[July 11, 2023] For several years, I’ve had a series on courage (links here), and it is one of the more popular and garnering many comments across the political spectrum. I’m proud to write today about a young lady who truly embodies the spirit of courage, and she is Riley Gaines, an American former competitive swimmer who competed for the University of Kentucky. She is one of the female swimmers who competed against Lia Thomas, a large male swimmer who claims to be transgender to compete against women.
Since 2022, Riley Gaines has actively advocated against biological males competing in women’s sports. Many see her as a political activist, and her motivations are “transphobic.” I see her actions as just plain common sense. Forcing women to compete against biological males, who are naturally larger and more robust than females, makes no sense. And the majority of Americans think the same way.
In April of this year, she visited San Francisco State University for a Turning Point USA event and spoke about her campaign against transgender athletes in women’s sports. After the event, college protesters threatened violence against Ms. Gaines; she was escorted to a classroom where she was forced to stay for three hours. After the SFSU event, she rose to prominence as someone who stands against the unfair advantages of men competing in women’s sports.
In June, Ms. Gaines appeared as a witness at a U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee hearing focused on “civil rights for LGBTQ Americans,” in which she shared her experiences competing with trans swimmer Lia Thomas and having to share the same dressing room. You can see her testimony in this YouTube video (link here, 5:23 minutes).
I commend her for both her moral and physical courage. Thank you, Riley Gaines.

Please read my books:
I’m in strong support of Reilly stand. She is so right about biology men competition against women. Male do have a advantage because of the muscle. Why are so many transsexuals men try to prove. Could it be they weren’t that good as male in sport’s now they identified themselves as female give them a what they never were able to accomplish. Winning.
The Observer says she is a hero. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

— and Riley Gaines does not fear it.
“He Said He was with Fox Company” another example of a hero that Gen. Satterfield knew as a kid.

Cheers!
It is easy to love this website because Gen. Satterfield gives real life examples of moral courage. In this case, Riley Gaines has both moral and physical courage. She is an example of a true American Hero …. just like Gen. Satterfield.
You bet, joe and that is why I read his blog everyday, at least every day that I can get to wifi. Let’s all give thanks to Gen. Satterfield and the fact that he highlights and encourages COURAGE by giving credit where it is due. If you love the idea of courage and want to be part of those who support those who are courageous, then read this blog. And, it is a way to send a message to the tyrant suckups like joe bitme that they are headed to the trashbin of hisotry.
wow, nailed it
Good one, Greek Senator. Those here in this forum support free speech and will take on all those who oppose it.
Peigin and Jerome, you both got that right. Support freedom in ALL ASPECTS, esp free speech because that is what all other freedoms are based. And support western religions because they are also based on Free Speech. God Bless, Gen. Satterfield. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Another excellent article demonstrating courage.
I hope Riley Gaines reads this blog after today. We think …. no! we know she is a hero to freedom-loving peoples all across the world.
FREEDOM
FREEDOM
FREEDOM
… this is not what pres. Joe Biden or his ilk want. Just go and read Daily Favorites today on the injunction against specifically named US Government senior leaders in the Biden White House. Read them all. You will find that this is a real fight for freedom and one of the most important cases in American history. Thanks Ursala and I too hope that Riley Gaines reads it too and is encouraged by those real people she can know support her.
Max, thank you for pointing out my “daily favorites.” I purposefully posted these two legal documents so good people could see for themselves the war on freedom and who is on what side.
Gen. Satterfield, you have once again given us something to think about. I knew about this case and did some more reading after seeing your article. This is what fighting for freedom against the anti-free speech tyrant wannabes in college is like. Sometimes it is uncomfortable and dangerous. You go girl, Riley Haines.
Riley Gaines, real American Hero and American Girl.
American Girl, you nailed it. We all love ❤❤❤❤ Riley Gaines. Thank you, Gen. Satterfield for highlighting her heroism today.
Yeah, and happily a free country thanks to those like her. Please also read Gen. Satterfield’s book “55 Rules for a Good Life” to better understand freedom.
Thank you, Riley Gaines!!!!!
