Riley Gaines jokes she’s quitting women’s sports activism after protesters chant ‘f–k you’ and ‘can’t swim’: ‘Sike!’

Former collegiate swimmer-turned-activist Riley Gaines laughed off a group of foul-mouthed demonstrators protesting her appearance at a Milwaukee event before the GOP presidential debate on Wednesday,

The dozen or so protesters, some holding a large banner that read “Stop Trans Genocide,” repeatedly yelled “F–k you, Riley” on an otherwise quiet city sidewalk. They also chanted “Go home Riley” and “Can’t swim Riley,” a video Gaines posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, shows.

“Shiver me Timbers, I’m so scared!!!!!!!!” the former University of Kentucky swimmer wrote.

“The only things I’ve found protestors (sic) can say about me is 1) some variation of calling me a bigot 2) calling me ugly 3) telling me I should have just swam faster and trained harder if I wanted to win. But now we’ve unlocked ‘Go away’ and a sign that says ‘bye Riley.’” she added.

Gaines, who tied against controversial trans University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas in the 2022 NCAA Championships, has since advocated against biological men competing in women’s sports.

Can you imagine the outrage in the media and left, but I repeat myself, if people protested against Thomas with signs and chants saying he should have just trained harder an swum faster if he wanted to win...against other men?

The whole notion of "homophobia" or "transphobia" is pure absurdity. Who is AFRAID of these numbskulls?

The ones who are afraid are the ones who keep silent for fear of being turned against by people who claim to be friends.

If they turn against you over this, they aren't friends.
No loss, only a clarified illusion--the very thing that crowd has difficulty handling.
