It’s hard to care when all my life I’ve heard women complain that it’s not fair they can’t compete with men or would say men and women are equally good at sports. Well you got what you wanted so deal with it
@@Lawrence_Talbot NO women never said they wanted to compete against men - unless those were times where there were no women or girls sport and they simply wanted to participate in some way. Even still, typically the girls had to outperform just to be allowed play with boys teams, for a limited time. Women and girls wanted to have parity in athletic programs - that was all they really wanted. There was practically nothing before title 9. I remember, I was there. Women know they don't have the same physique as men, their bodies operate differently and they have different needs related to their biology. Why is it that certain men do not understand that? Are they expecting them to be the same? There's plenty of work that does not relate to brute strength or who lifts more weight. And there are some jobs where that matters. Again, WHY is this supposed to be a crime of women who want to SURVIVE by getting a job or want a space to play their own game and achieve their own medals? Only bitter men and trans males want to see women and girls get harmed by unfair and unsafe policies.
@@KevinStone-bf5ey Try thinking about the other women who missed out. Riley Gaines spoke up for them not herself. Unlike Mr. Thomas who appears concerned for himself and cares nothing for those women. Better yet, just try thinking, period.
yes she needs to teach little girls one thing. when you fight for and make a law saying women are equal too men. that its unwritten but given that men are equal to women.
@@TheHopetown seems as you are confused. this isn't about biden. its about equal rights this girl and her mother and grandmother fought for. now that someone figured out equal rights are equal rights she want more than her share again.
In truth she is standing with the wrong people for Donald Trump. is nothing more than a romantic failure who is constantly consistently aligning and surrounding himself with those who commit the weakest form of criminal conduct which is a sexual crime how's that for a locker room talk? So she needs to know that he identifies as such so when he went into the missed pageants locker room in Russia he had no right to be there. If she understood the truth about Donald Trump she would definitely be able to be a louder more efficient voice for women in sports and even outside of sports. She has the youth and intelligence to bring real awareness. These points have been scientifically classified religiously verified in other words even if she gets transgender their own locker room people like Donald Trump are always going to be peaking under the doorway.
So. Had the woman been given the medal for photo ops , would you have been okay with it ? Sports are to be inclusive . You're not supposed to discriminate on color gender or sexual orientation. The problem is that neither the NCAA , nor the athletes had ever thought something like this would happen ? Even the Olympic committee had to have a rethink for women athletes having abnormally high testosterone levels. Surely with time there will be better laws.
@Omnamahshivay8079 Yes we would of been okay with it if a women won the medal.... BECAUSE ITS A WOMENS SWIMMING LEAGUE!!! THEY GAVE THE MEDAL TO A MAN WHO SWAM IN A WOMENS LEAGUE!!! I cannot believe that you commented that!!! "Would you have rather seen a women win the medal in the Womens League or the man pretending to be a woman?" I just can't believe people that supports this it's completely sickening. Just utterly sickening.
@@Omnamahshivay8079unfortunately, sexual orientation and gender does play a part. Because it's just a fact that men are physiologically different from women. There's a reason there are men's categories and women's categories in sports. It's because their orientation is different and so it's only fair that they compete against others who have the same orientation. That's like saying I should be allowed to compete in the under 12 category as a 17 year old. So gender does very much play a part. Because both genders are physically different.
Long story short: lower-ranked man pretends to be a woman so he can pretend to be a champion and if you tell the truth about it you're evil and deserve to lose your livelihood.
As a survivor of assault I just cannot even imagine what those women felt going through this. I would have taken off running, I wouldn't have been able to endure what they endured.

Men should not be competing in women’s sports. That’s it. If biological men can compete in women’s sports…why not abolish women’s sports in general and just let everyone compete together? BC MEN have more physical strength, endurance etc GENETICALLY
Also, no one should be allowed to identify oneself what he/she wasn’t conceived as. The fact that transgenderism was even allowed is why this ever started! Although, Bruce Jenner had achieved all the success before he transitioned, he’s still a hypocrite. He’s right about keeping men off of women’s sports, yet he accepted the “Woman of the Year Award”. So, he’s in the wrong, too. Also, some Dutchman changed his gender to enter and possibly win a women’s beauty pageant is also wrong! If this is ever going to change, we need to help these people who desire to change their gender. We need to show them that they are what they are conceived as. There are no excuses or exceptions!

@luisvargas3075 I agree he should never have been there, but it doesn't change the fact that Riley Gaines was a mediocre swimmer. For all people criticize him and claim he "deprived" her, ironically Lia Thomas is the best thing that ever happened to her - if not for her feud with him, all she'd be remembered for (if anything at all) was for being a lazy diva, which was her reputation before this race... Unlike Taylor Ruck, Isabel Ivey, Kelly Pash, et al, who have actually genuinely worked hard and truly been deprived of recognition because their accomplishments have been upstaged by this scandal
I'm so sorry 💔 You are an amazing woman and athlete. Thank you for your courage to fo the right thing Younger girls and women will hopefully be helped. This has to Change!!
Woke group has redefined the modern definition of gender. That is why this is happening, banning an xy identified as "women", in "women's swimming", is like calling them a "man", which is upsetting them, understandable. Just like in boxing, you have light and heavy weight, which can be measured. We should rename all sport category to xx swimming or xy swimming. Measure the chromosomes with blood test before or after every competition.
Lea set the trans movement back and did only harmed all trans people. Her pursuit of glory coupled with her seflish egotistical narcissm negatively influended Americas views on transgender. Her actions and reverberted deep, affecting all trans even those not trying to compete in womens sports that are trying to in peace and respect true women. She should have. Respectfully, stepped aside let Riley her place is the true woman victor and insisted she get the photo up and keep the trophy. Can only wonder what then Rileys views and opinioms on trans people wouldve been? Riley can sometimes be disrespectful in her commentary but she's justified and i dont blame Riley i blame Lea.
I'm not sorry for saying this:

I guess they do not believe in spreading hate & discrimination

@@lisahardy9707You are pretty much spreading hate & discrimination towards Women in Sports by telling Women who is saying it’s not fair to shut up, sit down & deal with it
Thank YOU. for standing up, and staying strong!!!
Sometimes things have to happen so we can get a hero like you
agreed
Yes
Heroes are men. You maybe meant heroine. Unless she's trans and you were trying to be sarcastic.
Since when is a whining about losing out on FIFTH place heroic?
@@maggierioux6501 The thing is Thomas wasn’t suppose to compete in Women Sports because Thomas is a Man, not a Woman
That’s what Riley is saying
From a mother who has a little girl... Thank you!!! We all owe you for putting your life on hold to fight this fight for our little girls! I cannot even believe we're here right now.. fighting for women's right yet again! My daughter is a multi-sport athlete and I'm extremely concerned for her and her future in sports and in the bathroom!! Women already do not have the same advantages as men in sports and how far we can take our sporting career - & now we have to compete for a spot against MEN in WOMENS sports in the short window of opportunity!? I'm just blown away that there are people out here who are ok with this! Just heartbreaking.....
I admire this woman for being a voice when others are frozen of shock or fear like deer in headlights
Thank you, Riley. Doing Gods work. Can't imagine being in a locker room with a man exposing himself and it being accepted.
That is sooo shocking and gross
The sickest and most despicable part of this is the people in positions of leadership at the college and NAACP knowingly caved to politics and fear. In doing so violated female athletes.
What does the nation’s most well known advocacy group for the rights of African-Americans have to do with anything?
My heart truly breaks for her. She dedicated her entire life to swimming . For a man playing dress-up to take it away from her is just disgusting.
..you just don’t get it do you…that the most lowest ranked men in sports are far better than the top ranked women.. Lea Thomas has proved that women are not equal to men… they don’t even come close😂😂
In truth she is standing with the wrong people for Donald Trump. is nothing more than a romantic failure who is constantly consistently aligning and surrounding himself with those who commit the weakest form of criminal conduct which is a sexual crime how's that for a locker room talk? So she needs to know that he identifies as such so when he went into the missed pageants locker room in Russia he had no right to be there. If she understood the truth about Donald Trump she would definitely be able to be a louder more efficient voice for women in sports and even outside of sports. She has the youth and intelligence to bring real awareness. These points have been scientifically classified religiously verified in other words even if she gets transgender their own locker room people like Donald Trump are always going to be peaking under the doorway.
Great young lady that makes sense.
Well done Riley! From England 🏴 I am sick of this nonsense. You are a perfect example to my daughter and I will tell her about you. Most people don’t have the courage to stand up for what they believe in. Nice one 💪
She tied at 5TH PLACE. She lost to 4 other "biological women". A transwoman didn't steal her place.
Riley you're a true champion and Lia is neither a man nor a woman I hope God can forgive him for what he's doing
Lol what is she doing?

Thanks, Riley, for speaking up. You're a great encouragement. Stay strong. Don't give up. Jesus Christ is leading you where you need to be. ❤
Courage and strength to you in your just cause, Riley. You are admired by many.
Wow, Riley is awesome!! So sick and disturbing what happened to her and all the other actual female swimmers. The leaders and officials involved who made those decisions need to be fired asap
Lia thomas needs to be arrested, it disgusting how this beauitful women is working hard and getting a slap in the face.
Riley Gaines, I'm a 66 year old man, former Soldier, former Cop, Robotics Engineer and have traveled around the world 5 times in my lifetime.....
I'd like you to know that you girl, are one of my greatest HEROES....
You are a true American Hero for all Americans to look up to and emulate in our lives‼️🇺🇲‼️🇺🇲‼️
You make me proud to be an American, and it's people like you who make America the Greatest Country in the World....
Thank You and God bless and keep you, always....
Well done for standing upon for female athletes. 👏
Riley inspired me to no longer stay quiet on this issue. Riley is the real feminist fighting for women. I don’t care if she’s “conservative” or republican or whatever group she identifies with. She’s a real feminist fighting for women and she is a hero!! I stand with her!!
Unbelievable!! You tied and you were ROBBED!!! So proud of you!! Praying for you 🙏🙏🙏
Insane. Wow. So sorry she had to go through this 😢
Admirable young lady a shining light
Simply unbelievable and shame on all the cowards who actively participated and allowed this to happen!
Riley, you were born for such a time as this. God has changed your life's direction, and you have responded well. Have faith in Him, for He has an even greater reward stored up for you in Heaven. God bless you and keep you!
You TIED agaist a Dude!! Be proud. life's disappointments are just beginning sweetheart
This is not about life being unfair. This is about the idiots in charge making sure that life isn't fair for women.
Women have an unfair advantage in life if it wasn't true you wouldn't be doing your hair and makeup
@@eljoemissiletoe3438 unfair advantage, because women wear makeup. What happened to you? I am too busy feeding animals and growing food to wear makeup.
@@annsumner8570 me too with the feeding animals and children and plants I was just screwing with people,there are two rights to every situation just like making people think and now ENGAGE despite having so many plants and animals and children to feed 🤣😹👍follow back Heux
Riley thank you. We will not let them
Win. It’s sickening and disrespectful.
This is ridiculous that this true young woman had to go through this. We know that she was the legitimate winner. I'm glad she is standing up for biological women.
Thank you for your true bravery! You are a hero! My Daughters and I appreciate you!! ❤
Ms Riley - This guy can't compete against men so he's taking advantage of women not only in the sport but free to see you and other women in places and situations he would never have a chance to at no other time.
Does anyone know if the NCAA has rectified this egregious violation? Give Riley her trophy and win!
She got a trophy (all 8 swimmers did, as standard)... But they tied for 5th place - Taylor Ruck was the winner
Riley is were she needs to be. She's such a strong women. She's a true winner. I think we can all see that
You are a true patriot! Unfriggenbelievable! The college, the coaches,anyone else involved especially that Man should be ashamed of themselves. Good luck to you. Our prayers are with you.
unfortunately they will ignore this just because it goes against their agenda.
Just wondering where all of the “me too” big mouths are in this woman’s defense??? Oh, yes, I forgot...they are silent because it doesn’t fit the narrative they have been bought to follow!!!
Kudos to this young woman with more courage than our entire congress combined!!!
A sign of the times in which we live indeed. A time where evil is called good, good is called evil...and everyone does what is right in their own eyes!
May God have mercy on those who fear Him!!! 🙏🏼
Total support from France...❤❤
And South Africa
You would think all women would support her

Nobody hates women more than other women.
You’d think Fox News and the MAGAcult would concern themselves will the problems Government is tasked with solving not some bulsht Evangelical social issues 😂
Many do but are afraid to speak out. One Of William Thomas's real women teammates wanted to, but the university sent them an e-mail saying that if they did "You will regret it." That is an actual quote from the school.
I’m sick of seeing this guy steal from women.
Thank you Riley for standing up for women, young girls and truth!
Riley has become an icon for women's rights in the women's sports
Riley! I really think that you should consider politics! We need your voice and we pray for you! Thank you for fighting for all women athletes! 🙏🇺🇸
May Father GOD Bless You Riley Gaines For Standing Up
❤good job Riley. And thank you 💕
keep will out of womens sports, he doesn't belong their. protect womens sports.
"Lia" Thomas should never be remembered as a champion; he should be remembered as a cheater.
What a beautiful young woman I have a granddaughter in the sport it’s a lot of work helping,driving ,money ,sitting and to have some freak trying to take it away
NOBODY took it away she competed & placed 5th
@lisahardy9707 your right a NOBODY did win. Are you still pissy because you don't have to tuck it when you play dress up? Wahh utube wahhh
@@lisahardy9707 You will feel better once your bottom surgery is completed, Are you still on for fall?
It angers me that Men like me treated women's sports like a second & easier chance.
I as a male couldn't beat my opponent in an arm-wrestling match in school so I've train my muscles for many days & eventually i beat him.
Going into recent Transitioning & beat Women's sports earn to be on the top spot is a cowards play knowing from inside they still can't their biological male counterparts like Male Swimmers who beaten Lia Thomas before Transitioning
Thanks for your bravery and fight for the right!
She won. Not the man 💯
She was not blessed to be recruited she is a breat and that is why all the schools wanted her. Go girl
@@jpsmusicandmore5457 explain?

Keep on keeping on Riley! As a father of a daughter and sons YOU should not have to fall victim to an agenda. You are a winner at life !! Parents, teach kids to change gears NOT genders.
God bless you Riley!
Ladies...your silence on this topic is compliance. Remember this as women's sports and even womanhood is slowly erased. Add with that the fact that you are now referred to as birthing people my some.
That's what makes me the maddest as a father when she said i felt like the people who where supposed to protect me didn't. Every father needs to fight for these young people
This woman deserves a respect!!!

This shouldn't be allowed, there should be trans sport and have themselves compete with each other and not F things up for all male or all female sports, Riley Gaines was deprived of her recognition and hard work smh
@@luisvargas3075 deprived how? She never finished higher than 5th in a ranking event. She was a mediocre swimmer at best
@@DaveAndBeth1978 regardless a man shouldn’t be placed higher than any other woman competing in their league
@luisvargas3075 I agree he should never have been there, but it doesn't change the fact that Riley Gaines was a mediocre swimmer. For all people criticize him and claim he "deprived" her, ironically Lia Thomas is the best thing that ever happened to her - if not for her feud with him, all she'd be remembered for (if anything at all) was for being a lazy diva, which was her reputation before this race... Unlike Taylor Ruck, Isabel Ivey, Kelly Pash, et al, who have actually genuinely worked hard and truly been deprived of recognition because their accomplishments have been upstaged by this scandal
I'm so sorry 💔 You are an amazing woman and athlete. Thank you for your courage to fo the right thing Younger girls and women will hopefully be helped. This has to Change!!
The 2024 election should put a stop to all this BS. Riley Gaines is a hero!
definition of heroism
Woke group has redefined the modern definition of gender. That is why this is happening, banning an xy identified as "women", in "women's swimming", is like calling them a "man", which is upsetting them, understandable.
Just like in boxing, you have light and heavy weight, which can be measured. We should rename all sport category to xx swimming or xy swimming. Measure the chromosomes with blood test before or after every competition.
She is wellspoken etc. Maybe lawschool and after that politics....
Not only Lea Thomas should be sued, but all who supported him must be sued.
I hated the one story where she tied with Thomas and then they gave Thomas the trophy and told her they would “mail” her one 😢
That's been disproved
This video should be trending.
Lea set the trans movement back and did only harmed all trans people. Her pursuit of glory coupled with her seflish egotistical narcissm negatively influended Americas views on transgender. Her actions and reverberted deep, affecting all trans even those not trying to compete in womens sports that are trying to in peace and respect true women. She should have. Respectfully, stepped aside let Riley her place is the true woman victor and insisted she get the photo up and keep the trophy. Can only wonder what then Rileys views and opinioms on trans people wouldve been? Riley can sometimes be disrespectful in her commentary but she's justified and i dont blame Riley i blame Lea.
Keep fighting. Dont ever stop.
Thank you for speaking up!!
❤ Riley 💪
Badass, brave and beautiful
