Summary

Riley Gaines, author of Swimming Against the Current: Fighting for Common Sense in a World That's Lost Its Mind, joins us to discuss how her rise in the world of competitive women's swimming was interrupted when a biological male was allowed to compete against her, how this consequential injustice led her down a path of activism on behalf of the sanctity of women's sports, and how the culture is slowly but surely shifting in the direction of sanity when it comes to protecting women. - - - Today’s Sponsor: Beam - Get 40% off for a limited time!
