Y'all saw this, right?
College swimmer Riley Gaines, a vocal national voice for protecting women's sports and spaces from male athletes who live as women, was "ambushed and physically hit" by a crowd of trans activists who attacked and screamed at her, forcing police to barricade her in a room for three hours for her own safety.
Yes, good ol' San Francisco State!
How progressive, this men assaulting women!
Let's check in on the school's response to this assault, shall we?
First, SFSU Vice President for Student Affairs Jamillah Moore sent out a memo thanking activists for "peacefully" taking part in the anti-Gaines protest … and even called them "brave."
Then, the president of the SFSU student government said that Gaines was at fault for her assault and the screaming protesters due to her "hateful rhetoric." Indeed, Karina Zamora also pinned blame on the campus police for their "confrontational behavior."
It's like The Babylon Bee, but in real life:
So these people at San Francisco State are quite literally a joke.
And the biggest joke of them all might be the athletic director, who doesn't seem to understand what we're all arguing about in the first place.
Now, the SFSU athletic director has joined the fray saying she doesn't understand what Gaines' problem is in the first place — that it's a "common mistake to believe people might have a competitive advantage due to their physical abilities."
Stephanie Shrieve-Hawkins (pictured), who according to her faculty page has "over 20 years of experience in collegiate athletics," said that "some athletes can see competition as an enhancer of negative thoughts against trans people, making some forget about other issues like inclusivity," Golden Gate Xpress reports.
"You wouldn't see this with dancers or any other thing that's physical," she said. "It's just with this athletics [perspective], we live in this society that's so competitive."
Shrieve-Hawkins added "You'll notice that especially transgender male to female is the one that people are focusing most on because it's a gender bias in a way as well. So what does that say about women, that women aren't strong?"
Great material right there from the AD!
It almost seems like she's being serious.
Honestly though, what an absolute joke these people are.
Like, how can someone in their right mind actually believe that men don't hold a physical advantage over women?
There's gotta be some extremely intense mental gymnastics going on there.
But I guess what did we expect from one of the most liberal colleges on the planet?
