Riley Gaines recently expressed her thoughts on a trans activist calling for the idea of a 'gender-neutral' Olympics on 'Piers Morgan Uncensored'.

Gaines was not impressed with the activist's idea of a 'gender-neutral Olympics'. She counter-questioned that by this logic, Olympians should be participating in the Paralympics, to which the activist agreed. Gaines shared the excerpt on her X timeline, and wrote,

"When they say 'diversity, equity, and inclusion', they actually mean ridding disabled people of all opportunities and chances for success....that is how committed they are to their demented logic."

Previously, Gaines had reacted to trans athlete Cece Telfer, who had openly announced that she wouldn't be giving up her NCAA title won in the 400m hurdles event. Gaines responded in her conversation with Fox News:

"The policy simply is not clear. Again, it removes accountability from the NCAA."

Riley Gaines had previously extensively campaigned against the participation of trans athletes in women's sports. She had even filed a lawsuit against the NCAA with 15 other athletes in early 2024 regarding the same.
