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

'It took tremendous bravery to stand in a challenging space'

Bloody hell. Utterly Orwellian.

She says she will take legal action:

EXCLUSIVE: Riley Gaines says she will SUE after San Fran State University praised trans-rights activists for a 'peaceful' protest where she claims she was assaulted and held for ransom - and asks: 'Does my freedom of speech not deserve to be protected?'
"Gaines, speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com, argued the event was 'quite literally the exact opposite of peaceful' and she plans to take legal action to hold the school, the students and campus police - who she described woefully unprepared - accountable.

'I think that what you have to do to make changes in regards to protecting freedoms is to go where it hurts which is the pockets,' she said. 'If I weren't to do something, there would be no repercussions for these people.'
'Something needs to be done to hold these people accountable, whether it be the student body, the administration...they need to realize is that what happened to me was violent, was completely wrong and it was criminal,' Gaines alleges. 'They weren't even peaceful in an alternate universe.'

Gaines told DailyMail.com accused her alleged assailant - who she says was a transgender woman and her boyfriend said was 'a guy in a dress' - of hitting her first in the shoulder and then in the face before an undercover campus cop came to her rescue.

The swimmer claimed she was barricaded in a room at San Francisco State University for three hours to protect herself from the 'vengeful' mob who were demanding they be let in to 'fight' her. San Francisco police said there were no arrests.
Gaines also alleged that the protesters 'demanded money' in exchange for her freedom, which she sees as being held for ransom, a federal offense.
She said that she's dealt with campus police all over the country at speaking engagements and that they are usually prepared but said that she started to sense something was wrong at San Francisco State when, she claims, police skipped out on a meeting 90 minutes prior to her speech.
Gaines believes that a fear of being accused by the woke mob of having done something untoward to one of the students is what led to her situation.

'What I noticed about these police to what they actually admitted to was they didn't feel comfortable asserting themselves in a way that would make them seem as if they were in a position where they could be accused of racism or transphobia,' she claimed.

'They were terrified which resulted in them not doing their job correctly,' she alleges. 'I have been to many other campuses where I have spoken about this same topic and campus police did a phenomenal job.'
'They could have found me and talked to me,' she said. 'They never said anything.'

The only excuse she says she has been given as to why there was no plan in place is that they thought 'someone else had communicated it on our behalf.'
Gaines says that San Francisco State University police have reached out to her to set up a meeting in an attempt to clarify what happened, but she says no one else from San Francisco State, aside from a friend who attends the school, has contacted her.
'These people and the administration and the campus police, truthfully, deserve to have repercussions.'"

Good. If there's a crowdfunder, I'm in.

And I hope she identifies the individual students. The vice principal should be sacked and prosecuted.

I will gladly contribute too.

There cannot be law and a police system that special groups or subjects are exempted from. There cannot be authorities acting on identified personal realities where they look you in the face and lie. There cannot be the ridiculous sight of a bunch of screaming yobs imprisoning people and police who are apparently not capable of dealing with it, and then some idiot thanking the yobs for what? Not actually killing anyone as they broke multiple laws?

This batshit is now way out of control. Trump on crack. It is being pushed to the point where the only solution is that it will have to go, along with the liberal left nutjobs in positions of power, police and other services.

nilsmousehammer · 10/04/2023 10:19

And I'll add:

This is why it is so ridiculous when someone to try and shame and shush women from noticing and criticising, produces script number 23 and witters about 'well it's only x, why are you so silly as to let it take up head space when there's all those real things to worry about'

Do you want to live in a society where the law applies to some and not others?

Do you want to live in a society where a crime can be committed, and those in positions of responsibility look at the videoed evidence, look you straight in the eye and not only say 'that didn't happen' but tell you that they saw no crime and praise the perpetrator for their lovely behaviour?

Do you want to live in a society where, when the law no longer serves impartially and focuses on equal justice, and so vigilantism rises because people who cannot access the law have been stripped of the bargain that they do not seek justice themselves because they can trust the police and courts and authorities to do it fairly for them?

If you're insane enough to say yes to the above then you can only be doing so because you see yourself as part of and protected by the privileged group who shall be served above the lower castes, and you are ok with injustice so long as you are on the right side of it. Which means you are a twit, because that leaves you with nothing more than hope that as fashions shift, you remain on the side of the currently favoured.

Amazed st how brave she is, and totally the right course of action to take.

MarshaBradyo · 10/04/2023 11:09

Good I’m glad she’s suing

Boiledbeetle · 10/04/2023 12:19

The Trans Rights Activists get more aggressive every time they get away with it. Every time they are patted on the head for their thuggish behaviour.

It's like watching the school yard bullies who are worshipped by their parent's and instead of punished treated to sweets as a reward.

I suspect some of them were those children. The rest seem to be the ones that were probably picked on by those children.

I think this is most likely. At high school they were probably the weird, kooky, gender non-conforming kids who got a load of abuse from the jocks. They’ve gone to university and found their tribe and realised they can have the power for a change, and that as a collaborative group they can stick it to those who used to stick it to them. Gaines probably represents that, being white, blonde, attractive, sporty, popular, well spoken, unswayed, secure, confident, Christian. They quickly saw their opportunity to make her the representative of all those who have wronged them in the past and take it out on her. The fact she is a woman emboldened them and enabled them to do so, because a man of similar standing wouldn’t have been so easy to intimidate. It’s much easier to throw out the word “bitch” compared to male-oriented slurs.

I would hope a good number of them would look back on their behaviour with profound shame.
