Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines—who said she was physically attacked at San Francisco State University (SFSU) on Thursday night after giving a speech on the issue of “Saving Women’s Sports”—rejected the SFSU’s statement that suggested transgender activists had protested “peacefully” at the event.
“I had to reread that to make sure that they actually used the word peaceful. I was held hostage for three hours. I missed my flight home because it was not safe to leave,” Gaines told The Epoch Times in a text message, which referenced protests that occurred after her speech at SFSU on the issue of biological males competing in women’s sports.
