Exclusive: My Interview with Riley Gaines

Instead, Gaines has been thrust into the national spotlight for having the courage to say that young women should not have to compete against men in sports or change in front of men in locker rooms. That is exactly what happened when the NCAA forced her to compete against transgender athlete Lia Thomas in a championship event. Just last week at a speaking engagement, Gaines was assaulted on stage and held hostage by trans radicalists at a university in San Francisco. If not for a police officer nearby, her situation could have been much worse. Take a moment and listen.
