Riley Gaines Threatens Legal Action Against University Following Alleged Trans Activist Assault

Riley Gaines, a former diver, is threatening legal action against San Francisco State University after being allegedly assaulted at the college by trans protesters on Thursday.

Gaines, who swam for the University of Kentucky and advocates against trans athletes participating in women’s sports, said she intends to sue the school for its inaction after a protester allegedly punched Gaines twice and she was forced to take refuge in a classroom, the New York Postreported.

” The school law took no action. The professor of scholars was present but did nothing, according to Gaines. ” Unless I am involved, there won’t make any consequences.”

Gaines also reprimanded a San Francisco State executive for praising the demonstration but omitting to mention the alleged abuse.

In an email to students, vice president for school matters Jamillah Moore expressed her pride in the instances in which our students showed the importance of free speech and the right to peaceful protest. ” To come in a challenging building required considerable bravery.”

I apologize if this really said Pleasant. Gaines responded to Moore’s’s assertion by saying,” I was assaulted. ” I was held at obscure and extorted. If I wanted to make it home successfully, the protesters insisted that I pay them. Due to a school barricade, I was unable to board my flying home. We may define peace in various ways.

After competing against transgender swimmer Lia Thomas, Gaiens has spoken out on upholding the integrity of women’s’s sports.

The Biden administration announced new proposed rules Thursday prohibiting schools from issuing blanket bans on transgender participation in sports. Schools would have to demonstrate that a decision to ban a transgender athlete “minimizes harm to others.”

Students at elite universities are increasingly pushing for trigger warnings and the suppression of unwanted speech. Last week, Cornell University rejected a request from its student government to issue trigger warnings for potentially uncomfortable topics in the classroom.

Students requested the option to” opt out” of starting conversations about topics like” transphobic violence” and” homofobic harassment.”
