Riley Gaines Says Fight Over Trans Athletes in Women's Sports Isn't Over

Riley Gaines says the Supreme Court may have settled some legal fights over transgender athletes, but she's already looking toward the next battle. The former NCAA swimmer, who advocates for trans athletes to compete according to their birth sex, weighed in on the SCOTUS ruling that upheld state laws restricting transgender athletes from girls' and women's school sports teams.

Gaines explained that the ban is great for girls in many states, but not all, so her work continues. She clarified that talk of a complete "ban" is misleading, as the ruling's effectiveness depends on location: some states already have laws, others don't. She's not backing off the issue anytime soon.

The activist promised to keep fighting in states where she believes federal law is not being followed, taking aim at leaders like California Governor Gavin Newsom. She also commented on the LGBTQ community and her relationship with President Trump.

Riley Gaines hosts "The Riley Gaines Show" on FOX News platforms, where she regularly discusses transgender athletes in sports. She believes the debate is far from over and intends to push for changes at the state level, even after federal court decisions.

Earlier, the SCOTUS dismissed challenges to laws banning transgender girls and women from competing in school and college female leagues. However, Gaines insists this is not the end but the start of a new phase. Many athletes and advocates share her stance, though opponents exist. The issue remains one of the most contentious in American society, and Gaines plans to stay at the forefront.
