Riley Gaines Discusses Conservative Trends and Supreme Court Decisions on Trans Athletes

NEW YORK, Nov. 24, 2025 — Riley Gaines, an OutKick contributor, spoke on ‘Varney & Co.’ about shifting trends among conservative young women and the push by Democrats for the Supreme Court to support transgender athletes in sports.

In her segment, Gaines emphasized how many young conservative women are becoming more active in political discussions, particularly concerning issues of fairness in athletics. She noted that this demographic is increasingly vocal about the implications of allowing transgender women to compete in women’s sports.

“We are seeing a growing movement among young women who feel their rights and opportunities are being compromised,” Gaines said. “It’s important to have a debate that includes all voices, especially from those who are affected.”

The conversation comes amidst heightened scrutiny of policies regarding transgender athletes, with various groups calling for a Supreme Court ruling that could set a national precedent. Democrats are leading efforts to encourage the court to recognize the rights of transgender individuals in the athletic field.

Gaines’ remarks highlight a significant cultural clash as the nation approaches potentially landmark decisions on this issue. The outcome could impact how sports are organized at all levels, from schools to professional leagues.

The debate is expected to continue gaining momentum as key cases make their way to the Supreme Court, keeping this issue at the forefront of national discourse.
