Hi Friend,
SIGN THE PETITION TO PROTECT COLLEGIATE FEMALE ATHLETICS AND SAVE WOMEN’S SPORTS!
As we ring in the New Year, I’ve done a lot of thinking and reflecting on the major damage that was done to Title IX and female sports in 2022. Last year I witnessed firsthand the injustice of allowing biological men to compete in the women's category.

To all collegiate female athletes, it’s unfair and, plain and simple, it is DISCRIMINATION. That’s why Independent Women’s Forum, along with a huge coalition of female athletes and organizations on the left and the right that represent women nationwide, has launched a petition to tell the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) to STOP discriminating against female athletes.
Friend,
I’m asking you to stand with women and sign your name to the petition. ([link removed])

Upon tying with Lia Thomas (biological male) at our 2022 National Championships, the NCAA official handing out the trophies informed me that they had not accounted for ties (which are rare), so Lia would take the trophy home instead of me. He said I would eventually be mailed one. He then further informed me that it was crucial Lia had the trophy for “photo purposes.”

As you can imagine, I was devastated. I felt marginalized, belittled, and excluded from proper recognition in this event. My face in this photo says it all.

But not all hope is lost.

The NCAA will be having their annual convention in San Antonio during the week of January 11-14, 2023. IWF will be making our presence known, and you can too.

We will hand deliver the petition to the NCAA at their convention and stress that we have support from coast to coast that firmly believes biological males should not be competing in female sports.

As new legislative cycles begin, IWF will be working hard to make sure that all levels of women’s sports are protected.

We’re in a crunch to get supporters to sign the petition before next week to let the NCAA know that we won’t put up with discrimination against female athletes at D1, D2, and D3 schools.

Women deserve fair competition, privacy, and safety in our sports! I know you agree. Take 1 minute to sign your name and add your voice.

Thank you for your continued support.
Riley

P.S. Please sign by January 11 to be included in the printed version I’ll personally deliver to the NCAA next week. Sign here ([link removed]) .
