NASHVILLE, Tenn.—If female swimmers all had boycotted, rather than race against a biological man, transgender swimmer Lia Thomas never would have entered the pool, says former University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines.
“Boycott—if we can orchestrate that in any capacity—that’s an effective way to make change,” Gaines said at an event in Nashville, Tennessee on April 27. “Of course, legislature’s there. But this is quicker.”
