Female Swimmers Testify About Unfair Treatment and Safety Concerns Competing Against Transgender Athletes

Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines criticized policies allowing transgender women to compete in women's sports.
Gaines and other female swimmers felt uncomfortable sharing locker rooms with biological males and were denied opportunities and recognition.
Gaines argued that Title IX, which protects students from discrimination based on sex, was being wrongly interpreted to allow biological males in women's sports.
Gaines cited studies showing the physical advantages of biological males as evidence that it was unfair for transgender women to compete against biological women.
Gaines advocated for separate categories for transgender athletes to allow them to compete while preserving fairness and safety for biological women.
