Riley Gaines has called on Caitlin Clark and Simone Biles to join her in speaking out against the inclusion of transgender women in women’s sports.

Gaines hasn’t been shy in her stance ever since University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas set NCAA women’s records as a transgender woman in the 2021/22 season.

Never one to be shy in making her stance known, Gaines is now hoping that women like Clark and Biles use their platform to speak out on the matter as well.

“People who I think would be critical to this movement are, of course, people like Caitlin Clark, people like Simone Biles, which I think is definitely a stretch, but these are women who have been able to shatter glass ceilings and break barriers, who are role models to young girls across the country,” Gaines told Fox News Digital.

“To have them emphatically say they [trans athletes] do not belong in women’s sports would be, the issue would be solved across all levels, like yesterday, if they were willing to do this.”

Thomas’ inclusion on women’s team has been met with backlash

There has been a lot of national talk regarding Thomas’ inclusion on the UPenn women’s swim team. That same talk extended to San Jose State University’s women’s volleyball team player Blaire Fleming, who also competes as a trans player.

Gaines filed a lawsuit against the NCAA in which she claimed SJSU’s volleyball coaches and college administrators withheld information about Fleming’s birth sex. Fleming’s teammate, Brooke Slusser, has also joined the lawsuit.

Slusser and 10 other former or current Mountain West players and SJSU associate head coach Melissa Batie-Smoose, later files a lawsuit against SJSU’s head coach, the college and the MWC.

They are looking for Fleming to be declared ineligible for the MWC tournment, SJSU’s wins to be vacated and the team to be deemed ineligible for the conference tournament.

Back in December, NCAA President Charlie Baker told a Senate committee that there were fewer than 10 trans athletes competing that he was aware of.
