You’re tuning into *Black and White Sports* on YouTube, where we bring you the unfiltered truth about sports. The fight to keep biological males out of women’s sports continues, despite an executive order from former President Trump that bans them from competing in female categories. However, some states, like Maine, refuse to comply and are even willing to sacrifice federal funding over this issue.
One of the most vocal advocates against male participation in women’s sports has been Riley Gaines. A former NCAA swimmer, Gaines was forced to compete against transgender athlete Lia Thomas a few years ago at the NCAA Championships. Despite tying with Lia Thomas in a race, the trophy was given to Thomas, leaving Gaines empty-handed. This situation was seen as a deliberate move to push an agenda, placing transgender inclusion above fairness in women’s sports.
Since then, the presence of male-born athletes in female sports has increased, leading to concerns about fairness and integrity. While Gaines continues to speak out, some of the biggest names in women’s sports—like WNBA star Caitlin Clark and Olympic gymnast Simone Biles—have remained silent on the issue.

Riley Gaines is now calling them out for their lack of response. She believes that if high-profile athletes like Clark and Biles took a stand, it would bring more attention to the issue and carry significant weight. However, so far, neither has publicly addressed the controversy.
Clark, who is entering the WNBA, may have more to lose by speaking out, as the league has embraced progressive social movements, including transgender inclusion in sports. On the other hand, Biles, widely considered the greatest gymnast of all time, may not be as directly affected. Still, her influence in women’s sports is undeniable.
In a recent interview with *Fox News Digital*, Gaines stated:
*”People who I think can be critical to this movement are, of course, people like Caitlin Clark and Simone Biles. These are women who have shattered glass ceilings and broken barriers. They are role models to young girls across the country. If they were to emphatically say that trans athletes don’t belong in women’s sports, the issue would be resolved almost immediately at all levels.”*

Gaines believes that the growing cultural shift in America supports protecting women’s sports from male-born competitors. Polls suggest that most Americans oppose the inclusion of transgender athletes in female categories, making this a widely supported stance.
The question remains: Will Clark and Biles eventually speak up? Gaines argues that the backlash they might face would be minimal compared to the support they would receive. While some activists might label them as “transphobic,” the reality is that they would likely be praised by the majority.
However, Caitlin Clark, in particular, faces significant pressure to stay silent. The WNBA is known for its progressive stance, and many players in the league already view her with skepticism. If Clark were to speak out against transgender inclusion in women’s sports, it could create even more tension within the league.
