Riley Gaines fights for women’s rights after swimming against mediocre men.

Riley Gaines and the Women’s Bill of Rights

Riley Gaines, a former collegiate swimmer and women’s rights activist, has joined members of Congress to introduce the Women’s Bill of Rights. This bill aims to create a safe space for women and define what it means to be a woman.

Defining What a Woman Is

Gaines spoke to members of Congress about the importance of defining what a woman is. “The public knows what a woman is, and it’s time our laws did, too,” she said. “Defining what a woman is – it shouldn’t be political.”

Gaines testified before the House Homeland Security Committee Hearing on Left-Wing Organized Violence about the trauma she and other athletes suffered by being exposed to male genitalia during the NCAA championships while sharing a locker room with a transgender swimmer. She also advocates for banning biological men from women’s sports.

Protecting Women’s Most Private and Vulnerable Spaces

Gaines believes that the Women’s Bill of Rights will help protect women’s most private and vulnerable spaces. “What this bill does, it simply defines the word woman, codifies the term,” she said. “What longevity does [the Save Women’s Sports Act] have if we can’t define the word woman? And that’s what this does; it gives longevity to bills such as the [Save Women’s Sports Act].”

Members of Congress Speak Out

Members of Congress who authored the bill explained why this legislation is important to them. “The Left has succumbed to wokeism,” Rep. Kevin Hern (R-OK) said. “It’s destroying our schools, it’s destroying our children, and it’s destroying our workplace. Woke culture tells you biology doesn’t matter, that science is wrong. There’s no difference between a man and a woman. And we all know that’s an absolute lie.”

Rep. Burgess Owens (R-UT) spoke about his disappointment in Democrats who voted against the Save Women’s Sports Act. He added history will look back on the need for the Women’s Bill of Rights. “We work towards freedom,” Owens said, “whatever it takes. This is going to be a period of time to look back on, to look back on history and realize, as we show our country, what courage looks like and what bullies and cowards look like.”
