Women’s rights activist and former college swimmer Riley Gaines is among 16 female athletes who have filed a lawsuit against the National Collegiate Athletics Association.

‘It’s official!’ Gaines posted on X on Thursday. ‘I’m suing the NCAA along with 15 other collegiate athletes who have lost out on titles, records, & roster spots to men posing as women The NCAA continues to explicitly violate the federal civil rights law of Title IX.’ ‘About time someone did something about it.’

Thomas’ win and participation in the event represented a violation of Title IX, which gives women the right to equal opportunity in sports.
Thomas competed as a man as recently as 2019, and her rankings greatly improved following her gender transition. She was ranked 65th when competing in the same category, the 500-yards freestyle, as a male, leading to outrage from activists and female swimmers.
Three months after Thomas’ win, World Aquatics implemented a ban on transgender women. US Swimming, by that time, had already introduced strict transgender regulations in March 2022, which critics said stopped short of a ban.

However, the NCAA continues allowing transgender athletes in women’s sports.

The suit asks the NCAA to change its rules to render biological males ineligible to compete against female athletes and that it revoke all awards handed to trans athletes in women’s competitions and give them to their female contenders.
