Champion collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines shared a celebratory post on social media after trans-identifying biological male swimmer Lia Thomas lost a legal challenge to compete in women’s Olympic swimming events.
Referring to Thomas using female pronouns, Yahoo Sports reports “The CAS panel found that ‘for the time being’ she is not eligible to compete in elite competitions through World Aquatics or USA Swimming, so the policy does not apply to her.”
Gaines shared a link to the story, writing “Great news! Lia Thomas won’t be able to compete in women’s category at the Olympics or any other elite competition.”
Gaines added that “He has just lost his legal battle in Court of Arbitration for Sport ruling,” adding that it is “a victory for women and girls everywhere.”
The post has almost 3 MILLION views at time of writing.
Gaines also urged that the NCAA should “strip him [Thomas] of every award, title, and record he stole from a deserving female athlete.”
Thomas had appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland to overturn rules issued in 2022 that prohibit trans identifying males from competing in women’s swimming events unless they transitioned before the age of 12.
Gaines has made it her mission to stand up for women’s rights in sports following her experience in 2022 of being forced to share a locker room with Thomas, who at the time still had full male genitalia, and to compete against him.
In one race, Gaines tied exactly for first place with Thomas, yet the organisers told her they would be presenting the trophy to Thomas to score virtue signal points.
Thomas went on to claim the NCAA title in the women’s 500-yard freestyle event, beating two Olympic silver medal winners into second and third.
Back in March, sixteen female athletes including Gaines filed a lawsuit against the NCAA pertaining to the continued participation of transgender competitors in their respective sports in the US.
The suit charges that the NCAA has made a “radical departure from Title IX’s original meaning,” and is guilty of sex-based discrimination.
Several sports at the Olympic and world level have banned trans athletes from women’s categories. If the lawsuit succeeds this could happen at the national level.
Donald Trump has vowed to overturn Joe Biden’s recent rewrite of Title IX to include protection for transgender identifying people, calling it “crazy” that a policy that was originally enacted to protect women and girls can now be used to allow biological males to go into female locker rooms and compete in women’s sports.
In addition to the obvious upper hand a biological male clearly has over women in sports such as swimming or weight lifting, leading medical experts agree that transgender athletes have an unfair advantage over biological females even after having undergone testosterone suppressing therapy.
This has not prevented the likes of CNN suggesting otherwise.

Not just sports, can we now finally put and end to this unscientific nonsense everywhere and legislate that those born with a penis are, and always will be, male and those born with a vagina are, and always will be, female. No amount of drugs, operations or pronouns will change that scientific fact.
Well, isn’t that just too too special. Unfortunately it’s also too too LATE! He has already knocked out a deserving biological from what should have been rightfully her place at the Olympics. Hopefully, they will also officially declare that actual woman as eligible to take his place, but it’s unlikely.
This is indeed a victory for Women and common sense.
Dude can commiserate over a case bud light.
