Riley Gaines speaks at Trump rally about sharing locker room with transgender athlete: 'exposed and exploited'
Gaines said she was forced to look at a male's exposed body in her locker room

Former President Trump has made protecting women's sports from transgender inclusion a key campaign issue two weeks ahead of the election. Trump and Republican leaders have pounded Democrats for enabling transgender athletes in women's sports in recent weeks, and that criticism continued Wednesday during a campaign event in Georgia.

Former NCAA swimmer and OutKick contributor Riley Gaines emerged on stage at the Turning Point Action conference to precede Trump and gave a harrowing recollection of her experience being forced to share a locker room with a transgender competitor during her collegiate career.

"I could share the grotesque details of what it was like being forced to undress, inches away from a 6-foot-4 man who watched us strip down to nothing, while he did the same, exposing his fully-intact naked male body," Gaines said. "There are no words to describe the violation and the betrayal, the humiliation that we felt."
