A viral photo of a man identifying as a woman nursing a baby prompted swimmer-turned-activist Riley Gaines to declare that such behavior was “normalizing pedophilia.”
The photo was posted by Mika Minio-Paluello, a former adviser to Great Britain’s Labour Party, who said he “only breastfed my child for a few weeks” before stopping due to cancer treatments. Gaines, a former All-American at University of Kentucky who has become outspoken about radical gender theory and protecting women and girls in sports, called it “sick.”
“For the longest time I refrained from posting on TikTok,” Gaines wrote. “But after what I saw today on Twitter, I will be blasting my opinions and my views on all of my social media platforms because this is sick and I think a true testament of where, as Americans, we are today.”
Gaines posted other photos of Minio-Paluello that show him using nipple clamps to satisfy a twisted sexual fetish.
“In the following photos you will see the same man who was breastfeeding the child actively using nipple clamps to fulfill his sexual fetish,” wrote Gaines, citing an Instagram caption in which he wondered how hard the viewer could tug on the clamps.
“So I guess what I’m wondering is, how can any sane human being see this man posing with this child, obviously sucking on his nipple, now seeing what he engages in privately, and not see this baby as an erotic prop for this man with a sick fetish?” Gaines asked.
“It is sexual abuse of a child, bottom line and all of this to say that in America we are normalizing pedophilia,” she charged. “Let me repeat that: we are normalizing pedophilia. We are normalizing this behavior in the guise of human rights but sexual abuse is not a human right for anyone. I hate to even be spreading this message but I think people need to see it.
“It’s up to us to stand up against evil which is exactly what this is,” she declared. “This is a battle of moral versus evil. The smirk on this man’s face says it all.”
