The College Fix reports:

Harvard activists protest Riley Gaines appearance by throwing a ‘Big Trans Party’Swimmer Riley Gaines, who’s been speaking out against the participation of biological men in women’s sports, made an appearance at Harvard University on Thursday.But progressive activists, including members of TransHarvard, the Queer Students Association, and Harvard Law’s Women’s Law Association, threw a “Big Trans Party” — which included posters and speeches — to protest Gaines’ talk, The Crimson reports.According to the report, in her talk Gaines “repeatedly misgendered transgender athletes,” including University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas against whom Gaines competed in the NCAA swimming championships.“Men are men, women are women,” Gaines said. “There are only two sexes. You can’t change your sex and each sex is deserving of equal opportunities.”Gaines said that being called “transphobic” has “literally no meaning” to her — she considers it a “term of endearment.”“I think if we’re labeling pro-woman as anti-trans, wouldn’t that inherently mean pro-trans is anti-woman?” Gaines asked. “I’m most certainly pro-woman and I’m not advocating for the exclusion of trans athletes.You just compete where it is fair and where it’s safe.”Chastity Bowick of the Transgender Emergency Fund of Massachusetts told Big Trans Party protesters to “continue letting your voices be heard [and] your faces be seen.”“[T]hat is the only way that we’re going to create concrete change for our trans youth,” Bowick said.
