Original Note:
Riley Gaines did not lose to Lia Thomas, who is a biological man. Riley Gaines tied with Thomas in a 200 freestyle race. The NCAA official at the race informed Gaines the trophy would be given to Thomas, because they wanted Thomas to be holding the trophy in all photos. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/equality-not-elitism/gaslit-into-silence-swimmer-riley-gaines-explains-why-she-spoke-out-against-lia-thomas-and-trans-athletes https://twitter.com/Riley_Gaines_/status/1696121339562631325?s=20
