Riley Gaines has leveraged her fifth-place tie with a trans swimmer into a career of anti-trans activism, promoting harmful claims about the safety of cis women.
Despite placing fifth and behind four cisgender women, Gaines continues to focus on her competition with trans athlete Lia Thomas, showing an obsession with her perceived grievances.
Public reactions to Gaines's posts on social media reveal widespread frustration and ridicule, as many argue that her anti-trans narrative is based on a misunderstanding of broader issues.
Gaines's attempts to connect her grievances to women's rights are often met with derision, emphasizing a disconnect between her claims and the actual focus of pro-women advocates.
