Quote:Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines delivered a fact check in real time to a Democrat witness during a Wednesday hearing.
Gaines, who also testified during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Protecting Pride: Defending the Civil Rights of LGBTQ+ Americans,” disputed the claim — made by Human Rights Campaign President Kelley Robinson — that biological males had no inherent advantage when it came to athletics.
WATCH:
Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) put the question to Robinson, who describes herself as the HRC’s first queer black president, asking her if she could provide an example proving that men did not have a biological advantage over women when it came to sports.
“You don’t believe that a biological male has a physical advantage in sports over a biological female?” Kennedy asked.
“Not as a definitive statement,” Robinson said, shaking her head.
“Give me an example … nah, well, I don’t think … how many female members of the NBA do you see?” Kennedy asked.
“I can say that there’s been this news article about men that think they can beat Serena Williams in tennis, right? That they think they could actually score a point on her,” Robinson replied. “And it’s just not the case. She is stronger than them.”
Kennedy turned the same question to Gaines, then, asking what her experience had been when women competed against biological males.
But instead of beginning with her own experience — competing at last year’s NCAA championships against trans-identifying male swimmer Lia Thomas — Gaines began with a quick fact check of Robinson’s claim.
“Both Serena and Venus lost to the 203rd ranked male tennis player, which — they’re phenoms for women,” she said, and then added her own personal experience as well. “My experience, my husband, he swam at the University of Kentucky as well. In terms of accolades, in terms of national ranking, I was a much better swimmer than him. He could kick my butt any day of the week — without trying.”
The game Gaines referenced took place in 1998, after Serena and Venus Williams boasted that no male player outside the top 200 in world rankings would be able to beat them. German player Karsten Braasch, ranked 203rd in the men’s circuit, took them on, beating Serena 6-1 and Venus 6-2.
“I didn’t know it would be that difficult. I played shots that would have been winners on the women’s circuit and he got to them very easily,” Serena observed when it was over.
Braasch’s assessment was a bit more brutal: “They wouldn’t have had a chance against anyone inside the top 500 because today I played like someone ranked 600th to keep it fun.”
Would rather not look for it. But, I remember a liberal challenging me on this very board about two weeks ago to come up with anyone saying that women are stronger than men. And here with have dem witnesses in the halls of our top institutions spouting this nonsense. Being supported by the democrat party.

It really is insanity, these people are just ignoring reality. The sun could be at high noon and they would argue that it is nighttime if their masters told them to.
If these people were logical, and actually attempting to assess the potential physical athletic differences between men and women they would compare like to like. How does a novice compare to a novice; how does an expert compare to an expert; etc. Just looking at bench press, men are nearly twice as strong without any training; which is representative of a strong biological difference.
Poor choice in using Venus and Serena as examples. Where yes they could beat men novices at Tennis neither would make the cut at a Grand Slam because they can’t take the pace nor the number of strokes (endurance) to win a point.
Ask them they’ll tell you. And Serena is most likely the best ever Women’s tennis player. But that doesn’t get you into the top 200 of Men’s Tennis.
Anyone who can’t recognize that biological men are stronger than biological women almost always has ignorant stamped on their forehead and should be made to pay more in taxes.
Let tonight's #1 male draft pick play in the WNBA. We'll see how quick Human Rights Campaign President Kelley Robinson changes her mind about males having no advantage over females in sports.

It wouldn't surprise me if this didn't happen in the next two years.
Unfortunately, the women in the WNBA would probably embrace it in the beginning, maybe not so much after trannyman started dunkin' on them.
Started to put Riley in my sig yesterday but I didn't get around to it.

Riley Gaines has a wonderful future ahead of her. Calling out the hypocrisy of competing against males and not backing down. I'd hire her in an instant.
