Riley Gaines: ‘If It Makes Me Transphobic to Say That Men and Women Are Different ... That’s Insane’

GAINES: 'Truthfully, I I think these people resort to the anger both verbally and physically and violence because they know they don’t have reason on their side. They cannot debate me with logic or science or any kind of data that supports their argument, so they resort to personal attacks. They resort to calling me names like transphobe which truly has no meaning anymore. That word has been devalued. If it makes me transphobic to say that men and women are different when it comes to something that requires strength, that’s insane. And so they resort to locking me in a room and terrorizing me and my family and these officers for three hours.'
