EXPOSED AND EXPLOITED’: Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines gave a harrowing recollection of her experience being forced to share a locker room with a transgender competitor during her collegiate career.

.Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines recently shared a personal and emotional account of her experience being required to share a locker room with transgender athlete Lia Thomas during her collegiate swimming career.

Gaines, a vocal advocate for protecting women’s sports, has expressed her discomfort with the situation, stating that she and other female athletes felt “exposed and exploited” by having to undress in front of a biological male.

In her testimony, Gaines described the experience as both unsettling and unfair, as she believes it compromises the privacy and safety of female athletes. She has spoken out against the inclusion of transgender women in female sports, arguing that it creates an uneven playing field and infringes on the rights of cisgender women.
