In this national bestseller, America's most prominent voice in the fight to save female sports shares her story.
NOW A NATIONAL BESTSELLER (USA TODAY)!

America's most sought-after voice in the fight to save female sports shares her unbelievable story and inspires readers to embrace common sense and truth in discussions about women's rights.

Riley Gaines has been called many things: Collegiate athlete. All-American. Champion. But in 2022, everything changed. The narrative shifted. Now, critics smeared her as: Transphobic. Narrow-minded. Evil.

What changed? Riley gave the truth a voice. She stood up, spoke out, and dared to ask questions -- not just for herself, but for all female athletes who refuse to accept an ideology where "inclusivity" for trans-identifying male athletes now means treating women unfairly.

Riley Gaines is changing minds in the process, and this highly anticipated, fearless, pro-woman book takes on controversial but critical questions we must confront about women (and sports) in America. Can't we embrace policies that give everyone the chance to compete but still protect women and ensure they have a fair shot at success?

In this bestselling book, Riley scrutinizes the perspectives of athletes on the opposing side of this debate, deconstructing their arguments with science, facts, and logic. She also asks what has happened to free speech and dissent in this country, where it now seems nearly impossible to have a well-reasoned debate. And in telling her story, Riley reveals what's at stake if the truth-seekers remain silent about the injustices women face from radical agendas.

Riley Gaines is a women's rights activist and recent graduate of the University of Kentucky, where she was a 12x All-American swimmer, 2x Olympic Trial Qualifier, and 5x SEC Champion. Based in Nashville, she is an advisor for the Independent Women's Forum and hosts Outkick's "Gaines for Girls" podcast. Gaines is also the Director of the Riley Gaines Center at the Leadership Institute. She regularly appears on national media, gives speeches, and meets with legislators across the country.
