Riley Gaines Warns Conservative Infighting Could Hand Power Back to the Radical Left

By: Riley Gaines | Commentary, Fox News Despite our solid advantage in the political arena, some on the right seem to have already forgotten who the real adversary is. That's a major mistake The week before the 2025 election, the Democratic Party’s undisputed leader, New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, got a bit sidetracked while campaigning on the trail for the radical Zohran Mamdani in New York City.  After simply pointing out how destructive the new radical left is shaping up to be, as many did, she decided to rage-tweet at me for my well-known stance that men shouldn’t be in women’s sports. Her claim was essentially that if I just swam faster in college, I would have beaten the man I was swimming against. https://twitter....

Riley Gaines lawsuit advances as NCAA ordered to produce evidence

By Greg Piper | Just the News Female athletes "actually allege a clearer connection" between the NCAA and Defense Department funding for concussion research, making the NCAA subject to Title IX, than the precedents they rely on, judge says. The NCAA has a "Grand Alliance" with the Department of Defense to study concussions among "more than 53,000 student athletes and service academy cadets & midshipmen." That relationship could knock the student athletics nonprofit into a far-reaching settlement with female athletes who claim it's bound by Title IX via the DoD and committed sex discrimination against them by letting males compete in their sports on the basis of gender identity. A federal judge refused to wholly dismiss the lawsuit against the NCAA by 19 ...

NYT smears Riley Gaines and XX-XY Athletics while ignoring fairness in women’s sports

By Jennifer Sey | Commentary, Sey Everything Substack It is petty and biased from the lede. And it just gets worse throughout. Yesterday there was a lot going on in the news so you may have missed the long form article about Riley Gaines in The New York Times. Read it if you must, but only to stay motivated to continue the fight for biological reality. It’s a 4000 word takedown of Gaines and the entire movement to protect women’s sports. It is so dishonest and petty. Look, we’re not asking for biased treatment in our direction. How about straight up the middle? You know, reporting? But that seems to be beyond Ruth Graham’s capability. I’ll admit, it annoys me because I’m in it. And I recorded the interview so I know what I said and she leaves out anything I said tha...

UPenn caves to Title IX truth: Women’s sports get apology, restored records

By Jackson Thompson | Fox News School will issue public statement adopting biology-based definitions and apologize to female swimmers affected by trans athlete FIRST ON FOX: The U.S. Department of Education announced Tuesday that the University of Pennsylvania has agreed to a resolution with President Donald Trump's administration to keep biological male trans athletes out of women's sports, in a statement provided to Fox News Digital. The department previously launched an investigation into UPenn on Feb. 6 for Title IX violations that occurred in the swimming program. Trans athlete Lia Thomas competed for the women's team in the 2021-22 season, after previously competing for the men's team.  "Today, the U.S. Department of Education (the Department) announced the...

Sturm: Wisdom gained after debating a Pronoun Policy as a theater company board member

By Melanie Sturm | Commentary, Substack What would you do if the state called you an unfit parent — not for hurting your child, but for refusing to pretend your daughter is your son? That’s the reality Colorado families could soon face under a bill advancing in the state legislature. And in Maryland, the Supreme Court is now weighing whether parents have any say at all over LGBTQ content taught in elementary school. Policies once dismissed as fringe are ubiquitous. Silence shouldn’t become complicity. Two summers ago, I saw where this leads — not while in a courtroom, but around a boardroom table. I’d served on the board of a beloved theater company for over two decades. Then one day, a concerned parent forwarded me the children’s program Pronoun Policy, which required kids ...
