They can jump higher. We can talk about that all day long. But to your point, more importantly is what it says in the Bible. It goes back to the first book. He created them male. and female intentionally and uniquely in his perfect image. And to deny that or to attempt to alter that is to do is to deny God. It's as simple as that.

And I, the other side, I don't even think they have a problem admitting that anymore. They understand and they're totally okay with, with the thought of themselves being their own God, which I think is, is the scary part. And definitely like you're, you're referring to, it's the root of the problem.

Oh, gosh. We could spend the rest of our allotted time talking about this. I will say it's remarkable the shift that we have seen, again, when you compare now to three years ago. And that's across every realm of society, right? Even on... you know, watching the football field, you've got people like Nick Bosa out there doing the little Trump dance. That couldn't have happened three years ago.

He was fined over $11,000 for wearing a MAGA hat. They told him, they asked him, you know, do you regret this? He said, no, I would do it again. The next day he gets out there and does that little dance. And while that dance might seem silly, it might seem like it's, you know, just a silly little movement celebration. No, that dance represents a whole lot. It represents free speech.

It represents how cancel culture is losing its grip. It represents patriotism that I believe people have been desperate for. But to answer your question, all that to attest to the shift that we have seen, and certainly since November 5th, and even more so since January 20th, I compare that to three years ago. Let me just tell you actually what my university did to me. Take you back to 2021, 2022.

I will never forget when we learned of who Will Thomas was, when we learned he was going to be competing in the pool with us, when we learned he was going to be sharing a locker room with us. My whole team opposed this, right? My team of 40 girls, none of us thought this was fair or safe or righteous or moral or just by any means. But our university, they sat us down in a room.

We had to do restorative justice circles. We had to go to verbatim these educational meetings where we weren't allowed to leave until verbatim they felt like we had been properly reeducated. We were told, you're going to lose all of your friends if you speak out about this. You know, lifelong friends, friends you've had for forever, they're not going to want to talk to you anymore.

They said, Riley, you know, your plan is dental school after college? Well, you'll never get in. No dental school will ever even look at your application if you speak up about this because they're going to see that you're a transphobe. And if you want a job after college, forget it. It's standard practice for an employer to look up their candidates for their job and they will never hire you.

You know, Riley, you signed that scholarship and you did it willingly. And when you did, you gave away your rights to speak in your own personal capacity. Remember who you represent, whose name is across your chest and across your cap because it's not yours. It's ours. And understand, we have already taken your stance for you. I will never forget when they sat us down as a team.

They brought in an outside professional. Whatever that means. I don't know what qualifications you need for this job. But she sat us down and she said, what it sounds like you're advocating for is segregation. And do you remember how America treated African Americans? Is that the side of history you want to be on? You know who else advocated for segregation? The KKK.

That is who you are linking yourself to if you oppose undressing next to a man. They told us point blank outright that we would be equivalent to murderers because we would have blood on our hands and they would follow it with, and you don't want that. You don't want to be a murderer, do you? No, so I suggest you be kind and I suggest you be inclusive. And believe it or not, that is effective.
