Riley Gaines Says Fight Isn’t Over After SCOTUS Ruling, Because Then Who Would Pay Her To Be On a Podcast?

You might think that a Supreme Court ruling, such as the recent one which gave states the green light to continue banning transgender women and girls from female sports teams, would be the final word on something. But that’s not the case for fifth-place loser Riley Gaines, who still feels that there are trans kids out there she can bully. “This ruling was great for girls who live in states like my home state of Tennessee, but not so good, or I guess indifferent, for girls in states like California, Washington, Oregon, Minnesota, Michigan, Maine,” Gaines told TMZ in a video interview, listing states where trans athletes are still protected by state-level legislation. “Basically, fairness and safety depend on your zip code and your geography and where you live in the country.” TMZ then asked Gaines if she would be “at the battle” in those states — though there is, once again, no such battle needed! If people in those states want to ban trans athletes, they can elect leaders who promise to do so! But despite famously having a hard time winning, Gaines is not giving up. “Of course, I personally will with any means and measures necessary, but more than me personally, I hope that we see the Department of Justice and the Department of Education aggressively enforce existing federal law,” Gaines continued. “That federal law being Title IX against these institutions that continue to violate the rights of women and girls.” Gaines went on to call out California Governor Gavin Newsom, whom she said is “giving President Trump the middle finger” by allowing trans girls to play on sports teams that align with their gender identity. The Supreme Court released its decision in both Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J. on Tuesday, upholding state bans on trans girls competing on girls’ sports teams. The majority rested their decision on the precedent set by United States v. Skrmetti, saying that the bans classify students by sex, not by gender iden
