Swimmer brings crusade against trans athletes in women’s sports to Nebraska
Omaha World Herald ^ | Aug. 27, 2023 | Martha Stoddard

Posted on 08/28/2023 7:20:33 AM PDT by Mean Daddy

A former All-American swimmer brought her crusade to keep transgender women out of women’s sports to Nebraska Sunday, speaking to more than 1,000 people at an event marked by Christian faith and patriotic fervor.

Riley Gaines, who swam for the University of Kentucky, tied the issue of transgender women in women's sports to an array of other issues in America. She also said transgender women try to join sororities and seek to be housed in women's prisons, with the goal of having access to women.

She decried "the changing of the language that we use, the silencing, the denying of objective truth, biblical truth. The breakdown of our faith, the breakdown of the nuclear family, the breakdown of our freedoms, such as freedom of speech and other freedoms, talking about the (COVID) vaccine. Notice how they want to take the guns.

"This is textbook Marxism," she said. "As a Christian, what I see this as is entirely spiritual warfare. This is moral versus evil."

Why don’t these ‘Wanna Be Women’ that want into women’s sports teams, form their own leagues? Because there’s only like three of them sucking up all the oxygen?

Go, Riley! :)

More truth in that one sentence than in all of CNN last week ...

“A former All-American swimmer brought her crusade to keep transgender women out of women’s sports to Nebraska Sunday, speaking to more than 1,000 people at an event marked by Christian faith and patriotic fervor.”

Oh the way they use the language!

How about, “A former All-American swimmer brought her efforts to protect female athletes from abusive and aggressive males who suffer from gender dysphoria, or who were otherwise incapable of successfully competing against other men to an event attended by parents and citizens concerned for the safety and well being of the girls on the team.”

Stop promoting the “trans” BS. That is all it is: BS. You don’t treat mental illness by pandering to it.

Once the Marxist Dems get control of banning firearms there will be no stopping them.

Wait a minute? She brought her “crusade” to town?

I thought the media doesn’t allow the use of the word “crusade” because we don’t want to offend Muslims? Is that rule of decorum out the window? What happened?

Yeah... “her crusade”... such loaded language... the aggressive, sword-wielding Christian, riding under the banner of the cross (etymological source for ‘crusade’) invading and pillaging the home territory of the Muslims.

Without getting into the misunderstood history of the actual Crusades, it’s absurd to suggest for the media to imply that Miss Gaines is the aggressor, invading and attacking under the banner of her faith. The real invaders and attackers are the trannies and their allies. They’re coming into women’s sports and turning them into a sick joke.

Going back to the real history of crusades ...

The perverts are engaged in jihad ... a war of aggression.

We really are engaged in crusade ... a fundamentally defensive war.

Thus illustrating in yet another way how leftists have perverted both language and history.

See how fake news skews things!

The only thing wrong with the crusades was, they stopped before they ran out of jihadis.

I am glad she is speaking up, but it will take a lot more voices from women athletes to overcome the media.

Indeed, but I don’t “blame” them ... the Crusaders ran up to the limits of medieval Europe’s ability to project power. They also had some problems with target identification ...

The media use anything to mischaracterize someone “they” don’t like. They want to offend Muslims, so that they to turn against Gaines.
She is a Christian, an outspoken women, and she is conducting a “crusade”. What else can they say to offend them?
We need to completely withdraw any support of the left wing media. The children running those once credible organizations are brainwashed automatons. Look at your local public school curriculum...those media children grew up in that brainwashing.

You are absolutely correct in the bias and slanted propaganda.
