Simone Biles Defends Boys in Girls’ Sports, Attacks Riley Gaines

Olympic gymnastics champion Simone Biles picked a fight with former collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines on Friday — over a boy who led his high school’s girls’ softball team to a state championship — but it was Gaines who stuck the landing.

Gaines raised the topic by sharing a photo of the championship team, noting that the Minnesota State High School League had turned off the comments feature on the post: “To be expected when your star player is a boy.”

Biles went on the attack then, delivering personal insults and saying, “You’re truly sick, all of this campaigning because you lost a race. Straight up sore loser. You should be uplifting the trans community and perhaps finding a way to make sports inclusive OR creating a new avenue where trans feel safe in sports. Maybe a transgender category IN ALL sports!! But instead … You bully them … One things for sure is no one in sports is safe with you around!!!!!”

“This is actually so disappointing. It’s not my job or the job of any woman to figure out how to include men in our spaces,” Gaines fired back. “You can uplift men stealing championships in women’s sports with YOUR platform. Men don’t belong in women’s sports and I say that with my full chest.”

But it didn’t end there. Biles tried another avenue, this time resorting to insults aimed at Gaines’ physical appearance.

“Bully someone your own size, which would ironically be a male,” she said.

Gaines repeated, “This is so disappointing. My take is the least controversial take on the planet. Simone Biles being a male-apologist at the expense of young girls’ dreams? Didn’t have that on my bingo card. Maybe she could compete in pommel horse and rings in 2028.”

“And the subtle hint at ‘body-shaming’???? Plzzzz I’m 5’5″,” Gaines added.

“All the horrific sexual abuse @Simone_Biles witnessed and spoke out against caused by one man, yet believes women should be forced to strip naked in front of men to validate the man’s feelings. You know how many gold medals you’d have if your ‘inclusive’ dream came true? Zero,” Gaines added later.

Detransitioner and activist Chloe Cole weighed in as well, telling Biles, “Tearing down other women just to please men and their fetish isn’t as progressive as you think. Your backwards stereotyping and bullying isn’t only disgusting, it’s also just wrong. Ironically if you wanted to bully someone your own size, you’d have to fight Dobby the elf.”
