Bri, I'm not a cis woman, just "woman".

[juststuff]

I'm not "cis". I'm not a "sub-category" of women. I AM a woman.

[markab]

Briana, this was the last time I watched Rising. I am with Riley Gaines 100+ % . I am a woman, i refuse to be called cis woman. Enough of these sick absurdities.

[beanstalker]

I'm a man. And I'm telling you having a man in a women's locker room is absolutely a safety issue

[heathergoesrogue]

I can’t wrap my head around Bri’s logic on the transgender issues. It’s completely insane. Because you don’t agree with someone, they are a bigot? Ridiculous. If I had a man in a changing room with me, it is BEYOND just being uncomfortable. Insane.

[sherwinm]

If Bri really thinks gender is not an issue when someone change in the locker or bathroom, I like to see her goes to the men's locker room and change. She is insane.

[BinkyStalls]

It’s like arguing with a baby. The stupidity is so frustrating. I backup Riley 100%

[Bluegrl]

10:23 it ABSOLUTELY IS about SAFETY!! Riley isn’t just talking about locker rooms during college competitions. She’s talking about safety inside women’s locker rooms In ALL locations. Like a 5 am workout where you enter the locker room ALONE and a male walks into that women’s locker room. So. It’s about safety… and she’s right… and most women would agree with her safety concerns. Trust me on this

[tubingforever]

Truly embarrassing by Bri. Pretty difficult to keep respect for her.

[RagnarTheRed-xs]

Newsflash, Serena Willaims said herself in an interview that she would lose against a male tennis player because they have a physical advantage over her. Look it up.

[adriantunmore]

Riley Gaines, 99% of adults on this planet know that a male pretending to be a woman in order to beat real women at any sport, is, simply, a bully.
99% or more are totally on your side.
My best wishes to you.

[ttttggggg]

Bri's brain is cracking on this. She can't argue the issue at hand, so she cherry picks Riley's response to what is feminism.

[UnPocoLoco]

It’s really scary for Bri to just say it’s bigoted to not be able to/want to undress in front of a person with the opposite genitalia in a private locker room. That’s not right, Bri, and you know that. Just because we consider ourselves “progressive” doesn’t mean you force biological women to feel uncomfortable for your convenience. Feminism never changed, misogyny did and snuck its way into it.

[anaberthacampagarcia]

I'm not cis. I AM a woman, and I refuse to make of myself a sub category of women just to acomodate men pretending to be a woman... no way

[apieceofdirt]

This black lady needs a serious reality check. Men in women’s locker rooms aren’t a safety issue? People have gone insane

[richardgarner]

The irony of Bri literally demonstrating the definition of Bad Faith because she's so reluctant to possibly "help the other side" on this issue that she'll abandon the undeniable obviousness of this issue. SUPER DISAPPOINTING when she does this

[joeyd]

XX chromosomes = female.
XY chromosomes = male
Add this genetic test to the required physicals for sports in all high schools and colleges. It's inexpensive and VERY accurate.

[williaminabinett]

Straw-man Bri. This back and forth is exactly the problem in this country. Robby trying so hard to not offend Bri, who retorts with nonsense.

[zelda]

Cis is a slur. We're women period.

[morganghetti]

How do you know it's not a safety issue for her? I don't believe Bri would feel safe and a 6ftb4 man came into a locker room while she was nude and started undressing in front of her.
