She argued that Williams was not a college athlete and that Williams wasn&#8217;t concerned about the situation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She is not and never was a collegiate athlete, so her saying \u2018we&#8217; are not worried about men competing against women is disingenuous and displays her utter disregard for female athletes and really women in general,&#8221; Gaines said. &#8220;Why don&#8217;t you ask me, an actual female collegiate athlete who has experienced competing against a male, how I and my teammates and athletes around the country felt about giving up our awards and our titles and our scholarships to men.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We were the ones who practiced day in and day out, making physical, mental, and social sacrifices,&#8221; Gaines said that they had made all those sacrifices, only to be taken away by someone with a clear biological advantage.<\/p>\n<p>Gaines went on to talk about being forced to change in the same room as transgender athlete Lia Thomas, who was still biologically male and fully intact \u2014 and being bullied into silence by the colleges and the NCAA in order to protect Thomas&#8217; claimed identity.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;@BeingTdubs,\u00a0I hope you see this and realize how your comment comes off to women who have worked their whole lives to excel in their sports.
