This video speaks for itself.‼️When female athletes questioned having to share a locker room with a biological male, they were gaslit into thinking they should seek counseling. Riley Gaines shares an emotional testimony on Capitol Hill on National Girls & Women in Sports Day.

Riley’s experience is just one example of why we must do better for female athletes. No female should be forced to share a locker room with a biological male. No female athlete should lose their scholarship or place on a team for speaking out against what’s happening in sports.

Fear tactics and gaslighting female athletes at the collegiate level into being silent about their experiences are an egregious reminder that there is so much work to be done in protecting female athletes at ALL levels of competition. ⚠️ Women & girls deserve better.

@Riley_Gaines_ @SpeakerMcCarthy @macypetty0416 @YWforA Its simple math. On one side, we have one man who isn't comfortable changing in the men's room. On the other, a whole BUNCH of women who aren't comfortable with said man changing in their room. I choose the women.

@Riley_Gaines_ @SpeakerMcCarthy @macypetty0416 @YWforA Thank you @Riley_Gaines_ for speaking up. She left off how the @NCAA made the locker rooms gender neutral to allow this to happen. Any male had access to the locker room where females were changing. Shame on you @NCAA and @GeorgiaTec

@Riley_Gaines_ @SpeakerMcCarthy @macypetty0416 @YWforA I am sickened by this. I’ve been sickened for a long time, but it just keeps getting worse.

@Riley_Gaines_ @SpeakerMcCarthy @macypetty0416 @YWforA Our government is enabling and committing atrocities against our women and children. It’s a position they will regret.

@TRareMR @Riley_Gaines_ @SpeakerMcCarthy @macypetty0416 @YWforA These poor women. Gawd what a nightmare this inclusivity hell has brought us. These strong women have been traumatized by a false belief system.

@Riley_Gaines_ @SpeakerMcCarthy @macypetty0416 @YWforA Riley is so brave. What she was forced to endure is completely unacceptable.

@CassyWearsHeels @Riley_Gaines_ @SpeakerMcCarthy @macypetty0416 @YWforA What’s happening to women in sports is horrifying.

@Riley_Gaines_ @SpeakerMcCarthy @macypetty0416 @YWforA I really hate blanket statements and using rhetoric, but I feel like what’s happening with women in sports, prisons, etc, is tale as old as time, gas lighting us to make us think we are the crazy ones. “Oh those emotional women again” so sad! Erasure!
