16 female college athletes have filed a lawsuit against the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA), accusing it of permitting transgender athletes to compete against them while violating their privacy.
The lawsuit also claims the NCAA forced the women to share a female locker room with transgender swimmer Lia Thomas, who still has “full male genitalia.”
Riley Gaines, a former swimmer with the University of Kentucky and an outspoken critic for the NCAA’s inclusion of transgender athletes, announced the lawsuit on X Thursday.
“I’m suing the NCAA along with 15 other collegiate athletes who have lost out on titles, records, & roster spots to men posing as women,” Gaines posted. “The NCAA continues to explicitly violate the federal civil rights law of Title IX. About time someone did something about it.”
The other women on the lawsuit, made up of swimmers, track athletes, and volleyball players, included Reka Gyorgy, Kylee Alons, Kaitlyn Wheeler, Lily Mullens, Susanna Price, Carter Satterfield, Kate Pearson, Katie Blankinship, Julianna Morrow, Ainsley Erzen, and Ellie Eades.
The 4 unnamed athletes have decided to remain anonymous, The Daily Wire reports.
“The NCAA has simultaneously imposed a radical anti-woman agenda on college sports, reinterpreting Title IX to define women as a testosterone level, permitting men to compete on women’s teams, and destroying female safe spaces in women’s locker rooms by authorizing naked men possessing full male genitalia to disrobe in front of non-consenting college women and creating situations in which unwilling female college athletes unwittingly or reluctantly expose their naked or partially clad bodies to males, subjecting women to a loss of their constitutional right to bodily privacy,” the lawsuit says.
The 156-page lawsuit asserts that as many as 300 college women were obliged to use the identical locker rooms and shower facilities utilized by Thomas during his tenure on the women’s swim team at the University of Pennsylvania.
The lawsuit demands that the NCAA rescind any accolade or record achieved by males who have competed as females. In addition to overturning policies permitting males to participate in women’s sports.
