Riley Gaines celebrates House move to protect women's and girls' sports

The article from RSBN discusses Riley Gaines, a former NCAA swimmer, celebrating a legislative move by the U.S. House of Representatives to protect women's and girls' sports. The House passed the "Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act" with a vote of 219-203, aiming to ensure that only biological females can compete in sports designated for women and girls at schools receiving federal funding. This act seeks to amend Title IX to define sex based on an individual's reproductive biology and genetics at birth. Gaines, who has been vocal about her experiences competing against transgender swimmer Lia Thomas, expressed her support for the bill, emphasizing the importance of fairness and safety in women's sports. She highlighted the potential negative impacts on female athletes if transgender women were allowed to compete, including loss of opportunities and privacy concerns. The article also notes opposition from Democrats and the White House, who argue that the bill discriminates against transgender individuals.
