Stand with Riley Gaines!

The room at the San Francisco State University where Riley Gaines, former NCAA swimmer,12-time All-American champ and outspoken critic of transgender athletes, had been invited to speak was stormed! Droves of trans-rights protesters pushed back in response to her speech and proceeded to verbally and physically attack Riley.

We are currently trying to pass legislation (SB 15/HB 23) to protect women from being forced to compete against men in college sports. SB 15 has passed to the Texas Senate but not the Texas House.

While at this event in California, and once the lights had been turned off, she was subsequently punched multiple times, and shoved into a classroom where she was barricaded for hours!

"This will not silence me when they want me to be silenced,
it just means I need to speak louder." ~ Riley Gaines

Jonathan Saenz interviews Special Guest "Detransitioner" Chloe Cole on the Radio Report

Chloe, who went through a medical transition treatment at 12 years of age that she ended at age 16, talks about why transitioning should never be an option for children "under any circumstance".

“I learned that I am not alone in this, that I was being lied to, that I was lied to by my doctors and the trans community...Not only was I living through a lie, I was also putting myself under these treatments that were destroying my body and taking away parts of myself...it’s abusive to do this to children."
Chloe Cole
