On Fox Business, Riley Gaines Urges Donald Trump to Make Trans Exclusion Implementation of Title IX a ‘Campaign Issue’

STUART VARNEY (HOST): The administration just released a series of changes to Title IX. The critics are there, they say these new guidelines undermine decades of progress on protections – decades of progress and protections for women and girls, or so they say. Riley Gaines joins me. Okay Riley, let’s get straight to it, good to have you back. What changed in Title IX and what does that mean for women’s sports?

RILEY GAINES (OUTKICK HOST): Good to see you, thanks so much for having me on Stuart. What the Biden administration has done is now – obviously Title IX, the federal civil rights law that prevented discrimination on the basis of sex. Keep in mind that when this was implemented in 1972, the legislation was only 37 words. The Biden administration has rewritten Title IX, which equates sex with gender identity, in a 1,577-page proposal. By equating sex and gender identity, this now means that men would have full access to bathrooms, locker rooms and locker rooms on college campuses. Men would take academic and athletic scholarships from women. Men have the potential to be housed in dormitories together with women. Your speech is now mandatory, whether you are a faculty, a professor or a student, you are now required to use preferred pronouns and if you don’t, or if you – a 17 year old girl randomly housed with a man in your dorm room – if you go to your administration and express your discomfort with this, under this new rewrite you would be guilty and charged with sexual harassment. Not the man parading around your locker room — no, for President Biden that is considered courageous or stunning or inspiring or whatever other virtuous word he wants to use — but you calling everything that is grounds for sexual harassment.

VARNEY: You know, Riley, it’s very hard to believe that this is happening in America today. It’s just hard to believe.

…

GAINES: We need a new administration in the White House. This is a public call for President Trump to make it a campaign issue to promise to change course from what the Biden administration has done and ultimately implement Title IX as originally intended.
