Speaker 1: We live in a world where we are supposed to
Speaker 1: celebrate men who put lipstick on and call themselves women.
Speaker 1: Doesn't make sense. I mean, how can a woman have
Speaker 1: a panis? How can men give birth when they're not
Speaker 1: wired that way? When God didn't make them that way.
Speaker 1: But we're told to just shut up and accept this
Speaker 1: clown world that we live in. You're a bigot if
Speaker 1: you speak out, you're transphobic. If you speak out, shut up.
Speaker 1: There's this intentional blurring of the lines between truth and lies,
Speaker 1: a distortion of the facts, intentionally a blurring of the
Speaker 1: lines between what's right and wrong. They want us to
Speaker 1: live in a chaotic world where anything goes and anything
Speaker 1: goes society, a society that allows evil to thrive in.
Speaker 1: I won't accept it. I refuse. That's not the world
Speaker 1: that I want to live in. That's not the world
Speaker 1: I want to raise kids in. That's not a world
Speaker 1: where that even allows for common sense to exist. And
Speaker 1: we need more people who will speak out. We need
Speaker 1: to celebrate people who are willing to speak out. And
Speaker 1: one of those people is Riley Gaines. She's a former
Speaker 1: University of Kentucky swimming star who was a twelve time
Speaker 1: All American and a five time SEC champion. It's pretty incredible.
Speaker 1: She had a swim against Leah Thomas, who's a man.
Speaker 1: How is that fair and how is it brave to
Speaker 1: celebrate a six foot one man competing against women in sports?
Speaker 1: Where's the bravery in that? And why hasn't the NCAA
Speaker 1: stood up for female athletes, where the older generation of
Speaker 1: women athletes standing up for the younger generation. Why does
Speaker 1: this twenty two year old have to do it. But
Speaker 1: we're fortunate to have Riley Gaines on this show because
Speaker 1: she is brave, she is courageous, and she is blazing
Speaker 1: a path for younger generations to live in a fair
Speaker 1: and just world with common sense. Stay tuned for Riley Gaines. Riley,
Speaker 1: I really appreciate you joining the show. I think you're
Speaker 1: tremendously brave, and you know, we need young people like
Speaker 1: you speaking out because we need to have younger generations
Speaker 1: influence and I think it's going to take young people
Speaker 1: to do it. So I really appreciate what you're doing,
Speaker 1: of course, and I totally agree with you, and just
Speaker 1: thank you for giving me the opportunity and the platform
Speaker 1: to continue speaking out. Are you ever just like, where
Speaker 1: are the older people? You know? Why do I, as
Speaker 1: a young person, have to take on this role? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: When I first initially started speaking out last year after
Speaker 1: our inc doable A Championships, I was truly looking for
Speaker 1: a coach to say something, or someone with political power,
Speaker 1: or someone within the NC double A. I thought it
Speaker 1: needed to come from them, until it kind of hit
Speaker 1: me that if we as female athletes aren't willing to
Speaker 1: stick up for ourselves, how can we expect someone else
Speaker 1: to stick up for us? And so I understand, I
Speaker 1: understand that it has to come from female athletes, but
Speaker 1: I think it's truly crazy. You know, I'm only twenty
Speaker 1: two years old, and I've been exposed and thrust it
Speaker 1: into this position where I never felt fully equipped for.
Speaker 1: I still don't feel fully equipped for. And so it
Speaker 1: is a bit mind boggling that one there's not more
Speaker 1: people my age speaking out in two the older generation,
Speaker 1: the generation that fought relentlessly for title nine, and of
Speaker 1: course the Me Too movement. Where are all these people?
Speaker 1: Where are the men the coaches? Who is taking precedent
Speaker 1: and acknowledging that the women's sporting category is at jeopardy? Here? Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, what's the point of women's sports now, right?
Speaker 1: I know, Well, it's interesting because there's so many obviously,
Speaker 1: there's so many organizations like the IOC, which is the
Speaker 1: Olympic Committee, and all these sports specific organizations that have
Speaker 1: all of these strict policies for doping and performance enhancing drugs.
Speaker 1: But now suddenly, when the trans issue is brought to light,
Speaker 1: they say testosterone has no effect on performance. But if
Speaker 1: that was the case, there would be no sporting categories.
Speaker 1: We would just have one big free for all and
Speaker 1: men compete against women and it would be relatively equal
Speaker 1: and how it panned out, but that's not what we
Speaker 1: would see. And we all know that if there was
Speaker 1: no sporting or specific categories. May I have three brother as,
Speaker 1: I have an older brother who used to beat me up,
Speaker 1: as most older brothers do, and I can tell you
Speaker 1: men have a competitive advantage, so I had to deal
Speaker 1: with that absolutely, you know, at the tower point, Riley,
Speaker 1: you know it's I mean, I do think it's important
Speaker 1: for younger generations like yourself to speak because I think
Speaker 1: you're going to have a better time influencing your peers
Speaker 1: and younger generations. But adults should also be there protecting
Speaker 1: people like you and standing up for you. And also
Speaker 1: the nca A, I feel like as an obligation to
Speaker 1: to stand up for its female athletes. But you know
Speaker 1: where have they been, Well, they've been the ones perpetrating
Speaker 1: all of this. They were the ones who explicitly subjected
Speaker 1: us to undressing in front of a naked male, to
Speaker 1: which these past couple of days, it's come out that
Speaker 1: the naked male that we were in dressing in front
Speaker 1: of really is just a part of the agpunity community,
Speaker 1: which is the autogenophiliac, which means you're sexually aroused from
Speaker 1: dressing as a woman. So the nc double A, rather
Speaker 1: than protecting us as females, they put us in that situation.
Speaker 1: It might I add, they never disclose to us, forewarned
Speaker 1: us that we would be in that situation. They told us,
Speaker 1: of course that we were competing against Thomas, but we
Speaker 1: had no idea, nor did we give them our consent
Speaker 1: to share a changing space with a biological man who
Speaker 1: I might add is fully impact with male genitalia. So
Speaker 1: obviously then he gets aroused by this and you're subjected
Speaker 1: to it. I mean, the way I look at it
Speaker 1: is you know that's a sexual harassment incident. Absolutely, and
Speaker 1: that's that's what you would think. But it's it's almost
Speaker 1: comical because now the Biden administration is actively trying to,
Speaker 1: of course, rewrite Title nine to where it is not well,
Speaker 1: I guess sex would now equate to gender identity. So
Speaker 1: under Biden's new Title nine rewrite, it would actually be
Speaker 1: sexual harassment if I missed gender Leah Thomas. But it
Speaker 1: is not sexual harassment. For Leah Thomas to show his
Speaker 1: body parts to us as we are undressing, that is
Speaker 1: not sexual harassment. But me using the pronouns heat him,
Speaker 1: now that that is so it's almost comical. Any sane
Speaker 1: person would hear that and laugh, like, is this really
Speaker 1: how far we've come as a country that this is
Speaker 1: what we're defining a sexual harassment. I mean, I can't imagine,
Speaker 1: you know, I've been in locker rooms, I played sports
Speaker 1: growing up. I can't imagine being in a locker room
Speaker 1: and then having a naked man staring at me and
Speaker 1: just the level of intrusiveness, the level of violation, embarrassment
Speaker 1: even of having to be subjected to that. Right, it's
Speaker 1: a subconscious I mean, it's in a you feel uncomfortable
Speaker 1: when you know a male gaze is in the room
Speaker 1: while you're undressing, like you immediately want to cover, which
Speaker 1: I want to add, a swimming locker room is not
Speaker 1: a place of modesty. Generally, these suits you put on,
Speaker 1: their skin tight. It takes about fifteen minutes to which
Speaker 1: you're fully exposed putting these suits on. And not to
Speaker 1: mention it's a distraction more than anything. We are supposed
Speaker 1: to be there, supposed to be on our a game,
Speaker 1: competing to the best of our ability. But let me
Speaker 1: tell you, it is so hard to not let that
Speaker 1: incident be a distraction, which of course inhibits your performance
Speaker 1: capabilities and how well you perform when you're not mentally
Speaker 1: all there. Swimming, of course, like most sports is, it's
Speaker 1: extremely mental. Of course there's a lot of physical that
Speaker 1: goes into it, but the mental toll it has on
Speaker 1: you is huge, and so it was a distraction well.
Speaker 1: And then of course the ironies. You mentioned the changes
Speaker 1: that Biden's trying to make. But then when he chose
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris as a VP, he one of the boxes
Speaker 1: he wanted to check as the fact that she's a woman.
Speaker 1: But if being a woman no longer matters, then what's
Speaker 1: the point. You know, It's like, we just live in
Speaker 1: such silly times, and you know, of course this doesn't
Speaker 1: make sense. No, I know, Well, the thing is, truthfully,
Speaker 1: I feel like it makes sense to ninety five percent
Speaker 1: of people, if not more. Which same person would truthfully
Speaker 1: say that men and women are athletically the same, No one,
Speaker 1: at least if they are. I can't comprehend that. But
Speaker 1: majority of the people, we know what's happening is wrong,
Speaker 1: and this translates far beyond sports, just this whole gender
Speaker 1: ideology propaganda, what's happening in elementary schools, what's happening within
Speaker 1: prison systems in the US. I mean, we know that
Speaker 1: this stuff is wrong, but people are terrified of being
Speaker 1: labeled as transphobic, which at first I understood when I
Speaker 1: first spoke out, I was scared of being called transphobic.
Speaker 1: But now I've realized that it doesn't make me hateful,
Speaker 1: it doesn't make me transphobic. It doesn't make me a
Speaker 1: bigot to understand and publicly say that there are two sexes,
Speaker 1: that you cannot change your sex, and that women deserve
Speaker 1: respect and opportunities, again in sports, but far beyond sports
Speaker 1: as well well. And how many times do you hear
Speaker 1: about a man entering women's sports and then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, you know, they start breaking records when they
Speaker 1: were not able to do that among other women, Right,
Speaker 1: that doesn't You don't hear a lot of women entering
Speaker 1: men's sports and then they start breaking records where we
Speaker 1: saw that with Leah Thomas. No, you don't, And I
Speaker 1: think it's important to add last year at our instable
Speaker 1: A Championships, where we had, of course Leah Thomas, who
Speaker 1: is a male to female transitioner, at the same meat,
Speaker 1: we had a female transitioning to male who had reassignment
Speaker 1: surgery on the top, who had a double in sectomy,
Speaker 1: who went by heat him name was now Isaac, but
Speaker 1: of course was swimming with the women because this person
Speaker 1: would have never qualified for NC double as a as
Speaker 1: a male. So this proves that the women's category is
Speaker 1: what's at jeopardy, not the men's category. This said swimmer,
Speaker 1: who is now a trans man is competing with the
Speaker 1: men and went from being an All American phenomenal female
Speaker 1: swimmer to placing glass every time as a man. Actually
Speaker 1: the other day got second to last and be a
Speaker 1: man with one arm. So that's what we're looking at.
Speaker 1: There's so much talk of trans women competing with women,
Speaker 1: but hardly I mean crickets from trans men in the
Speaker 1: men's category. How did Leah Thomas do when he was
Speaker 1: swimming against other men? Leah the year before transitioning ranked
Speaker 1: four hundred and sixty second at best in the men's category.
Speaker 1: There's people who will say Leah was ranked six, Leah
Speaker 1: was this. First of all, I'm a swimmer, I know
Speaker 1: I know how to follow this stuff. That's not true.
Speaker 1: Leah might have placed six at a conference meet or
Speaker 1: at a duel meet, but Leah never even remotely qualified
Speaker 1: for NC double as as a male. This was not
Speaker 1: a lateral movement, which is why this conversation is necessary.
Speaker 1: Had this have been a lateral movement and we had
Speaker 1: science that could prove these hormone suppressors, which we know
Speaker 1: would never I mean, even with hormone suppression, there's certain
Speaker 1: advantages that would never be mitigated. But let's say in
Speaker 1: theory they could. This could be potentially a different conversation.
Speaker 1: But this is not a lateral movement. This isn't Leah
Speaker 1: ranking five hundreds, placing five hundreds in the women's category.
Speaker 1: This is Leah becoming the fastest woman in the entire country,
Speaker 1: beating out Olympians, American record holders, and some of the
Speaker 1: most impressive athletes, female athletes of really our time. What's
Speaker 1: frustrating about that? So? I played field hockey and lacrosse
Speaker 1: growing up. I almost played in college. I tore my
Speaker 1: acl as I was getting recruited, and it was kind
Speaker 1: of one of those situations where you know, all the
Speaker 1: D one schools, we're like, yeah, I don't call us,
Speaker 1: we'll call you. Okay, I got onofficial visits and stuff.
Speaker 1: But you know, it all happens how it's supposed to.
Speaker 1: But but the frustrating thing about this, especially in swimming,
Speaker 1: I mean there's a level of dedication and hard work.
Speaker 1: I mean you were busting your butt to get to
Speaker 1: the level that you did, working incredibly hard, and then
Speaker 1: to basically have this, you know, unfair competition. I can't
Speaker 1: imagine how demoralizing and frustrating that is after sacrificing so
Speaker 1: much to reach this level as you did. Right, And
Speaker 1: you're exactly right by saying there were sacrifices made. I
Speaker 1: swam like most swimmers at an elite level. I mean
Speaker 1: essentially all swimmers. It's impossible to find a swimmer who
Speaker 1: started swimming before or after the age of six. I mean,
Speaker 1: I started swimming at four and it was every day,
Speaker 1: which sounds crazy, but you dedicate your life to your sport.
Speaker 1: I missed out on proms, I missed out on vacations.
Speaker 1: Every summer at college, we were forced to be at
Speaker 1: school taking classes so we could train. I mean, there's
Speaker 1: so much you give up, which I'm so grateful for.
Speaker 1: I'm not sitting here winding about giving things up. I
Speaker 1: was more than willing to give these things up. But
Speaker 1: it's because I was dedicated to being the best that
Speaker 1: I could be. But when you have a biological man
Speaker 1: come in there and you have to race against each other,
Speaker 1: it just feels like you're starting the race with your
Speaker 1: hands behind your back. Like it's so just heartbreaking. I mean,
Speaker 1: of course, Title nine was created to protect women's sports
Speaker 1: and opportunities, and it just feels like this is regressive.
Speaker 1: And the left likes to look at this as it's progressive.
Speaker 1: We're moving forward, but this is taking us back fifty
Speaker 1: years in time. This is not progressive. It's actually quite
Speaker 1: the opposite you've had where I think you tied Leah
Speaker 1: Thomas and they gave the trophy to him on the
Speaker 1: podium because they wanted him to be in the photos
Speaker 1: with the trophy. And then you were nominated by the
Speaker 1: University of Kentucky as their nca Women of the Year.
Speaker 1: But so was he, even though he's not a woman.
Speaker 1: So it's like that that is just totally frustrating. Yes,
Speaker 1: it felt like especially in the instance of when we
Speaker 1: tied and they have one trophy and they give it
Speaker 1: to Thomas, and when I questioned him, he was like, well,
Speaker 1: Thomas has to have it for photo purposes. It just
Speaker 1: felt like we as female athletes, were reduced to a
Speaker 1: photo op to validate the identity of a man. And
Speaker 1: that's truthfully what pushed me over the edge into speaking
Speaker 1: out is when they told me Thomas had to have
Speaker 1: the trophy for picture purposes, it was like it all
Speaker 1: made sense to me, which of course it did before this.
Speaker 1: But what the NCAA was trying to do was save face.
Speaker 1: They're following the money, they're fall owing this loud minority
Speaker 1: because they don't want to get in trouble. They don't
Speaker 1: want to get sued they don't want to deal with backlash,
Speaker 1: but I made it my goal for them to have
Speaker 1: to deal with backlash when they put us through what
Speaker 1: they put us through. Did any Upen swimmers stand up
Speaker 1: and say this is wrong? Because of course he was nominated.
Speaker 1: He was picked to be their NCAA Women of the
Speaker 1: Year in competition there so did any Upen female swimmers
Speaker 1: step up? Not publicly, they did some stuff anonymously. They
Speaker 1: sent emails. I've talked with several of them over the
Speaker 1: course of these past couple of months. One of them
Speaker 1: has been kind of filling me in on all of
Speaker 1: the silencing methods that their university has used to ensure
Speaker 1: that they're quiet, which is heartbreaking because now not only
Speaker 1: is this an issue, of course, with the fairness in
Speaker 1: our sports, but this has become an issue with freedom
Speaker 1: of speech. And their schools made them go to mandatory
Speaker 1: LGBTQ meetings every week when they were concerned about the
Speaker 1: locker room piece, and they reached out to their their university,
Speaker 1: and I swear I have a screenshot of this. I
Speaker 1: can't believe it's even in writing, but their university said,
Speaker 1: if you feel uncomfortable seeing mel Genitalia. Here are some
Speaker 1: counseling resources that you should seek, and then they were referred,
Speaker 1: of course, the LGBTQ Education Center on campus to educate themselves.
Speaker 1: They were told that their school has already made their
Speaker 1: stance for them. They're told they're never they will never
Speaker 1: get into grad school, they will lose friends, they will
Speaker 1: never get a job if they speak out. One of
Speaker 1: Leah's teammates actually was sexually assaulted in high school. She
Speaker 1: was raped, and so she was dealing with all of
Speaker 1: this trauma. And when Leah came out and transitioned, she
Speaker 1: immediately sat with her coaches and said, Hey, like, this
Speaker 1: is what I'm dealing with. This is my past. This
Speaker 1: is really triggering to me and it causes me a
Speaker 1: lot of anxiety. Is there something we can do? And
Speaker 1: her coaches said, no, sorry, suck it up, which is
Speaker 1: just to me. I mean, I'm fortunate enough I've never
Speaker 1: had to go through anything like that necessarily, but I
Speaker 1: just can't imagine feeling so hopeless and no one who
Speaker 1: was there, who's there to protect you, doing anything to
Speaker 1: actually protect you. Quick commercial break more with Riley Gains
Speaker 1: on the other side. So obviously you're dealing with all
Speaker 1: this stuff behind the scenes. At what point were you
Speaker 1: just like, I need to speak out? You know? What
Speaker 1: was it? Why did you decide to speak out? You know? I, truthfully,
Speaker 1: like I said, I knew what was happening was wrong.
Speaker 1: I knew the competition was wrong. I knew the locker
Speaker 1: room situation was wrong. But it was when we were
Speaker 1: sidelined so Lenda could have the trophy That's when it
Speaker 1: occurred to me that someone has to do something. Because,
Speaker 1: like I said, I was truthfully looking for someone else
Speaker 1: to do it. I wanted some other swimmer to take
Speaker 1: a stand and I could kind of follow quietly behind them.
Speaker 1: But I started thinking of all of the warriors and
Speaker 1: trailblazers who fought for Title nine. I started thinking of
Speaker 1: one day I just got married. One day I hope
Speaker 1: to have daughters, and I started to think of their future.
Speaker 1: What if no one speaks up? What would that mean
Speaker 1: for my daughter's Sports has given me so much and
Speaker 1: so many skills, so many leadership skills, the confidence to
Speaker 1: continue doing what I'm doing and not care about the backlash.
Speaker 1: I want my daughters to have that opportunity of my sons.
Speaker 1: If I'm fortunate to have sons. I can't imagine them
Speaker 1: not having the same access and resources that I did.
Speaker 1: And that's what pushed me over the edge. And so
Speaker 1: I called my my athletic director at the University of Kentucky,
Speaker 1: and he's an amazing and amazing person and we have
Speaker 1: a good relationship, and so I called him and I said, Hey,
Speaker 1: this is what happened. These are my convictions. How do
Speaker 1: you feel about me taking a public stance And he said,
Speaker 1: speak your heart. I will support you in anything you do,
Speaker 1: which now I'm realizing God put me at the University
Speaker 1: of Kentucky. He put me in the position to where
Speaker 1: Leah Thomas and I tied because there's no other athletic
Speaker 1: director in the NC double A who's a supportive of
Speaker 1: their athletes and their true convictions as Mitch Barnhart was
Speaker 1: to me. So I'm so grateful for my university and
Speaker 1: my coaches. I never dealt. Dealt was silencing, which is
Speaker 1: one hundred percent an anomaly, you know, and then what's
Speaker 1: been you know, obviously you've had the support of the
Speaker 1: University of Kentucky, which is beautiful to hear that. You know,
Speaker 1: there's still places of sanity out there on all of this.
Speaker 1: What's been the public response? Like, you know, how has
Speaker 1: that been for you? You You know, at first, it was
Speaker 1: hard for me to handle all the negative comments, all
Speaker 1: the death threats, all of the comments about my appearance,
Speaker 1: and so many people telling me that this isn't what
Speaker 1: christ would do, You're not a Christian. That was hard
Speaker 1: for me to hear. But now, oh my gosh, the
Speaker 1: support is tenfold. I mean, there is so much more support,
Speaker 1: especially as people get more comfortable and more instances happen
Speaker 1: similar to the Leah Thomas one again in prisons, I
Speaker 1: mean just all over where women are essentially getting erased,
Speaker 1: people are becoming more vocal, and people are providing support,
Speaker 1: and it has been so so much more support than
Speaker 1: anything negative. And now I'm so secure with myself and
Speaker 1: I stand so firm that the negative comments go in
Speaker 1: one ear and out of the other. I know I'm
Speaker 1: not transphobic. I think that word is socially I'm not
Speaker 1: scared of trans people. I do think trans people should
Speaker 1: have rights. I think no one should be denied athletic opportunity,
Speaker 1: but we should all compete fairly. What makes one person's
Speaker 1: identity and mental health and feelings more valuable over a
Speaker 1: whole other groups, their mental health, what about their feelings?
Speaker 1: Of course, no one's asking that about us and us
Speaker 1: as female athletes, so but there's been so much more
Speaker 1: support than anything negative. Well, if you've noticed, you know,
Speaker 1: it's a tactic of the left to label people names.
Speaker 1: You know, for instance, you don't get the vaccine, you're
Speaker 1: an anti vaxx. You know, it's like there's always a
Speaker 1: label to try to, you know, put the societal shame
Speaker 1: on people that they want to shut up. And it's unfortunate,
Speaker 1: but to your point, you just have to know, you
Speaker 1: know what they're going to do this anyways, and I
Speaker 1: know what I'm doing is right. I've had so many
Speaker 1: conversations with my family, with my friends, lots of prayer,
Speaker 1: and I know my true heart, I know my true
Speaker 1: intentions and my true intentions or not to advance myself
Speaker 1: personally throughout this matter. But it's to make changes both
Speaker 1: at the state and federal levels. So this doesn't have
Speaker 1: to happen to any girl. Again, no girls should compare
Speaker 1: themselves to a man. Is that where you get your
Speaker 1: strength from through your faith? Definitely, it's a huge part
Speaker 1: of me and here recently, I feel like I don't
Speaker 1: know if I was just naive before, but I just
Speaker 1: feel like with everything happening in our society, I mean,
Speaker 1: look at what's happening, what happened at the Grammys where
Speaker 1: we have someone dressing up as Satan. I mean, I mean,
Speaker 1: I just feel like we live in this godless society,
Speaker 1: and I feel like that's kind of why we've taken
Speaker 1: this spiral down to which I think everyone can agree on.
Speaker 1: Look at what's happening. I mean, there's so many different
Speaker 1: assets that I'm not even just sports, this is far
Speaker 1: beyond that are just plummeting. And so I feel like
Speaker 1: we just live in this godless society where we've lost
Speaker 1: our morals, We've lost our sense of common sense, like
Speaker 1: our common sense, our understanding of truth and reality and
Speaker 1: logic and how that's crucial. We have people who deny
Speaker 1: truth till they're blue in the face, and it's really
Speaker 1: heartbreaking to see and to hear. I totally agree with you.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's been a total blurring of
Speaker 1: the lines of what's right and wrong and an intentional
Speaker 1: chaos that they're creating and defying of the truth intentionally,
Speaker 1: because a lot can thrive in chaos, right, It creates
Speaker 1: and anything goes society, and it seems like that's the
Speaker 1: whole intention of this, and also why they have such
Speaker 1: a problem with people like you standing up for what
Speaker 1: is right and standing up for what is true. There's
Speaker 1: no open dialogue anymore either, and I know you kind
Speaker 1: of touched on this. If someone doesn't agree with you,
Speaker 1: it's just labeled them as something. There's no conversation, which
Speaker 1: is what I wanted to engage. And I've reached out
Speaker 1: to CNN and left wing sites and media outlets numerous
Speaker 1: times to have me on because I want to spread
Speaker 1: the message to more than just conservatives, because I think
Speaker 1: this is something that matters and should matter to more
Speaker 1: than just conservatives. But they're unwilling to even have me
Speaker 1: on to talk about it, which is sad because I
Speaker 1: think this is something that we should conversation, that we
Speaker 1: should embrace with open open hearts, open minds. But that's
Speaker 1: of course not the way this and so many other
Speaker 1: issues are going. I do believe that bravery leads to
Speaker 1: other bravery, and I think you sort of setting a
Speaker 1: path and standing up will eventually lead to other people
Speaker 1: doing the same. So I deeply respect you. I'll give
Speaker 1: you myself if you ever want to talk. I'm here.
Speaker 1: I've worked in the media. See, you get used to
Speaker 1: being called things, so it's a sunfortunate but I sympathize
Speaker 1: and empathize with you. So Riley gay, and you're a
Speaker 1: heck of a woman. Very proud of you. Tons of respect.
Speaker 1: Thank you for doing what you're doing well. I appreciate
Speaker 1: that so so much, and I thank you for everything
Speaker 1: that you do. Truly, it's just inspiring. So thank you
Speaker 1: those Riley Gains speaking out on some of this transgender
Speaker 1: craziness that we live in, this crazy society that we
Speaker 1: live in, standing bravely for the truth. So she mentioned
Speaker 1: twenty two years old, very young to have that much
Speaker 1: wisdom and to have that much bravery and strength. So
Speaker 1: I appreciate her coming on the show. I want to
