Riley Gaines is a former NCAA female swimmer who has spoken out against the so-called right of males to compete as females. In response, she has been attacked, verbally and physically, by transgender activists and their supporters. Recently, after speaking at San Francisco State University, she was forced to barricade herself in a room while she was assaulted by a mob of transgender rights protesters. According to Gaines, police in San Francisco “failed miserably” to defend her and stated, according to Gaines, that “it was not ideal for them to be seen as anything other than an ally to this community.”
