Before it goes down the memory hole, these are the comments to a 17 year old girl who was showering when a man walked in naked. She was understandably upset. Understandable to most of us. Here are some of the choice replies to her.
This seemed to be a common theme. Dozens of comments about her looks.
Former YMCA employee.
Weaponizing her tears is a common theme.
And for anyone who didn’t see the video in question:
Remember, this is a teenager. All those comments were said to a teenager.

THREAD. I think what’s shocking people right now is they had no idea folks could be so vicious. Some of us aren’t surprised by this. We have seen this behavior for years from them. Let me show you what has been said to people who simply say that men aren’t women. 1/

This is now normal on campuses. 2/
People ignored us bc it was a “fringe” issue and it doesn’t “affect” people and why do we care? Oh sure, you noticed the sports issue for a minute, but you didn’t see how normalized it was becoming for them to speak violently. To BE violent. 3/
The Screenshots THREAD
I spent a 1 1/2 days taking screenshots of calls for more people to be next after Charlie Kirk. I’ll leave them all here together.
Please share. Follow. But most of all, save this. This is the history of this day when the posts are removed.

A thread.
It should have said:
when Lia Thomas stood up on the starting blocks, everyone could see he wasn’t a woman. No one was fooled. The crowd was not happy. The most unfair race was about to start. 2/
Since that day Riley has shown incredible bravery. Imagine standing up to school officials that put a man into your changing room and into your sports. She has continued to stand up for women’s sports and young girls who have hopes and dreams. She is incredible. 3/
