If trans women were women, then they wouldn’t need to transition and wouldn’t need the trans adjective. People aren’t seas horses.
😂 I just said this to my sister
A few years ago when we had zoom classes because of COVID, I put "F-16 Jet Fighter" in the parentheses. My professor emailed me because of that and she went on a rant about how this hurts the feelings of non-binary people.
So then, if we says that someone is a Christian person, does that mean they’re not a person?
@@technoloverish😁 you were going on about logic earlier. Based on that reply, i can see that you have no understanding of the concept.
@@technoloverish
A false equivalency. They're both persons. There's no transition happening because they're still persons. Christian is the descriptor of a person. Even if that Christian converts to Hinduism, he/she is still a person.
Trans woman is a descriptor of a man. It's a man that identifies as a woman, a type of man who is still not a woman. He still has the XY genes. He will NEVER get pregnant or give birth.....because he is a man. That's why that descriptor is used, to identify a man who identifies as a woman.
The fact people think there are no differences between the sexes is lunacy
Utter lunacy.
Same people that keep screaming "TRUST THE SCIENCE!BELIEVE THE SCIENCE!".
And if there is no difference between the sexes, why do they need to be in one category so badly? What does it matter? These puerile are delusional.
There are differences, but the differences that incels, traditionalists, etc cite, such as women being less logical and more emotional are nonsense
Lunacy: Intermittent insanity controlled by a 28 day cycle synchronized with the moon.
I'm a swimmer, and MENSTRUATION is a b!tch to have in training, even more in Competitions! It's stressful and painful. And these men saying there's no difference between men and women is insane.
Yes because all cis women menstruate of course.
I bet it's really awkward, to say the least!! I think if I was a woman, I probably wouldn't be going swimming when it was that time of the month. I don't know how you do it, but respect to you.
I had a female co worker who was having menstrual pains one day and I simply told her if she needs to take a minute and go to the ladies room I will hold the fort down until she gets back. I respect the differences and try to get things to work out. As a male im not exactly common in the young child care field. Over the past few years ive had to explain I would hold the doors for everyone because its simply a courtacy, I may be single and in my late 20s but not exactly looking for a relationship. So the constant comparison to my students parents is a bit of reopening a sealed wound. I may say "whats up guys" to a group of both men and women. Yet if it was just women than I would say "whats up ladies" or "whats up gals" or if just men than I would still say "whats up guys" or "whats up dudes". Its just taking a casual approach. If saying that is enough to get you upset thats your issue.
I dont make a big deal out of the signs in the bathroom telling other staff to throw away certain adult products rather than flush them. I dont make a big deal out of women getting maternity leave. If men did that everytime we got an awkward boner moment we would lose our jobs. We get hard simply due to a change in temperature sometimes.
When it comes to compitition and sports or entertainment its a matter of fairness and respect. We are different and thats ok. Im not trying to downplay women or men. Im not saying one is better than the other in every aspect. We just have our strengths and weaknesses most often associated with our sex.
Even with how we use dolls. Most biological males dont play with barbies. Even if they did they likely wouldnt use them the same way females do. You would have to teach them or show the boys how to play with the dolls nicely. Otherwise they are more likely to use them like action figures. Having them beat each other up or using them in more action oriented adventures. Like fighting off supervillains or gangs or punishing the bully they have in class. While girls typically use them for playing house or some kind of profession. Professions that they can seriously see themselves doing such as doctor, actress, singer, lawyer, accountant, store manager, cook, sailor, etc. I dont see girls having iron man working a grill for piper anytime soon. If anything he would have a smart ai grill or an ironman suit with grilling capabilities. He just wouldnt be doing a standard grill master roll. Its just not in his character. Yet thats how a girl would end up using his action figure alongside barbie.
I live in Canada. There is a woman who's a top contending boxer here (in women's boxing) and she just refused to accept a fight when it was announced last minute that her opponent would be a trans woman (biological male).
Good for her 👏 ❤
They like to do it like that, just spring it on you. That’s what they did to Riley’s swim team. Kind of sick.
Good for her!
Good for her! It's a shame though that they did that to her. Now she will be disqualified from future fights. That is so wrong.
Where are the trans-man dominating men sports, if gender is just a construct? That's the real question.
That is the question that none of the people pushing for trans inclusion ever answer.
Trans people are not dominating sports at all, Riley is lying about that
Just commented that. Only men asking to be in females changing rooms ....
@@dylangarcia3898sure cause william thomas going from 462nd place in the male division to 2nd and 1st in the female league is entirely coincidental.

I don't "identify" as a woman, I AM a woman.
💯💯💯💯
And hopefully not as a “cis” woman, just a woman. Yet another useless and fake category invented to further divide us.
As a woman, some man calling me a CIS woman, is absolutely infuriating.
I see you understand the difference between being and actions. A man isn't something I do it is what I am. I don't identify as human I just am.
@@ang3432 I agree, no description is needed if you are not pretending to be something else.
I'm a biological anthropologist and sexual dimorphism very much exists in humans. I have no issues identifying males versus females with their skeletons and there are many ways to do this just through visual observations. There are all sorts of musculoskeletal differences between males and females where almost all of them make males physically stronger and faster than females. Obviously there are always exceptions but these decisions needs to be based upon the biological average.
💯
AMEN!
They are different, period.
Yes, exceptions don't break the rule
Thank God we have actual scientists left in this day and age. That's exactly what I said being even when I was on the left that sexual dimorphism is a real thing and that in order for women to have rights there has to be a limitation put on not only them but on trans people based on the fact that men and women are in fact different there are some things that can change that are dimorphism like for instance the male breast can change to a female breast temporarily with hormonal shifts. Usually brought on by the use of hormones especially female hormones lactation and certain medications but it will change back immediately wants that goes away in some very rare instances it can change permanently but it's very rarely and it can be changed with again with surgery but that's about it that's that's the limit play no amount of surgery you can do will ever change any more than that you will never have a womb if you are a man a real man a physical anthem anatomical manif I was born a man will never menstruate men cannot menstruate I mean the fact that we're getting all up in our arms about basic human biology facts that I'm somewhere else somehow racist and pushed out of our own parties for telling the f****** truth is absurd
My female hockey team played against a male hockey team to prove a point.
The match was stopped shortly after the second period because our team couldn't make up the numbers (even our subs were out) with
• Concussion
• Broken collar bone
• Cracked ribs
• Broken nose
• Teeth knocked out
• Fractured ankle
• Split lip
• Broken fingers & toes
• Black eye
• Busted eyebrow
• Snapped achilles tendon.
Our team ended up in hospital, some were off work for months, we couldnt play, some couldn't even do their food shopping.
Now tell me that men in women's sports isn't dangerous.
Omg, don't play against him ever again, 😢 these freaks enjoy hurting women😤
Damn!! Hockey is the one sport you REALLY do not want to co-mingle the genders.
If they identify as a women, I think our male athletes should identify all women then female should identify as man so that those trans people aka man compete with a man, they shouldn't play in women's spaces.
Wow, your poor team. Proud that you all did this, even though it put you in the hospital, but this is what they’re waiting for, injuries and it’s disgusting. They’d rather women get hurt or killed first.
These events show that the difference between women and trans-women is about more than feelings it's about safety issues and claiming that the difference between the bone structure of men and women is significant.
As a trans person I fully back Riley. We are not the gender we chose to be hence we are trans and its common sense that we should not partake In sports against the gender we have chosen to be. People should be ashamed of themselves for attacking this poor woman for standing up for women's rights.
Thank you for standing up for biological women's spaces and privacy.
Thank you. I've encouraged friends and associates to avoid lumping everyone together. That the majority of trans people are against this lunacy.
Thank you 💜
I am also a transman and I stand with you completely.
👏👏👏👏
Advocates say gender is different from sex. Sex is biological, gender is mental. You can change your gender because it is subjective. You can not change your sex because it is objective. To then say that trans should compete with the sex that coincides with their gender identity conflates sex and gender, which violates the initial contention that gender and sex are different.
THIS! Thank you!!
You understand the argument, most people don't. But reality is a lot of people are now acting as if biological sex is subjective too. Recently a police department were not sure if a suspect who they had a semen sample from was male or female. The radical left wants to destroy language in order to socially re-engineer society in their bizarre concepts.
Let's be real. They know what they're doing.
the argument that gender is "mental" is a postmodernist argument invented by postmodernists. Therefore, it doesn't adhere to logic, reason, or objective reality. Which, for them, conveniently makes you're comment irrelevant
🎯👏 Perfectly put. That dismantles their entire argument. Sports separated by sex not gender. Bam. Though they'll probably just start saying they somehow switched sexes and go back to calling themselves transsexuals again instead of transgender to get around it.
There’s lots of evidence from amateur girls’ football (soccer) from UK and Australia of trans players causing injuries to female players including broken bones. And this is in a sport which is supposed to be non- contact. The truth is these male players play the sport differently to the girls - they play more aggressively to begin with, then pair that with a male body - taller, heavier, stronger, greater stamina, faster muscle-twitch, longer reach, greater bone density … and you can see why female players are either walking off the pitch with season- ending injuries or are increasingly refusing to compete, in order to protect their physical safety and health.
Also media outlets (especially in the US) are less likely to cover these stories because they know it's proof of what 'transphobes' have been saying. It's a bad look that boys/men who identify as trans are harming girls/women in so many different places and ways when those same women have been getting told for years that they're over reacting and being paranoid. It's mass gaslighting and misogynistic. There's tangible proof harm is being done in every space but the media and activists keep saying it's not and they tell us to not believe our own eyes.
Since when was soccer a non-contact sport?
I would guess because it's amateur girls soccer, but in regions like brazil I think they play "no-contact" because their style of football doesn't work with the heavy phyiscal side in the UK for example
Last year, my aunt told me I was transphobic because I didn't want trans women in a locker room with me. I felt bad about it for several months, but I don't care what people think anymore! Go ahead and call me transphobic. Also, biological men shouldn't be competing with biological females, period! Trans women inmates should not be housed with women either! Most female inmates have some sort of trauma caused by an adult male! For trans people in a bathroom, I don't really care. But to see a trans woman who hasn't transitioned and naked in a locker room? That's terrifying to me! I have a history of child SA and sexual assaults in my adult years by males. I'd feel highly vulnerable and nervous in that situation, even though the person meant no harm. We protect trans people, but we aren't protecting all women? We know a male can overpower a female! I'm 5'4" and 130 pounds, and my ex-husband was 5'8" and 140 pounds. Not much bigger, but he would hold me down for hours, and I couldn't get away from him.. I think everyone should feel safe, but we need to remember how many females have a history of child SA or experienced DV by males. A lot of women! Women must start standing up for other women and stop remaining quiet about it! Protect trans people, but ALL women, too!
Your aunt was wrong. You are fierce and courageous. Don't ever doubt yourself. That's what they count on.
@@cdynes385 💗💗💗
It’s just a manipulation to call everyone who disagrees transphobic. they have no worthwhile logical arguments, manipulation is all they have left
you shouldn't feel guilty. you're not the problem
I can't imagine those women who survived SA in a locker room with an intact, not shy, biological man. Thank you, Riley, for all you do.
Your aunt was wrong. That "transphobic" is the alphabet bully's version of the race card. If you don't agree with the agenda, they throw that out to try to silence you. It is pathetic.
Trans is not a physical thing, it's a feeling. Feeling you're the opposite sex doesn't change your physical body.
So taking large amounts of hormones that completely change the muscle mass and fat content and distribution of your body is not a physical change? Ok ok sure.
Correct!
Absolutely correct. If you disagree go see a therapist
Can we agree calling people cis is hate speech?
Which verse of the Bible says that say “cis” is a sin?
@technoloverish that doesn't matter, trans people are the ones that decided to change, normal people don't like this term and up in till five years ago nobody was using it, you people demand respect but you're not willing to respect others smh.
@@technoloverish who mentioned sin? Op mentioned hate speech
@@technoloverish where does it say Trans, non binary? Keep the Bible out of it, you may believe in it, but many do not.
It is hate speech.
27:58 Stephanie Barrett, (trans identified male), went to the 2020 Olympics as Canada's "female" archer. He "transitioned" at age 46 and took up archery, and raced up through the ranks of Womens' Archery. In short, Canada sent two men to the Olympics for the Archery competition. Yes of couse some actual woman got bumped out.
So tired of having these men calling us "terfs" as if that's some horrible thing, and demanding we shut up and listen to what they feel and what they say, but what we feel and want and our safety, modesty, and just fighting for fairness doesn't matter at all. Were just spossed to shut up and go along with it. Nobody likes it, but they make women scared to speak out. Well Im not scared! Come on ladies we all need to stand up to them together! 💪
💯
Thank you for fighting for women's spaces. I am saddened that acknowledging biological sex is so divisive these days.
I'm not sad, I think it's cool that they are reaping the fruits of decades of feminist ideological battle😂😂
@@cavaleirosemlicenca3894 ignoring biological sex does not align with traditional feminism. the people who believe in ignoring sex are just a different category of dumb.
Im sorry that you think women being paid equally and having the right to vote is such a radical concept. Maybe goto the middle east and be with your own kind?@cavaleirosemlicenca3894
@@cavaleirosemlicenca3894it started out well though, they just bled the lines too much
I'm an intersex female with high testosterone, and I don't understand it either. In fact, my friends reminding me of my real sex when it happened helped me out a lot. I eat like a man but in lady-sized portions. I have to maintain my testosterone, but it doesn't really affect me so I still look like a chick. Overall, I'm a woman no matter what, and acknowledging that shouldn't be controversial.
I did not expect to learn that Amala was supposed to be a midwife. She definitely has a big enough heart for that.
She's mentioned it before. You're right about that heart.
That’s my first time hearing it too. She would’ve been an excellent midwife! But I love to hear her mind so good for her to find a new path. I have nursing friends and I’ve heard the ridiculous politically correct trainings they have to go through.
@@emmaburgessdean2355Yeah I also heard a crazy story once from a friend that she had a couple who’s baby they are raising as non binary and she got an earful when the birth certificate was marked as male (gender of the baby). I felt sad for the kid for the environment he is going to get raised in when I heard this.
My great great grandmother was a midwife when doctors were rare as hens teeth!
She's an amazing young woman, a great source of sanity and wisdom. Even at my age, 77, I am inspired and calmed by her reason and perspectives.
Womanhood is a state of being, not a state of mind.
How can abusive men be taken seriously as women?
💯
For real
It is insane that someone feels entitled to ASSAULT another human being for having their own opinion.
They don’t sound like liberals oh wait, they also sound exactly like a liberal
@@berjvarjabedian2207 They aren't liberals. They don't even CALL themselves liberals! They are woke, which is about as ILLIBERAL as you can get. Not all liberals are woke. That's like saying all conservatives are fascists! Not everyone on the Left is a Communist & not everyone on the Right is a Nazi. Please grow up. "Owning the libs" is a juvenile response that adds nothing to the discussion of trans activists & gender identity ideology.
It's not assault if you attack Republicans. Then it is protesting. Or standing up for women, or something.
@@berjvarjabedian2207 They are not liberals. I’m a liberal. They are fascists appropriating the liberal label. True liberals believe in the values that originated in the Enlightenment.
Didn't you know? Opinions that don't agree with yours is violence against you, so you have every right to retaliate with violence 🤣
If a trans woman has no advantages over a woman and therefore should compete. Why don't we hear of any trans men winning against normal men?
That is my question as well!!
Because they can't win. You can pump a gallon of testosterone in women she still can't win against men.
Did you about the trans woman winning the balance beam routine? Me neither, that would be nuts.
@@NK-bz9wbexactly! Men and Womens Gymnastics are completely different sports! A man would be a fool to even try!
Admiration for Riley from here in the UK. She is a hero fighting for sanity in a world gone mad. ❤
I met Riley at an event. She was very kind and took some time to talk to me. She is indeed a badass fighting for women’s sports!
I've noticed that the arguments put forth by trans advocates for male participation in female sports are often duplicitous and half-truths at best. They'll cite a study that states there is a decrease in performance due to hormone therapy, yet leave out the fact that the same study concluded that it was too insignificant a decrease to justify males in female sports.
Not to mention that all that a guy that is failing at sports needs is just to declare himself a woman without the need of any actual gender affirmation surgery or even hormones to then compete in women's sports wherever this 💩 hasn't been stopped yet and the same goes for sexual predators.
Exactlyyy! The decrease is sometimes significant compared to OTHER MALES. It’s never significantly within the FEMALE range, it’s never in any way female, it’s always just weaker male
I love how they claim to be pro-science when they ignore the fact that men are stronger than women in every way, shape or form.
@@streamingservices2469 If the 200th ranked male tennis player can smoke the Venus sisters back to back, there is an undeniable unfairness that female athletes are faced with when even a lackluster male athlete is allowed in their lane.
@@Bat-Twenty-Two thank you 👏👏👏
"Transphobia" - I'm not scared, I'm disgusted and outraged.
I'm actually a little scared that I might have some sort of mental issues and some kook doctor will insist I am trans then they will hold me down and cut...well, you get the idea.
So in that way, you could say I am phobic about the issue.
Soon as you dare disagree with anything you're labeled phobic and hateful but they themselves will attack maskers who just need to stay safe and healthy.
A phobia is an irrational fear...the trans community have shown time and time again that there should be a rational fear of them coming after children!
Are you not scared by the cult using the state's power to silence you and ruin your life if you contradict the cult's narrative?
True
I'm tired of all those people making a full biography of their sexual preference when we only give a damn about their first name and maybe family name. The rest WE DON'T CARE, it's PERSONAL, it's extra information that WE DON'T NEED. We the normies don't have to be your personal therapist for your need for validation, we have our own problems to manage. We don't take you hostage against your will and burst your butt with useless information.
As a European who live in Asia ( Singapore, Shanghai and now Tokyo) I'm soo glad that this gender insanity thing is not happening in most, if any, Asian countries !
The madness of institutionalizing support for people's "delusions" is beyond Orwellian. Never in my 72 years would I have ever believed I'd live in a world in which it is considered "controversial" or even "hateful" to simply state biological scientific reality aloud. Thank you to both these brave women standing up to this madness.
It doesn't matter how the thousands of women feel Riley.
Only feelings that matter are those men who are cheating by finding the craziest loophole there has ever been.
This is bullying towards all these girls and women.
Why is it only one way!?!
I Love hearing the opinions of older people who lived way longer on this issue. I asked my grandmother all the time if she ever thought that she’d live to see this happening
@@Jesuslovesnottheworld my grandma always thinks im joking when i tell her about stuff like this lol
@@minaropaa7535 yeah it’s hard to believe if you don’t see it for yourself

They have been screaming that Women as strong as Men for the past 50 year.
20 years ago, they closed all Men Only Spaces.
Some Sport Clubs were closed.
Even Gay Men were complaining & many of their Clubs/Bars were closed.
Literally in every movie/cartoon Women are beating up men.

@@Lumbergh42 Nah, it just proves how weak, as men, that they are.
If you are struggling read this~ I know I’m young but I would just like to say that, In 7th grade I was in a very dark place. I couldn’t feel much emotion and I had thoughts of revenge and the other things. But God saved me, he gave me the people in my life and he showed himself to me. Even in my darkest days he was there with me, he never left me. One day while I was in bed I started to pray with my hand to the sky and I felt something holding my hand. At that very moment I knew it was him. I repent of all of the sins I have committed. I am ready to begin a new life with him. There is still time to repent love one another and believe in Christ for he will forgive you❤️ He helped me in hard and he will help you too:). Just pray!
Amala and Riley are what role models for daughters are, and should be. Fact.
Thank you for being our voice ❤
Swim coach here, it broke my heart to hear your story Riley for the first time years ago. I am glad you are out here fighting for this. I know that if this was happening to my girls who are already fighting hard to make it to state, I would be kicked out for speaking up for them. We cannot let our girls be put in these positions. I agree with you in regards to Michael Phelps, he may have had those advantages but the MEN he was competing with could keep up. I know my family (all swimmers) will be cheering you on at trials in June!
❤
Michael Phelps had a naturally occurring advantage, not an artificially created advantage.
It’s kinda like comparing Messi to an average professional futbol player.
I work in multiple gyms and we hold strength meet ups twice per month, men vs men and women vs women, and for some friendly fun we do men vs women. Not 1 woman has ever beaten a man but it's to be expected and it's purely for fun, It's also helped setup some couples so win-win. One particular month 2 men who thought they were women joined the gym and competed against the women and they annihilated all 20 women, Not by an inch but by a literal mile.
The next strength meet up not 1 woman showed up because they all knew which 2 would win. Now we have a rule in place that stops this lunacy and the trans have stopped coming to the gym thankfully.
I’m actually disgusted by that story…
Most people who compete don't expect to win that day, but competitions such as that provide a great way for people to set goals and motivation.
@@jice7074 The fact everyone knew exactly which 2 would win, By a very large margin, Took the sportsmanship out of the competition. And this is not something a natural born woman can get better at no matter how much she trains, The male body is simply bigger and stronger even after being on estrogen for prolonged period of time.
@@Black_Void_ I fully agree, males do not belong in that competition. Men should not be setting the standards by which female athletes are rated on.
good for you
I have such an issue with being referred to as CIS! I am a women. If they want to create new pronouns, go for it but do not assume I am okay with having a new pronoun forced on me.
I’m part of “LGBTQ & I’m completely stunned by the intellectually dishonest bs. I think there are a ton of ppl who know that biology is important in sports but are afraid to say it out loud.
There's something that bothers me and no one ever talks about: I come from a working class family, I was always interested in sports. Gymnastics was my first choice (the second one was sailing, but that was waaaaay too expensive) but, when I finally convinced my father to let me start an introductory course I only got a month before the trainer told my father that my body type could not win competitions and he withdrew me.
I was heart broken, I wasn't interested much in competition, I just wanted to do gymnastics. No one ever asked me if I wanted to do another sport. Meanwhile my brother, that was the only male child, got to try 5 different sports in a two year span.
He was spoiled, not interested in sports at all. My father just hoped that training would teach him to behave and become a "team player". That didn't work.
I wonder how many girls' love for sports gets overlooked and a male sibling goes on enjoying it instead...and how many of them fail and decide that it would be easier to steal a girl spot in a female team, today.
I have a hunch that ppl are genetically inclined to invest more resources into male offspring, because it makes a greater difference to their genetic fitness.
@@MrCmon113 females are much more likely to have offspring in history compared to males and it’s a 100% guarantee you will know it’s her own child. I guess maybe because there’s a lack of that guarantee if you had sons they needed more resources to make sure? Maybe because males in history took care of females and offspring, they need to be bolstered more for the responsibility of leading a household… not sure but genetically wouldn’t make sense to me
This was me as well! I have always loved to play sports, baseball, football, tennis etc. my dad never thought to enroll me in tball or softball even though I obviously wanted to. My brother was put in Tball and baseball and hated it. I was forced to do Girl Scouts which I hated. I didn’t get to play sports until sophomore year of high school and I was always mad at my dad because I could’ve been really great if I got an early start.
good for you
Not all fathers are like that. I encouraged my daughter to try out whatever she was interested in. I secretly hoped she wouldn't become a Rugby enthusiast but if that's what she would have chose, I would have supported her. Fortunately, she preferred Football and Gymnastics and Rounders and Swimming...she likes many sports, she has a lot of energy.
I think your father is perhaps a bit old-fashioned, I don't know, but we aren't all the kind who put their daughters second place to their sons.
Riley is amazing. She’s doing so awesome of fighting for true women’s rights. It makes me sad this is all happening in the first place.
Do women’s rights include the right to be lesbian, the right to abortion, etc?
Gains has the same problem men everywhere are facing in the workforce. Unfair advantages, privileges and protections imposed against them by destructive ideologies.
@@technoloverish Dose a woman loving anouther woman bug you that much? Let people love who they want, if they are adults they make their own choices to make themselves happy, not to make you happy. And why not just mind your own business when it comes to abortion? Unless it involves you it shouldn't matter to you. Not everyone needs to live by your personal standards.
I do wish both Ekpunobi & Gaines hadn't referenced leftists. I'm an out and out leftist and completely agree trans women do not belong in women's sports. Baking left and right comments it actually makes it harder for lefties to agree with this position. Anyhow, much power to Riley Gaines.
Abortion isn’t a women’s rights issue it’s an issue of murder a baby
I was doing full contact kickboxing for over 10 years, not on a pro level but with pretty big tournaments.
During sparring, i also fought our guys, but they always held back against me in terms of there strength and their aggressivness.
Back then it hurt my feelings a bit bcs i wished to be strong enough to compete with them when i was younger.
Reality is, if just one of them would have been serious i also would have been going to hospitals.
They respected our differences and i appreciate that they did.
These self claimed trans woman dont respect woman in any way.
Men and women. It’s different. It’s basic BIOLOGY.
There should be a third category, then everyone can ignore it in peace 😂
But thats the issue, they crave attention.
wont be enough competitors most likely
@@oooooba8343Yep, already happened. They made an open category for anyone to ignore up for and no one did
no, just rename men sports to open sports. only women are allowed in women sports, but open sports are for everyone who wishes to join, even women who choose to do so.
@@Catherine.Dorian. Non physical sports , like chess or billiards, are separated into women's tournaments and open tournaments. Why the protection ladies?

Amala deserves the world 🌎
The stars have aligned!
Even in women composition we can get heavy caliber.
They use to make fun of Russia or East Germany for having women that oddly looked like men in women's clothing in the Olympics. Now we are doing it and it's OK? This is progress?
Well that’s where communism leads to.
one of the reasons why i lost respect for the lgbt is because of this...im a cis gender gay male and i find this shocking hearing from people who are in complete delulu and lost common sense and i do not sense any transphobia coming from riley but shes only fighting for what she only believes in and theres nothing wrong with that. It disgust me how the lgbt are threatening this woman and its horrifyingly shocking on how we were fighting for same sex marriages and now this? yikes.
I credit both of you amazing young women with WAKING ME UP. I was blindly just kinda keeping my mouth shut even when i didnt agree with the narrative. But you both gave me strength to speak out.
Me too. I feel kind of responsible. I just never imagined these theories would spill out of the academic world of my super liberal San Francisco university and into the greater world. I feel so bad that I didn’t say or do anything then. I just rolled my eyes, recited these things back for my grade, and graduated. I feel so horrible that I didn’t call it out or warn people back then.
@goodgrief888 same. I waited around feeling kinda icky about what was happening. Afraid to be dogpiled on if I spoke out. Turns out I lost all the friends I woukd have lost anyway. I just regret I didn't stick to my gut and have the courage to speak out earlier. Oh well. I'm doing double time now to make up for it.
Last year, my aunt told me I was transphobic because I didn't want trans women in a locker room with me. I felt bad about it for several months, but I don't care what people think anymore! Go ahead and call me transphobic. Also, biological men shouldn't be competing with biological females, period! Trans women inmates should not be housed with women either! Most female inmates have some sort of trauma caused by an adult male! For trans people in a bathroom, I don't really care. But to see a trans woman who hasn't transitioned and naked in a locker room? That's terrifying to me! I have a history of child SA and sexual assaults in my adult years by males. I'd feel highly vulnerable and nervous in that situation, even though the person meant no harm. We protect trans people, but we aren't protecting all women? We know a male can overpower a female! I'm 5'4" and 130 pounds, and my ex-husband was 5'8" and 140 pounds. Not much bigger, but he would hold me down for hours, and I couldn't get away from him.. I think everyone should feel safe, but we need to remember how many females have a history of child SA or experienced DV by males. A lot of women! Women must start standing up for other women and stop remaining quiet about it! Protect trans people, but ALL women, too!
@@goodgrief888I feel exactly the same. I went to college in 2002-2006 and thought for sure these ideas would always be fringe. I was fully brainwashed then, though, I actually majored in “sex and gender media studies” -sorry, world. I feel partly responsible for all of this wokeness gone awry
Riley is not only beautiful and strong lady, but also very intelligent woman. She debunked their illusions with facts and information. Love her ❤
false
@@JayLane193 Yes, their (trans/ woke) arguments are false
@@JayLane193 If you are going to make that claim, it helps if you back it up with facts. I would say "do some research" but it would be a waste of your time. Riley is 100% correct.
@@JayLane193 What is wrong with you?!
Hell yeah! Riley is awesome! 👏
1:14 Amala mentions the audience going crazy. 😂 I saw the thumbnail with Riley featured and clicked it so fast!
It's happening in professional disc golf also. Natalie Ryan. The disc golf network actively removes comments in real time on their tournament live streams. People are speaking up, but are blocked, removed and silenced.
I haven't heard a single one of those who defend trans people to compete in the category they Choose, explain why they think Gender is relevant to sports.
They think gender and sex is different, right? They think sex is not relevant, right?
So why is gender relevant? 🙄 It's a sport, it's a physical thing, not an identity or psychological thing
Their arguments never hold up to any real scrutiny. Same when they say fighting for trans women is fighting for women’s rights.. well, what is a woman’s right that is necessary and distinct from men? And what would it be based on? How they feel..? Not all women “Feel” the same about anything. But ALL women are female. Women’s and girls rights are SEX based rights. Not “Gender identity” rights.
If gender identity becomes more important than sex all we are saying in most situations is that females need not apply if males are interested.
Exactly, when did we start playing sports with our identity?
I actually have. I've heard some arguments about completely removing gender-based categories and use skill based categories.
It's hilarious.
@@billylocke9633 especially when the concept of "gender" doesn't even exist in other languages. Like in Chinese, there isn't a different word for gender and sex; there is only a single word to describe the concept.
Your mistake is assuming that they care about logic because you are logical. They only care about the ideology.
13 years ago the argument was that gender is an identity while sex is biological. And most people weren't bothered because it was "whatever - you do you" type of thing. I just used biological terms (male/female) which annoyed people but I wanted to be clear in my language when discussing certain topics.
The problem is that about 7 years ago, someone said that wasn't the case and now no one bats an eye when a male says he is female - biological terms.
To the point that at my prenatal appointment recently the doctor said “as a pregnant person you….” And I had to cut them off and say “woman, I am a pregnant woman thank you.” I’ll be changing providers cuz I’m not dealing with this crap at the one place that’s specifically for women
Roughly around ten years ago I had acquaintances start identifying as non-binary as it was going around tumblr. Strange, but no big deal. I couldn't care less whatever made-up identity or sexual orientation anyone decided suited them, I'd use their preferred names and pro-nouns. Then I blinked and this shit starting taking over everywhere. Now it's in schools, in children's cartoons, it's changed the way people talk in government, you can be "X" on your driver's license, the gays aren't gay anymore because gender ideology canceled them out somehow, LGBT are infighting, bathrooms aren't segregated anymore, transwomen are infringing on women's rights, mothers are "birthing people." How did we get here.
What sense of achievement can Lia Thomas, who was around the 300 mark when competing as a man, possibly get in beating women and standing on a podium? What kind of delusional egotism is that?
If trans people want to play sport, it does not have to be a competitive sport where people are attempting to establish who is 'the best'. Go kayaking or cycling or rock climbing or whatever. You don't have to race.
Liked before even watching. ❤ Keep speaking up, ladies (and men)! 👏
The world that we live in is just crazy. The fact that people will harm you when speaking the truth. It's so sad, I also don't like being called a cis woman. I hate that it just a women. Cis people what the heck. Because i was born female you call me a cis. When did that all start. Our world is just messed up. 😔 Thank you for speaking out speaking the truth.
I hate being called "cis" and it is offensive. I AM A WOMAN!
I would suggest that actually its only a part of the world that are struggling with this issue. The social media and debates about this you will find are overwhelmingly between North americans .
I am a lesbian woman and hate being called cis, too.
It all started about 100 years ago.
You know what's funny, apparently the term Cis is referring to someone with biological male/female sex. So by that means, we are a real man/woman. They calling people Cis just directly prove a point that they are not real man/woman themselves.
when talking about being assaulted by men in dresses, Riley stopped herself from saying the punched like girls.
Nice save
but we picked up on it, anyway, right?
@@helenromanelli2544 yup, it's annoying when a fitting insult can negate your point
Riley is so well spoken and admirable. The fact that people feel the need to attack her physically, verbally just shows that they have no legitimate argument to the salient points she makes. Also, bringing up people like Micheal Phelps or athletes that are endowed with superior genetics doesn’t Also point out that these people are the EXCEPTION! Not the rule!
I remember when exposing yourself without the other person's consent was considered sexual harassment.
I really do wish that people would stop saying they "deserve" things, nobody "deserves" stuff just because they want it. Plus "demanding" respect??? Respect is *earned*
This loving and kind group, just aren't very loving and kind if you don't agree with them!!
shut up
The argument that trans people have been allowed in the olympics for 20 years is also false, there was a mexican runner that had to be tested to prove she was a biological woman, and i think there was also an african one that had the same issue like 10 years ago.
Only time, that we know of, this happened it wasn’t actually trans - it was Russia literally trying to pass male athletes off as women. And they did it successfully until it was found out
@@Catherine.Dorian. the mexican athlete is Ana Gabriela Guevara, and she did have issues with people thinking she was a man
@@Catherine.Dorian. Gotta love that it was an instance of men cheating! Proves the point perfectly.
South African, yes. Caster Semenya. Middle distance runner.
@@Catherine.Dorian. I love how you come up with shit like this since Russia never did that. But we are used to pointless hate and keep slapping back at your faces. You poor soul.
we were waiting this for long time ... yes thank Amala for bringing Riley as a guest
By far one of my favorite episodes! Please have Riley Gaines back, you guys together are a dynamite duo!!! 🤩💫🎇
The part about William Thomas " Following the rules" Is nonsense because they are not required to prove he is following the rules to anyone other than the school who is supporting him. If I were a women forced to compete against him I would demand proof that he was following the rules and then I would be labeled a transphobe. Besides the fact that No amount of hormone suppression will negate the advantages gained through male puberty
Thank you for calling him William, I'm tired of seeing even conservatives calling him by his made up name!
Agree, I hate the male puberty argument though. TRAs use it as a gotcha to justify the chemical castration of feminime boys.
@@poogissploogis I like to pronounce it as "Liah"... kinda like it's being said with a southern accent.
KellieJayKeen yelled “he’s a man” at leahThomas swim meet. And this 5:00 asked “are you a biologist?” And Kelly said “I'M NOT A VET BUT I KNOW WHAT A DOG IS” 😎
Well, how do you know for sure what a woman is? For instance , many gender traditionalists would argue that a woman must be attracted only to men, must dress modestly, etc
@@technoloverishare you not able to distinguish between cultural concepts and physical facts? That's very sad..
Gender stereotypes have always existed, and most of the are wrong. That doesn't change the fact that two different sexes exist.
Funny enough, trans activists are the ones bringing back so gender stereotypes..
@@auricia201
Yes, though most people who believe in traditional views of gender believe that the stereotypes are biologically based. I personally don't
@@technoloverish no they don't. However the opposite is true. The ones that no longer believe in "traditional views of gender" (which basically means, they think gender and sex is different), are the ones who believe and implement that crap
@@technoloverish women have xx chromosomes and a vagina
I don’t know how I missed this video coming out but when I saw the title I clicked so fast I absolutely admire Riley so much and can’t wait to see more from her in the future this was such an amazing collaboration (ig idk if that’s what it’d be called sorry) I absolutely agree with everything you both said in this video.
Riley is amazing!! I just saw it and clicked so fast as well!!
@@YepItsMeMsJMC0721 right she is the type of person young girls should be looking up to rather than the men saying they are women
@@HM-rw7ly if I were a mom right now I would be so nervous. I am going to be home schooling. That was the agreement when my fiancé and I started talking about marriage and children. The indoctrination in schools is scary. My sister lives in a county where (although it has the highest median income in America) the school has had a lot of trouble. A boy went into a girl’s bathroom and she was assaulted in the worst way. My nephew will be going there in 2 years.
@@YepItsMeMsJMC0721 yes exactly home schooling is just the better option now like it’s absolutely insane. My god that’s just awful did the boy even have any repercussions which is such a sad thing to even have to ask but it’s the reality of the world now. I hope your nephew will be ok in that kind of school
Im a person who supports trans people, having no issue with them, but this particular topic shouldn't even be an issue to begin with, it's literally as simple as "sports, physical activities, take physical factors into consideration"
at this point being labeled as 'transphobic' is just being labeled as correct.
Transphobic definition someone wins a argument against a progressive
I miss the 90's when the primary message was girl power
go back to the 90s
This is what “girl power” leads to.

Great episode ❤ more guests pls!!
Riley is awesome and fighting the good fight. Common Sense has disappeared today and it's nice to listen to someone with insight, integrity and perspective on the situation. 🇺🇸
i am not an expert, but i do recall that there is a certain level of testosterone that a woman athlete must fall within to be allowed to compete... and at some point two African women who were sprinters were actually banned from competing because they naturally had higher levels than your average woman. originally they thought it was doping, but no it was just how they were built. but it's OK for a man to put on a dress, check a box and bam... he is a woman athlete, that is not subject to the same rules and qualifications that real women are?
one of those women was a hermaphrodite, not a woman. that's what started the discussion.
In most workforces it's the reverse. Drop of a resume to HR and bam, your vagay-gay gets you in.
A norwegian man recently got accepted into engineering studies by newly identifying as a woman, seeing as there are quotas for women in male dominated professions. He's obviously smart, as he didn't even put on a dress.
I identify as an illegal alien, when do I get my free stuff! 😂
Oooooh.. Amala I love that you have Riley on the channel!
She was just in my neck of the woods! She talked at Adrian College. So proud of her! Keep it up, Riley! Just bought your book 👏🏻👏🏻🎉 I hope her and Gina Carano kick their asses 💪🏻 metaphorically speaking 😄
The only correct solution to this is not to create a third category but to just have these people compete in the category that fits their biological traits. We are overthinking this, guys.
I was thinking about this too. What if trans-men competed with women, and trans-women with men? Would that be fair to the women, or would the trans-men have a significant advantage due to testosterone??
@@SpicyNuggs562 Most trans men continue to compete in women's sports, very few actually even try to compete against real men. So all of the burden is being put on women's sports. They are basically walking all over us, because they know they can get away with it.
No to that.
Women don't want to be changing next to penises. So why force men to change next to take breasts and constructed vaginas.
A 3rd category protects men's and women's sport and provides transwomen a place to compete fairly with each other. Wins all round
Problem is in either one they are doping by taking hormones. I found it funny that women have problems getting hormone help for different issues ,but transgenders can get it without the question and limits that women get.
@@SpicyNuggs562pretty much. They'd use the argument that all the trans women were winning to say "see look, women CAN win against men!" we can't win as long as we entertain their bullshit even a little bit.
So great to see you two together!!! Amazing!
This made my day, Amala and Riley on the one show. Keep fighting this fight please ladies, doing a great job.
Brave and 100% right. Not transphobic. If she is making lots of money from all this, she is earning every penny. She is helping change the world back to where it should be.
Ladies, keep up the good work. This lunacy must come to an end sooner or later.
LOVE this video, grreat combination of two great inspirations for this generation. I love the fact that the all the truthseekers are coming together, spreading the truth and definately gives us hope. Love you guys ❤❤❤💯🔥
Riley, as a retired nurse and nana to a 1 year old granddaughter who already loves to swim, thank you for fighting for her, for me, and for all women. Stay strong, we are with you!❤
THIS IS THE BEST GUEST SO FAR. You're both putting in the work and Riley is a hero
Welcome in Riley! Really excited to watch this!
Imagine a bantam class boxer walks into a ring and finds out his opponent is a sumo wrestler? Would he be fatphobic for objecting to the match? What about a normal runner deciding that he wants to run in a Paralympic marathon. Should that be allowed? People are separated in sports categories with people of a similar physical level. This allows us to fairly see the skills and efforts of the participants.

As a man I find it infuriating that 90% of the support of trans in women’s sports is from women. I think most men and all straight men are against it. But when we get vocal about it. People just ask “why do you care so much”. More women have to get in line with these two ladies and speak up. If they do I guarantee the men will support you.
This should be a fight started and led by the female athletes.
Then men can be all supportive.
@@JohnSmith-kf8mvor men can start holding their fellow perverted and fetishistic men accountable instead of leaving the fight to women
Female athletes are fighting back,starting in middle school and it will continue. Feminists actually fought back decades ago and they were vilified . JK Rowling is one feminist who has a larger platform and has used it to stand up for biological women .
We are being censored, cancelled and fired for supporting and speaking out on our own biological sex. Even facts are censored on You Tube. Cannot "stand up" for ourselves if we are not supported to do so and when even the law and rules are against women doing so.
I completely agree. But as men, we are meant to help protect women, especially when they can’t, or won’t, protect themselves.
I love what Amala says toward the end about competitive sports being a sacrifice for those that identify with a different sex. Sacrifice is something everyone faces.
I once worked with a man who had to wear long sleeves at work because he had a tattoo on his forearm. Disney for years didn’t allow tattoos to be shown and even now there are restrictions on size and what it is. But this allowance is because society is much more accepting of tattoos.
That’s just one example of someone’s choice causing them to sacrifice another. There are so many more and gender identity shouldn’t be exempt from that.
In the state of Massachusetts a trans woman went into at movie theater and stabbed three girls and then drove off and went to a MacDonald's and stabbed two workers. This person was also linked to a murder in the state of Connecticut.
Two young women who I, as an old woman look up too .
I'm so hopeful for the younger generation with two intelligent young women leading the way .
Your Mums must be so very proud of you both

A lot of people talk about scientists and anthropologists etc when talking about physical differences between men and women.... I'm an artist. I've spent a lot of time studying the human body, understanding the motion and function etc in order to draw accurately to life. The tiny differences between men and women are SO important, and if it's important in art... then how much more important is it when it comes to something physical and competitive?
Great point. We move differently for sure and that impacts the competition.
There IS a Third category already... Paralympics.... So obviously trans category should exist as the fourth. Lol
i remember commenting on one of amala’s videos about Riley Gaine’s point of view. i’m a HUGE supporter of her, as a male swimmer myself.
Riley is so strong and brave and stunning. I wouldn't have been able to keep it together after everything she faced, all that harassment. Really glad you got her as a guest on the show!!
I love it when they tell you do do the research. They never give suggestions on where to get this information no matter how hard you plead with them. In other words, they want you to look for something that may not even exist.
It's the same argument flat earthers give you (Do your research ). Transgender arguments hold the same amount of water as flat Earth arguments.... which means none
Even worse than that, they think that because they found it in a Google search, that it must be truth. So they'll search for terms in bad faith, creating a narratively-driven query; instead of searching for genuine information about the topic, they'll specifically search for phrases and words that support what they want to find. Then when they find even a single result, even if that result is a link to one single idiotic twitter checkmark comment, they'll believe they've found proof and tell you to find the same "proof" they did when anyone with brain cells to spark together will never be able to replicate the retardation that led them to that result in the first place. They're SO stupid and brainwashed it's becoming genuinely frightening
So true, they always love to say that you’re “uneducated” but they never come with facts.
Yep. It’s a kind of entitlement expecting someone else to do your own homework so you can debate with no facts on your side
It is an algorithm controlling tactic. Even if half of them might not even realize it themselves that they are using it.
By not giving a source or starting point it makes it so most people would begin in the most obvious place and google keywords aligning with their rethoric. Most normal people wouldn't start by searching the falsifying information first.
So now instead of putting factual phrases you introduce a bunch of bias confirmation phrases as query and it builds up the results until it is the most searched info and the one at the top.
The Griffin guy there was on one of the trans 'debates' hosted by Jubilee.
The crossover episode we needed 🎉
Super stoked for this collab. Maybe it wont be the last they do!
I haven’t watched yet, but this is the partnership I’ve been waiting for. What an impressive pair of young women. Lead the way ladies. Society needs you! ❤💕🔥
Rather than a men’s category and women’s category, it ought to be thought of as a women’s category (in recognition of the physical disadvantage inherent in sex, which will always deny women the opportunity to participate in sport unless a protected category exists) and an open category (which, while it will by default almost always BE a de facto men’s category, at least at the elite level, should nonetheless be theoretically open to the odd remarkable woman who is capable of competing at the highest level, at least where safety isn’t a factor)
I’m a lifeline athlete in my 30s. I could not imagine being in school as a little girl now and having to step aside so a man can feel special because he was too mediocre to compete with his own sex. I’d get beat up for sure
