8. You're talking about what everyone collectively can do, and I completely agree with that point as well!

Edit: It dawned on me that maybe I totally failed to express what I was meaning to say. The headline reads: " (Trump) demands Penn restore accolades to female swimmers after allowing trans swimmer to compete". What I'm saying is, it would be cool IMHO, if the cis-female swimmers who's 'accolades' would be 'restored' were to collectively and publicly say "No, we don't want our 'accolades restored', we don't want any trans athlete to be stripped of her placements/trophies/medals, we think she (or they) is/are female, and our competition with them was fair! What Trump is asking for, and his threats against the university, are bullshit, and we do not want any of this done in our name!!!".

And if there's a Riley Gaines in the bunch, then let her stand alone.

By this, I didn't mean that's ALL that should happen in the way of change! Sorry if I was lame in my expression of that idea previously, and if it's STILL offensive as an idea now that I've hopefully elucidated it better, then please help me understand because I must be missing something
