The Problems with Trans-ideology

She said there were a ton of reporters both left and right trying to talk to anyone who competed against Thomas, including Gaines and all of her teammates, to the point where they had found each swimmer's email addresses as well as their parents' email addresses.

UK, naturally, told its team not to feed into that. But Riley saw all the emails and got starry-eyed, so she reached out to the UK communications person asking them to reconsider.

UK said thanks for sending these media requests, we've declined them all for you. But that made her mad because she REALLY wanted to talk to the media, so she ignored UK and did it anyway. She of course chose the Daily Wire, probably the most right wing outlet there and the one most likely to make Lia Thomas's life a living hell, to Riley's direct personal benefit.

Wow, so heroic. What a sacrifice she made by shamelessly chasing personal fame at trans people's expense

Also, congrats, you took like 12 trans women competing in NCAA sports (within each sport's rules about hormones etc. and largely not winning anything) and banned them from all sports entirely, mainly so Riley Gaines can enrich herself. What a good thing to do. Having the entire country harass a tiny minority group is what good guys do

Awesome. Do it for every sport.

"Calling an entire minority group mentally ill is bigoted? That is new." Lol ok

No, it is trying to care for others. If a person in this group thinks they are the opposite sex and expects others in society to agree with them, then yes, they have mental health concerns and should be seen by a qualified professional.

FOS at every turn

As she made more media appearances, Gaines’ rhetoric grew sharper. In her initial Daily Wire interview, she’d said of Thomas: “I am in full support of her and full support of her transition and her swimming career and everything like that, because there’s no doubt that she works hard too, but she’s just abiding by the rules that the NCAA put in place, and that’s the issue.” Yet by the following spring any empathy she once had for Thomas had vanished: “He is an arrogant, cheat who STOLE a national title from a hardworking, deserving woman,” she tweeted.

Soon the locker room became a central theme, as she accused the NCAA of having “forced” the swimmers to change with Thomas and allowing “any man” to walk in—though both the men’s and women’s locker rooms had been opened to the competitors at the women’s championship. “If you walked in and saw Lia and you didn’t want to be in there, you could walk next door to the other locker room, or go in the stall,” says one of Gaines’ teammates. Though a handful of swimmers at the meet also went public to say that Thomas’ presence in the locker room made them uncomfortable, Gaines’ version of the story was more lurid: “We turned around and there’s a 6-foot-4 biological man dropping his pants and watching us undress, and we were exposed to male genitalia,” she told Fox News. “Not even probably a year, two years ago, this would have been considered some form of sexual assault, voyeurism.”

But other swimmers who saw Thomas in the locker room say she changed facing a corner, wrapped in a towel. “She was just in the corner, changing normally, keeping to herself,” says one competitor.

But in the year and a half since then, Gaines has been quiet in public about the lawsuit. Two UK swimmers told me they’re disappointed and frustrated that she has not used her platform to talk about the problems that affected her teammates. “I think it’s very telling,” says one of her anonymous teammates. “She’s very, ‘Protect women’s sports.’ But not when it comes to our team.”

“The reality is that there are much bigger problems that women face in sports,” Ward says. “Society has ignored these problems for decades. And now, all of a sudden, we’re pretending to care about women in sports in the name of banning trans people?”

How right-wing superstar Riley Gaines built an anti-trans empire

The swimmer tied a trans woman for fifth. The MAGA industrial complex took care of the rest.

Trans people are mentally ill, that's not a bigoted statement.

You need to realize that some libs are just never going to cross that line and call a spade a spade. A good friend of our family has a son that was born around the same time my daughter was. They played together as kids for years. Long story short, that boy is now a woman and identifies as such. We all love him to death regardless of how he identifies. We are obviously bigots by providing facts.

I bet loving her doesn't include telling her she's mentally ill every 5 seconds like some here

I think the overwhelming majority of people don't much care how someone lives their lives on their own time. It's when dudes that are dudes because they're, you know, males, decide that their feelz on that matter magically should allow them to insinuate themselves into areas that are specifically set aside for actual women the tone changes.
