On Monday, disgraced biological male swimmer Lia Thomas announced support for a new Joe Biden Department of “Education” (DOE) rule which would override state laws protecting female sports and allow cheaters like him to continue stealing female glory.
Former NCAA champion female swimmer ( and woman) Riley Gaines, immediately spoke out against Biden’s actions.
Politico reported that earlier this month, the DOE proposed changing Title IX to bar schools from adopting or enforcing policies that categorically bar “transgender” students from participating on teams consistent with their so-called gender identity.
Nineteen states currently have laws on the books banning biological males from competing in female sports. This new rule would allow cheaters like Thomas to continue participating in women’s sports.
These proposed rules also violate the Tenth Amendment of the Constitution, which protects states’ rights.
Thomas gloated over the DOE’s unconstitutional proposal in a disgusting video.
When competing against men in 2018, William Thomas ranked 554th in the 200-yard freestyle.

Gaines trashed the Biden regime for interfering in female sports:
Under the guise of competitive fairness? Are you really trying to say you would have won a national title against the men? Does it not break your heart to see women lose out on these opportunities?
The Biden Admins proposed bill denies science, truth, and common sense.

Gaines continued to blister the Biden regime in a subsequent tweet. She also vowed to issue instructions to her followers on how to respond.
This take is selfish and shows an utter disregard for women. The Biden Administration is actively and aggressively working to pass laws that erase decent and fair treatment for women in sports.
I’ll post a link for the comments + guidance on how to respond soon

As Fox News notes, Gaines’s comments came after the White House vowed to veto a bill that would prevent biological males from participating in women’s sports and override the proposed DOE rule.
Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) has proposed The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act to achieve this result. The House is expected to vote on the legislation this week.
The White House released the following statement which announced that Biden would veto the legislation should it reach his desk.
The Administration strongly opposes House passage of H.R. 734. For students nationwide, participating in sports and being part of a team is an important part of growing up, staying engaged in school, and learning leadership and life skills.
H.R. 734 would deny access to sports for many families by establishing an absolute ban on transgender students—even those as young as elementary schoolers—playing on a team consistent with their gender identity.
If the President were presented with H.R. 734, he would veto it.
