Riley Gaines, an NCAA swimmer, is genuinely facing transgender female athletes who participate in women\u2019s sports. After placing sixth in the NCAA Championships against controversial transgender swimmer Lia Thomas, Gaines is now actively fighting against the acceptance of transgender athletes in women\u2019s sports.<\/p>\n
According to the Mail Online, the swimmer is urging professional athletes to publicly address the issue, including Venus and Serena Williams. The swimmer questioned Serena and Venus on Twitter, asking, \u201cWhat do you think about males competing with females?\u201d<\/p>\n
Remember from Serena\u2019s 2013 statement to David Letterman? \u201cI would lose 6-0, 6-0 in five or six minutes, maybe ten minutes, if I were to play Andy Murray.\u201d Men are more faster and serve and hit harder than women; it\u2019s just a different game, in my opinion, therefore men\u2019s and women\u2019s tennis are nearly entirely distinct sports.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m a huge fan of women\u2019s tennis. I just want to play with girls so I won\u2019t feel ashamed.\u201d Gaines said during a speech at San Francisco State University that she was repeatedly struck by a man wearing a dress amid an ambush by pro-trans campaigners.
\nAbout Venus and Serena
\nSerena and Venus won 121 singles tournaments, 4 mixed doubles tournaments and occupied a total of more than 300 weeks at number one in singles and eight weeks also in the doubles rankings. After the 2002 French Open, Venus and Serena were number one and two respectively in the singles rankings.<\/p>\n
Both are part of the small group of tennis players who have won the most titles ever. Partnering in women\u2019s doubles tournaments, the Williams sisters have won 14 Grand Slam titles and on one occasion won 4 consecutively (from Wimbledon 2009 to Paris 2010), but not in the same calendar year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
