Yesterday was a good rainy day in SC .So I tuned into competing hearings in the House and Senate. The Senate Judiciary Committee is chaired by Senator D*ckhead Durbin of Illinois . His hearing was ' "Protecting Pride: Defending the Civil Rights of LGBTQ+ Americans" . He was hammering Repubs for their "hateful rhetoric" about the rights of transformers .
Former female swimming champ Riley Gaines spoke about what it was like to being forced to compete against male transformer swimmer Lia Thomas.
"Sen. Durbin ... you had mentioned this 'rhetoric.' #news - YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksGcssSaZRA)
"Sen. Durbin ... you had mentioned this 'rhetoric.' You had mentioned 'what message does it send to trans individuals?' My combat to that is: what message does this send to women, to young girls ... their rights to privacy and safety thrown out of the window?"
She also spoke of an incident in San Fran when she was attacked by an angry woke mob; virtually held hostage and denied her free speech .
"I was invited to speak on my experience of my senior year in competing against a male. Nothing opinionated about what I shared. It was sheerly the exact lived experience of what me, my teammates and my fellow competitors dealt with.
"I spoke. After my speech, there were, of course, a lot of protesters in the room. I'm totally fine with people protesting. It's their right to protest, but what I'm not fine with is when it does turn violent in the way that it did."
Protesters rushed into the room, turned off the lights, rushed to the podium and assaulted her before holding her hostage.
"The law enforcement I was met with in San Francisco, in my opinion, failed miserably in effectively doing their job," she said.
"They mentioned that it was not ideal for them to be seen as anything other than an ally to this community and that was made very obvious in the treatment and effectiveness of removing me from that situation,"
It appears that it is those who object to transformers competing in women's sports who are subject to "hateful" rhetoric and much worse.
Here is her opening statement .
