Conservative actress Gina Carano spoke out to defend collegiate swim champion Riley Gaines who was recently attacked by a left-wing mob at San Francisco State University. The swimmer was forced to barricade herself in her room to protect herself from the violent crowd.
Gaines was at the University to attend a Turning Point USA event and give a speech. However, she spent the night barricaded from the violent radical mob in a safe room. Gaines tweeted, “The prisoners are running the asylum at SFSU…I was ambushed and physically hit twice by a man. This is proof that women need sex-protected spaces. Still only further assures me I’m doing something right. When they want you silent, speak louder.”

Gaines had to be escorted from the event by police officers and was even assaulted. Gaines said, “I’m OK currently, but an hour and a half later, I’m still barricaded in a room with ambushers on the outside yelling and threatening violence. As police escorted me out of the event space to my current location, I was hit, physically, twice by what I presume was a male individual. This only assures me I’m doing the right thing.”
Carano wrote in a lengthy social media post slamming the woke mob and their behavior toward Gaines. In response to the violence, she said, “This is so disgustingly abusive and harmful and it is encouraging acts of violence against women. “These protestors cannot debate this with logic or words so they resort to bullying and violence. Cowards.”
This is horrifying.
It is NOT transphobic to say that biological men should not be competing against biological women in sports. Many trans people understand and agree with this.

Carano defended the message Gaines is trying to spread, “This is horrifying. It is NOT transphobic to say that biological men should not be competing against biological women in sports. Many trans people understand and agree with this.” She continued, “Ask yourself why the majority is trans women moving over into women’s sports and why we don’t see many trans men successfully transferring and competing against men, why doesn’t this go both ways, why are only women’s sports negatively effected? Mental health, a way of life, living a dream are all directly related to women competing in sports, and so much more. The knowledge that comes with training, the excitement of getting a college scholarship to go play for a team or go to the Olympics and compete on a fair stage, the ability to make money and support themselves, sponsorships, entire futures are built on women competing in sports.”
The actress concluded her tweet, “How many more assaults need to happen? How many careers stumped and cheated? It’s going to get worse if more people don’t speak out. Young women and girls need YOU to say ENOUGH, they need your protection as a logical people to say this isn’t the way to invoke positive change. This is not transphobia it simply means we are not there and might never be so find another way to be inclusive and loving towards trans people without it directly harming women. I hope you are ok @Riley_Gaines_ you are not alone.”
