YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Over a dozen female athletes including Riley Gaines and Réka György are suing the National Collegiate Athletics Association for letting transgender athletes compete against them and use female locker rooms in college sports.

At the center of the class-action lawsuit is Lia Thomas, the trans athlete who dominated the 2022 NCAA Swimming Championships while a student at the University of Pennsylvania. The suit states that both the NCAA and Georgia Tech, which hosted the event, knowingly violated Title IX, the federal statute that guarantees equal opportunity for men and women in college education and sports.

In an exclusive first interview, Free Press reporter Francesca Block sits down with the plaintiffs.
