Riley Gaines Act

This bill would let a female college athlete sue a college or athletic association in federal court if the school or association negligently or recklessly allows a biologically male student athlete to compete in a women-only athletic competition and she is physically injured due to the male athlete's physiological advantages. The injured athlete could seek money damages, including the value of a lost scholarship or professional opportunity. If she wins, the court must order the defendant to pay her reasonable attorney's fees.
