Summer Lee called Champion Swimmer and Diver Riley Gaines Transphobic and Bigoted when Lee said she’s disgusted that she has to listen to transphobic bigotry. Lee said that, even though Riley Gaines has supported LGBTQ’s in sports.
Lee has a JD which is an advanced law degree from Howard University School of Law. One wonders how anyone can believe a biological male should be allowed to compete in sports with much smaller biological females. Lee must not grasp that every player in the NFL, the NHL and the NBA are not females because females cannot compete against males. Women cannot compete with men. Lee was confronted by Gaines who said: “If my testimony makes me transphobic, then I believe your opening monologue makes you a misogynist.”…
Shortly thereafter, Lee, who just took office in January, called on Subcommittee Chairwoman GOP Rep. Lisa McClain of Michigan to have Gaines’ remarks about her struck from the record, saying the witness was “engaging in personalities….
The House “personalities” decorum rule has to do with how members of Congress address each other, requiring them to debate the issues at hand and not engage in personal attacks. However, it does not have to do with how witnesses before the committee address lawmakers.
Gaines interjected before McClain ruled on the matter asking, “Could I just ask how it’s fair to be called transphobic?”…
McClain, Lee and staff members conferred, resulting in Lee saying, “OK, I move to withdraw the point of order.”…
Gaines made national headlines during the 2022 NCAA Swim Championships when she tied for fifth place in the 200-yard freestyle with Lia Thomas, a man, who identifies as a woman. Officials gave the fifth place trophy to Thomas.
Gaines was told she could stand on the winner’s dais next to Thomas and was given a sixth place trophy to hold to make it appear both were receiving awards.
In April, the Biden administration’s Department of Education submitted a crazy rule change to Title IX making it a violation to bar biological men who identify as women from participating in women’s sports…. Here’s a photo of the male supposed Woman’s Calss winner nest to the fifth place female Riley Grimes.. 
“Under the proposed regulation, schools would not be permitted to adopt or apply a one-size-fits-all policy that categorically bans transgender students from participating on teams consistent with their gender identity,” the public notice said.
“Instead, the Department’s approach would allow schools flexibility to develop team eligibility criteria that serve important educational objectives, such as ensuring fairness in competition or preventing sports-related injury. These criteria would have to account for the sport, level of competition, and grade or education level to which they apply,” the notice continued.
“One-size-fits-all policies that categorically ban transgender students from participating in athletics consistent with their gender identity across all sports, age groups, and levels of competition would not satisfy the proposed regulation.”
