EXCLUSIVE — Riley Gaines has accused President Joe Biden of abandoning women for supporting transgender people in women’s sports and in the women’s locker room.
As the spokeswoman for the Independent Women’s Forum, Gaines speaks at college campuses across the country, fighting for the right to privacy in the locker room.
BIDEN TAKES A SIDE IN THE CULTURE WARS WITH TRANSGENDER SPORTS PUSH
Biden recently made his opinion clear on the issue when he met polarizing influencer Dylan Mulvaney to discuss transgender issues in America.
“I feel very strongly [transgender people] should have every single solitary right,” Biden said, “including the use of [their] gender identity bathrooms in public.”
Gaines, a 12-time NCAA All-American swimmer, says it’s absolutely discouraging to know your own president is against your cause.
“Truly, the feeling is betrayal, betrayal from the people who are supposed to protect you from this ever happening who aren’t,” Gaines said. “In my case, at the NCAA championship, our coaches, our parents, even the NCAA itself, people with political power, why was no one protecting us?”

Gaines said Biden will never understand what it feels like to be female in an environment where you’re undressing in front of the opposite sex.
“It is discouraging for me as a female to know a male is trying to take away our rights,” Gaines said. “President Biden, who’s leading the country, is saying he’s unwilling to protect your daughters, protect any girl or woman in an area of vulnerability.”
Gaines has expressed the vulnerability she felt before a meet having to get ready in front of biological man Lia Thomas in the locker room.
“You have someone with male genitalia pulling his pants down, watching you as you undress. It throws you off,” said Gaines.
RILEY GAINES EXPLAINS WHY SHE SPOKE OUT AGAINST LIA THOMAS AND TRANS ATHLETES
Thomas , who identifies as a transgender woman, swam for the University of Pennsylvania. Thomas and Gaines swam against each other and tied, but the NCAA told Gaines she could not hold the trophy because they wanted Thomas to hold it for the photo op.
“In that moment, I felt like we, as women, were being mocked. We were being reduced to a photo op to validate the feelings and the identity of a man,” said Gaines.
The protection of transgender women in sports has the full support of the Biden administration. The president is trying to pass a proposal allowing school-aged transgender athletes to play on the sports team of their gender identity by rewriting Title IX .
“In the disguise of progress or being progressive, they’re doing the exact opposite,” Gaines said. “Which proves it’s not progress. This is regressive. They’re now actively working to take away those sex-based rights.”
Gaines, meanwhile, expressed her dismay at companies using transgender TikTok star Mulvaney to promote their female products, calling it a mockery and degrading to women.
“I find it offensive. It’s a mockery!” Gaines exclaimed. “If you watch this promo video of Dylan with the Nike apparel, he’s doing these jumping jacks and stretching, indicating that’s how women look when we work out. That’s not what we look like!”
Mulvaney posted a series of pictures on Instagram modeling a Nike sports bra and legging set. Athletes came out against the sportswear company Nike, leading to a bra-burning challenge on TikTok.

The influencer also received an endorsement deal from Tampax, with Mulvaney even admitting the sponsorship was a surprise. Critics lashed out when the feminine product company sent Mulvaney a promotional package while there was a shortage of tampons and pads. After the criticism, Mulvaney made a video about handing out all the tampons.
“It just seems as if they’re not understanding their true demographic, the people who they are there to support and provide for,” Gaines said. “Sports bras go to women. Tampons, of course, are provided for women. They are missing their mark big time here, and it’s degrading women in the process.”
