Supreme Court Hearing: RILEY GAINES IS PISSED OFF ABOUT LEFTISTS ERASING WOMEN
A coalition of female athletes and Republican attorneys general rallied to defend the sanctity of women's sports in Washington, D.C., on Monday ahead of the U.S. Supreme Court's consideration of the issue this week.
"While, of course, I'm excited for the opportunity for the case[s] that will be heard tomorrow, truthfully, I'm pissed off & that we've reached a point where we seemingly have an entire political party who has diminished and erased our rights as women. That's exactly what this is. Don't let them frame it any other way," said former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines during a press conference hosted by the Republican Attorneys General Association.
The moment came ahead of the Supreme Court's Tuesday oral arguments in Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J., which center around laws passed by Idaho and West Virginia that prohibit trans-identifying men from competing in women's sports. The high court will address the question of whether these statutes violate the 14th Amendment's equal protection clause, or, in West Virginia's case, Title IX.
During her remarks, Gaines blasted Democrats and other trans-supporting leftists and institutions for "hid[ing] behind words like 'compassion' and 'empathy' and 'inclusion'" to mask the harm that allowing trans-identifying men to compete in women's sports has caused female athletes. In no uncertain terms, she said, "What me and what my teammates faced was not inclusive; it was exclusive because we, as women, were excluded from participating, from competing, from calling ourselves champions."
