Riley Gaines<\/a> responded to a social media post from a Nebraska state lawmaker on Monday who criticized the former NCAA swim star over her speech about fairness in women\u2019s sports.<\/p>\n

Gaines spoke at an event organized by Patriot Productions, according to the Lincoln Journal Star. She appeared with Cornhuskers softball<\/a> player Jordy Bahl, Gov. Jim Pillen, U.S. Sen. Pete Ricketts and state Sen. Kathleen Kauth. The state lawmaker introduced a bill to keep transgender athletes from participating in sports against the gender they identify as along with a bathroom and locker room component.<\/p>\n

Sen. Megan Hunt, I-Omaha, offered her take on X, formerly known as Twitter.<\/p>\n

“It can be hard, when we’re young, to not win a trophy sometimes. But we grow up and realize it\u2019s not the end of the world and we don’t need to turn that loss into our entire personality,” Hunt wrote in response to the Lincoln Journal Star\u2019s post.<\/p>\n

Gaines, who is the host of OutKick\u2019s\u00a0“Gaines for Girls Podcast,”<\/a> responded to Hunt\u2019s critique.<\/p>\n

“Imagine missing the point this much lol,” she wrote.<\/p>\n

“It’s not about the trophy & never has been. That trophy is meaningless & devalued entirely. It’s about the message it sends to us. & it’s the same message you’re sending… that we don’t matter.<\/p>\n

“Nebraska girls deserve better than you.”<\/p>\n

Hunt didn\u2019t respond to Gaines but posted a response to a separate X user who said, “This is extremely disrespectful and reveals you as either an actual idiot or someone who is prepared to make herself look that way in service of her belief system. Women and girls’ sports are to celebrate female excellence, not to give mediocre men something to do.”<\/p>\n

Hunt wrote: “If it seems disrespectful, it\u2019s because I don\u2019t respect people who are part of this discriminatory movement to push LGBTQ ppl back into the shadows. There\u2019s no \u2018trans debate\u2019 or \u2018trans question.\u2019 Theres just trans people and people who don\u2019t want there to be trans people.”<\/p>\n

Gaines, the\u00a0director of the Riley Gaines Center<\/a>\u00a0at the Leadership Institute, has talked about her experience at the 2022 NCAA Championships at length and how she was forced to get changed in the same locker room as transgender swimmer Lia Thomas.<\/p>\n

Gaines has said the entire experience made her uncomfortable.<\/p>\n

She recently told the Christian Post she\u2019s not anti-trans but “pro-woman.”<\/p>\n

“This is not anti-anything. It’s not anti-trans; no one is being banned from playing sports. That’s a false narrative being pushed,” she said.<\/p>\n

“This is pro-woman, it’s pro-fairness, it’s pro-truth, but it’s not anti-anything. I’ll be the first one to say I think everyone should play sports regardless of who you are, your sexual orientation, your gender identity, your race, whatever sport you play, everyone should play sports. I actually encourage people to play sports.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
