Swimming Against the Current
Fighting for Common Sense in a World That’s Lost its Mind
By Riley Gaines | Publisher: Hachette Nashville
About the book
A NATIONAL BESTSELLER (USA TODAY)
America’s most effective and celebrated voice in the fight to save women's sports shares her unbelievable story and inspires readers to embrace common sense and truth.
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 and putting their safety at risk.
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.
