Female Athlete Accuses Transgender Swimmer Lia Thomas of Cheating and Stealing Title

By Jeff Charles
March 27, 2023

Riley Gaines, a former competitor of Lia Thomas in the 2022 NCAA swimming championships, took to Twitter on Sunday to criticize the transgender swimmer. Gaines wrote that Thomas was not a “brave, courageous woman who EARNED a national title,” but instead described herhim as an “arrogant cheat who STOLE a national title from a hardworking, deserving woman.” Gaines placed responsibility for the situation on the NCAA.

The comments came in response to a segment on ESPN honoring Thomas as part of Women’s History Month. Gaines, who is a spokeswoman for the Independent Women’s Forum, has previously spoken out against Thomas and said she feels an obligation to do so because no one else will.

In an interview with the Washington Examiner in February, Gaines said, “That’s when I realized it’s my duty as a female athlete who experienced this injustice to really use my voice and my platform to advocate for those female athletes who are emotionally blackmailed and gaslit into silence.”

The controversy over Thomas’ participation in women’s sports comes as the GOP-led House announced plans to take up laws prohibiting biological males from competing in women’s sports. The NCAA has yet to issue a statement in response to Gaines’ comments.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Good for her!

About time, and I hope the rest of those women so cheated have the gumption to rise up against this nonsense.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
