Megyn Kelly is joined by Riley Gaines, author of "Swimming Against the Current" to discuss her goal of winning a national title, how this was hindered by having to compete against a biological man, female athletes being shamed out of standing up for themselves in our culture today, and more.

    Yes, but we also need to stop calling him Lia. His name is William Thomas. And we as a society need to stop being bullied by people who make false claims that they’re under some kind of mortal danger by being “deadnamed.” People can easily Google his real name if they really want to. And it’s just a way to manipulate and force everyone to go along with the lie.

    Riley represents women so well. Feminine, strong, courageous and smart. My daughter was a D1 collegiate tennis player, and it is absurd that any male should be allowed in women's sports. The differences are so vast at the elite level. I don't think the average person understands just how big the differences are. In tennis, not one female in the world would beat a D1 college male player. Not one. And the women's tennis game is at an awesome level. The men are just too quick and powerful. I would argue the differences people would see in a game like tennis would be far greater than what you would see in the pool or on the track. Returning the serve, first or second, of a D1 level male for any female is generally a complete mismatch. That is half the game. Basketball would be even greater mismatch. Those allowing this have either never played anything or are dumber than a box of rocks. Keep up the great work, Riley.
