She is the swimmer who has spoken out about Lia Thomas (both about him exposing himself in the changing room and being forced to compete against him). Now she's been attacked at San Francisco state university https://twitter.com/hogshead3au/status/1644202379376578560?s=61&t=gd6tu0Iz6JpyKXGLWMLGjg The mob violence is escalating

Not to derail but Sitt, it's not just men, though. It looked and sounded to me like the loudest were women. I've stopped thinking of them as handmaidens, and started thinking of them as footsoldiers. The kind who enlist through patriotic zeal.

There are plenty of female Generals, too. Susie Green, Nancy Kelly, Ruth Hunt, Stephen Whittle, various MPs and HoL members, Chase Strangio and Jeanette Jennings in America, and all the youtubers who have cut their breasts off and make videos telling girls how cool it is, and on and on and on.

Men and women have different motivations for opposing women's rights, but we can't pretend that there's not an awful lot of women who are (a huge) part of the problem.

This is getting so frightening. NZ, then the trans shooter last week, now this.

They are mistaken if they think they will stop us speaking. But some grown ups have to intervene and speak out against this.

I hope Riley is OK.

I watched that video and I wondered if transactivism has taken on a life of its own and that the violence won't stop even if governments around the world suddenly woke up and recognised women as human beings. They have been emboldened by getting away with the it for too long. They only seem to attack women.

They are like the Red Guard. Seems as if they are being enabled by governments and police forces. I can only imagine it is a matter of time before something really really tragic happens.

I just read this earlier news.uoguelph.ca/2023/03/listen-to-women-femicide-rates-climbing-u-of-g-led-research-finds/

Soaring rates of femicide in Canada. The most 'progressive' nations are the ones where MVAW is now state sanctioned

How do we even begin to try deprogramming all these oung people who have been through a school and university system where they've been indoctrinated into believing lies, like TWAW...? This is getting really dangerous, now.

I hope Riley is OK. And I hope the zealots understand that they are proving Riley's point for her.

That’s a lotta angry men running after a woman and joyfully shouting obscenities with gusto at her. I love moments like these being captured on camera.

Its hugely sad but we’re not back to square one here even, the misogyny is way beyond anything, like before women had public toilets and had to pee before going out abx before the suffragettes. Nice one progressives.

I hope she’s ok. I guess after NZ this kind of thing is going to happen. Those people are deranged lunatics

Abused, then punished for speaking out. Curious to see how the university responds….
