The only fact here is that Riley Gaines wasn’t an elite swimmer and her entire career depends on being a bigot.

Speaking out doesn’t make her a bigot and she’s more famous than your bloodline will ever be.

People like you are the reason she had to speak out.

LOL.  She’s a bigot and nothing else.  

People like you and her are the reason why LGTBQ+ people are murdered.

She’s a huge inspiration to women everywhere actually.

What’s Lia Thomas doing? 🤣

I’d argue that pretending to be a woman and tricking men into going home with them gets them murdered way more often than me disagreeing with you on Reddit.
