Former college athlete Riley Gaines speaks out against assault and SFSU's response.

Swimmer and advocate for restrictions governing competition with transgender athletes, Riley Gaines, condemned San Francisco State University (SFSU) for thanking students who participated "peacefully" in a protest during which she was reportedly assaulted and trapped in a room for hours. SFSU's statement failed to directly address the violent altercation between protesters and Gaines, leading her to be barricaded in a campus room for her personal safety. Gaines had been invited to speak at an event exploring women's athletics and the inequalities that female competitors could face against transgender opponents. Despite the well-documented violence during the recent clash, university police confirmed on Friday that no arrests had been made.
