is sent, to which the institution now has to shell out money, to respond too. So instantly, here comes the money suck from the institution. And what does the institution do, along with being forced to formerly respond (and lawyer up)? They call their insurance provider. And what does the insurance provide, AND their attorney say? "Make 'em an offer, and see if they'll go away, because that's waaaaaaay cheaper than fighting them, which is going to get drug out for years, at a tremendous expense, and if it goes before a jury of today's woke citizens, you'll have a 95% chance of losing, and paying out even more money. Offer 'em 20-grand and see if they bite. We'll go as high as $100." So guess what happens with little Bobby. He get's to be a boy in the girls locker room, and beat the crap out of the girls in all their sports, and be given trophies, and honored for all his accomplishments, and being on magazine covers, and proclaimed female athlete of the year. And all the females and their parents are told to get over it, and get with modern times, and quit being anti and phobe. And because those families don't get a free attorney, guess what happens.

I've been wondering why, all this time, I hadn't heard barely anything from the actual female athletes that are being affected by all of this. I recognize that ya'll have probably been scared to speak up considering how much they can harm your careers if you did so. I'm glad ya'll are finally speaking up and hitting them where it hurts... in the courtroom!

They are afraid of blowback. If they are still on the team, they could lose scholarships, etc for speaking out. When Thomas was swimming, something like 15 swimmers on the team sent a letter to the school and they told them where to get counseling if they were uncomfortable seeing a penis in the locker room.

When the starting gun goes off the women should just stand there let the boy win.

Finally! So happy to have women standing up for themselves and fighting back with a lawsuit. As a retired elementary school teacher and lesbian, I can confirm that many LGB people support your fight and stand with you. I strongly object with this host referring to Thomas as a she. He is a biological male and his correct designation is as a trans identified male. Trans women are men. That's why women must take back the terms "woman" and "women" and stop allowing these males to incorporate them into their titles and appropriate them as part of their identity - even if it means taking their fight all the way to the Supreme Court to have it enshrined as law that only adult biological human females can used these terms.
