The apex court of the United States upheld the Tennessee Senate Bill 1, which banned gender affirming care for minors in the state.

She fought hard. Riley was a 12 time all-American who sacrificed countless hours in the pool.

She launched a protest against the alleged bias towards transgender swimmer Lia Thomas, who was jointly placed fifth with her in the women's 200-yard freestyle race.
