The fact that we are actually debating these matters is quite unbelievable.
It's pretty hilarious. What has the world come to.
Exactly they wasting time about a very simple problem.
@@shadysorkin9214Not hilarious, it's more like Sad and infuriating.
Democrats and their antics. It never ends with these divisive people.
@@zippyzipster46 You do realise that what you said is divisive in itself? We need to stop this us v them mentality in all quarters. It's juvenile at best, downright destructive at worst..
What a great job Riley Gaines is doing defending, and speaking up for women’s rights.
Fifth place loser didn't get a trophy, poor baby, we should all get participation trophies amirite?
@@NunYabiznass-hd6dj No. You’re not. It’s sad that you flood the comment section with your bullshit. Thinking you’re clever. When you’re about as clever as a hemorrhoid.
@@NunYabiznass-hd6djshe does not whinge about 5th place. Get your facts right. She is fighting to keep woman's sports for women. Trans women are men and they SHOULD NOT be able to compete against woman and worse using the same changing rooms as woman. THEY ARE MEN WHO THINK TGEY ARE WOMEN.
@@NunYabiznass-hd6dj
@@NunYabiznass-hd6dj You're into chicks with dicks, you don't get anything but a laugh from the rest of us 🤣
The class Mrs Gaines has displayed since this case was brought to the public's attention is tremendous. Never a mean word, nothing demeaning, just pure class.
Yes, our government, culture, and American systems are excellent at ruining the lives of classy individuals such as herself.
That’s why she will be taught in schools and sexist lunatics fighting her will be forgotten
love your post. agree completely. She is strong, effective leader.
Her calmness is 🔥.
Because she knows she's making sense of everything.
That’s the word I’ve been looking for to describe how she’s handled this whole thing - pure class.
WOW just WOW.
What a woman. Her words will go down in the history books.
Brilliant.
She and other young Women were forced to undress in front of a 6'4" MAN! I cannot imagine the anxiety and stress those Ladies felt.
You’re absolutely right. There have been only a few people through out history that have taken such a brave stance against indoctrination and violence. I’m all for people being whoever they want to be. There are infinite personalities but only 2 genders. When it comes to professional competitions it needs to be kept fair and balanced. Men vs men and women vs women.
There are no trans women. They are called Men.
THIS Ive stopped using the word
A FUCKINGMEN!! It’s called FACTS!!!!
👍
And they have men plumbing.
A dress does not make you a woman.. they are Men 100%.. and one day a man will show this freak what a man does to these things... They have made us hate these trans for the forced ways that should never be.. man woman..
Riely Gaines is a woman. A strong, intelligent, well spoken, impressive woman. I admire this woman!
well spoken. She is brilliantly articulated! Very clever...
@RyanHolmanNetwork I mean you have by one side one woman answering every question a very articulated, and on the other side someone that avoid every single question by repeating the same precept on and on.
If you are more impressed by the second one, you are pretty much the hater, but not of other people. Hater of fact that aren't going in your direction. But facts don't care about personal feelings.
@RyanHolmanNetwork
What irrational hatred? I'm showing love for a woman, standing up for women. Men don't belong in women's sports. What's truly irrational, is pretending a man is a woman, and letting him destroy sporting events with his unfair biological advantage. Biology is real, and there is no argument against this fact, that has any sane valid points. No need to reply.. I've already cancelled you. Have a good evening!
She's using it to her advantage, about to make tons of money
@RyanHolmanNetwork consensus? The only data you can find is that they indeed observe transgenderism, and are studying it. But there is literally no other finding on the topic to date. If fact where absolute, there wouldn't any debate.
Also, I don't have anything against transgender per se, but I personally understand much better transexual.
That being said, it doesn't matter whoever identify as what, but it does really matter if the T community make it only about them, without care for other people that are a vaste majority. And that part is genuinely upsetting.
People who publicly thrive for open mindness and acceptance, cannot stand other way of thinking. Sounds very discriminatory to me.
The vaste majority of my community is gay (because artists, you know): almost all of them aren't LGBT anymore, because they feel betrayed and stained. Are they discriminatory? Or something is indeed not quite right? And It's not an isolated phenomenon. It's everywhere and growing. But it's not in the trend so why talking about it?
GayAgainstGroomers and TransAgainstGroomers represent together 350k community, and fastly growing... Are they discriminatory?
Let's stop this absolute non-sense.
Riley Gaines needs to run for office. What an impressive person.
No she does not she swims, she is trying for a spot in politics and she wants to vote for desantis not good...
I'd contribute time and money if she did!
No she doesn't. There's no room in politics for classy and honest people.
@@Backdraft851 she may be single issue voter or the potician who she ultimately votes for has more things shes agrees with than not.
DeSantis is probably the greatest governor anywhere in America in my lifetime, and a great supporter of women’s sports. I have no problem with Riley supporting him.
Why are men allowed in a Adult Woman’s locker Room??? This is absolutely not Right!!!
Not only adult.
This is not 'Transphobia' - She's clearly pointing out the absolutely ridiculous thing happening - she has worked her whole life to get to the top of the female league, only to be expected to compete alongside a biological male. People have the right to do whatever they want to their own bodies, but not wipe out the achievements of biological women in the process ❤
BAM! So well said! Thank you❤ I just can't believe what is happening here...
100% CORRECT
1000 % agreed 👍
Well Said
@@zariballard❤😅oppoooooroeoooo
how any female could vote Democrat after all this is beyond me. it is sickening, and embarrassing.
Ok let's break it down
1.she claims biological men are physically advantaged over biological women
2. She TIED with that "physically advantaged" person
3. They both got FIFTH PLACE, meaning the "physically advantaged" person lost to four biological women who are "physically disadvantaged" compared to them
Why are ppl falling for this political stunt?
Shouldn't she be ecstatic that she TIED a person she claims has a biological advantage over her?
They are too "emotional" to focus on the issues.
And how could we vote republican when they wont let doctors treat us when we are carrying dead fetuses until we get sepisis and are on our deathbeds? No party loves women. Women hate is eternal.
@@keithhanisek2465 keith i think youll ind men and their anger are the more emotional species. How many females have done a mass shooting? You could count them on your hand. Bc women above all can control themselves like men cannot.
1 word: "Brainwashing"
"Someone with male gaze" is so perfectly put. Riley did a great job! I am so proud of her. Thank you, Riley.
WHAT ABOUT FEMALE GAZE LIKE ALL THE FEMALE REPORTERS NOT WAITING FOR THE N.F.L. PLAYERS TO EMERGE FROM THE DRESSING ROOM FOR AN INTERVIEW. THEY WERE STORMING THE LOCKER ROOMS WHILE THE PLAYERS SHOWERED...HAHAHA
@@woody3590just as inappropriate. Where do you see women fighting for that to be ok?
Male gaze? What if the trans women in the locker room underwent bottom surgery? Would that still be considered “male gaze” when they now have a female part?
@@buried4430they will never have a female part
@@buried4430 they don't have a female part & never will. The person Riley is referring to, is still intact.
I love how objective she is when she says "there's selfishness and narcissism surrounding this person".
More female athletes need to stand up. She is brave and proud. Someone America should be proud of.
The problem most college level female athletes support Transgenders competing via their professors and media agenda's this included Riley at one point. UNTIL she was beaten out by a transgender male. Thing is until people start accepting reality that a man can not be a woman and vise versa this won't stop and only those who have something taken from them by this craziness will eventually see this isn't about hurting someone's feelings, it's about what's right and what's wrong. To this day, 80% of UK's (University of Kentucky) student body, where Riley went to college, support trans-men in women's sports.
They are spineless.
@@Zappy1210 yep, just like how even after all the police have gone thru because of the lib agenda the top police union still openly supports the dem party...
Women in general need to stand up. How long did it take just to get women only sports. The fight for that needs to be recognized. Reality is that men are taking that away from women all over again.
@@Zappy1210 how may trans athletes are there in this country? 7? This isn’t some national emergency problem the right wingers want you to believe. They just want to bully trans people and this is their latest avenue to do so and the majority of normal people see that
Hurts me as a woman that other women support this unfair trend that is a slap in the face to the memory of all those women who fought hard to achieve the rights they all enjoy.
Did you see the woman behind the guy talking and how she’s just on her phone ignoring it, at least the man behind this guy was sitting there paying attention, not eyes down on her phone. Feminists created this issue and don’t at all see how supporting this erased women and creates the one real example of patriarchy and they are supporting it
Women putting other women down. Is it really that surprising?
100% Agree with you Brenda... In so many aspects of joe bidens anti-America are people being degraded and disrespected from the trails that others before them fought steadfastly to create equal and fair rights... DECADES of hard grueling work, and in TWO.5 short years... it's gone!!! What an absolute disgrace...
So true
Exactly,it feels like a huge betrayal to our country
Can't believe this is even a thing, What's wrong with America?
Worshiping D-vil/$$$$$$
What's wrong with these politicians ignoring the safety and dignity of America's women and young girl athletes is more the question that should be answered by them to the parents of these young athletes.
America is screwed up big!
Derailment of an empire in motion.
plain and simple.
Riley is a very well spoken young lady. Im happy and proud to have a woman like her standing up for herself and all of us.
Riley is an incredible woman. Wish her well and I hope we listen and change this nonsense.
Im sorry to say this! But the whole current agenda was predicted by David Icke and Alex Jones a few years ago. Even the open southern border in the US was David Icke writing about in 2014. The secret to their accurate predictions is that they know the endgame with a Fascistic Globalist State and a "hunger-games" society.
@@jocobcohen1835 Well bless your heart.
She got fifth place and is whining about not getting handed a trophy, trump would call her a crybaby loser
RILEY IS A M2F TRANSGENDER
@@ademirsegura6307You mean creating life
Everybody should be supporting Riley Gaines. She is fighting for all the biological women in sports.
I would support her 100% if she wasn’t so clearly doing this to ciment the foundations of her republican political career…
@@vicom134 she'd make a good politician. Eloquent with values. She has more common sense than ninety-nine percent of Republicans and Democrats
Real women. Normal women.
@@vicom134 Wow, so you're two faced.
@@vicom134 Communist!
Riley Gaines was superbly prepared, her explanations and answers were excellent, politicians should really listen to this WOMAN ❤
The only thing politicians will listen to is your vote so vote accordingly.
So proud of Riley for standing up and not giving up! I wonder why the other female athletes aren’t standing beside her?
Because women have been fighting to compete against men for decades and have been making progress into some sports? We can't argue we can't compete against weakened transwomen whilst fighting to compete against men
If someone tries to claim you are "transphobic", ask them if they're heterophobic. I'm sure their response will either be further unhinged anger and hatred or stunned silence.
The opposite would be cisphobic, actually. But yeah, transphobic means nothing since nobody is 'trans' and nobody can change their s ex.
Exactly the best men can do is womanface. They’re still men
@4651adri there's no such thing as "cis".
@4651adri what does "cis" stand for ?? (I've never heard that term... until now)
Not sure if spinning the question around is a very good move tho
"they did not embrace my diverse thought" Riley nailed it right there. The fact that people who claim they're being "inclusive" and "supporting diversity" are then spewing so much hatred towards Riley over standing up for fairness in women's sports just shows how twisted and full of shit the entire argument is on their side. They have no argument because Riley's argument makes sense, and so they turn to hatred and emotion instead of reason.
WeWillHuntDownTRANSfreaks!!!
It's sad to realize that hatred and appealing to emotion (for votes) is what drives our executive branch. Riley's a hero in my world.
@MrElapid we will find where they sleep at night ! Ever hear about that guy in Alaska who hunted down pedophiles with a hammer ? Pretty cool guy 😎
Trust a man to ask such a question ! They've no idea what it's like each a month, not even er...... MANWOMAN NOT!
I support diversity to the fullest. But… catch me finding a male walk in a female bathroom where my daughters are in. I’ll make sure he’s permanently blind.
I am 100% on her side!
She gets my full support!
She is a very brave woman, and full of common sense, Americans have a lot to learn from her.
Riley is going to be a historical figure in the fight for womens rights❤️☮️🇺🇸
Like Tulsi Gabbard,as in, not likely...
As will Harleigh.
Yes, women should have the right to their own bodies.
@@HisNameIsRobertPaulson01 When it's their body, I agree. They should choose responsibility. When they fail to do so and produce a child, then it's no longer their body.
She's just not hot enough😊
NCAA needs to pay a serious price for their disgusting behavior.
The only way to change their despicable misogynistic behaviour is to hit them in their wallets.
They won't. Colleges are a breeding ground for leftist ideology.
she is so wellspoken. at that age, about a matter that could define her not only collage, but ALL her life.
All respect in the world towards this strong woman
Why dont they create a new category for trans? The problem is the opposers are calling Lia Thomas a man. The pro Lia people are calling her a woman. So this guy questioned her just to label Riley a transphobic, but not to have a debate an understand the issue. He just wanted to have the final word right or wrong. That is narcissism.
Riley Gaines is the most important person in woman’s sports right now. Her voice will change the world. She is an actual Wonder Woman. I hope she is remembered and celebrated for this noble cause.
Sabrina Williams is in agreement and lends a big voice with her celebrity.
Someone needs to draw her as wonder woman, and watch the SJWs go mad.
Sadly a wonder woman is 2023 is simply a person that points out the obvious. The world is 1 big clownfest.
@@casecold1864 Women will correct this wrong soon. They have worked for decades for fair treatment and are not about to let some men in costumes take that away.
Ok chill… done exaggerate, this is the problem with people. Give her her praise but don’t lose your sh*t doing it
Transphobic, phobic meaning fear of. If she is standing up men she clearly isn't afraid (phobic of) men.
- 1 point your refer to a man identifying as a woman...please language MATTERS!
THEY ARE NOT WOMEN!
This is the new definition of transphobic- “having or showing a dislike of or strong prejudice against transgender people.”… is this not crazy? The meanings of words have now changed due to all this nonsense…
The dictionary is screwed as it lists disgust as part of phobic… like 5 different feelings covered under one feeling… circular definition
@@stella78988 More like female impersonators whom by the way do a horrible job at the attempt to imitate biological women.
no phobic means irrational fear, the fascist left seems to not understand the difference between fear and a justified hatred for their new aryian race. goring would be so proud of these fascist leftoids continuing his race
At first i was doubtful of mike lee, i dont follow him or know how he handles himself, but his composure here was graceful. He asked the proper questions, he reacted in a very accepting manner to her answers, and did not show bias in this situation when i thought first off he was simply going to accuse her of being transphobic rather than ask a rhetorical question. This the sanity the world needs again
She is amazing. My gosh she is so well spoken for her age.
Riley Gaines is woman of the year. She has helped to bring us out of the ridiculous stupor to reality. And kudos to Mike Lee and the other Republican senators who uphold sanity.

What about the lesbian gaze ? I find this American custom of getting butt naked in the locker room quite hilarious... what privacy lol
Should have been arrested and incarcerated like any other man would have been
@sFeral, have you EVER changed into or out of a swimming costume? You have to be naked!
As for privacy, when I was in the military some barracks didn't have individual shower stalls just a room with several shower heads and we showered together. You got use to it. However, it would have felt invasive to have a man showering with us. I'm glad I'm not in now.
@@mancyank564 there are such things as closed off sections, even at the beach for ex. Why the insistence on having a bunch of girls or boys all naked together. Perhaps there should be an episode of "extreme cheapskates" featuring your government lol

With women like her doing everything she can, and those like her. This agenda is going to lose. A beautiful, smart, well spoken, highly decorated collegiate athlete is just something they can't defeat. Good for her.
I hope she gets her title back after she was robbed by William Thomas. I hope the NCL one day will pay consequences for having destroyed the career of many young talented athletes like Riley.

We've fallen very, very far, in a very short time.
Question being... who benefits off this.
@RyanHolmanNetwork calling myself a cat doesn't make me a cat. Stop living in your fantasy world
@RyanHolmanNetwork Biology is science, a woman is a biological adult female, end of story, stop hating on Women and their rights and wake up to yourself.
@@tbone9474 To REALize means to be aware of REALity. Transgenderism is based on all-in-your-head fantasy, not reality. You can't REALize what is NOT REAL
@RyanHolmanNetwork if gender is related to social characteristics, then the entire lgbtq community has something to do with social characteristics.
I went into a store where a trans approached me. I was sickened by the rods, tattoos and the overall look of him. When he noticed I seemed uncomfortable he got closer, his eyes got big and his smile grew. He was happy to see I was nervous. I was polite but when another salesperson came to to replace him, I was relieved.. The whole experience left me creeped out. It wasn't just the way he looked, but how he acted. Not in a natural way. It affected me for the entire day. I felt like I needed to throw up. A month later I was in another another store and was approached by a trans and though I was polite it was the same thing. He noticed I was uncomfortable and he got real close and his eyes widened and as his smile. Again the whole experience was creepy. When he noticed I looked uncomfortable he grew happier. It was a little thing but YES! I am transphobic. I do have a phobia with grown men acting unnatural. Both times I was left shaking and crying. It was as if they were doing it with the intention of upsetting people and laughing at all the power they now have. If I didn't know better, I would say this is why they do it. How much fun it must be to bring a senior shaken, and on the brink of tears. So don't tell me to get used to it. I can't and won't do it.
I think this is why the whole Jordon Peterson thing was so important in Canada with compelled speech.
You know people would be deliberately baiting other people just to upset them.
You are STRONG, YOU ARE POWERFUL! Next time a trans stares at you BOLDLY stare back infact stare so annoyingly bold. They will leave u alone. Never let anyone intimidate you. This is coming from someone who had to fight their way through life without parents. Love to you
These people are unwell sadly and they need our prayers and compassion🙏
Please try not to allow them to intimidate you. Just say ‘God bless you son’. They’ll love that I’m sure!!!!
I adore and celebrate Riley, but I think you need help. Seriously. Don't blame trans people for just smiling at you because of your phobia - it's areal thing and in this case they're not the problem.
Anything any situation and any person that’s unnatural is scary ✌️.. atleast that’s how most,we biologically normal people sees it!
Riley is a hero!! May God continue to bless her 🙏🏽
She is SO well spoken and said it with heart. Riley, you are AMAZING and PLEASE do not stop. Stay strong. REAL WOMEN and anyone with a straight head SUPPORT you 💯. Too many young women and girls are too afriad to speak up and stand up to this. It DOES matter. THANK YOU.
She is impressive.
No penises in womens sports no penises in women's restrooms
“Being accepted”? What happened to “being loved for who you are”?? Instead of tricking people into believing that you’re something that you’re not ?? (Fraud) . That’s a lot of money & surgery to guarantee that you’ll never be loved for who you are .
we know the truth about the trans pervert and how he does it cuz it arouses him and the truth shes afraid to clearly state in the courtroom... this is a much more sad and disturbing circumstance than people realize...
the trans does it cuz it arouses him and the truth about things that happened shes afraid to state because shes already facing criticism make this a more sad and disturbing story than people see

Well, there is no chance, this wokenes is beiing pushed trough by the powerfull, and they will make sure it will get pushed trough no matter how much effort and logic you put into stoping it. Western world is beyond saving at this point, until this degenerated culture will eventually crash itself with the weight of its own stupidity.
It would take exactly ONE election...everyone in government who is against REAL women gets voted out, people who refuse to define women or even admit there is a difference between men and women, and suddenly this fiasco would end.
Thank you for standing up for real women, Ms Gaines. I hope that my young daughters will always have the opportunity to compete against only other girls if they so choose.
She is well spoken....Thank you for speaking up for women! Thank you Mike Lee!
Having this done to those girls is shameful and having a male and a locker room with females is downright dangerous

Like Robert said this is a double edged sword. Nobody ever said anything when girls started ruining boys scouts....
Well said Riley. Articulate, courageous woman. Excellent.
At least she can be articulate.

Riley Gaines is amazing in this role. I just can't believe that our society is at this insane point where we have to argue this.
If you didn't see this coming during the Democratic Primary rainbow mafia town hall debate... with all the Democrats tripping over themselves to tell every mentally ill whatever-the-heck that whatever they imagine reality to be, that's what it is? Though, most people didn't see that debate. The whole alphabet cult thing reminds me of a religious cult.
When you are telling the truth you will never go wrong the opposite happens when you start defending a delusional lie...
This young woman's courage is admirable. As the Bible tells us Fear not when in front of your enemies I will put words in your mouth, you just have to speak says the LORD....
Thank God for this young woman...
It is really something we should not waste time debating, but i guess at this point we have to. This is over stupid things, of course the female athletes should have their right to privacy and women should compete with biological women.

Being male, my heroes have generally been other males. This brave young woman is quickly moving into that category for me.
That is an awesome comment! Thank you!
She’s moving into the category of “brave young males”. The irony 😂
The category is “hero.” Reading comprehension dude. They teach that in 3rd grade
@@eileen8787
Satire and wit, I’m not sure they teach that at all in the USA.
Yeah
She is awesome...I have yet to see her screw up a question. She is much better than the ones that are asking the questions.
Riley is so mature beyond her years
I nominate Riley for WOMAN OF THE YEAR!
I agree too. 🤝
I´m sure another man dressed as a woman will win again, sadly.
She would have to have a penis
Yes we need to push this big time
They will probably give it to one of those men dressed as women.smh...
What a intelligent respectful young lady. Just hope she gets the support she needs to win this ridiculous fight. As a man I'm embarrassed that this is what female athletics has come to.
I want to give Riley a hug.
Big difference between being phobic (irrational fear) as opposed to not agreeing with certain behaviors. Jeeze, give the girl a break.Give us all a break.
Most people accept that trans women can live a normal modest "female" life. But why do so many trans women feel that means they have to compete in the highest level of sport or win women of the year award or get there man parts out at a women only swim session.?? They had a trans women on big brother uk she was the only one of the "women" who did not get changed under the modest towel. "She" just got it all out in front of everyone and the cameras 😮
he is on her side maybe you were watching a different video
Exactly💯 they're using the terms transphobic and homophobic incorrectly!! There's no irrational fear of them. Just because you don't agree with this nonsense and unfairness it doesn't mean you're transphobic. Jeez is that difficult to understand???
Expecting irrational people who are clueless about who or even what they are is irrational.
@@sunnyday9026said, “They’re using the terms, ‘transphobic’ and, ‘homophobic’ incorrectly.”
Well, they use the terms, “man” and, “vvoman” incorrectly so, it’s not surprising.
Riley Gaines literally gives me goosebumps. I very much admire her, she is such an amazing woman and advocate for women and girls rights. Thank you Riley Gaines, from the bottom of my heart!
Same here. She is a real rock star .!!!!
Riley, I say again, you are a proud hero for all women and girls. Please run for Congress! Maybe law school not dental school should be your career!!
People who want simple and honest fair play for women, and safe spaces for women are NOT transphobic.
Absolutely amazing! She is a powerful young woman! Women have come so far for their rights and to have them violated like this is wrong! I solute you young lady!
Riley is speaking out gracefully, with poise and dignity. Her words are powerful. Thank you Riley.
1As dead flies bring a stench to the perfumer’s oil, so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor. 2A wise man’s heart inclines to the right, but the heart of a fool to the LEFT..… ECCLES. 10:1-2. Gods view of Woke. To be Woke, mentioned numerous times in Gods Word. Just the opposite of what fools are supporting today.
“I have no burden of ‘defending’ myself against a claim of something that doesn’t exist.”
Riley Gaines you are a hero for women's rights thank you for all you do
Damn that part about giving the women of year award to the bio guy hit hard.. I felt it as if I was in her shoes and I’m a man. ESP when she said “i was nominated for that too” u could hear the confusion and sadness in her tone :( she is really brave for standing up to this strange social trend… I hope one day she gets an award for defending womens rights. One day we will look back at this and hear her talking about dealing with men in her locker room, girls hiding in the stalls.. we will be very ashamed we let this bullshit side.. in the same of inclusion & equality for women.. how embarrassing our generations allowed this
Caitlin Jenner notoriously won the woman of the Year award the year she transitioned. Same "woman" who also said that the hardest thing about being a woman was "choosing what to wear."
@@IMP3TIGOlol yeah. It's sad but funny. Jenner won women of the year and was not even a women for the whole year. 😮😅
@@IMP3TIGO didnt do a lot for woman drivers though :)
@@robertjones2053 it’s would be weird for trans women to win if she been a “woman “ for decades but a man wears dresses for six months and gets loads of surgery and that’s the best women out there omg we really are in clown world
She is such a strong example for equality. I think all sports should be open events and men / women can compete on equal footing!
Riley Gains should run for congress. She is extremely well spoken and has one hundred percent common sense unlike the dread monster setting next to her. I am 79 years young. When I was a kid, my mother had an uncle who was Uncle Jack to everybody. Uncle Jack and his buddy Charlie lived together. When I was a kid, my parents would go a visit Uncle Jack and Charlie. It was always fun at their place. As my sister and I got older we came to realize Uncle Jack and Charlie were gay. My parents certainly knew that all along and never said one negative thing about them. I know Uncle Jack and Charlie never demanded anyone pay attention to their lifestyle or what went on behind their closed doors and both lived good lives. America was so much better back then. The old saying, if it's not broke don't fix it. The Woke can't comprehend that.
This topic isn't about gay people or sexual orientation. This is about Trans activism, gender ideology and cultural Marxism. Most gays and lesbians live a normal life. We were happy to have laws that prevented job loss, discrimination, and things like asset protection, or a loved one being recognized as family for 'family only' hospital visits etc. Lia Thomas is a heterosexual male. He is attracted to women and calls himself a "lesbian". Most of these "Trans women" are straight males with a fetish called autogynephilia and are using LGBT orgs (who are corrupt and out to make as much $ as possible) to push themselves into women's spaces, change rooms- to be able to live their fetish 24/7 and force women to participate in it.
Ok let's break it down
1.she claims biological men are physically advantaged over biological women
2. She TIED with that "physically advantaged" person
3. They both got FIFTH PLACE, meaning the "physically advantaged" person lost to four biological women who are "physically disadvantaged" compared to them
Why are ppl falling for this political stunt?
Shouldn't she be ecstatic that she TIED a person she claims has a biological advantage over her?
The delusion in this country is truly terrifying. Got to get out of here.
The fact this is to be debated and questioned is fucked up what is wrong with this world.
Such a sad state of affairs, everyone on the NCAA who took part in this should be removed from there position and slapped with a law suit. Riely Gaines has quickly become the new face of Womens rights and she deserves every bit of the fame that follows.
"The first thing I did was pray for them."
- Riley is a nicer person than I am
She is following the commandments of her Lord and savior Jesus Christ. Huge respect.
I'm sure your good too .... we all have our limits though and she has adopted a mantra that starts with forgiving the disgusting around her. She is a stronger person than me ...
There’s no hate like Christian love!
@@buried4430 can't argue with them for not wanting to be exposed to dirty, disgusting people.
@@user-zv7jq7hq1p calling an entire group of people disgusting and subhuman, stay classy republicans. And then yall still have the audacity to whine and ask how trans people are oppressed when yall say the most heartless things.😂
The scariest thing is that you people don’t even care that yall belittle people and reduce them to feeling worthless.
Riley is not just standing for women and girls in America, she is standing up for those across the world…. Thank you Riley.
I never thought i would live to see the day that a person apposed to biological males competing against biological females would be called a bigot
Riley is the perfect champion for women's sports. Accomplished, focused, graceful, articulate, calm, courageous and present at the highest level. Thanks Riley for holding people accountable in this absolute mess.
And beautiful!
@@docfrank7745hmm, why does that matter?
She's whining about not being handed a trophy in front of ppl for getting FIFTH PLACE
this is such political theater it's nauseating
@@NunYabiznass-hd6dj And yet here you are, talking her down in the comment section. Can't handle someone being praised, against your religion--that's heresy.
@@NunYabiznass-hd6djit matters because she is the perfect adversary to the whole movement in its core. Shes intelligent, graceful, beautiful and feminine without being nasty. Shes everything these nasty trans activists will never be. Plus, she has a certain charisma that will draw people in and listen to her. She has a face and demeanor that will be remembered and go down in history, Mark my words
She needs to hold a Senate seat!!! She is so eloquent and doesn't get emotionally entrapped with her opponents, but rather, she hits them with facts and actual numbers!!! This young lady is someone to watch. She will institute change at the cost of her career I'm sure, and she has a wonderfully supportive husband and family, so on the days when she fels like giving up, they will have her back!!
You go Riley you are so amazing and so proud of you for making a stand !! I guess only thing I would argue is this definitely goes beyond sports
When will this stupidity end? I was a UK county level sprinter as a 16 year old boy and my 100m times were only a few 10th's of a second slower than the fastest woman in the world. As a grown man I wouldn't have been in the top 200 in the UK!
Nothing but pure respect for this brave heart young lady.
I am so grateful for Riley standing up and speaking up for women in such an articulate and graceful way.
so glad you're so happy about women tearing down other women and fighting against women competing in women's sports
trans women are women.
@@ecommercewithjay8857 trans women are trans women.
@@FrancisRomero-eu4el this is not women tearing down other women. Yes sometimes women do that but this is not it. This is women defending women. Trans women should compete, but not in this category because they’re different and that is ok. But let’s be fair. Let be fair to them also and give them their own category. Why do we need to take away from one category of people to give to another? That makes no sense.
@@melissaarchila5602 and trans women are women the same way cis women are women
Mike Lee was super with his questions and support for Riley Gaines. Finally someone speaks up about this nonsense! 👋
Love Riley for speaking out, coaches and others should hold their heads in shame
This country needs a reality check
Ok let's break it down
1.she claims biological men are physically advantaged over biological women
2. She TIED with that "physically advantaged" person
3. They both got FIFTH PLACE, meaning the "physically advantaged" person lost to four biological women who are "physically disadvantaged" compared to them

I thi k it's wrong to change sex unless yvwere born with incomplete sex organs otherwise yes it's evil. The way teachers encourage children to change sex is disgusting I think the whole thing is mad. If thst makes ne transphobic I don't care I just don't think its right and the way they pulled Britain's flag to the floor to put up to rainbow ones was a disgrace. Britain's prime minister says he's going yo stamp put what the teachers are saying but often he's all talk and no action but your president Biden will.promote all that stuff. Why did y vote for I'm.smerica. just to get rid of trump but he's a terrible president a d he's anti my country. Considering how we have helped you in wars and our people died Biden should remember that
She’s an example to every women ❤
this girl is awesome...really proud of her
This is just ridiculously sickening. Bless you Riley
So thankful to have a young, gentle, brave woman representing this side of the conversation. She is a beacon of hope and she shows me ways in which I can speak the truth in love to my friends who are wrestling with these questions. God Bless her.
And Mike Lee - he is truly what the GOP stands for
im trans but i support Riley!
Keep up the good work Riley!
Young Riley should be up for a Nobel Prize.
What a hero
Which Nobel Prize?
I agree 💯 that's why I named my daughter after Riley
The fact this is even a topic at a senate hearing is mind-boggling. This country has gone batshit crazy
That's exactly what I don't understand.
@@jcelldogs that woman started off with her preferred pronouns....stopped taking her seriously at that moment. These people are crazy as hell
