Riley Gaines has turned a 5th place finish into a national conservative platform against transgender rights.

    She tied with a trans swimmer for 5th place. During the ceremony, they didn’t have two 5th places trophies so they had one hold 5th and one hold 6th. She held the 6th and threw a fit about it.

    Cardio sports such as swimming and running are actually more difficult for transgender women Strength based sports tend to be easier for them.

    I really encourage people to watch the Last Week Tonight segment on trans sports. It’s really good and it specifically calls out this exact incident.

      Why are they getting a trophy for 5th and 6th? Is that normal for swimming.

        I mean getting 5th place in the division 1 NCAA national championship is actually very impressive. People acting like she was a bad athlete because she got 5th place is crazy.

        I think it was an NCAA Championship event, but I don’t know much about swimming competitions.
