Riley Gaines spoke out after a former college athlete Sophia Lorey's event was disrupted after Lorey was accused of 'misgendering' during a speech about life as a soccer player.
"I stated, ‘Current 10 year old girls cannot live out the same dream [I had] as long as men are allowed to compete in womens sports. So now no matter how hard girls work…’ And then I was cut off and told by the librarian I would be removed, so then I continued talking saying ‘biological girls’ and ‘biological men’ to finish sharing my story," Lorey wrote."The librarian then told me to leave and if I won’t leave he will shut the entire meeting down.
"The librarian then again told me to leave so I directly said why am I being asked to leave and he told me ‘Because you are misgendering, you were talking about men in women sports.’""Gaines for Girls Podcast"Riley Gaines speaks before Florida Gov. and presidential candidate Ron DeSantis at the Greenville Convention Center June 2, 2023.
"This young girl joins the long list of female athletes silenced for opposing unfair competition and giving up consent in areas of undressing where males are present," Gaines said."Notice these were men trying to silence her and not women. Unfortunately, this isn't surprising anymore. The silent majority is needed more than ever to restore sanity.""This is ridiculous, but not shocking....a female athlete silenced for calling a spade a spade.
"My first ever soccer team, to my last year of college soccer," Lorey wrote on X."I got to accomplish my dream of being a collegiate athlete, I will continue to speak out for all the other girls to have the ability to accomplish the same dream, we must protect women’s sports. Men/boys should never be able to take this away from women/girls."The library didn’t immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
