Gaines emphasized that women are fighting for their right to privacy, safety, and fairness, as well as the essence of Title IX rights.<\/p>\n<h3>Half-Support is Not Enough<\/h3>\n<p>According to Thomas, the women&#8217;s swim team at the University of Pennsylvania only offers &#8220;half-support&#8221; to transgender athletes. The team claims to respect Thomas&#8217;s identity as a trans woman but doesn&#8217;t think it&#8217;s fair for her to compete. Thomas argues that this kind of half-support is not enough and that the team is using feminism to push transphobic beliefs.<\/p>\n<h3>Rejecting Science?<\/h3>\n<p>Thomas and Schuyler Bailar, another transgender athlete who hosts the Dear Schuyler podcast, claim that people who argue biological men shouldn&#8217;t compete in women&#8217;s sports are rejecting science. They compare this argument to past arguments that it wasn&#8217;t fair for black women to compete in white women&#8217;s sports because they looked different.<\/p>\n<h3>Join the Fight for Women&#8217;s Rights<\/h3>\n<p>Riley Gaines encourages women across America to join her in the fight for the right to be a woman. She emphasizes that women are fighting for their right to privacy, safety, and fairness, as well as the essence of Title IX rights. Gaines believes that allowing biological men to compete in women&#8217;s sports is selfish and wrong.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/transgender\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Transgender<\/a> swimmer Lia Thomas accuses the University of Pennsylvania&#8217;s women&#8217;s swim team of failing to provide proper support.<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/riley-gaines-slams-biden-proposed-title-ix-changes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WATCH: GAINES SLAMS BIDEN\u2019S PROPOSED TITLE IX CHANGES: \u2018WE\u2019RE DENYING OBJECTIVE TRUTH\u2019<\/a><\/b><\/li>\n<li><b><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">CLICK HERE FOR MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transgender swimmer Lia Thomas bashed the University of Pennsylvania&#8217;s women&#8217;s swim team, accusing it of failing to provide proper support.
