She doesn’t care about trans people. She was initially supportive, but shifted to extreme rhetoric when faced with truckbeds filled with money to act like a bigot on tv. If anything, that’s actually worse.
There you have it. She interviews about as well as she swims. We didn’t get an answer to our question, but we can safely assume Riley sucks shit at every other sport she’s ever played.
This is really fine work.
Not good enough to podium and it’s all the fault of a trans person that was equally not good enough to podium. /s
Threw off her swim mojo. Definitely not because she’s the 5th best swimmer in that group.
Riley Gains is an ironic name for someone who loses so much
Fucking brutal \m/
Was this the same swimmer that John Oliver talked about in his trans athletes episode?
The very same. :)
The same Riley Gaines who sucks at swimming? The Riley Gaines who is a transphobic piece of shit? That Riley Gaines?
That one, indeed. 🙂↕️
Here’s a neat podcast about that.
She really does suck tho, lol.
The ending is also pretty great. It turns out being good at a sport is completely decoupled from gender, and no one knows what makes people good.
Four of the fastest female swimmers in the world, from left to right: Simone Manuel, Summer McIntosh, Kate Douglass, and Katie Ledecky. We wanted to include Riley Gaines, but she wasn’t fast enough :( sad!
😘👌🏼😆
