College swimming champion Riley Gaines says she plans to take legal action after San Francisco State University praised students for 'peaceful' protest at an event where she claims she was assaulted and held for ransom.

Gaines, 23, says she was forced to barricade herself inside a room for around three hours at the campus Thursday night after a group of activists ambushed her, in an alleged assault she called 'violent, completely wrong and criminal.'

She was giving a speech to students about competing against Lia Thomas, a transgender woman, at the Women's NCAA Swimming Championships last year. It's unclear what exactly set off the fracas but video shows students loudly drowning out Gaines' speech about competing against 'biological males' in women's sports.

I believe they will give it up because it is

a) extremely unpopular

b) absolutely ridiculous

If it were just the latter then I could see them going on, but since it is so unpopular then I can’t see it lasting long now.

"I believe this mass madness will go away soon and fashionable people will pretend they never supported it. Just like “repressed memories” or “multiple personality disorder”. Almost no one will suffer damage to their reputation."

Sort of like "COVID".

“Lia Thomas, lopped it off”

Then he is now a eunuch and still not a woman.

Stanford is a private university. No public funds.
