Riley had 0 intention of ever going into politics. She wanted to go to dental school!
She put her own career aside because she wasn’t going to let men be the future of female athletics.
That’s sacrificial leadership and everyone should take notes.
Update: they are extremely hostile and spitting on people. We are finding a safe exit
Please join us in praying for these individuals that they find hope in Jesus Christ! Life does not have to be this way
Not scared, just don’t feel like getting spit on :) we won’t be silent
One day you’re a college freshman testifying on a girls sports bill from your dorm room
Before you know it, you’re on a bus tour with olympians and freedom fighters?!?

#TakeBackTitleIX
51 years ago, men dominated sports.
Title IX protected female opportunity with 5 critical words— “on the basis of sex”
Without sex based protections, women’s sports wouldn’t exist.
And we won’t go back.
Happy birthday

Yesterday we couldn’t leave the event because the protestors were unhinged and spitting on people.
I had a flight to catch and was frankly really frustrated…
Then God reminded me of a valuable lesson I want to share:
It’s ONLY by the grace of God I am able to see the truth.
NCAA volleyball player here 👋🏼
This wave of severe injuries in girls volleyball appears odd, it isn’t football. But even though the ball is soft and the girls are separated by a net, we’ve seen injuries like this from coast to coast.
The common denominator? Male participation.
0 democrats voted to protect women and girls in sports today.
I am very thankful conservatives continue to carry the torch for women’s rights. It was a great day! Thank you
@RepGregSteube
for your steadfast leadership on this issue!
From a current female athlete:
This week the House will vote whether feelings and ideology can rob the safety and equal opportunity of millions of female athletes like me.
Watch closely.
Life Magazine, 1965:
“The birth of a human life really occurs at the moment the mother’s egg cell is fertilized by one of the father’s sperm cells”
Media changes, the reality of preborn life doesn’t
No matter where a person lives or how much money they have, women—not politicians—should be able to make decisions about their own lives. That includes abortion care and miscarriage management.
Californians should vote YES on Prop. 1 to protect fundamental rights.

This is your reminder to never take female athletics for granted…
Dangerous ideology is robbing girls of their chance to play.
Let’s continue the fight for fair competition and equal opportunity for all—
girls sports for girls only 💪🏼

Someone erased your name, not because they worked harder than you, but because of their sex and the biological advantages that come with it.

One must ask why they are so committed to stripping female opportunity…

Amazing. Keep the pressure on President Baker and the NCAA!

Women are being robbed of equal opportunity because of their sex and the President hides behind “it’s complicated.”

@Riley_Gaines_
has been clear, this isn’t about a trophy. NCAA has drained the title of value anyway.
She stepped out to defend womanhood and speak truth into a culture of darkness and confusion. If you can’t recognize that, you’re part of the problem.
I’m 6’1. When I sit in an airplane my knees touch the seat in front of me
The kid (14) in front of me just leaned his seat ALL the way back (yes, in my lap) and had his mother complain to me that my knees are bothering him
Society has lost all decency
Just hand delivered our demand letter on behalf of female athletes and the women’s sports coalition.
Linda Livingstone, Chair of the NCAA Board of Governors, wouldn’t even make eye contact with me.
@NCAA
The NCAA harmed and humiliated a host of female athletes.
We can expect them to continue this abhorrent discrimination til the day they have to pay for it. Because of these brave athletes, that time is now.
I’ll be first to admit I was far too passive when entering this conversation.
I spoke their language of delusion which only prompted further confusion. That is not loving nor does it further the message of truth.
Stand firm!
Yesterday Nebraska held the highest attended women’s sports event in history AND the Gov. signed the Women’s Bill of Rights…
We’re moving in the right direction, ladies and gentlemen 👏🏼👏🏼
In a society obsessed with mocking female athletes, THANK YOU to those who uplift and encourage femininity in athletics.
There is a place for us on the court.

When speaking on the girls’ sports issue I typically include “I’m a current NCAA athlete”
But what does that really mean? It means I get up at 4AM for practices, it means I travel almost every week in season, it means I have to miss my godbrothers wedding this weekend, it means
Girls basketballs are smaller.
Girls volleyball nets are lower.
Girls hurdlers are shorter.
These specifications are catered to the female body… of course a man will dominate if he can bypass the rules.

Male athlete Lazuli Clark of KIPP Academy excels as a 3-sport athlete in girls' sports:
🏀 Girls' basketball: playoff bound
🏐 Girls' volleyball: League All-Star led the team in kills, aces & digs
👟 Girls' track & field: set meet records in 400m hurdles & shot put at the Lynn

When I got here I was a timid girl with 0 interest in working in policy. In fact, all I wanted to do was work at Disney World.
Man, it’s so cool to see the Lord work!
Don’t forget reflect on His goodness in your life too :)
Mr. Baker, I was one of those club volleyball girls. During that time, I was forced to play against a boy in a girls league.
Today marks a historic day for women’s volleyball. Please “water” this growth. Don’t kill it by allowing men to steal the roster spots of female athletes
"I don't think people realize how explosive the growth in this sport is."

In the last month:

-Coach cancelled games
-University President took official stance
all for the protection of female athletes. These officials aren’t just listening, they too are speaking up for change.
THE TIDES ARE TURNING!!!
I played against a trans-identifying boy athlete while playing for an NC team. The NC leg sat on their hands saying it was a non-issue, then
@paytonmcnabb_
was seriously injured playing another boy.
It’s far past time to protect your girls, NC!
Thank you

Big step forward for HB 574 “Fairness In Women’s Sports Act” today, for which I am a primary sponsor. The bill passed the Senate Rules Committee, setting-up the bill to be heard on the Senate floor.
HB 574 is a rational, common-sense bill that requires biological men to compete
Call me transphobic. I don’t care.
If I walked in a women’s restroom and a grown man is standing there- you can bet your bottom dollar I’d be frightened.

How Rapinoe ended her career wasn’t representative of her athletic achievements…

Asking someone to play by the rules is not discrimination-
letting a boy steal a roster spot/scholarship/championship that is specifically designated for a female athlete is.
‼️THIS is what bravery looks like. In the face of adversity & unfairness in the sport that these athletes love, they’re standing up for what is RIGHT for ALL women.
Swimmers on Roanoke College Women’s team call on the NCAA to protect women.🚨As they break their silence today
Reminder that men’s volleyball nets are over 7 inches higher than women’s volleyball nets…
Do you think that is to affirm an identity? No. It’s to acknowledge basic biology in pursuit of equal opportunity.
There is no excuse for ANY woman to lose a roster spot or championship to man ever again.

Nearly 70% of U.S. adults say that trans athletes should only be allowed to compete on sports teams that correspond with the sex they were assigned at birth, according to a new report from Gallup.
“Female athletes have defended their privilege to play in female-only leagues, yet their efforts are met with resistance from the president and various state governors who promise to veto such protections.”

Today the Board of Education passed its unconstitutional and harmful proposal banning trans girls from school sports by a vote of 7-1 (with 1 member abstaining).
Female athletics isn’t all pretty braids and dance parties…
It’s grit and grind, sweat and tears
Today was a really hard day but I’m getting up at 4:15AM tomorrow to do it all again. This is teaching resiliency and it will pay off for the rest of our lives.

@NC_Governor
vetoed keeping girls sports for girls only but says we’re the ones waging “political culture wars”
I can promise you Gov Cooper these female athletes aren’t in it for the politics. They just want fair competition. And you just told them “no.”
Democrats are willing to erase women & sacrifice years of female progress in order to allow biological males to play women’s sports.
It’s sickening.

Megan Rapinoe headlines a group of hundreds of athletes and academics who think the NCAA would be on the wrong side of history if it were to ban transgender athletes, biological men, from competing against women.
Ridiculous, yet oh so predictable.
