The\u2062 professor, Katja Thieme, who is a\u2062 faculty member \u200cat the\u200b University \u2064of British Columbia, locked \u2064down \u200cher X account (previously known as Twitter) following the incident.<\/p>\n<p>The\u2062 controversy began when former\u200b NCAA swimmer Riley \u200cGaines, known for her advocacy for women&#8217;s \u200csports and opposition to the transgender agenda, \u200dresponded to Thieme&#8217;s tweet. Gaines\u2064 was among many\u2064 who criticized the professor for her statement.<\/p>\n<p>In a now-private tweet, Thieme responded\u200d to a video of Gaines advocating for spaces for women by suggesting that parents \u2064should expose their children to the genitals of adults in \u2064a casual and normalized way. She \u2064also referred to \u200bGaines as &#8220;whiny&#8221; and\u2062 a &#8220;transphobe,&#8221; dismissing the concerns of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/highlights-from-the-house-hearing-on-transgenderism\/\" title=\"Key Points from House Hearing on Transgenderism\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/5-times-transgender-athletes-dominated-womens-sports\/\" title=\"5 Times Transgender Athletes Dominated Women\u2019s Sports\">female athletes<\/a> uncomfortable<\/a> with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nolte-straight-people-excluded-from-west-hollywood-guaranteed-income-program\/\" title=\"Nolte: Straight People Excluded from West Hollywood Guaranteed Income Program\">sharing locker rooms<\/a> with males.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/college-professor-to-riley-gaines-normalize-exposing-kids-to-adult-genitalia-to-prepare-them-for-trans-athletes\/\" title=\"College Professor to Riley Gaines: Encourage Familiarity with Adult Genitalia to Prepare Children for Trans Athletes\">tweet drew significant attention<\/a> and prompted Thieme to switch her account to private. People expressed \u2064their outrage, with one person\u200d even suggesting that Thieme&#8217;s\u200d statement amounted \u200cto grooming.\u2064 Gaines herself came\u200b across\u200c the\u2064 reporting on Twitter and responded by stating\u200d that Thieme\u200b belongs in prison.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">If you\u2019re not inclined to click on the \u200barticle, my tweet is in response to this\u200b tweet from\u200b Theime:<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Let.
