What is Riley Gaines hiding? We investigated…

This podcast appeared in my feed today via an affiliated show… I know it is naive but it’s still hard to believe how blinkered - and unbearably smug the US liberal wing is on this. This is rubbish ( from the ‘Center for Investigative Reporting’, which I now wouldn’t trust to tell me if it was raining), but still enlightening… wondered if anyone else had heard it.

A six month dig to discredit Gaines - we’re not supposed to notice that everyone they’re trying to gotcha in this won’t dignify any of it - that finds her hiding (spoiler alert) nothing?

You know nothing about competitive swimming. I do, my daughter did it for years.

Racing swimsuits take about 20 minutes to put on. They are tight, to the extreme that you inch them on bit by bit. If you pull too hard, they tear. They are absurdly expensive.

There is NO way Thomas put his suit on under a towel. No way in hell. Physically impossible.

So yes, he exposed himself. His genitals had to be in full view for all the women to see. The women had to be fully naked for the same amount of time to put theirs on in his presence.

There is literally no other way to put a racing costume on

Utter BS. You could easily do that with a towel around you however tight when it got to the lower part.

And in any case no witnesses back up Gaines….IN A ROOM FULL OF TEAM MATES. Not one.

False. Only Gaines claimed Thomas exposed herself. The other complaints were about Thomas' presence in the change room with individuals in the podcast claiming she was covered in a towel & kept to herself.

And you have claimed this before sighting evidence that said no such thing.

Edited

He’s a man. With a cock. Flashing it around the women’s changing rooms.

Insta? Sorry I use my 'real' name there & it isn't "howse".

" Howseitgoin " Is very distinctive. Most people would use howsitgoin or howsitgoing. Or even howisitgoing. The e in the handle gave it away. I'm not interested in your protestations. You and I both know I'm telling the truth. It was your very male speech and attitude that made me search, and the strange addition of the 'e'.

Lol your reading comprehension is as good as your ability to debate in good faith or be honest in your answers.

What a desperate reach.

Geez, I dunno maybe a 6 foot four male bodied person might have a bulge showing in a swimsuit?

Maybe someone told her she didn't have surgery?

The facts are she has made no such claim of nudity.

Listen, this individual testified no such thing AND others who were present claimed a towel was used.

Now you can continue yammering on about a generalised twitter comment all you like but that's hardly a testimony & as anyone who isn't in denial that their poster transphobe girl is a champion grifter knows.

Oh, so now it's testified, is it? Really? This is really pathetic. You would rather move the goal posts from 'no one else said that', 'Paula didn't say he didn't use a towel' 'ok but not using a towel doesn't mean she saw anything' to now it has to be sworn testimony than admit you were wrong. I feel embarrassed for you.

Howse, you’ll also be relieved to know that you’re certainly not the first to be accused of being male on this board. Any poster who is brave enough to actually say something a bit different is face with that accusation, and worse. I’ve had it repeatedly and I’m menopausal.

Only in TRA La La Land would someone think it’s a legitimate debate as to whether a man’s cock was fully out, partially out, or still covered while he was in a place he shouldn’t have been.

And attempt to use "LT wasn't exposed, a woman was forced to undress in front of him!" as some kind of gotcha 😂

All while ignoring the tweets that prove that LT was exposed in front of PS, as well as that PS found having to change in front of him violating and distressing!

It's a facepalm twofer folks! Round of applause that man!👏👏👏

Oh and who has the time to trawl through Hows prolific posting history to find the one post where he mentioned he was in fact a man? I don't 😂 I'm not the only poster who remembers Hows saying he was a man though.

He was nude without a towel.

Of course he was nude in front of her and she said him nude.

FFS, you're embarrassing yourself. You must know this yourself on some level. Get some self respect.

How on earth could you see a poster’s Instagram?

NextRinny · 27/11/2025 06:39

Correction - whales.

ThatBlackCat · 27/11/2025 06:39

This is the thing about men. They'd rather ruin their reputations and look ridiculous than admit they're wrong. Male stubbornness is a real thing. Myself and other women will readily admit when we're wrong. It's a very male trait to be too 'proud', too stubborn to apologise. Yet another (in a long long long line) male 'tell'.

If you stuff up or get something wrong, as we all do from time to time, you gain credit and greater standing by admitting you got something wrong. It's a benefit. This, is what women know and understand. It's what men do not know, and do not understand.

NextRinny · 27/11/2025 06:38

Meh, no point engaging the whale. Anyone who can believe obvious untruths despite the truth staring them in the face will believe anything despite proof of the contrary.

That's not a personal admission of sighting LT's nudity.

I just think this ‘red flags’ idea about Gaines is absurd. This podcast - and poster here - are going after her by association because they don’t like Trump and think anyone he favours must be awful, holding her responsible for the behaviour of her male coach, and because they simply truly believe that this is just a white blonde woman being vile to another woman.

The very idea of the importance of single-sex spaces is completely ignored and Thomas’s sex is an elephant in the room, and that’s why I find this abhorrent. Like Brexit, the US left will never get itself together over Trump until they actually figure out that the people who vote for him aren’t cartoon idiots who need telling what’s what. That was one of the biggest takeaways from this exceedingly disingenuous ‘investigation’.

Aren’t you doing the same ‘guilt by association’ here by blaming the left?

What Torres uncovers here isn’t absurd. RG does have GOP platforms, a regular spot on Fox, is on the lucrative speaking circuit, has some odd Christian nationalist and anti-immigration views, and is a vocal Trump supporter. That might sit okay with you, but not me. I’m fine with her campaigning for keeping men out of women’s sport based on her experience, even if some memories of that experience may vary, but it is the political crusading from the results that is troubling.
