Former collegiate swimmer and women’s rights advocate Riley Gaines testified before the House Oversight Committee on Health Care and Financial Services on Tuesday —and it wasn’t long before Gaines got into it with Democrats looking to redefine Title IX.
According to The Daily Wire, “The proposed changes would rewrite Title IX in such a way that policies banning biological males who identify as trans from competing with or against females would now be in violation of law. Issuing such sex distinctions to protect girls sports, therefore, could strip a school of its funding. The rule would be applied to public K-12 schools, colleges, universities, and other institutions that receive federal funding.”
Gaines mixed it up with Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) when Lee preemptively suggested Gaines and other witnesses’ testimonies would be “transphobic” and filled with “hateful misinformation.”
“And Ranking Member Lee, if my testimony makes me transphobic, then I believe you’re opening monologue makes you a misogynist,” Gaines said in closing her opening statement.
Lee then tried to have Gaines’ remarks removed from the record, but ultimately failed.
