About this listen
America’s most sought-after voice in the fight to save female sports shares her unbelievable story and inspires listeners to embrace common sense and truth in discussions about women's rights.
Riley Gaines has been called many things: Collegiate athlete. All-American. Champion. But in 2022, everything changed. The narrative shifted. Now, critics smeared her as: Transphobic. Narrow-minded. Evil.
What changed? Riley gave the truth a voice. She stood up, spoke out, and dared to ask questions—not just for herself, but for all female athletes who refuse to accept an ideology where "inclusivity" for trans-identifying male athletes now means treating women unfairly.
Riley Gaines is changing minds in the process, and this highly anticipated, fearless, pro-woman book takes on controversial but critical questions we must confront about women (and sports) in America. Can't we embrace policies that give everyone the chance to compete but still protect women and ensure they have a fair shot at success?
In this book, Riley scrutinizes the perspectives of athletes on the opposing side of this debate, deconstructing their arguments with science, facts, and logic. She also asks what has happened to free speech and dissent in this country, where it now seems nearly impossible to have a well-reasoned debate. And in telling her story, Riley reveals what’s at stake if the truth-seekers remain silent about the injustices women face from radical agendas.

"She is remarkably brave. She is very forthright. She is extremely vivacious. She is incredibly disciplined. She's a top-rate person. She is a great role model for everyone, but particularly for young women. She stood her ground. She’s come up against some bitter and well-armed foes. But all that’s going to do is make her more than she already is and that’s something to see because she’s already quite something."—Jordan Peterson

Well worth listening to….
I really admire Riley for everything she’s managed -all the hate she’s endured, simply for standing up for what is right. Saying what so many of us think, but know that if we said it, we would also be accused of what she has been - “transphobic”. The Science and Biological facts (not to mention COMMON SENSE) are on her side -and always will be. Thankyou Riley for narrating your book yourself. You can hear the passion in you speaking your own words. I listened to it all in one go. I then went back and listened to certain chapters again. The way you were treated by certain authorities was disgraceful.

informative and inspirational
Riley is the most courageous women in our current times. As a Aussie Man a born again Christian I found the commitment Riley expressed for the truth to be told acted on and stood up for so refreshing in a world of disillusion and insanity. Riley's take on her horrific experience in the SF college reminded of the Sodom and Gomorrah story. A community of men beating down a family home because they felt entitled to have sexual access to unconsential visiting males. Let's all stand up for the rights of women without fear or shame.

Brilliant, brave and articulate. A must read.
A must read. I learned so much and feel truly inspired. A great representation of a new wave of feminism that celebrates women and appreciates men for the value we each offer the world.

Gutsy- a real definition of a woman -
Thanks Riley , you’ve challenged me. I didn’t know how to react when I saw a man dressed as a woman washing his hands in the women’s restroom in Sydney, Australia, but I know what to do now, for the sake of my grandchildren- both girls and boys, I won’t be quiet.
