Riley Gaines, a former NCAA swimmer who speaks out against trans athletes competing in girls and women\u2019s sports is calling on famous female athletes to join her cause.<\/p>\n

“Each day for the next week I’m going to call on well-known female athletes to take a stance on this issue because silence is complicity…we need their voices,” Gaines, who swam with the University of Kentucky, tweeted<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Her first tweet asked the world-famous tennis star sisters Serena and Venus Williams how they “feel about males competing against women.”<\/p>\n

Gaines became outspoken on preserving women\u2019s sports for biological females after tying for fifth with transgender swimmer Lia Thomas in the 200-meter NCAA championship last year.<\/p>\n

In 2013, Serena Williams, considered one of the best female tennis players of all time, told<\/u> David Letterman<\/a> that she preferred to play against women.<\/p>\n

“The men are a lot faster, they serve harder, they hit harder,” Serena said. “It’s a completely different game.”<\/p>\n

“If I were to play Andy Murray, I would lose, 6-0, 6-0, in 5 to 6 minutes, maybe 10 minutes,” Serena said the top British tennis star.<\/p>\n

“I’m with you,” Letterman said jokingly. “When it comes to tennis, I only want to play girls.”<\/p>\n

Gaines recently told Fox News that allowing biological men into women\u2019s sports “doesn\u2019t work.”<\/p>\n

“I think this will get worse before it gets better,” Gaines said<\/a>. “How many girls have to be injured playing against a male, how many girls have to lose out on scholarships and trophies and titles? How many girls have to feel violated in the locker room?”<\/p>\n

Transgender athletes have proven successful in women\u2019s sports including. CeC\u00e9 Telfer<\/u><\/a> becoming the first transgender athlete to win an NCAA title in the Division II Track and Field 400-meter hurdle in 2019. Thomas won the 500-yard freestyle at the 2022 NCAA championship. Last week, trans cyclist Austin Killips<\/a> placed first for the Tour of Gila, competing in the women\u2019s category.<\/p>\n

Gaines called on women and girls to boycott competing against trans athletes to raise awareness and ensure their sports are only for biological females.<\/p>\n

“We have to have girls who, when the whistle blows, they don’t run, they don’t swim. They stand up on the block and they don’t go,” said Gaines.<\/p>\n

“It’s unfortunate, of course, to ask women to make that sacrifice because these are their sports, they should be entitled to playing,” she added. “They shouldn’t have to give up anything to get changes.”<\/p>\n

The Williams sisters did not immediately return a request for comment.<\/p>\n
