Riley Gaines hilariously highlights the absurdity of the claim that transgender women are women



Former college swimmer Riley Gaines highlighted the utter absurdity of radical leftist gender ideology after someone made the oft-repeated, preposterous claim that transgender women are women.

"Trans women are women," J. Perkins, who describes himself on X as an "antiracist educator" and "higher ed lawyer," wrote a dozen times in a post. He also calls himself "woke."

"Hot dogs are dogs," Gaines mockingly wrote 12 times in a row when responding to Perkins' post. "A confident, outlandish statement ≠ reality," she added.

When swimming for the University of Kentucky in 2022, Gaines and then-University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas, a man who identifies as a woman, tied for fifth place in the NCAA women's championships 200 freestyle final, according to swimmingworldmagazine.com.

Gaines has become an outspoken opponent of radical leftist gender ideology and its negative impact on women's and girls' sports.

"You're clearly a very confident person, despite being an open transphobe. How about you speak to me directly, @Riley_Gaines_?" Perkins wrote.

"Gladly. Trans woman are, in fact, males. It's not opinionated or hateful. It's fact. You're also clearly a very confident person, despite being openly racist. Glad to have a conversation there if you need anything else cleared up as well," Gaines replied.

"Sure, we can put a pin in your transphobia for a moment. Please do explain how I’m racist? Lol," Perkins wrote.

"A two-second look at your profile is all anyone needs to see this definition applied," Gaines answered, while sharing a screenshot with a definition of racism.

Perkins then told Gaines that he was going to mute her on the social media platform. "Imma mute you now because you clearly don't even know definitions of the terms you're throwing around. Stay in school. Seriously," he wrote.

When someone on X asked whether it makes a woman "transphobic" if she does not want to change in the presence of a man like Lia Thomas, who exposes himself, Perkins called the person's post "nonsense" and claimed that only "bigots" suggest that such scenarios occur.

"I'm not suggesting it happened. I'm telling you it is. Because it happened to me and my teammates. The general consensus of how we ALL felt was violated, betrayed, and traumatized. Only a misogynistic pig would disregard that and tell us we're the problem," Gaines replied.

New study claims eating just 1 hotdog reduces your life by 36 minutes



Researchers at the University of Michigan School of Public Health, Department of Environmental Health Sciences say that eating just one hotdog shaves 36 minutes off a person's life, according to a recent Fox News report.

What are the details?

The study's authors explained that their newly released nutritional index aims to inform Americans about how to achieve "healthier and more environmentally stable diets," the outlet reported.

Among those on the index's danger zone included hotdogs, sugary drinks such as soda, and breakfast sandwiches among the biggest offenders.

Fruits, non-starchy and mixed vegetables, and cooked grains were among the best health defenders.

According to the outlet, researchers determined that consuming just one 85-gram serving of chicken wings shaved off about 3.3 minutes of life, while an all-beef hotdog resulted in 36 minutes lost "largely due to the detrimental effect of processed meat."

However, consuming a peanut butter and jelly sandwich increased a person's life by 33 minutes, and other foods such as "salted peanuts, baked salmon, and rice with beans" also saw gains between 10 and 15 minutes.

What did the authors say?

"We use the results to inform marginal dietary substitutions, which are realistic and feasible," authors wrote. "We find that small, targeted, food-level substitutions can achieve compelling nutritional benefits and environmental impact reductions."

“Previous studies investigating healthy or sustainable diets have often reduced their findings to a discussion of plant-based versus animal-based foods, with the latter stigmatized as the least nutritious and sustainable," a portion of the study, published in the August 2021 issue of Nature Food, said. “Although we find that plant-based foods generally perform better, there are considerable variations within both plant-based and animal-based foods that should be acknowledged before such generalized inferences are warranted."

Researchers also concluded that swapping 10% of daily caloric consumption from food items such as beef, processed meats, and other unhealthy highly refined foods, for other higher quality food items like leafy green vegetables, nuts, and more could render "significant health benefits," Fox News added.
