SFSU student association accuses Riley Gaines of spreading violence after her alleged attack by a male LGBT activist



Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines was reportedly assaulted by a man in a dress and mobbed by verbally abusive protesters after giving a speech on April 6 at San Francisco State University.
Rather than denounce the attacks and apparent extortion efforts by the mob of LGBT extremists, the university ultimately celebrated those responsible.
An SFSU student association has since gone one step further, accusing the esteemed, All-American athlete of spreading violence and hatred, calling for university administrators to "hold themselves accountable."

What's the background?

TheBlaze previously reported that Gaines discussed the invasion of female-only spaces by men at a Turning Point USA and Leadership Institute event last week. A man wearing a dress reportedly invaded the space and struck Gaines multiple times.
Prior to the attack, Gaines told SFSU students about her time competing in the women’s NCAA swimming championships against male athlete Lia Thomas, whom she claimed in a February interview had exposed his male genitalia in a women's locker room after a meet.

Footage taken by the student-run news outfit Golden Gate Xpress shows police escorting Gaines down a hallway and away from the hysterical mob, getting her to safety before additional attacks could be launched.

"Go the f*** home," "trans lives matter," "trans women are women," and "transphobic b****" were among the remarks those the university later characterized as "peaceful" screamed at the young female athlete.

Gaines was barricaded in the room for approximately three hours and was only able to leave campus after police threatened to arrest the remaining protesters.

Insult to injury

Following the incident, Jamillah Moore, vice president for student affairs and enrollment management at SFSU, issued a statement thanking students involved in the protest.

Moore first underscored in her statement that "the trans community is welcome and belongs at San Francisco State University."

Despite SFSU's alleged "diversity," Moore noted that "we may also find ourselves exposed to divergent views and even views we find personally abhorrent. These encounters have sometimes led to discord, anger, confrontation and fear. We must meet this moment and unite with a shared value of learning."

"Thank you to our students who participated peacefully in Thursday evening's event," added Moore.

Victim blaming

Karina Zamora, president of the Associated Students of SFSU, a nonprofit student organization at the university, issued a statement Monday, accusing Turning Point USA and Riley Gaines of spreading "hateful rhetoric" and promoting violence.
Zamora, who serves also as a pronoun-providing PAC co-chair with the San Francisco Young Democrats, claimed that the agitators in the hallways outside the event "followed the university's "Time, Place, and Manner (TPM) guidelines, but during the event, students protesting were coerced and given unwarranted warning cards threatening arrest if they violated the TPM policy."
"Though TPM was followed by protestors, I believe the 'enforcement' of TPM was weaponized to silence and threaten protesters and the presence of police was both excessive and uncalled for."
Police waited hours to intervene, during which time LGBT extremists and other protesters kept Gaines barricaded in a classroom.
According to Golden Gateway Express, the campus paper, officers waited until 11:36 p.m. to announce that those remaining in the building were unlawfully assembled and subject to possible arrest. It took eight officers creating a barrier and forging a pathway to the exit to get Gaines out safely.
No arrests were ultimately made, despite the earlier attack on Gaines.
Zamora denounced the "heavy police presence in response to peaceful protest, and the threat of arrest aimed towards students upholding the principles of 'social justice and positive change' by speaking out against discrimination and in support of trans people."
Noting that the "University administration has failed to uphold the principles our campus prides itself on," Zamora called on the university president, Lynn Mahoney, and her administration to "hold themselves accountable and host a community forum to hear how damaging these tactics have been to our student body."

No-nonsense All-American

Gaines responded on Twitter, writing, "All for sharing my lived experience of competing against a male and why its harmful to not have sex protected sports...At least we can agree that SFSU needs to hold themselves accountable."
\u201c"Presence of police was excessive and uncalled for"\n\n"Violence spread by Riley Gaines" \n\nAll for sharing my lived experience of competing against a male and why its harmful to not have sex protected sports...At least we can agree that SFSU needs to hold themselves accountable\u201d

The 23-year-old swim star previously stated, "The prisoners are running the asylum at SFSU...I was ambushed and physically hit twice by a man. This is proof that women need sex-protected spaces," adding that the vicious attack "only further assures me I'm doing something right. When they want you silent, speak louder."

SFSU praises LGBT extremists who mobbed and attacked Riley Gaines, intimates star athlete's views are 'abhorrent'



Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines was reportedly assaulted by a man in a dress and mobbed by verbally abusive protesters after giving a speech Thursday at San Francisco State University.

Rather than denounce the violence or castigate protesters for hounding the 23-year-old All-American swimmer into hiding for three hours, the university instead extolled those responsible.

Jamillah Moore, vice president for student affairs and enrollment management at SFSU, issued a statement thanking students involved in the protest, which at one stage devolved further into an extortionist effort.

What's the background?

TheBlaze previously reported that Gaines discussed the invasion of female-only spaces by men at a Turning Point USA and Leadership Institute event on April 6.

Gaines told SFSU students about her time competing in the women’s NCAA swimming championships against male athlete Lia Thomas, whom she claimed in a February interview had exposed his male genitalia in a women's locker room after a meet.

Footage taken by the student-run news outfit Golden Gate Xpress shows police escorting Gaines down a hallway and away from the angry mob. When the officers reach the end of one corridor, they appear to find the door to a safe room locked, at which point Gaines turns to calmly face the extremists, who hold signs that read, "Go the f*** home," "trans lives matter," and "trans women are women."

One LGBT activist can be heard screaming, "transphobic b****."

In addition to allegedly being struck multiple times by a man in a dress, Gaines was barricaded in a room for approximately three hours and was only able to leave campus after police threatened to arrest the remaining protesters.

SFSU celebrates the anti-feminist mob

Jamillah Moore first underscored in her statement that "the trans community is welcome and belongs at San Francisco State University."

Despite SFSU's alleged "diversity," Moore noted that "we may also find ourselves exposed to divergent views and even views we find personally abhorrent. These encounters have sometimes led to discord, anger, confrontation and fear. We must meet this moment and unite with a shared value of learning."

"Thank you to our students who participated peacefully in Thursday evening's event," wrote Moore.

Although there was only one 23-year-old speaker while there were scores of screaming protesters, Moore said, "It took tremendous bravery to stand in a challenging space."

At the end of the statement — which is entirely bereft of an apology or a recognition that Gaines was attacked on university property — Moore indicated that there are resources available to members of the mob, such as counseling and psychological services.

David Llamas, a TPUSA representative in the area, highlighted how SFSU "said NOTHING about the ASSAULT of @Riley_Gaines_! Instead saying students 'participated peacefully' and how the school is 'proud.'"

Sara Gonzales, the host of BlazeTV's "The News & Why It Matters," tweeted, "That was not a peaceful protest, that was an assault followed by kidnapping and holding Riley hostage. I hope she sues the shit out of you."

All-American blasts SFSU's un-American response

Gaines responded to Moore's statement, writing, "I'm sorry did this just say PEACEFUL.... I was assaulted. I was extorted and held for random [sic]. The protestors demanded I pay them if I wanted to make it home safely. I missed my flight home because I was barricaded in a classroom... We must have different definitions of peaceful."

\u201cI'm sorry did this just say PEACEFUL.... I was assaulted. I was extorted and held for random. The protestors demanded I pay them if I wanted to make it home safely. I missed my flight home because I was barricaded in a classroom...\n\nWe must have different definitions of peaceful.\u201d

The 23-year-old added that she supports and welcomes peaceful protest, but the "ambush" that followed her speech was "the opposite of peaceful" and antithetical to dialogue.

Gaines appeared on Fox News' "Tucker Carlson Tonight" on Friday, where she said, "I am worried about my safety. I have to be now, when we have people that are willing to do this."

According to Gaines, her attackers turned to physical and verbal violence because "they don't have reason. They don't have logic. They don't have science. They don't have common sense on their side."

Although safety is a concern, the star athlete stressed that she won't back down.

"This does not deter me. This assures me that I am doing the right thing. This will not silence me. When they want me to be silenced, it just means I need to speak louder."

Gaines vowed to take legal action, underscoring there will be "repercussions."

Gaines noted on Sunday that Moore had blocked her online, writing, "I guess it's easier for her to ignore me than to denounce violence against women. She won't be able to ignore my lawsuit."

A TPUSA spokesman told Fox News Digital that the mob was "organized by SFSU's Queer and Trans Resource Center."

Riley Gaines 'ambushed and physically hit' by male trans activist, swarmed by violent mob: 'The prisoners are running the asylum'



Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines has been subject to verbal and written abuse in recent weeks after she took a stand against the inclusion of men in women's sports. On Thursday night, however, her attackers turned to physical violence.

A man in a dress reportedly struck Gaines at least twice Thursday night after the 23-year-old swim star gave a speech about keeping women's spaces female-only. Her attacker was part of a hysterical mob of transsexual extremists and LGBT activists that descended on the Turning Point USA and Leadership Institute event at San Francisco State University.

Gaines posted a video to Twitter documenting some of the chaos that reached a fever pitch as audience members were being let out of the classroom, noting, "The prisoners are running the asylum at SFSU...I was ambushed and physically hit twice by a man. This is proof that women need sex-protected spaces."
The 12-time All-American swimmer underscored that the vicious attack "only further assures me I'm doing something right. When they want you silent, speak louder."
\u201cThe prisoners are running the asylum at SFSU...I was ambushed and physically hit twice by a man. This is proof that women need sex-protected spaces. \n\nStill only further assures me I'm doing something right. When they want you silent, speak louder. \ud83d\udde3\ufe0f\u201d

Kim Shasby Jones, co-founder of the Independent Council on Women's Sports, tweeted, "These people are UNHINGED and dangerous. It is 2023 and a young women is physically assaulted simply for speaking up for her rights!"

The Independent Women's Forum, for which Gaines is a spokeswoman, issued a statement strongly condemning the violence, adding, "Riley was violently accosted, ambushed, and physically assaulted during a speech on sex discrimination women face in their own single-sex sports category."

The IWF noted that "Riley is courageous in speaking up for truth, science and common sense. She has experienced firsthand the injustice female athletes face across America in their own sport."

"The effort to silence, threaten & harm women for standing up for #WomensRights is absolutely ludicrous. The Biden administration @POTUS & governing bodies of sport @ncaa @iocmedia pushing for biological males in women’s sport for the sake of inclusion are responsible for this," continued the statement.

Gaines had dared to tell her story to SFSU students about competing in the women’s NCAA swimming championships against male athlete Lia Thomas, whom she claimed in a February interview had exposed his male genitalia in a women's locker room after a meet.

Her agent, Eli Bremer, told Fox News Digital, "Her goal in speaking at universities has been to educate her peers about her experience and what the impact of the growing number of biological males in women’s sports will do to the integrity of Title IX. She has been questioned in civil and somewhat uncivil manners about her views many times, and she thoroughly encourages diverse viewpoints and debate on this issue."

Concerning Gaines' attack by a transsexual extremist, Bremer said, "This will not stop Riley from boldly educating people of the dangers of biological males in women’s sports. She will continue to speak the truth against the radical left that no longer understands the difference between men and women."

Footage taken by the student-run news outfit Golden Gate Xpress shows police escorting Gaines down a hallway and away from the angry mob. When the officers reach the end of one corridor, they appear to find the door to a safe room locked, at which point Gaines turns to calmly face the extremists, who held signs that read, "Go the f*** home," "trans lives matter," and "trans women are women."

One LGBT activist can be heard screaming, "transphobic b****."

Gaines was ultimately barricaded in a room with police protection for roughly three hours, during which time some transsexual activists attempted to extort her, saying they would disperse if paid off.

The All-American athlete did not leave campus until 11:38 p.m., 20 minutes after police announced that those who stuck around to protest would be arrested.

Upon learning that Gaines had been attacked, her husband, Louis Barker, said, "I was shaking. It made me that mad. It makes me sick to feel so helpless about it. ... She was under police protection and was still hit by a man wearing a dress."

A TPUSA spokesman told Fox News Digital that the mob had been "organized by SFSU's Queer and Trans Resource Center."

Transgender 'woman' wins women's pro golf tournament: 'It was so special'

Transgender 'woman' wins women's pro golf tournament: 'It was so special'



The Women's Professional Golf Association Tour Australasia crowned its latest tournament winner recently: 42-year-old Breanna Gill, who has been identified as a "Trans-identifying male golfer" by multiple women's advocacy outlets.

The Independent Council On Women's Sports and feminist publication Reduxx both report that Gill has been winning women's tournaments since 2018 and playing in women's tournaments since 2015.

The WPGA celebrated Gill's latest victory on the first weekend of April 2023, with a favorable review titled "Gill Basks in the Glory of Australian Women's Classic Win," with no mention of Gill's alleged transgender status.

“I always thought in my head if I ever got the opportunity to actually win a golf tournament and the girls happen to come running out on the green, I was going to stand there and take it. I wasn’t going to run away,” Gill told the outlet.

“If you get yourself in that position, you just take it. It was so special," the golfer added.

Additionally, the WPGA even published an article the same day about the "Cruel Beauty of Defeat" regarding the second- and third-place women in the tournament.

"The beauty of opportunity is that it means something different to each of those who seek to grasp it," the article reads, while profiling Gill further.

"42-year-old Breanna Gill works full-time and has let go of her dream of playing overseas," the WPGA explains, adding that "for Gill, her victory over Vasquez at the first playoff hole represented the realisation of a dream she thought would remain just that."

\u201c\ud83c\udfcc\ufe0fTrans-identifying male golfer, Breanna Gill just won the Australian Women's Classic.\n\nThis is one of several of Gill's professional wins in the women's category. The golfer has been playing in the ladies category since 2015...\u201d
— ICONS Women (@ICONS Women) 1680549047

Gill barely beat 224th-ranked Danni Vasquez, tying her on the final hole to force a playoff. Without Gill in the tournament, Vasquez, who has earned about $4,500 in all-time earnings, would have won the event. Gill, however, has earned $69,000 all-time, most of it recently, ranking fourth on the tour in the current standings with just under $35,000 before the recent victory.

Gill also beat out third-place finisher Stephanie Bunque and Momoka Kobori, the winner of the previous tournament. Both are also easily outranked by Gill in all-time earnings.

As previously mentioned, this is not Gill's first victory on the women's circuit. According to New Zealand Professional Women's Golf, Gill won the Qantas Golf Challenge and the New Caledonia Women’s Pro-Am in 2018.

The golfer also spoke in a Facebook video about winning the 2019 NZPWG Pro-Am.

“It feels good being the NZPWG Pro-Am champion .… I always thought I would get the job done here as the course really suits me visually off the tee," Gill said at the time.

\u201c\ud83c\udfcc\ufe0fGill has previously won women's tournaments like the New Zealand Pro Women's Golf @nzpwg Pro Am back in 2019... https://t.co/BFKFCnGl7n\u201d
— ICONS Women (@ICONS Women) 1680549047

The WPGA has turned its social media profiles to private since receiving backlash, including an image purportedly showing women showering Gill with champagne.

NCAA athlete and activist Riley Gaines remarked on the event, asking, "Who's surprised a male is being recognized as the 'winner' in the women's category?"

Commentator and host Megyn Kelly referred to Gill as a "biological man, a fact not even mentioned in much of the major press coverage celebrating 'her' win over the actual women in this tournament."

\u201cWho's surprised a male is being recognized as the "winner" in the women's category....you're right @WPGATour, real nerves of steel!\u201d

Gill's full celebration can be seen in the video below posted to the New South Wales, Australia, golf channel, for which comments have been turned off.

Far-left Dem mayor orders body of Confederate general dug up



The far-left mayor of Richmond, Virginia, the former capital city of the Confederacy, ordered that the body of a Confederate general be disinterred and reburied in an effort to be "more inclusive."

After years of legal wrangling, a Richmond Circuit Court judge finally authorized the removal of a Confederate monument erected to honor the memory of General Ambrose Powell "A.P." Hill Jr. The monument had been sitting at the intersection of Laburnum and Hermitage, a high-traffic thoroughfare in Richmond, since 1891.

Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney, a Democrat who has stood in solidarity with Black Lives Matter in the past, ordered all Confederate statues removed in 2020 amid public unrest and rioting in the wake of the death of George Floyd. At the time, Stoney blamed white supremacists as the "leading force" behind many of the riots.

Until recently, Hill's remained the last Confederate monument on public display in the city, but on December 12, it too was taken down. Removing the Hill monument was not as simple as removing other monuments, though, for one key reason: Hill's remains had been buried under the monument. In order to remove the monument entirely, Hill's body would have to be dug up and reburied elsewhere.

And that's exactly what Mayor Stoney ordered crews to do. Hill's indirect descendant, John Hill, objected vociferously to the removal of his ancestor's body, but his objections were ignored. John Hill was on hand on December 12 as morticians from Bennett Funeral Home assisted in the removal.

A moment of silence marked the occasion when Hill's remains were once again brought above ground. Hill was killed by a Union officer in Petersburg, Virginia, in 1865. The container for his remains had been covered in a simple quilt and Confederate flag, reports claim. He will be reburied about 80 miles north in Culpeper at a prearranged site, which the city of Richmond recently purchased for $1,000.

The moment of silence was eventually interrupted by a heckler, who taunted John Hill and threatened to "beat" him like his "daddy should've."

\u201cJohn Hill, descendant of AP Hill, is retrieving the remains. Now he is engaging with onlookers who have been arguing behind the caution tape. People on both sides of the controversy yelling at one another. @NBC12\u201d
— Riley Wyant (@Riley Wyant) 1670952279

For his part, Stoney celebrated Hill's removal, calling it a victory for inclusivity.

"Over two years ago, Richmond was home to more confederate statues than any city in the United States. Collectively, we have closed that chapter. We now continue the work of being a more inclusive and welcoming place where ALL belong," Stoney tweeted.

\u201cOver two years ago, Richmond was home to more confederate statues than any city in the United States. Collectively, we have closed that chapter. \n\nWe now continue the work of being a more inclusive and welcoming place where ALL belong.\u201d
— Mayor Levar M. Stoney (@Mayor Levar M. Stoney) 1670865356

There's no word on whether Stoney believes John Hill and members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, some of whom attended Hill's removal, belong in Richmond as well. Richmond officials claim that all the Confederate monuments that have been removed will be given to the Black History Museum & Cultural Center of Virginia.
