Children look up to athletes…recording artists, actors, etc….they become very influenced by their idols.
Simone is a fabulous role model….Riley, not so much…..oh and BTW….Riley is a BOY’S name!!!
Riley is a name for both sexes; just like Taylor, Reece, Jordan, Kelly, Jackie, Leslie, Lindsey, etc.. I could keep going but it isn't necessary. There's legitimate reasons to call Riley out but her name isn't one.
Yeah, I'm glad... but I hated the thought that "a separate league for trans people" as if that would be an option that any of us would want to take. It didn't work in the first half of the 20th century and doesn't work here either.
The Civil Rights Act played a part, right? The CRA where they added in equal rights for women thinking that would sabotage the bill to fail... But it still took passing the law or winning at SCOTUS. Now, I don't see those two things happening until at the earliest 2026.... and not even then.
I am so tired of the transphobia. Half these people don't actually care, they just need a reason to be hateful to trans folks yet again cuz we live rent free in these people heads for some reason. It's always some asinine shit too. "Protecting kids" yes cuz all of us are out here bothering your
I told my grandmother a similar thing a couple years ago. If someone's household values are so delicate that their kid can't even know I exist, they're probably not particularly good values.
As a fiercely competitive female athlete (yes, assigned at birth), I’ve outplayed plenty of boys. The blanket idea of male athletic superiority is both ignorant and insulting. Also: the obsession with hyper-competitive youth sports? Total waste of time. Fight me.
Not with you on this one George. Men & women are different. Especially in sports. Physical sports shouldn't have men competing against women. No matter what's between their legs. They're still different.
She came tied for 5th. She lost to 5 others BUT she only attacked the Trans athlete with whom she tied. It's not about "what's between their legs", she's a hateful bigot looking to cash in.
She didn’t attack Thomas. She is trying to make sure female athletes don’t have to compete against males, and don’t get flashed or ogled in locker rooms like she was.
This is what happens when you disagree with another person. You can't agree to disagree anymore. You try to change people's minds. I treat all people the same. If you're nice to me I'm nice to you. Period. You go ahead and keep trying to put one person above another, but we are all the same.
The most pathetic part about your comment is that you first claim that men adn women are different and then, when called out on your BS, you say we are all the same.
All you have shown is that you are ignorant bigot and a bully that likes to pick fights you are unable intellectually to win.
You neither deserve respect or kindness, because clearly you were not taught to treat others with compassion and were not raised by people that loved you enough to teach you that to be treated kindness, you must be kind as well.
This this this!!! Why does it fucking matter if you don't agree that someone can change their gender identity? Just respect someone and be kind enough to just address someone how they wish to be addressed because it's RESPECTFUL and KIND to do so. It doesn't bother anything or anyone to call someone
And yet, you are not able to rebut it
That is because you are neither educated, or intelligent enough to do so.
You don't actually have any evidence or knowledge. You just have your bigotries & respond like a toxic mean girl when called out.
A sign of bad parenting and not being loved as a child.
Your ignorance is not equal to someone else's knowledge.
The tthat you are whining for being called out on your BS is pretty telling and is evidence that you do not deserve anyone's respecting your bigotry.
I feel fine. I am a decent enough person that I don't punch down to a group of people that are less than 1% of the population.
But I feel sorry for the people in your life and I hope the toxicity you bring to them is over soon.
Jesus Christ. Are you a mini Trump? That's why you're so fucking hated. If we don't like what you're doing we're bigots. We simply do not agree. Why is that such a fucking problem for you guys. I'll give my opinion any time i dam well please. If you don't like it, don't read it.
Gaines went after a high school softball team, claiming they only won b/c of a single trans player. She devalued the hard work of every kid in doing so and put the trans player at risk. None of that was necessary.
I feel Riley would totally club her in the knee , Kerrigan style if she thought it would platform herself higher.
And she would get a man to do it for her too.

Taylor Ruck, Isabel Ivey, Kelly Pash and and Lillie Nordmann.
Take the L, reflect and get over yourself, and keep training instead of taking it out on trans athletes.
She found her niche in hatred & disdain for others
Riley = Chumpion
So there is that too…
I know she’s trying, but come on. Segregation is not the fucking solution here.
Better to be thought a fool, than to prove that you are one.
