We are created equal, of course, again, in his image, but we are not the same. So I believe as women. We need to do everything that we can do. Have the conversations. Insert yourselves in places where normally you wouldn't. And I think this is important because women typically were more empathetic and apologetic and emotionally driven. And these are wonderful things.
These are what makes women wonderful mothers and sisters and wives and friends. They're great things, but they are being used against us to our detriment. That's why we are seeing this war on women. That's why they changed mother in the state statute, of course, in a 1,000-page budget bill, very sneakily. And they didn't change father.

That's because they know as women we are going to roll over and let them do this. Men would not. Men would not. Could you imagine a man? Let's use some other phrases. They've called women in medical peer-reviewed journals egg producers. Could you imagine if you went up to a man and called him a sperm producer? He wouldn't take that. He would laugh in your face and say, what did you just call me?

But we as women, we sit back and we allow it. We need to start pushing back. I believe that is what feminism, femininity at least, is. And Turning Point's done a good job of saying rejecting feminism but embracing femininity. And I really like that mantra and that motto.

It is so true. My dad, he, I come from a family of athletes. So my dad, he is an SEC Hall of Famer. He played football. He actually played with the Eagles. So we are super excited they accepted President Trump's, or at least he extended the invitation to the Eagles to the White House today. So my dad is a very big man, very strong man, at least he used to be. Now he's kind of just fat. But when...

When I called my dad, I'll never forget this, at that national championships at Georgia Tech, we knew this man would be in the pool with us, competing with us. We found that out maybe a few weeks before. But we did not know he was going to be in the locker room with us until we were forcibly exposed and exploited and simultaneously exposed to this male.

And I remember leaving that locker room immediately and, of course, calling my dad. And I said, Dad, he's in our locker room. And my dad said, Riley, you're going to come. Of course, they don't let parents or spectators from the stands, you know, come down onto the pool deck. It's reserved for only the athletes and coaches and officials. He said, Riley, I have a plan.

There's a side door over here. I'm going to say I'm your university's bus driver. Let me down there now and I'll handle this myself.

No, I will agree with the sentiment that I see videos all the time. on social platforms of these opportunists. I mean, I think that's the best word. These narcissistic parents who, I mean, I don't even, I can't even put myself in their shoes. Of course, I don't have children yet, but I have parents. I can't even put myself in these people's shoes who are

selling out their children, but worse than that, I mean, they're irreversibly harming their children to their own benefit. And that's, again, that's what we've seen across the board with the transgender movement. The medicalization side of things, the chemical and surgical castration of children for profit, right? That's what it all boils down to.

If they weren't making money on this, they wouldn't do this. Could you imagine walking into a doctor's office and saying, don't really feel like having a right arm today. Could you cut it off? Your doctor, physician, surgeon would look at you like you're literally insane. But because they can attach a price tag to it, and we saw this. We saw it in my backyard. I live in Nashville, Tennessee.
