At NCAA Convention, Athletes Oppose Trans Intrusion In Women’s Sports
“I will not stand by as they allow biological men to take over female athletics”
The NCAA convention in San Antonio had some unwelcome publicity on Thursday, in the form of dozens of protesters speaking out against the collegiate athletics organization’s insertion of transgender athletes into women’s competition.
Among the demonstrators against NCAA’s policies was former Kentucky Wildcat swimmer Riley Gaines, who had to compete against transgender athlete Lia Thomas, the University of Pennsylvania Quaker who was crowned the NCAA women’s champion in the 500-yard freestyle.
“Today, we intend to personally tell the NCAA to stop discriminating against female athletes by handing them a petition that we have garnered nearly 10,000 signatures on in just a couple of days,” said Gaines.
The NCAA has allowed transgender athletes to cross gender lines since 2010. Full implementation of a 2022 update of that policy was set to happen by August 2023, but, amid growing pushback from women and those with empathize with them, the NCAA Board of Governors his week opted to delay it to the 2023-24 academic year “to address operational considerations.”

It’s about time women spoke out about this! The sports federations can create a transgender category and have transgender compete agains’t transgender.
Agreed, K2. It’s shocking that women have not pushed back much harder against this madness. If you make a pass at a women in the workplace you’re putting your job on the line, but men are permitted, even encouraged, to steal the glory of women in every area of physical competition. It’s obscene! Women should feel ashamed that they didn’t fight harder for their champions, those women and girls who fought so hard to become champions, and who were robbed by woke virtue signallers and male charlatans.
Absolutely about time…They have ALL the Power….Just refuse to compete en mass
“Just refuse to compete en mass” That is the solution. If women threaten a complete boycott it is game over. What type of competition would there be for the few transgenders in any particular sport much less fielding a team?
