On Thursday, female NCAA athletes gathered outside the San Antonio NCAA convention to protest the NCAA's inclusion of biological males in women's sports. The group was led by former Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines, who competed against Lia Thomas at last year's national championships. Gaines and Thomas tied for fifth place in the 200 freestyle.
Lia Thomas was also nominated for NCAA "Woman of the Year."

The Independent Council on Women’s Sports [ICONS] sent a letter to the NCAA threatening legal action if the organization declines to change its policy on males competing in woman's sports. Marshi Smith, a co-founder of ICONS, told The Daily Signal, “We are advocating for the original intent of Title IX as written 50 years ago that ensures women are not discriminated against on the basis of sex. The Biden administration’s efforts to equate sex with gender identity undermine all sex-based protections for women.”
Males competing in women's sports is rapidly becoming the norm nationwide. In March of last year, Lia Thomas became the first biological male to win an NCAA national women's sports title. In October, Randolph Union High School in Vermont broke news for forcing female athletes to share a locker room with biological males. The school actually punished girls who complained about the policy.
\u201cNEW: @DailySignal spent this week in Randolph, Vermont, speaking to high school girls who face heavy criticism + potential punishment from their school for pushing back against a biological male using their locker room. Here's what these girls have to say for themselves:\u201d— Mary Margaret Olohan (@Mary Margaret Olohan) 1665693833
On the flip side, in 2018, wrestler Mack Beggs continued to compete against women while she took testosterone for her female-to-male transition. As you would guess, this led to her absolutely dominating the field, since she was essentially 'roided up. In 2021, Beggs spoke out about the "toll" all that winning and competing against women took on her. Boohoo.
To my fellow current and former female athletes out there, my advice is to enjoy it while you can. One day, you may just find yourself lining up against a 6'4, 275-pound bearded "woman." Women's sports were fun while they lasted!
