A recent rally advocating for fairness in women's sports at the University of Washington, led by an ambassador for the Riley Gaines Center, encountered significant opposition from protesters. Olivia Krolczyk, the ambassador, visited the university to discuss the inclusion of transgender athletes in women's sports, a topic that sparked heated debate.

Upon arriving on campus, Krolczyk was immediately met with resistance, including signs and flyers urging her departure and promoting a protest against her presence. She described the atmosphere to OutKick's Charly Arnolt as overwhelming, with visible signs of opposition everywhere.

The protest, which began with approximately 100 participants line-dancing to country music, quickly escalated when more protesters, identified by Krolczyk as members of Antifa, arrived. The situation intensified, with the crowd growing to around 200 individuals. Krolczyk reported that the fire alarm was pulled, exits were blocked, and she and the attendees felt trapped inside the venue. With limited security personnel compared to the number of protesters, the situation became increasingly volatile.

Protesters reportedly resorted to breaking windows, throwing noisemakers into the building, and repeatedly pulling the fire alarm. Krolczyk, who joined the Riley Gaines Center after receiving a failing grade for using the term "biological woman," documented the events on TikTok. Her video garnered 6 million views before being removed for alleged community guideline violations, resulting in a permanent ban from the platform.
