Research is ongoing around trans women in sports. But Riley Gaines has become the darling of the far-right by using transphobia before science to make bank from attacking the community.
There's no scandal here, no matter how much lefty bloggers want to make it one.
Riley didn't want to compete against a dude, and doesn't want other girls to experience what she did. And she's right, it's obvious to everyone she's right, hence she's won. It's over. Male transgender athletes will no longer be competing against women, in women's sports, at any level. Will take it a few months to ripple across the globe, but... done.
