@@mokuba76 I imagine you are referring to the protesters who physically and verbally attacked her at SFSU. Sane people would describe their behaviour as "unhinged," but, again, I'm talking only about sane people here.
@mokuba76 Just the opposite - the truth of the matter is: "You absolutely CANNOT say the same thing for the people who disagree with her." As Riley and JBP so clearly established in the interview, sports orgs and Univ administrators perpetrating this travesty have behaved in the most devious and cowardly ways.
I'm sure she's an extremely smart young lady but you really don't have to be a genius to destroy the Looney tunes position of the left What makes the idea of somebody being born with a brain of a different gender in their body crazy is the fact that people believe this is a physical reality with no physical evidence. But what makes it extremely even more Looney tunes is a fact not only is there no physical criteria for being transgender there's not even a philosophical criteria. The only criteria for example for being a transgender woman is saying you are which means absolutely nothing because again there's no criteria for it physical or philosophically which makes the idea of being a transgender woman no more coherent than being ldbkbchknvv.
@@sabishiihito That’s an excellent point! My defense is that even I’ve become conditioned by the idiocy from people like 37 year old Megan Rapinoe and the overwhelming pop media to subconsciously lower my standard of excellence. But remember, both Riley and Megan invested their lives in pursuit of excellence. 22 year old Riley is a damn sight wiser than Megan. That’s also telling. Riley is a straight, normal female, while Megan is a radical leftist lesbian. That’s the society we’re in today. You point is well taken!
@@BoB-th8wm You have the equal opportunity to compete, as a biological man, in male spaces against other men. You DO NOT have the right to compete, as a biological man, in women's spaces against biological women. You do not have the right to infringe on their equality of opportunity.
@@sharktenko267 are you joking here? The idea is patently ridiculous if you’re being serious Men ‘competing’ against women is an abomination There is no such thing as a trans-woman in reality There are men who claim to be women who in some cases chop parts of themselves off and swallow some chemicals to further their delusion End of story
I'm a young female athlete for running and soccer and i have watched as a highschool aged male won state over a senior girl. He ran across the finish line without even breathing hard. Its horrible to know that in the fear of being called transphobic or a horrible person is allowing these men to affect our sports. This needs to be stopped. I hope to be as strong as Riley Gaines
Well, you're part way there to figuring out the problem. You are correct about some of the biology - that top athletic performance is usually male dominated. That's the dumb feminist lie you're arguing against. The part that you're missing is the dumb conservative lie. The way the biology of sex works is a little more complicated than putting everyone in a man or woman category. It turns out, there's all kinds of diversity when it comes to sex. It's more of a spectrum, and it's a little arbitrary where to decide to draw the line in many cases. The punchline being, when you decided to divide up society into men's sports and women's sports, and you drew that arbitrary line on that spectrum of sex, what you did is pretty much guarantee that the women closest to the line were the ones that were going to have advantages in that sport. Which is how it works in real life. Yet another expose of sexism! This time sexism from both conservatives AND feminists! The better question is how to handle sports scholarships, which is why the question about who qualifies for women's sports is relevant. Personally, I think there's way too much emphasis on performance, and not nearly enough emphasis on discipline. If a highschooler has an outstanding fitness routine, but they're not particularly good at any one sport, I think that person should be getting the scholarship. And, someone who's uber talented, wins every event, but doesn't train very hard, that person should not be eligible for scholarship. We shouldn't be trying to give scholarships to potential pro athletes, we should be trying to give scholarships to potential personal trainers and physical educators. That means how you play the game is the most important part. Which furthers my analysis of the problem. Stop trying to divide people by sex or race! It just creates way too many issues, and the people trying to do it never really think it through.
@@ywtcc yeah that will exactly kills women sports we never watch. dont devide it. let trans women and men compete eachother. i bet leah thomas will lead the mob who wants women sports back.
@@omerfidan892 My point is anyone that puts in the work should be eligible for the scholarship. For most amateur competitions, the winning isn't why people are involved. I think you're being really immature, by focusing so much on who's winning meaningless amateur athletics competitions. It's clearly the practice and preparation that's the important part.
For my daughter’s future and the entire next generation in America, I am so glad there are intelligent, strong, morally upright and SANE individuals like Riley Gaines and Jordan Peterson out there in the public discourse
@@danieijohnson3214 Depending upon the viewer, as Riley explained the students who mobbed and threatened her over lies were rewarded for being brave. Just like it was brave to mob Jews in 1930's Germany.
Riley we women support you 10000% You are amazing and strong. Thank you for standing up for females. I'm so sorry for the injustice you and your teammates has endured.
She’s 22 and has a level of accountability, insight and self-reflection, and compassion that I couldn’t have even dreamed of before my 30s. The future really does hold so much hope. Go girl! 💜
Will Thomas is ALWAYS 100% biological male. People don't change sex. Why would JP cater to this misogynistic idea that if I man took estrogen a couple of times, if Thomas even did that, that he is somehow now a little female! I can take T every day for a year and I will still be 100% female. Am I supposed to be believe that occasionally JP is unable to think logically but only when the subject is the reality of being a woman? There is a very real pathology here re: women that I would like to figure out.
Riley is so impressive . She’s speaks so well and has a clear rational mindset . I mean this woman is a champion ! She is very Inspiring and I say that as a 52 year old man . I can honestly say that I’m proud of her .
I wouldn’t say brave, more like courage. Being brave means you’re acting on something without thinking it while having courage is still being scared but you’re acting on it anyway.
Woman of the year 2023! Riley should be celebrated and recognized for her strength and courage. She is dedicated, resilient and a force to be reckon with…saving women’s sports. Thank you Riley! We support you.
But somehow, you voted for a brain dead lunatic who met with Dylan Mulvaney and whose politics force you to celebrate Lia Thomas instead of Riley Gains. Please, do better next year.
Riley’s courage is not only inspiring, it’s iconic. She chose to stand for what is right regardless of personal cost. Our society needs more heroes like her. The Great Controversy between good and evil is raging all around us and Riley’s situation is a clear proof of this. I admire her for taking a stand for what is just and right regardless of consequences. This journey will not be easy, but in the end it will be WORTH it. Riley’s influence is contagious. Heaven applauds such decisions. Remain strong until the end, Riley! You are not along, I’ll pray for you every day.
More women need to realize that Being hot and being held in high esteem as very different things… And her courage and honesty are worthy of high esteem, and she seems very attractive. Her husband is blessed. Mass respect to you young lady. 22? Quite amazing.
Riley the women of the world are watching and we are with you. You are the wonder woman to take down this toxic ambush of women rights. As a fellow woman I salute you! Women around the world are proud to have you in this fight.
If only the "women of the world" would all start acting instead of sitting, watching and cheering on social media. More women need to get out there instead of looking for a "savior" they can cheer with only their fingers and keyboards
@@briankenome It would also be great if women wouldn’t have to fight MEN alone and the men that constantly pride themselves in “protecting women and children” would actually DO the protecting part instead of leaving comments on the internet blaming women who can’t physically fight grown men.
@@nothanks1945 hope you realize that men started to pull back when radical feminists started to let the world know how independent and strong they are and how women don't need men for nothing. This whole gender ideology has its roots in radical feminism! Doesn't it bother you that the majority of people supporting this whole trans ideology happen to be women? Yet women want men to be protective while at the same time calling men toxic for being masculine? Y'all need pick a side and stick to it cos it's a "damned if you do and damned if you don't" situation for something that has its roots in radical feminism!
@@nothanks1945 war is always in the mind before anything physical arises, you fight with your mind. Telling someone, "Hey! Don't you tell me more woman need to stand up! What about men?" That's an impression of you btw, you're attacking the person helping You, who's making a call for an uprising, Yes this is "womens" fight first and of course we are here to help You, but when you say stuff like that you're just coming across as an sexist asshole. So accept the help and stop bitching. Or fight alone.
I love how Riley is making Jordan Peterson pause and think. She actually pulled stuff out of his brain. I would 'guess' he really enjoyed this convo. I totally did. Usually it's take take take form Jordan Peterson's mind but this one was different. Riley, those are hard questions - you took them and answered them like a BOSS! Go girl!
I was born into BS and insanity - I was able to overcome it by learning how to think rationally first, which is no easy task for anyone, and I thankfully had the luxury of a full decade to search for a solution that didn't work just for my own benefit. I found it important to articulate answers that inspire me to the "hard why" questions. Why do people seek coercive power? Why do people play the monolithic hierarchy game when it's not in their best interest to do so? Why can't the masses, i.e. people with a strong inferiority complex and/or highly emotional thought process, realize that they are harming themselves by not supporting the rational thinking people who they feel inferior to, and instead supporting con artists who use them as footstools for coercive power over the rational people - the people who would help them under a better hierarchy.
A woman is woman genetically, biologically is solely fact based, sound, cold, straight forward, hard truth biology. Humans as a species are mammals . A mammal, like elephants, canines, felines, whales etc etc. Do we ever see a male elephant wandering around pretending to be a female elephant, or wanting to mate with another Male ?? Or are there any canine bitches running around pretending to be a male dog ?? Are there any male Blue Whales swimming around in the oceans, pursuing and looking for another MALE Blue Whale to mate with ?? NO, NEVER. This craziness has however everything to do with subjective, abstract, non logical, irrational, emotions, imaginations, sexual and non sexual fantasies, illusions, delusions of the psyche, some irrational retrograde (go back to old Rome or Babylon) philosophy and feelings, lots and lots of feelings and imaginations and non logic Fantasies; in someones head. That's okay, fine, if it's in someones head but, and this is a BUT the size of all universes out there, what bugs me is that people are just not intelligent, gutsy, rational, logical enough to admit that. Just admit and say, "I want to publicly live out my irrational, sexual role play fantasies" and at least have some logic and guts and stop dragging, fact based, hard, cold truth, biology and genetics into this.
Is this girl amazing, or what?!? I am a mother of 3 daughters and can only imagine the amount of pride her mother must feel watching her daughter on the national stage. You can already tell that she has a bright future ahead and will most definitely succeed at any endeavor she chooses. (Or, that chooses her) Great program!
When I was little I was excited to become part of the world of kind and wise adults 😂 and then found out how colossal stupidity has grown and been nurtured
@@katelynholmes9504 welcome to the club. It is devastating to realise that you don't need to be a candle on the cake and still be some sort of "elite" among society and people. Whenever getting into an argument (mostly with woke idiots and "world saviours") it gets so tiring because they can't even argument with you. You drop a hypthesis or a good argument and they come up with some emotional bullshit or some nonsense argument which you can prove wrong within seconds. Not fun at all. And you can't even reach a healthy consensus or debate since they start getting angry, more irrational and ridiculous. I don't understand, in front of you is someone who is 20+ or 30+ but acting like a small child without even thinking about the things you tell them. Very frustrating.
This poor young lady. She is smart, levelheaded and obviously dedicated to her sport and also to fairness. No one should have to go through this whole journey of insanity.
Poor young lady? She faced an adversity imposed on her by the monsterous tyrants of the left and she was the victor. She won the hardest race life will ever throw at her, a champion's champion.
Thank you Dr Peterson and Riley, you are backed by thousands who MUST speak out against this insanity! Thank you for your bravery, I applaud you! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You are correct except for one thing - I think that she is backed over a million. Many are just too frightened to speak out based on Riley's own experience.
I agree. Riley, don't bother with dentistry. You have a much greater calling than that. We need you and other women like you, to stand up and be true leaders for women on a global level, to counter the Greta Thunbergs, and the insidiously destructive corrosion of the trans movement. Girls and women need role models who are genuinely female, and who understand what that's like in a way that only they can. There's no need for a war between men and women, we were designed to be complimentary and you clearly understand that, and can be a voice for that. Understanding and communication can overcome ignorance and division, but as with all things competitive, there needs to be those individuals with the unique abilities necessary to light the path and show the way. Not everyone has those abilities or can do that, but you clearly do. It looks like God has already set your feet on this path, much the same way he set Jordan's feet on his path. Neither of you were looking or asking for it, but if you are willing and accept the calling, God will be with you. Get close to him in prayer, and ask him for whatever it is you will need to be what he is calling you to be. He will grant you what you need. Do it with him, and you will succeed.
We have men and women, simple. If they now think we have something in the middle call trans ,then they have to create only trans competition. We are women period without any prefix . So the other so called women with prefix " trans" must compete in any sports of their choice among themselves. We are fed up with this insanity
Riley has many gifts. Not only is she a strong athlete, she is an intellectual. I'm so thankful to have someone with her ability to be clear and articulate out there representing women's sports, and women's spaces. So proud of this young lady! We stand with Riley, 💯
I'm not a religious person, but I feel that God put her in an exactly tie with Lia to unmask the injustice to the right person to start this movement. God guided the situation to give her this job.
This WOMAN has accomplished so much at such a young age with all the class and integrity anyone can possibly have. We support you Riley against this injustice to women’s rights.
As a former swimmer myself, I know for a fact that sport is so freaking challenging and there is a good reason why males and females compete separately. If even arguably one of the top female swimmers can be beat by a lower tier biological male, then no other women have a chance. Say goodbye to women’s sports as we know it and any scholarships going to biological females.
I’m also a former collegiate swimmer. Men and women can’t even share lanes during practice. I remember other women on my team couldn’t stand the slowest guy on the team, because he would insist on sharing a lane with us, even though he would always lap us. Swimming is a brutal sport. I remember committing around 5 hours a day for practices during the swim season and going to lecture with wet hair and ice packs saran wrapped to my shoulders. To train like that for months all for your opportunities to be stolen from you by a faux woman is vile.
This exactly. It is taking away opportunities away from women. Next they will take away something else, just on how they can be a better woman than a natural woman. And we’ll be forced to continually accept that men are superior in all things (and I mean all things) That’s where this feels like it is going
Even as a recreational level: a) All athletes start somewhere, often grassroots & recreational. b) We KNOW females drop out of sport in puberty & rarely return, leading to (arguably) worsened physical & mental health. All this will only further push women out of sport because what is the point when the chance of tangible reward is reduced? Also some women of religious faiths cannot swim/be undressed with men, they NEED female-only recreational swim groups for example.
I don’t care about sports whatsoever…but I have a problem when men can be a women and get pregnant…this is crazy…and God knew human beings are destroyed from within and evils…many people can’t even make $5/day in some countries, many people don’t even have foods and water…and we are here talking about sports and sex transgender…many idiots need to go to hell….ruin many lives…especially young students and kids…I hope people wake up…and slap those idiots in the face….enough is enough…Peace…
Bravo, Riley. You have many people out there supporting you in your fight against this gender nonsense that now pervades everything. Keep up the great work.
My sister also trained to swim competitively from a young age. The effort wasn't just hers. She needed to be taken to the swimming pool every day at 6am, while the rest of us are still in bed, and she needed to be picked up again when done. For years. Unless you have witnessed the incredible amount of effort that women like Riley go to, you won't really understand how much people like me hate (yes, hate is the right word), cheats like Thomas. So when I've seen Thomas interviewed, justifying his position, it makes me want to punch him in the face. Ironically though, he is a 6ft 4in bloke, who could wipe the floor with me, or any other normal guy, without breaking into a sweat.
Why aren't the audience booing these cheats seems every one commenting supports her but aren't doing anything a whole audience booing would soon stop these cheats
It is amazing how retarded our society has become that we have to seriously discuss this. Men who insist on going into women's changerooms should be arrested and charged. Men who attempt to compete in women's sports should be summarily booted out of the competition and removed by force if necessary.
I agree! As hard as this is for me to say this, gay marriage shouldn’t have been allowed. However, people shouldn’t be allowed to identify as both male and female. Biological gender should only be the way you identify.
Yes! I have been recognizing for a while that many trans people exhibit narcissistic behavior. So glad that more people are taking this perspective. Once you see it, you can't unsee it! I also think of society at large in the US and Canada (and other places) operating as a dysfunctional family system where - the people in charge (enablers) aren't protecting the most vulnerable (often because of their own shameless behavior) - put the "Golden Child" ahead of others (the Narc), - attempt to sweep the abuse and dysfunction under the rug or cover it up - while gaslighting truth tellers while labelling them as the black sheep (or problem child) Tell the truth. Stay strong. We got you.
He was very verbal about it. He seemed way more triggered than her. Hell, any human with a common sense should be. My 60 year old mom was just couldn’t believe a dude was swimming against a woman. My 75 year old dad didn’t even want to talk about it. He said literally “send the asteroid” LOL
I don't know how many 16 year olds listen to your podcasts, but for me, these have saved me from things i can't even name. Thank you Jordan. I really want to be like you some day.
Her talent, her work ethic, above all her COURAGE gives me goosebumps. THIS is what stunning and brave looks like. We are behind you Riley!! My daughter is a young swimmer and these young girls are watching our female athletes for cues. All girls and women deserve a fair athletic playing field.
I’ve been aware of this story since it broke and I was outraged at the time, but I’ve watched this carefully - it can not be underestimated how important this interview is - as a woman (I refuse to call myself cis - I am simply a woman) I completely empathise with this young woman and applaud her bravery to stand against something that is so fundamental to our society. I have 2 daughters, and unless women like this continue to join the battle I fear for their future. Fantastic piece of content - as a woman I find it deeply upsetting, demoralising and offensive that after decades of fighting for our rights, our needs, our fears and our achievements are cast aside in this way. #keep women’s sports female ❤
As a man I’m sorry we allowed this kind of stuff to happen. It’s our job to protect you girls from all harm no matter what our relationship is. As a man my primal instincts just tell me this is wrong and I want to help and make sure all women are safe and have their rights and privacy protected. Being polite and not speaking up is what allowed this to get out of control and the only way to fix it is to speak up and potentially offending people on the left. They are clearly comfortable with offending others so why should we be concerned about their feelings?
@@boardmeetingsofficial feelings don't matter to me when it comes to any of this crazy stuff. Thanks for having our backs. It's all we can hope for at this point.
NEVER use the radical’s language. It only encourages them and normal does their mad ideas. No such thing as Cis, no such thing as a trans woman or trans man. Sorry for the genuine intersex people, but that’s a totally different thing to these claims of the far left/woke progressive loons.
I have not heard a person this young be so articulate, let alone so accomplished, and I raised 4 sharp adults and employ many of them. THANK YOU RILEY and JP for fighting for women’s sports! I have told my kids that if they were going into Jr or Sr year when “covid” happened I would have ended up in prison, I would have been so EXTRA angry. You’re an inspiration, Ms Riley. Don’t quit! Doesn’t sound like that’s in your DNA anyway.
What an amazing woman. What an incredible role model for girls everywhere. I'm a 54 y/o father of two and I am utterly floored by this lady's life story. Keep up the good fight, Riley.
Yeah, I was impressed at 23:23 she talked about accountability and women taking any criticism personally. She was spot on. Women absolutely hate accountability and anything said to the negatively… wow the whining always start. She is very aware for her age
@@Undomaranel If you believe in the central limit theorem (i.e. normal curve) then you must admit a high percentage fall into being just that... I get it nobody likes being lumped together, but statistically most are.. just facts!

So impressed with how intelligent and well-spoken Riley Gaines is. I pray she and other female athletes like her prevail against this violent woke madness.
Not to take away from Ms. Gaines, but she is a college-educated woman. Anything else but being intelligent and well-spoken to some degree should be a given.
Her description of that "gut punch" moment, that other woman seeing her work and accomplishments stripped away, moved me to tears. I can't even imagine the frustration. "We got around that by making the locker room unisex." What an absolute serpent. The people involved in that decision and the enforcement of it are scum and should be ashamed, the spineless cretins. I applaud you both for speaking out about this.
What i don’t understand is the people who say it’s okay for men to compete against women if they say they’re a woman, are not athletes. I bet a very high majority if not exclusively all athletes will agree that it is unfair for men to compete against women. Look at the clip of Venus (or Serena) Williams after they played that one dude tennis player who was like number 206 in world and lost , they said they don’t want to compete against men because they’ll be embarrassed. (I hope that made sense).
I agree. Locker rooms should be separated. Public norms demand rest areas/rooms are given the right to protect their privacy in public spaces. The Only time I agree with restroom changes was when a "family" restroom was added to help parents traveling with children that needed that benefit publicly to bring the opposite sexed child into a closed private area.
The thing that terrifies me, as a mother of 2 girls, that some weirdo will say they’re “trans” or “feel like a girl” and be in the bathroom and try to touch them. I know trans people.. I take NO issue w them… I do, however, take issue w men saying they’re women just so they can diddle kids, so they can be better in sports… they can oppress us more.. sit down. Put your dick away.
@@cwonderment separate unisex single stall bathrooms with a common sink area is a simpler if more costly alternative, but some of those extra costs result in greater privacy and safety while some cost reduction can come from the common sink area and the lack of a need for a privacy screen wall or double door entrance.

This is so upsetting I can barely control my anger or tears. I can’t even fathom how traumatic this must be for all these girls. Please please stand together and fight for what’s right 🙏🏻 You have a lot of people behind you. People will rally for you as the truth comes out.
It's unbelievable what this girl and her teammates went through. She is an intelligent young woman, I know she'll be a great inspiration in the near future! Stay strong Riley ❤
Not a hero in my eyes. How can you feel sorry for, or admire girls that just allow a man to waltz into their locker room and pull out his member, then get into the same pool as him and compete? If they had a problem with it they should have done something in the moment. It's good to speak against it now but if you went along with it too any degree, your not a hero. If you let someone light a house on fire, your not a hero for trying to put it out, your just doing your job too late
@@The_PennsylvanianYou can’t be serious. She’s a hero because she’s intelligent enough to know when to act something you seem to not understand. She’s a hero to most!
If we took away her youthful aesthetics on video and only had her voice and her composure to go off of, I'd easily accept without thought that this woman was very mature in her 30's or 40's even. The fact that she's so well spoken, so accomplished, and so passionate about all of this at the age of 22....my goodness she has so much potential in her future.
Agreed. I never possessed half that directness and clarity at that age. Barely today. Nor can I even grasp that degree of commitment and competitiveness.
I thought she was slightly younger than me. About 27-30. I didn't reach her level of maturity or coherence until then 😅. When I pause the video and look closely at her face, she appears to be in her early 20's.
@jsfusion06 I think some of it may be delay. If he's abroad then there is a bit of a delay between her speaking and him receiving the sound. That, coupled with his very quick train of thought, probably made a disastrous combination lol. I work in a call center and it's a struggle there as well.
@@libertybell8852 It's also probably because he wants to keep the conversation on very specific topics rather than risk getting off topic or rambling.
Thank you for speaking out! I was never political until recently, but we need to protect our children from this insanity !! So glad someone like you speaking out. Thank you!
I loved this Conversation. The sheer amount of honest Contempt coming out of Jordan was Hilarious to me. I've never seen him get like that, I felt that.
She is so eloquent, grounded and discerning. I know getting entangled in this battle wasn't in her life plan, but I can see why she was chosen to do it. Listening to her just highlights the stark difference between someone like her, and mindless, indoctrinated rabid mob that attacked her.
Two brilliant individuals but I totally agree with your comment regarding too many interruptions, it would be very interesting to hear Jordans view on this constructive criticism?
Never thought of myself as a female rights activist. But. Now more than ever for my daughters and female relatives and friends safety and rights. The world needs more strong people to stand up to the insanity from the “woke mob”. The Fights for women’s rights was long fought and has almost been thrown out over night we all must take a stand. Riley you have mine and many others support. also thanks to Jordan for giving you the platform to speak your mind.
Why? Women are the ones who did this. Let them suffer from their foolishness. The only obligation we have is to protect the innocent children from this madness.
@@combativeThinker my dude, you must be confused. Those big, odd-looking rich "women" institutionalizing this ideology are actually males. I tend to think it's easy to tell... But the research does show that men aren't quite as accurate at sex differentiation as women are. Lipstick and titties is all it takes, eh? Although many of the rich dudes pushing this stuff DO know they're dudes, so I still don't know how you could make that mistake aside from ignorance. Here, I'll help you with some names. This movement is almost entirely funded by the following billionaires: "Jennifer" Pritzker, "Martine" Rothblatt, Soros, the Buffets, Tim Gill, Drummond Pike, Jon Striker, Mark Bonham. This is how it got so far without most of y'all noticing, and why it's so hard to fight today. Powerful. Well-funded. _Men._ Women did notice, by the way, and have been fighting it since before you were born-probably-you just haven't been listening. You're late, buttercup.
You are correct. We need to defend our women's right to be women. Title 9 was all about ensuring that female athletics would be supported at all levels (no $ no sports) and for exceptional performance to be recognized. How does letting an intact male compete against women do either. Title 9 should be applied to the woke, trans, sports competition thing. Perhaps the Supreme Court could answer Matt Walsh's question "What is a Woman?"
What a lovely, articulate, and well reasoned conversation with a woman whose courage is truly inspirational. I pray for great success and a wonderful life for her.
Riley, you are an absolute inspiration in every way. I'm a better 63 year old woman for having heard your testimony. You hit the nail on the head and i agree, they cannot use reason so they resort to violence. God bless you and thank you, Riley and you as well Dr Peterson.

I love how JBP approached this almost like a cross examination but with a smooth, yet kind of style that allowed Riley to answer in a very effective and emotional, yet logical way.. 👏👏
I felt so angry through this entire interview for these women, and I rarely feel anger. But I was also so calmed by Riley's wise, serene, and articulate presence. You go, girl. Thank you for being the kind of woman we need today. We need brave women warriors and you should be so proud that you are standing up and fighting. (And thank you for a great interview, Dr. P., and for your own righteous anger! God bless.)

Do others get the impression that Jordan analyses topics to death by using 20 words whereas 1 or 2 will suffice. We feel happy when we win and unhappy when we lose. We cannot feel happy when we lose and unhappy when we win - that’s human nature and no need to feel guilty about our feelings. Just be graceful to your opponent/opponents in victory and defeat. Boxers are usually a good example of this.
@@thomascoady3782 I agree. Although I'm impressed with Jordan's depth of understanding of complex topics, and his ability to clearly communicate them, I wish he would be more succinct. In some instances, a simple yes/no response from Jordan would be sufficient to keep the conversation moving forward, but the listener and the other participant(s) in the discussion have to put their thoughts on hold for a lengthy detour while Jordan paints his word pictures.
Thank you for speaking up Riley!! As a former collegiate female athlete, it hurts to see Title IV go down the drain with these recent events. Standing up takes a lot of courage and bravery. We are behind you!!
hearing her explain the story of the young hungarian woman lose everything she worked for over the idiocy of men playing women sports hurt my heart… so glad there’s women like Riley to speak out on this unfair situation America has allowed to happen.
exactly the moment I cracked up. Riley is such a strong woman but there are much more vulnerable women like this Hungarian girl which not only are being taken away opportunities but also being traumatized and being told that they are the wrong ones! insane
Riley deserves every accolade imaginable for the way she is standing up to the trans issue. She is a beautiful, intelligent, articulate, amazing young lady, and she is a born leader. I wish the incredible beautiful soul nothing but success at the highest of high levels of everything in life!
@@ginaiannucci it wasn't so many years ago I would have scoffed at any premonition that we would fast approach a time where nearly all women's activities would be beyond the reach of birthing persons. Also that "birthing persons" would be a category taken seriously by people in positions that ought to know better.
Thank you, Riley, for speaking up and speaking out about these injustices. A lot of us (former NCAA athletes) are afraid to speak openly and lose our careers-and by extension, a means to put food on the table-or jeopardize the safety of our families. It’s absolutely deplorable what is happening to Women’s sports. We worked so hard to receive equal funding and opportunity, not long ago, to now have those opportunities and protections stripped away by grown men with mental health issues. I ran Cross Country & Track in the CIAC, and later, XC @ an NCAA D1 school. A few years back, when biological males began racing against girls in the CIAC, taking away opportunities and scholarships, I was dumbfounded. How could they let this happen? My anger turned to profound sadness, and I can recall breaking down into tears just thinking about the psychological harm this was doing to girls as they were preparing for a meet…the courage it takes to go out there when you know you don’t have a chance to PR or medal, that it doesn’t matter that you’re at the top of your game, you’ll never be able to beat those boys. I was captain my senior year of high school. I was faster than the girls, so my coach would sometimes have me practice with the boys so I would have people to pace me….I was slower than 90% of those boys….we trained exactly the same….but men and women are built different. Men are taller, and faster, with longer strides and more lean muscle mass, greater lung capacity….this is all fact.
My niece is running in CIAC. She was ALL-State. By gosh, if she gets beat by a wo(man), I will be pissed!!! I'm going to get out my pen, which is mightier than the sword. 🗡️. This is well-put! Hey do you mind if I paste your account of experience around if the opp presents itself?
You should take this to the court as a group of athletes that have been sacrificing your whole life! Also its been a big job getting women to play sport .
Thank you for giving Riley this opportunity, and also for your willingness to talk to her friend whenever she wants. This issue has now gone beyond the "unfair"stage - it's an outright violation of those young womens' rights. As for Riley, her integrity, composure and courage can only serve as a role model for others.
Great interview! Riley, on behalf of my high school daughter, who is a competitive swimmer, thank you so much for speaking out about this insanity! You are a true inspiration and wonderful role models for girls 🏊♀️
I'm so glad that someone like Riley, who is an extremely successful and talented athlete is speaking up about this. One of the ammunitions/excuses that trans activists use to try to discredit women athletes speaking out is something like "they're not even good at their sport. They're just whining and no matter what they'd lose to anyone regardless if they're trans or not." Can't say that about the talented Riley.
She's only 22 and yet she's so mature and poised. God bless her.
That discipline is what makes her so mature.❤
You can't say the same thing for the people who disagree with her.

You Compare Riley Gaines To a Crazed Woke Red Guard 🇨🇳 Mob?

@mokuba76 Just the opposite - the truth of the matter is:
"You absolutely CANNOT say the same thing for the people who disagree with her."
As Riley and JBP so clearly established in the interview, sports orgs and Univ administrators perpetrating this travesty have behaved in the most devious and cowardly ways.
Hard to believe Riley is only 22 years old. Her maturity and wisdom are way beyond her years.
Fantastic interview!
Poor her-- having to get public psychoanalysis online at 4 AM!
I'm sure she's an extremely smart young lady but you really don't have to be a genius to destroy the Looney tunes position of the left
What makes the idea of somebody being born with a brain of a different gender in their body crazy is the fact that people believe this is a physical reality with no physical evidence. But what makes it extremely even more Looney tunes is a fact not only is there no physical criteria for being transgender there's not even a philosophical criteria.
The only criteria for example for being a transgender woman is saying you are which means absolutely nothing because again there's no criteria for it physical or philosophically which makes the idea of being a transgender woman no more coherent than being ldbkbchknvv.
Kind of telling that we're impressed by someone being mature at 22 when that would have been the expectation a few decades ago.
@@sabishiihito
That’s an excellent point!
My defense is that even I’ve become conditioned by the idiocy from people like 37 year old Megan Rapinoe and the overwhelming pop media to subconsciously lower my standard of excellence.
But remember, both Riley and Megan invested their lives in pursuit of excellence. 22 year old Riley is a damn sight wiser than Megan. That’s also telling.
Riley is a straight, normal female, while Megan is a radical leftist lesbian.
That’s the society we’re in today.
You point is well taken!
She's a looooooser, 0 medals, all she's got left is hate
Thank you for giving Riley the chance to speak the truth! She's an incredibly brave woman and champion for our rights.
Your rights demanded equality of opportunity. This is what men have to do to get equal representation. YOU wanted.
@BoB-th8wm Men have to pretend to be women to get equal representation?
@BoB
Equality of opportunity and Title IX operate in two entirely different spheres.
Which is exactly the point.
@@BoB-th8wm You have the equal opportunity to compete, as a biological man, in male spaces against other men.

She’s so well spoken. It’s hard to believe she’s only 23.
No it’s normal at 23
We have just been lowering a lot our expectations over the past 30 years given the exponential fall of education dahaha
23 is an adult, though. Growing up and critical thinking should be encouraged. There are too many baby adults in the world now.
This is how you are supposed to behave and speak when you arent an entitled twat and your parents raised you correctly.

The "trans" scores should be completely erased from official records. And many college administrators should be summarily fired. Go Riley.
Fired, hell! Those college administrators should be PROSECUTED! And in a true America they would be!

I'm a young female athlete for running and soccer and i have watched as a highschool aged male won state over a senior girl. He ran across the finish line without even breathing hard. Its horrible to know that in the fear of being called transphobic or a horrible person is allowing these men to affect our sports. This needs to be stopped. I hope to be as strong as Riley Gaines
We should allow a woman (like Colleen Balinger) to compete in a drag show and win. How angry they would all be...
Go get em!!!
Well, you're part way there to figuring out the problem.
You are correct about some of the biology - that top athletic performance is usually male dominated. That's the dumb feminist lie you're arguing against.
The part that you're missing is the dumb conservative lie. The way the biology of sex works is a little more complicated than putting everyone in a man or woman category.
It turns out, there's all kinds of diversity when it comes to sex. It's more of a spectrum, and it's a little arbitrary where to decide to draw the line in many cases.
The punchline being, when you decided to divide up society into men's sports and women's sports, and you drew that arbitrary line on that spectrum of sex, what you did is pretty much guarantee that the women closest to the line were the ones that were going to have advantages in that sport.
Which is how it works in real life.
Yet another expose of sexism! This time sexism from both conservatives AND feminists!
The better question is how to handle sports scholarships, which is why the question about who qualifies for women's sports is relevant.
Personally, I think there's way too much emphasis on performance, and not nearly enough emphasis on discipline. If a highschooler has an outstanding fitness routine, but they're not particularly good at any one sport, I think that person should be getting the scholarship. And, someone who's uber talented, wins every event, but doesn't train very hard, that person should not be eligible for scholarship.
We shouldn't be trying to give scholarships to potential pro athletes, we should be trying to give scholarships to potential personal trainers and physical educators. That means how you play the game is the most important part.
Which furthers my analysis of the problem. Stop trying to divide people by sex or race! It just creates way too many issues, and the people trying to do it never really think it through.
@@ywtcc yeah that will exactly kills women sports we never watch. dont devide it. let trans women and men compete eachother. i bet leah thomas will lead the mob who wants women sports back.
@@omerfidan892 My point is anyone that puts in the work should be eligible for the scholarship.
For most amateur competitions, the winning isn't why people are involved.
I think you're being really immature, by focusing so much on who's winning meaningless amateur athletics competitions. It's clearly the practice and preparation that's the important part.
For my daughter’s future and the entire next generation in America, I am so glad there are intelligent, strong, morally upright and SANE individuals like Riley Gaines and Jordan Peterson out there in the public discourse

Because he is a clinician. He l.i.s.t.e.n.s with purpose
Thanks Riley and Jordan for speaking out. I'm a University lecturer myself and the bullshit and insanity is all around.
I was born into BS and insanity - I was able to overcome it by learning how to think rationally first, which is no easy task for anyone, and I thankfully had the luxury of a full decade to search for a solution that didn't work just for my own benefit. I found it important to articulate answers that inspire me to the "hard why" questions. Why do people seek coercive power? Why do people play the monolithic hierarchy game when it's not in their best interest to do so? Why can't the masses, i.e. people with a strong inferiority complex and/or highly emotional thought process, realize that they are harming themselves by not supporting the rational thinking people who they feel inferior to, and instead supporting con artists who use them as footstools for coercive power over the rational people - the people who would help them under a better hierarchy.
A woman is woman genetically, biologically is solely fact based, sound, cold, straight forward, hard truth biology. Humans as a species are mammals .
A mammal, like elephants, canines, felines, whales etc etc. Do we ever see a male elephant wandering around pretending to be a female elephant, or wanting to mate with another Male ??
Or are there any canine bitches running around pretending to be a male dog ?? Are there any male Blue Whales swimming around in the oceans, pursuing and looking for another MALE Blue Whale to mate with ?? NO, NEVER. This craziness has however everything to do with subjective, abstract, non logical, irrational, emotions, imaginations, sexual and non sexual fantasies, illusions, delusions of the psyche, some irrational retrograde (go back to old Rome or Babylon) philosophy and feelings, lots and lots of feelings and imaginations and non logic Fantasies; in someones head. That's okay, fine, if it's in someones head but, and this is a BUT the size of all universes out there, what bugs me is that people are just not intelligent, gutsy, rational, logical enough to admit that. Just admit and say, "I want to publicly live out my irrational, sexual role play fantasies" and at least have some logic and guts and stop dragging, fact based, hard, cold truth, biology and genetics into this.

You are correct except for one thing - I think that she is backed over a million. Many are just too frightened to speak out based on Riley's own experience.
I agree. Riley, don't bother with dentistry. You have a much greater calling than that. We need you and other women like you, to stand up and be true leaders for women on a global level, to counter the Greta Thunbergs, and the insidiously destructive corrosion of the trans movement. Girls and women need role models who are genuinely female, and who understand what that's like in a way that only they can. There's no need for a war between men and women, we were designed to be complimentary and you clearly understand that, and can be a voice for that. Understanding and communication can overcome ignorance and division, but as with all things competitive, there needs to be those individuals with the unique abilities necessary to light the path and show the way. Not everyone has those abilities or can do that, but you clearly do.
It looks like God has already set your feet on this path, much the same way he set Jordan's feet on his path. Neither of you were looking or asking for it, but if you are willing and accept the calling, God will be with you. Get close to him in prayer, and ask him for whatever it is you will need to be what he is calling you to be. He will grant you what you need. Do it with him, and you will succeed.
MILLIONS!!! 👏✊
We have men and women, simple. If they now think we have something in the middle call trans ,then they have to create only trans competition. We are women period without any prefix .

These are crazy times we find ourselves in. Riley is brave and she's right. Thanks for this Jordan. Such a great interviewer!
I am amazed that this craziness is accepted as normal. I admire Riley for her bravery. She is
an intelligent articulate voice for these times.
As a former swimmer myself, I know for a fact that sport is so freaking challenging and there is a good reason why males and females compete separately. If even arguably one of the top female swimmers can be beat by a lower tier biological male, then no other women have a chance. Say goodbye to women’s sports as we know it and any scholarships going to biological females.
I’m also a former collegiate swimmer. Men and women can’t even share lanes during practice. I remember other women on my team couldn’t stand the slowest guy on the team, because he would insist on sharing a lane with us, even though he would always lap us.
Swimming is a brutal sport. I remember committing around 5 hours a day for practices during the swim season and going to lecture with wet hair and ice packs saran wrapped to my shoulders. To train like that for months all for your opportunities to be stolen from you by a faux woman is vile.
This exactly. It is taking away opportunities away from women. Next they will take away something else, just on how they can be a better woman than a natural woman. And we’ll be forced to continually accept that men are superior in all things (and I mean all things) That’s where this feels like it is going
Even as a recreational level:
a) All athletes start somewhere, often grassroots & recreational.
b) We KNOW females drop out of sport in puberty & rarely return, leading to (arguably) worsened physical & mental health. All this will only further push women out of sport because what is the point when the chance of tangible reward is reduced? Also some women of religious faiths cannot swim/be undressed with men, they NEED female-only recreational swim groups for example.
Swimming is so unnatural for human so no wonder it's so damn hard. Our cousins the apes they straight up sink and die in water.
I don’t care about sports whatsoever…but I have a problem when men can be a women and get pregnant…this is crazy…and God knew human beings are destroyed from within and evils…many people can’t even make $5/day in some countries, many people don’t even have foods and water…and we are here talking about sports and sex transgender…many idiots need to go to hell….ruin many lives…especially young students and kids…I hope people wake up…and slap those idiots in the face….enough is enough…Peace…
Bravo, Riley. You have many people out there supporting you in your fight against this gender nonsense that now pervades everything. Keep up the great work.
Agreed! This world is going downhill fast…..
My sister also trained to swim competitively from a young age.
The effort wasn't just hers. She needed to be taken to the swimming pool every day at 6am, while the rest of us are still in bed, and she needed to be picked up again when done. For years.
Unless you have witnessed the incredible amount of effort that women like Riley go to, you won't really understand how much people like me hate (yes, hate is the right word), cheats like Thomas.
So when I've seen Thomas interviewed, justifying his position, it makes me want to punch him in the face.
Ironically though, he is a 6ft 4in bloke, who could wipe the floor with me, or any other normal guy, without breaking into a sweat.
Why aren't the audience booing these cheats seems every one commenting supports her but aren't doing anything a whole audience booing would soon stop these cheats
It is amazing how retarded our society has become that we have to seriously discuss this. Men who insist on going into women's changerooms should be arrested and charged. Men who attempt to compete in women's sports should be summarily booted out of the competition and removed by force if necessary.
I agree! As hard as this is for me to say this, gay marriage shouldn’t have been allowed. However, people shouldn’t be allowed to identify as both male and female. Biological gender should only be the way you identify.
Women support and vote for this ideology at a significantly higher rate than men.
@@crosstatt7441full of hate. Go in russia or an island. Trans women were and are women and gay marriage is better
@@TheMattTrakkerbecause they have empathy
Cis hetero women should go to your changingrooms
Total respect for Riley and JP. Such a good honest conversation that shows how ridiculous this is: Narcissists, Frauds.
Yes! I have been recognizing for a while that many trans people exhibit narcissistic behavior. So glad that more people are taking this perspective. Once you see it, you can't unsee it!
I also think of society at large in the US and Canada (and other places) operating as a dysfunctional family system where
- the people in charge (enablers) aren't protecting the most vulnerable (often because of their own shameless behavior)
- put the "Golden Child" ahead of others (the Narc),
- attempt to sweep the abuse and dysfunction under the rug or cover it up
- while gaslighting truth tellers while labelling them as the black sheep (or problem child)
Tell the truth. Stay strong. We got you.
Absolutely!! 👍
He was very verbal about it. He seemed way more triggered than her.
Hell, any human with a common sense should be.
My 60 year old mom was just couldn’t believe a dude was swimming against a woman.
My 75 year old dad didn’t even want to talk about it. He said literally “send the asteroid”
LOL
@@Deimonos85
God dayuuuum. Your dad scored someone 15 years younger than them lol.
You’re so right! Which is why transgenderism and even thoughts of it, should not exist.
I don't know how many 16 year olds listen to your podcasts, but for me, these have saved me from things i can't even name. Thank you Jordan. I really want to be like you some day.
Good job, keep it up. I'm proud of young people like you, the world needs you!
Her talent, her work ethic, above all her COURAGE gives me goosebumps. THIS is what stunning and brave looks like. We are behind you Riley!!
My daughter is a young swimmer and these young girls are watching our female athletes for cues. All girls and women deserve a fair athletic playing field.
I’m so sorry what happened to her? This is really horrible this transgender stuff totally evil.
Good point.
To lift a phrase from the trans-activists - Riley is actually "stunning and brave".
Yes. But the courage of PeterAndrewNolan does not give you goosebumps.
Women are equal. So women+ playing women's sports is perfectly OK.
But men and boys do not even deserve the protection of the law. You are a s3xist.
Arent we blessed to listen to this conversation between two amazing human beings?
I’ve been aware of this story since it broke and I was outraged at the time, but I’ve watched this carefully - it can not be underestimated how important this interview is - as a woman (I refuse to call myself cis - I am simply a woman) I completely empathise with this young woman and applaud her bravery to stand against something that is so fundamental to our society. I have 2 daughters, and unless women like this continue to join the battle I fear for their future. Fantastic piece of content - as a woman I find it deeply upsetting, demoralising and offensive that after decades of fighting for our rights, our needs, our fears and our achievements are cast aside in this way. #keep women’s sports female ❤
I don't say 'cis' either, just woman. Yes, to everything you are saying.
I am woman, too.
As a man I’m sorry we allowed this kind of stuff to happen. It’s our job to protect you girls from all harm no matter what our relationship is. As a man my primal instincts just tell me this is wrong and I want to help and make sure all women are safe and have their rights and privacy protected. Being polite and not speaking up is what allowed this to get out of control and the only way to fix it is to speak up and potentially offending people on the left. They are clearly comfortable with offending others so why should we be concerned about their feelings?
@@boardmeetingsofficial feelings don't matter to me when it comes to any of this crazy stuff. Thanks for having our backs. It's all we can hope for at this point.
NEVER use the radical’s language. It only encourages them and normal does their mad ideas.
No such thing as Cis, no such thing as a trans woman or trans man.
Sorry for the genuine intersex people, but that’s a totally different thing to these claims of the far left/woke progressive loons.
A conversation we shouldn’t even be having. Big salute to Riley.
Riley the loser like Trump😂😂
I am glad that there are brave people like Dr. Peterson and Riley Gaines talking about this!
Talk IS Cheap.
We Need ACTION To Permanently BAN All Trans In Womens Sports!
Great Scott, society has become unsustainable. Absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. If we don't end this madness, this madness will end us...
I have not heard a person this young be so articulate, let alone so accomplished, and I raised 4 sharp adults and employ many of them. THANK YOU RILEY and JP for fighting for women’s sports! I have told my kids that if they were going into Jr or Sr year when “covid” happened I would have ended up in prison, I would have been so EXTRA angry. You’re an inspiration, Ms Riley. Don’t quit! Doesn’t sound like that’s in your DNA anyway.
you're a total babe
What an amazing woman. What an incredible role model for girls everywhere.
I'm a 54 y/o father of two and I am utterly floored by this lady's life story. Keep up the good fight, Riley.
We all need to join the fight--time is now to stop being passivists, LGBTQ's and the Universities are EVIL and we need to fight against them.
Yeah, I was impressed at 23:23 she talked about accountability and women taking any criticism personally.
She was spot on.
Women absolutely hate accountability and anything said to the negatively… wow the whining always start.
She is very aware for her age
You are painting with a broad brush fam... not all women are like that, just like men are not all paragons of maturity.
@@Undomaranel If you believe in the central limit theorem (i.e. normal curve) then you must admit a high percentage fall into being just that... I get it nobody likes being lumped together, but statistically most are.. just facts!
@@werkzeugmann6224only if "curve" includes all women & all men! A sampling is not true facts, numbers are skewed!
I've been following Riley's story and fight for a bit, and I'm so glad to see her standing up for my daughter's safety and sports!
She is so articulate. Bravo! Thank you Riley for speaking the truth.
She is right over the target. Men should not be in women’s locker rooms in the name of inclusiveness. Don’t stop, Riley! Tell your story.
The problem is that men now can identify with whatever and they are accepted.
Transgender advocates are definitely suffering from mental health problems!
@@mikatu That’s ridiculous! That should be illegal against the law, and these people need to be locked up in a mental asylum same with confused women who do the same thing! Also, you can’t do any these things outside of America other countries are completely against it
sure, but if the women want to come over to the mens locker room I have no problem with that ;)
So impressed with how intelligent and well-spoken Riley Gaines is. I pray she and other female athletes like her prevail against this violent woke madness.
just pray ?
?
Not to take away from Ms. Gaines, but she is a college-educated woman. Anything else but being intelligent and well-spoken to some degree should be a given.
@@givmi_more_w9251you would think that should be the case but alas! 'Tis untrue!
You can hear the distress in Riley's voice as she relives these events. She is the brave one.
she absolutely needs to publish the names, positions, and quotes of the people who betrayed the women. these people should be known to the public.
Her description of that "gut punch" moment, that other woman seeing her work and accomplishments stripped away, moved me to tears. I can't even imagine the frustration. "We got around that by making the locker room unisex." What an absolute serpent. The people involved in that decision and the enforcement of it are scum and should be ashamed, the spineless cretins.
I applaud you both for speaking out about this.
Such a perfect description of snakes among os
What i don’t understand is the people who say it’s okay for men to compete against women if they say they’re a woman, are not athletes. I bet a very high majority if not exclusively all athletes will agree that it is unfair for men to compete against women. Look at the clip of Venus (or Serena) Williams after they played that one dude tennis player who was like number 206 in world and lost , they said they don’t want to compete against men because they’ll be embarrassed. (I hope that made sense).
I agree. Locker rooms should be separated. Public norms demand rest areas/rooms are given the right to protect their privacy in public spaces. The Only time I agree with restroom changes was when a "family" restroom was added to help parents traveling with children that needed that benefit publicly to bring the opposite sexed child into a closed private area.
The thing that terrifies me, as a mother of 2 girls, that some weirdo will say they’re “trans” or “feel like a girl” and be in the bathroom and try to touch them. I know trans people.. I take NO issue w them… I do, however, take issue w men saying they’re women just so they can diddle kids, so they can be better in sports… they can oppress us more.. sit down. Put your dick away.
@@cwonderment separate unisex single stall bathrooms with a common sink area is a simpler if more costly alternative, but some of those extra costs result in greater privacy and safety while some cost reduction can come from the common sink area and the lack of a need for a privacy screen wall or double door entrance.
I love Jordan Peterson and how he interviews. Everyone else cuts straight to the chase, but he asks these amazing questions that lead up to everything
He's quite the rambler
@@mdaddy775 I wouldn't call it rambling. They're pretty good/important questions
@@captainvinno Meant it in a good sense!
@Ozsportscard Collector 2.5 ah yes. Definitely. I love the one with the AI scientist. Asks amazing yet probing questions and as it turns out the should have some psychologists helping the AI scientists when they make AI
Agreed! He is putting in the necessary legwork to eatablish a proper context and eliminate the gray area. Long winded as it may be, it reduces the gray area behind which so much crap hides in the arguments of the oppositon.
This is so upsetting I can barely control my anger or tears. I can’t even fathom how traumatic this must be for all these girls. Please please stand together and fight for what’s right 🙏🏻 You have a lot of people behind you. People will rally for you as the truth comes out.
No trauma at all.
They are equal as we have been told.
They must be happy
Ah, I agree completely but, they're swimmers and you said "fathom" I can't help it, laughed
It's unbelievable what this girl and her teammates went through. She is an intelligent young woman, I know she'll be a great inspiration in the near future! Stay strong Riley ❤
I think the fact that she is an athlete is a foundation for her confidence, courage and perseverance. Womens’ sports are important to women!!!
She’s a hero , and if we live through this , the history books will show it.
Not a hero in my eyes. How can you feel sorry for, or admire girls that just allow a man to waltz into their locker room and pull out his member, then get into the same pool as him and compete? If they had a problem with it they should have done something in the moment. It's good to speak against it now but if you went along with it too any degree, your not a hero. If you let someone light a house on fire, your not a hero for trying to put it out, your just doing your job too late
@@The_PennsylvanianYou can’t be serious. She’s a hero because she’s intelligent enough to know when to act something you seem to not understand. She’s a hero to most!
@@hoodhippychick Agreed, you can't expect a student athlete to do something when every coach, school administrator, and the entire NCAA won't.
If we took away her youthful aesthetics on video and only had her voice and her composure to go off of, I'd easily accept without thought that this woman was very mature in her 30's or 40's even. The fact that she's so well spoken, so accomplished, and so passionate about all of this at the age of 22....my goodness she has so much potential in her future.
I thought she was 30 years old 😅
@@Sentarry Her maturity sure seems to be 30 years old.
Agreed. I never possessed half that directness and clarity at that age. Barely today. Nor can I even grasp that degree of commitment and competitiveness.
100% agreed
I thought she was slightly younger than me. About 27-30. I didn't reach her level of maturity or coherence until then 😅. When I pause the video and look closely at her face, she appears to be in her early 20's.
JB's steering of the conversation transitioning between points is just amazing
I LOVE Riley, but often times the interviewers ask such stupid questions, FINALLY she gets a great interviewer in JP. THANK YOU BOTH❤
Agree - although I’d like to see him let her answer the questions without first inserting his….
@@marykirby5736 Yes. I hate how he interrupts her mid-sentence. It's infuriating to be talked over. PLEASE let people finish their thoughts!
@jsfusion06 I think some of it may be delay. If he's abroad then there is a bit of a delay between her speaking and him receiving the sound. That, coupled with his very quick train of thought, probably made a disastrous combination lol.
I work in a call center and it's a struggle there as well.
@@libertybell8852 It's also probably because he wants to keep the conversation on very specific topics rather than risk getting off topic or rambling.
It's Jordan Peterson .. the man is smart
Thank you for speaking out! I was never political until recently, but we need to protect our children from this insanity !! So glad someone like you speaking out. Thank you!
MOST Of Life's Problems ARE Political In One Way Or Another.
Such a brave woman. Thank you, Dr. Peterson for giving a platform for her voice. It needs to be heard. It must be heard.
I loved this Conversation. The sheer amount of honest Contempt coming out of Jordan was Hilarious to me. I've never seen him get like that, I felt that.
Just the kind of a young inspirational leader we need in today's world! Absolutely adore Riley. More power to this amazing woman.
She is so eloquent, grounded and discerning. I know getting entangled in this battle wasn't in her life plan, but I can see why she was chosen to do it. Listening to her just highlights the stark difference between someone like her, and mindless, indoctrinated rabid mob that attacked her.
Riley Gaines is a great example of how to handle a mob and keep fighting.
Yes and Dr Judean Peterstein has done good work
@@malikialgeriankabyleswag4200 ???
Jordan. I love you. Please stop interrupting your guests. 😔 kudos to these women for finally stepping up and fighting back!
Two brilliant individuals but I totally agree with your comment regarding too many interruptions, it would be very interesting to hear Jordans view on this constructive criticism?
Never thought of myself as a female rights activist. But. Now more than ever for my daughters and female relatives and friends safety and rights. The world needs more strong people to stand up to the insanity from the “woke mob”. The Fights for women’s rights was long fought and has almost been thrown out over night we all must take a stand. Riley you have mine and many others support. also thanks to Jordan for giving you the platform to speak your mind.
Thank you. It’s really a fight for common sense, truth and reality, but I, as a woman, appreciate you.
Where are the other female athletes standing beside her to stand firm on this madness taking over their sports? Come on ladies where are you?
Why? Women are the ones who did this. Let them suffer from their foolishness. The only obligation we have is to protect the innocent children from this madness.
@@combativeThinker my dude, you must be confused. Those big, odd-looking rich "women" institutionalizing this ideology are actually males. I tend to think it's easy to tell... But the research does show that men aren't quite as accurate at sex differentiation as women are. Lipstick and titties is all it takes, eh? Although many of the rich dudes pushing this stuff DO know they're dudes, so I still don't know how you could make that mistake aside from ignorance.
Here, I'll help you with some names. This movement is almost entirely funded by the following billionaires:
"Jennifer" Pritzker, "Martine" Rothblatt, Soros, the Buffets, Tim Gill, Drummond Pike, Jon Striker, Mark Bonham.
This is how it got so far without most of y'all noticing, and why it's so hard to fight today. Powerful. Well-funded. _Men._ Women did notice, by the way, and have been fighting it since before you were born-probably-you just haven't been listening. You're late, buttercup.
You are correct. We need to defend our women's right to be women. Title 9 was all about ensuring that female athletics would be supported at all levels (no $ no sports) and for exceptional performance to be recognized. How does letting an intact male compete against women do either. Title 9 should be applied to the woke, trans, sports competition thing. Perhaps the Supreme Court could answer Matt Walsh's question "What is a Woman?"
What a lovely, articulate, and well reasoned conversation with a woman whose courage is truly inspirational. I pray for great success and a wonderful life for her.
Riley, you are an absolute inspiration in every way. I'm a better 63 year old woman for having heard your testimony. You hit the nail on the head and i agree, they cannot use reason so they resort to violence. God bless you and thank you, Riley and you as well Dr Peterson.
I have no problem with people being whatever they want to be, but keep it to yourself and don’t expect the world to cater to your choices. Love and support from 🇨🇦 Riley, never back down we have your back! And thank you Jordan for all your hard work, you are Canada’s greatest treasure! ❤️Alberta
We’re with you Riley. Keep being brave. Keep telling the truth ❤
Moved me to tears, the injustice, the absolute arrogance and betrayal of the authorities and the system towards these honest sportswomen.
She is an incredible role model for all women and girls!
lol yo mini Gregs its Mac B. haha I can't believe randomly RUclips comment on this video haha. glad you are fighting the good fight ;)
I love how JBP approached this almost like a cross examination but with a smooth, yet kind of style that allowed Riley to answer in a very effective and emotional, yet logical way..
👏👏
I felt so angry through this entire interview for these women, and I rarely feel anger. But I was also so calmed by Riley's wise, serene, and articulate presence. You go, girl. Thank you for being the kind of woman we need today. We need brave women warriors and you should be so proud that you are standing up and fighting. (And thank you for a great interview, Dr. P., and for your own righteous anger! God bless.)
Nina M, you're a woman and rightly so felt angry. WHERE ARE THOSE TOUGH FEMINIST WHO WERE SO VOCAL AND FOUGHT SO HARD WHEN IT COUNTED? IF THEY DON'T SPEAK UP NOW, IT WAS ALL FOR NOTHING. BASICALLY THEY ARE OK WITH THE FACT THAT A MAN CAN NOW DICTATE TO WOMEN, WHAT TO DO AND HOW TO FEEL.....
THE BALL IS IN YOUR HANDS LADIES, PLAY IT AS YOU WISH.. BUT DON'T COME AND COMPLAIN AFTERWARDS..
What's also needed is some fairly spacious mental institutions
Thank you Riley for speaking up for us women. Very brave of you.
I'm listening from Australia. Thank you Riley. I'm sorry for what you've had to endure. You are a legend for speaking out. More power to you.
Australia, please join us in not supporting InBev-Anheuser-Busch. The boycott against all Anheuser-Busch products is actually not about beer and is not about trying to label Dylan as a the villain in the situation. It is much bigger. It is a way for the silent majority to be heard. The majority needs to take a stand on protecting women's sports, protecting women's private spaces from male intrusion and to protect children from indoctrination/gahroomeng.

I am so thankful for people being willing to share their stories. Her story of the mob is so frightening.
The strength of character this young woman has is formidable. We’re so blessed to have her voice on this. Thank you, Riley! 🙏
Do others get the impression that Jordan analyses topics to death by using 20 words whereas 1 or 2 will suffice. We feel happy when we win and unhappy when we lose. We cannot feel happy when we lose and unhappy when we win - that’s human nature and no need to feel guilty about our feelings. Just be graceful to your opponent/opponents in victory and defeat. Boxers are usually a good example of this.
@@thomascoady3782 I agree. Although I'm impressed with Jordan's depth of understanding of complex topics, and his ability to clearly communicate them, I wish he would be more succinct. In some instances, a simple yes/no response from Jordan would be sufficient to keep the conversation moving forward, but the listener and the other participant(s) in the discussion have to put their thoughts on hold for a lengthy detour while Jordan paints his word pictures.
Thank you for speaking up Riley!! As a former collegiate female athlete, it hurts to see Title IV go down the drain with these recent events. Standing up takes a lot of courage and bravery. We are behind you!!
Absolutely infuriating! When this lady worked so hard and was robbed.of her goal. ⁷
hearing her explain the story of the young hungarian woman lose everything she worked for over the idiocy of men playing women sports hurt my heart… so glad there’s women like Riley to speak out on this unfair situation America has allowed to happen.
Well the last time i checked women are supporting this idiocy
exactly the moment I cracked up. Riley is such a strong woman but there are much more vulnerable women like this Hungarian girl which not only are being taken away opportunities but also being traumatized and being told that they are the wrong ones! insane
Riley deserves every accolade imaginable for the way she is standing up to the trans issue. She is a beautiful, intelligent, articulate, amazing young lady, and she is a born leader. I wish the incredible beautiful soul nothing but success at the highest of high levels of everything in life!
Wow. What Lia thomas’ teammates went through is criminal. Serious manipulation and abuse. Riley is a damn hero
What’s crazy is this isn’t pandering. This is a govt policy of the highest order.
Riley is women of the year for me. This video should go viral!! Please.
Unfortunately those awards don’t go to real women anymore.
@@ginaiannucci it wasn't so many years ago I would have scoffed at any premonition that we would fast approach a time where nearly all women's activities would be beyond the reach of birthing persons. Also that "birthing persons" would be a category taken seriously by people in positions that ought to know better.
I actually think she would be the most perfect candidate for woman of the year!
Thank you Riley and Jordan for having her on. She is an amazing example for all of us.
In addition to her story, Riley is so mature and well spoken carrying herself so well, good job.
Thank you, Riley, for speaking up and speaking out about these injustices. A lot of us (former NCAA athletes) are afraid to speak openly and lose our careers-and by extension, a means to put food on the table-or jeopardize the safety of our families. It’s absolutely deplorable what is happening to Women’s sports. We worked so hard to receive equal funding and opportunity, not long ago, to now have those opportunities and protections stripped away by grown men with mental health issues.
I ran Cross Country & Track in the CIAC, and later, XC @ an NCAA D1 school. A few years back, when biological males began racing against girls in the CIAC, taking away opportunities and scholarships, I was dumbfounded. How could they let this happen? My anger turned to profound sadness, and I can recall breaking down into tears just thinking about the psychological harm this was doing to girls as they were preparing for a meet…the courage it takes to go out there when you know you don’t have a chance to PR or medal, that it doesn’t matter that you’re at the top of your game, you’ll never be able to beat those boys.
I was captain my senior year of high school. I was faster than the girls, so my coach would sometimes have me practice with the boys so I would have people to pace me….I was slower than 90% of those boys….we trained exactly the same….but men and women are built different. Men are taller, and faster, with longer strides and more lean muscle mass, greater lung capacity….this is all fact.
My niece is running in CIAC. She was ALL-State. By gosh, if she gets beat by a wo(man), I will be pissed!!! I'm going to get out my pen, which is mightier than the sword. 🗡️. This is well-put! Hey do you mind if I paste your account of experience around if the opp presents itself?
You should take this to the court as a group of athletes that have been sacrificing your whole life! Also its been a big job getting women to play sport .
Thank you for giving Riley this opportunity, and also for your willingness to talk to her friend whenever she wants. This issue has now gone beyond the "unfair"stage - it's an outright violation of those young womens' rights. As for Riley, her integrity, composure and courage can only serve as a role model for others.
Great interview! Riley, on behalf of my high school daughter, who is a competitive swimmer, thank you so much for speaking out about this insanity! You are a true inspiration and wonderful role models for girls 🏊♀️
Thank you BOTH for your voices of reason‼️
This is a strong and courageous woman, that is worthy of being celebrated.
Not the soft ball interview I was expecting. Jordan is amazing - he'll be remembered in 200 years.
You have our support Riley, thank you so much for speaking out. You're a hero in our eyes. And well done Jordan; a truly important interview.
I'm so glad that someone like Riley, who is an extremely successful and talented athlete is speaking up about this. One of the ammunitions/excuses that trans activists use to try to discredit women athletes speaking out is something like "they're not even good at their sport. They're just whining and no matter what they'd lose to anyone regardless if they're trans or not." Can't say that about the talented Riley.
