Ex-Gymnast, Former Levi's Exec Launches Clothing Line To Support Female Athletes
As a former champion gymnast on the U.S. Women's National Team, Jennifer Sey feels passionate about protecting women's opportunities in sports. And now, she's — quite literally — wearing that passion on her sleeve.
Sey recently launched XX-XY Athletics — "the only athletic brand to stand up for female athletes and the protection of women's sports." And on The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show Monday, Sey discussed how the rising trend of male participation in women's sports is a threat to the safety of, and fairness to, female athletes.
"To my mind, [the idea that men can be women] is such a sexist, misogynistic position. Five years ago, I certainly wouldn't have thought this is the position that the Left would have taken. Two years ago, I wouldn't have thought that this is the vision the Left would have taken," Sey told the hosts.
"Ruth Bader Ginsburg herself said the physical differences between men and women are enduring, they are not fungible. I mean, isn't she a hero of the Left? She said it."
Sey spent 23 years working for Levi's — starting as an entry-level marketing assistant and working her way up to brand president — so she knows a thing or two about selling clothes. She even recruited former UPenn swimmer Paula Scanlan and OutKick's own Riley Gaines as ambassadors.

"They're telling women to sit down, be quiet and make way for the feelings, wants and desires of biological males. Well, I'm not doing it," Sey said. "I'm not afraid of the names that you will call me and neither is Riley. And neither is Paula. Once you've been through it, you don't care anymore. Call me what you want."
Jennifer Sey Stands Up For Common Sense
There's a reason Sey isn't afraid of the left-wing mob: They already tried to take her down once. In February 2022, Sey was forced to resign from Levi's over disputes with management. Sey had been highly critical of school and business closures during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the company didn't appreciate her asking questions.
"It was such a violation of everything I believed in," she said.

And so she moved her family from San Francisco to Denver and found a new calling in the fight to protect women's sports and single-sex spaces. And she hopes more people find the courage to speak up, too.

"The vast majority of Americans agree with us that we need to protect women's sports. It doesn't mean that we can't be inclusive and everyone doesn't have a chance to play. There are solutions for that," Sey said.
"I'm here to advocate for women, and I want to let them know if they stand with us, they will not be alone. Because so many people agree, and they're too afraid to say anything because they're afraid of the names they'll be called. And so they're forsaking women in the process."
No more silent majority. It's time to tell the truth, Sey said, regardless of what the gender identity cult has to say about it.
"Not doing it, to my mind — not standing up and saying true things — is so much scarier because then we live in lies. We can't allow that to happen," Sey said.
"You're putting your daughter's future at risk. Don't you want your daughter to have the same opportunities that you had because of Title IX? You better stand up and you better defend it now or she's gonna lose that chance."
