Former collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines said she was hit by an activist and forced to barricade in a room to escape an enraged pro-transgender mob after a speech advocating for single-sex women’s sports at San Francisco State University.

“I was ambushed and physically hit twice by a man,” said Ms. Gaines in a statement posted Friday by the Independent Women’s Forum. “This is proof that women need sex-protected spaces. Still only further assures me I’m doing something right. When they want you silent, speak louder.”

Louis Barker, husband of the former University of Kentucky swimmer, said she told him that she was struck by a man wearing a dress even as she was being protected by campus police at the Thursday appearance.

“She told me she was hit multiple times by a guy in a dress,” Mr. Barker told Fox News Digital. “I was shaking. It made me that mad. It makes me sick to feel so helpless about it. She was under police protection and was still hit by a man wearing a dress.”

He said he spoke to her while she remained barricaded in the room for about three hours after the speech.

Going viral Friday was a video showing a mob of screaming protesters following Ms. Gaines as officers hustled her down a corridor and into a room.

Now while this was funny for all the wrong reasons, I do want to point out that Riley should not have been subject to that abuse and if someone had gotten hurt, it would have been they end "those" people. Lets discuss.
