Riley Gaines details 'traumatic' experience with Lia Thomas and SFSU assault. RileyGaines LeftWing Transgender READ:
Former University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines described the"traumatic" experience she and other female athletes endured while sharing a locker room with transgender athlete Lia Thomas at the NCAA championships and the violent backlash she has faced since speaking out Tuesday before Congress.
"Our safety, our privacy, it doesn't matter," she said."We should smile and step aside and allow these men into our space, or else you're a bigot." "He looks at me, and, word for word, he says, 'Oh, we actually got around this by making the locker rooms unisex. So, it's not a big deal.'""Lia Thomas' teammates, who dealt with this every single day, all year, when they expressed their discomfort to their administration, and they sent an email, and I swear I have a screenshot of their response.
"We fight back!" the chants rang out, and Gaines began to fear for her safety. That's when protesters inside the room opened the door, and more protesters began to"flood in," she said.
