Riley Gaines is a former competitive swimmer who became an anti-transgender activist after she was forced to compete against transgender swimmer Lia Thomas in college.
Known for campaigning against the participation of trans women in women’s sports, she has a knack for getting people emotional about her position.
The former NCAA swimmer hosted an event in San Francisco, and it led to a curious decision where someone was arrested this week after shouting obscenities at the conservative political activist.
Gaines returned to San Francisco State University two years after being attacked and held hostage at the school by radical gender-ideologist protestors.
Just like back in 2023, Riley Gaines found her visit to be quite controversial. One student launched a foul-mouthed tirade at Tuesday’s debate on transgender women.
Shocking footage from San Francisco State captured the man in question calling Gaines a ‘motherf—-er’ and a ‘loser bitc-h.’

‘Move me then, motherf—er, I’m not moving,’ he could be heard telling a school official.
“You’ve gotta carry me out of here.”
The young person was soon dragged out before getting pinned down on the ground and arrested.
Riley Gaines Was ‘Ambushed & Physically Hit’ By Trans Activists At San Francisco State University
Gaines has been one of the loudest detractors when it pertains to transgenders being involved in women’s sports.
She threatened to take “legal action” after saying she was assaulted by trans-rights protesters during a speech about protecting women’s sports at San Francisco State University back in 2023.
“I will be pursuing legal action. These people need to face repercussions.”
The former NCAA swimmer and 12-time All-American champ said a mob of demonstrators attacked her while she spoke about trans athletes in women’s sports.
Footage was even shown of Riley Gaines being ushered out of a classroom and into a hallway by security as protesters chased after her.
One of the activists gets in front of her and shouts, “Trans rights are human rights” and “Yeah, you f–king transphobic bitch — I f–king see you!”
