“And so upon tying, we go behind the awards podium where the NCAA officials hand you your trophy and you’re marched out and you’re named an all-American. But we go back there and the official looks at me and Lia, we’re about this far apart [indicates with her hands that they were close to each other] and he says great job. You guys tied—Lia gets the trophy.

“And so I look at him and. I say OK, I understand we tied, and I understand there’s one trophy, but what’s your, what’s your thought process as to why Lia gets the trophy? And he said, well, for photo purposes, Lia has to have the trophy so you can pose with this one. But you go home empty-handed. Lia takes the trophy. [Boos.]

“And so that’s truly, of course, I knew what was happening was wrong in regards to our unfair, or the disadvantages that we were at, and I knew what was happening in regards to the locker room being forced to undress in front of a fully intact biological male.

“I knew that was wrong. But when the NCAA reduced everything that I had dedicated my entire life to, I’ve been swimming since I was four years old. Everything that I have dedicated my entire life to. I was reduced to a photo op to validate the identity of a male and that’s when I decided to take a public stance and really just standing in the truth.”

In a Washington Examiner interview she said:

““There’s this systemic eradication of women that is being attempted by the Left, and it’s more than sports,” Gaines said. “They’re changing definitions. They’re changing terms that are specific to women. … These large organizations and large companies, these woke companies, continually make the claims that men make the best women.””

After the pro leagues went woke and forced their players to get the experimental shots, I refuse to give them my eyes, to watch them. Being a live-long sports player and fan, it wasn’t easy. (Getting rid of cable sure helped.) I thought college sports would be okay, but now…

Okay, maybe I am just a feisty female, but I would have refused to be in the photo. My answer to the official would have had to be deleted. And I normally do not cuss. But this is a load of garbage!! I personally believe that all the "born at birth" females should just walk out and refuse to compete with fully in-tack males or neutered tranny's. What happened to this country's backbone? Is it gone?

Why didn't she just punch the guy pretending to be a girl? stop playing nice

Until the females that compete stop referring to these men that are wearing womanhood like a Halloween costume, as "she" and "her", and even competing with them, my sympathy for them is strained. I also refuse to use the terms "biological male/biological female". The terms male and female need no qualifier. It's a leftist language trick that many people have fallen right into.

That would be my first inclination, however since this is all about her being the "bad guy" and him being the "good guy", they would have hit her with an assault charge.....and he would have walked away smelling like a daisy. The females should just refuse to compete against the man pretending to be a woman. Just don't play their game any more!

It is a start.

I have grown up hearing that women can be just as good as men. Now technology has advance that male can superficially look like a female, and female can superficially look like a male. who needs science when by decree a judge can state the opposite from science. (xy fetuses develop differently from xx fetuses: the bone structure is different (forensic science can determine a male skeleton from female skeleton), blood circulation is different the female from the male (other wise the female couldn't carry a baby to term), nerves are different in male and female (reaction times and sexual enjoyment (male surgically changed to look like female can never fully enjoy sex because the nerves are not there, female surgically changed to look like male can never fully enjoy sex because the nerves are not there.))

now because of politics and wickedness the phrase has changed to men can be just as good as women and sign up for women sports.

It is a start, the change to righteousness has to start somewhere. And realizing that male and female are not the same and can not do the same things is a start.
