How come it’s ok to question Riley Gains motives but not ok to question Lia Thomas’s motives, ever, about anything ?

[ussnccd]

The fact that Bri refuses to condemn the "protestors" who assaulted Riley is shameful.

[JVTEntertainment]

Briahna, listen to Riley's whole speech. Riley was also forced to change and shower with Lia Thomas, a biological male, and was called a bigot when pushed back. To insinuate the frustration is because she tied with Lia Thomas is ridiculous.

[underacheiver]

Robby basically stated Riley was held hostage, Brianna "I don't think you have to defend anything to take a position one way or the other on anything in that exchange to want there to be substantive support for the broader rights of trans people". She is not responding to anything Robbie just said, she is giving a talking point that she wants to get out. Note that anytime Robbie is speaking Brianna is looking down at her laptop not really listening just waiting for her chance to talk. I wonder how Brianna would feel if she were making an appearance and she was mobbed, jostled, struck and held captive for 3 hours ? I am done watching this nonsense.

Bri is insufferable sometimes. Thank you Robbie for pushing back and standing up for Women's Rights

[willjohnson-sasso]

Lastly, if a mob of Anti-Trans activists held a Trans-person in a room and asked for money to let them out… I feel Bri might have a different take…

[ronelfortune]

How awesome watching a man standing up for women's rights, while the woman defends the biological male swimmer

[Charlotte_Martel]

I was not "assigned female at birth" Brie. I am a woman because I have XX chromosomes and have given birth to 2 beautiful sons. It was not because a doctor flipped a freaking coin. Stop the insanity.

[willjohnson-sasso]

Bri’s selective outrage is truly baffling at times.

[drujackson]

the fact that we are even debating this is mind blowing 🤯

[Fem_TM]

Bri literally responded to Riley Gaines being held hostage with “but they aren’t letting drag queens read to kids”

[hkhodges]

Bri must have some trans folk in her social circle that she is afraidof offending. This is one topic where she can barely articulate her opinion. She keeps getting emotional whenever she realizes that what she is saying makes no sense.

[thesagetraveler]

Bri, it's not about whether Riley tied Thimas or not. Women are being physically hurt by this. Maybe talk to MMA fighter who had her jaw broken by Fallon Fox or the girls in Connecticut who lost out on track scholarships because they had to compete against trans runners. Open your eyes.

[Bagom]

Katie showed her true self. She took a huge L.

[weeg]

Gaines had the courage to say something when no one else was willing to do so.

[jhs-law]

Brianna's attacks on Riley Gaines are weak and low-rent. She is making a serious point, and instead of engaging the point, Brianna trivializes it.

[AldFinGrp]

I hate the "assigned at birth" term. As though it's just some kind of label handed out to babies.

[lavenderandsage]

It's amazing how those who claim to want human rights are against human rights for those who don't have the right identity. It's everywhere right now. I can't even listen to Bri talk about this anymore. As a former cult member myself, it's clear she's fully in the cult and will make excuses no matter what common sense or heart sense is offered. And she truly doesn't understand the consequences.

[xtremclimber]

Wait. So because a trans person doesn't ALWAYS win - means it's totally ok and fair.

Got it.

Lia Thomas swam for three college years as a man and then become a woman for their senior year. The overwhelming majority of people would say that it is not right for this person to compete in women’s sports.
