Thanks Mike for having the courage to call this nonsense out.

This is a tragedy... Thank you, Riley, for standing tall and strong...

[bgatlin]

Listen to her full interview several weeks back. It’s totally unbelievable how this has been implemented and how Riley has been treated. She’s a strong young woman who should never have been put in this position. The world has gone mad.

Thanks Riley for standing up against this BS!!

[scottvolage]

Call me what ya want. It is not right, and I will not tolerate it if I can. Thank you, Riley, for being a strong Woman. Something Mr. Thomas will never be.

What a bright, well-spoken brave woman!
Riley, thank you for standing up for women’s sports and women.
God bless you!
Mike, thank you for speaking with Riley. Please continue to use your platform to address all the craziness happening in our country. 🇺🇸

NCAA management personnel allowing this should all be fired.
First of all all the women should have gotten together and boycotted all events. Swimming, boxing, volleyball etc, etc.
The people that put you girls through this should all be fired.

[mateobravo]

Bless her for dealing with this nonsense and bless mike for bringing this to the forefront

[knackfulknitter]

Riley speaks so well…not a single derogatory/curse word.
I’m so sorry the competing women have to go through this. So sad…not right.

Mike Rowe: Making Common sense great again. 🇺🇲💪🏻

[derekmoore]

You are a brave, wise, and thoughtful young lady. You speak for the majority, many of whom are afraid to speak the facts/truth. Keep up the work!

[cathywanamaker]

Thank you Riley for standing up for women.

[DarRantz-knew]

Its time for people to quit being afraid

[ADR-jm]

I hope Riley and everyone who endured the embarrassment and suffering she did in the last two or three years because of this travesty remembers the names of everyone involved. I would also hope that they would be published. When we as a society come to our senses and realize how absolutely stupid this whole thought process is, it would be nice to see those who pushed it so hard be held to account. Good for you Riley for sticking to your guns. Thank you Mike for putting this on.

Truth be told, this insanity began around 2009 when body dysmorphia was removed as a mental problem from the DSM.

[dustinboyce]

Thank you Riley for making your voice heard, and thank you Mike for helping to make her voice heard

[drfranks]

Stay out of their washrooms. Stay out of their change rooms. Stay off their sports teams. Don't expect others to "pretend" you're something you are not. Simple rules for simple people.

[KellyBrielmaier]

I did NOT realize that he/she is INTACT?! And allowed in the women's locker Wow, NCAA should be ashamed of themselves. There should be a lawsuit coming soon I hope against the NCAA. Well done Riley and thank you Mike.
