Can we stop pretending Democrats support women, please? They don't, and they haven't for a long time. All they care about is whether or not women can abort or — in the case of Lindsay Clancy, strangle — their children. That's the only "right" Democrats think women have.
According to them, we don't even have the right to refuse the COVID vaccine, or to have privacy in our locker rooms, rape shelters, and prisons. So in a sense, Peggy Flanagan is right: her daughter does have fewer rights than previous generations. Just not the things Flanagan thinks are "rights."
It's always refreshing when these leftist let the mask slip, as YouTuber and self-proclaimed "democracy lover" Keith Edwards did here. Leftist men have this weird obsession with the fact that Riley Gaines finished fifth in a competition where William ("Lia") Thomas was competing, as if that undermines or negates the work Gaines has done to help protect women and girls from guys like Keith and "Lia."
Woman who made coming in 5th place her whole personality: https://t.co/AeNOu9rZUO

Funny, the only people I ever hear mentioning 5th place are leftists who think this is a "gotcha" or an insult. Newsflash: it's not. What it is, however, is very revealing: they hate you, women. If you don't toe their line and obey them, they will do whatever it takes to humiliate, insult, and destroy you personally and professionally.
A f***ing man cheated in her sport and you're attacking her? What is wrong with you?

To Edwards, Gaines is the enemy. She dared to speak against his preferred political cause, so she must be destroyed.

Also, to finish fifth isn't a fail. Gaines went up against 5,800 female D1 collegiate swimmers. Thomas ranked 554th in the 200-yard freestyle, 65th in the 500-yard freestyle, and 32nd in the 1,650-yard freestyle. for the 2018-2019 season, when he competed against his fellow men.
Did you ever make the NCAA finals in anything? There’s a young woman out there who should have but didn’t because this creepy guy cheated and took her place. Riley would still be complaining, ans rightly so, even if she had finished 4th.

Where Gaines finished is irrelevant and immaterial. William Thomas — a man — should never have been there. Yet leftists have never told Thomas to train harder so he could place better against men. Instead, they let Thomas (a fully-intact male, by the way) get naked in the women's locker room and swim against women, shattering records, stealing medals, and cheating.
Yay, patriarchy!
Behold, a man who's position relies entirely on insulting women, avoiding the subject, spreading lies, and making threats because there isn't a single legitimate point to be made in defense of pretending men are women. https://t.co/5an0JgIq8E

We've seen this time and again: trans activists and "trans-identifying" men routinely target and harass women, using threats of violence and verbal abuse to try to get us to comply with their sick worldview.
All democrats had to do was know what a woman is. Apparently that was too complicated. https://t.co/aM5YmR1rFU

The thing is, they do. They can trot out their faux concern over "women's rights" when an election is right around the corner. But when they don't need our votes, we are relegated once again to being "egg producers," "inseminated individuals," or "birthing persons." They welcome the Muslim migrants who will subjugate us and embrace the mentally ill men who cosplay in women face while punishing us if we speak out against one or both.
Even Keith admitted Gaines is a woman in his post, so he could attack her for being what he considers a "failure." But Gaines' legacy will not be that 5th place finish. It will be about finding a bigger purpose: protecting the future of women's and girls' sports, ending the trans agenda, and — if we're lucky — making misogynistic men like Keith cry in the process.
