Simone Biles Slams Riley Gaines for Disturbing Transgender Comments

Rio Olympian Simone Biles recently criticized Riley Gaines, the former American swimmer and political activist, labeling her “sick” and a “sore loser” after Gaines’ remarks about a high school softball team. Following a social media post from the Minnesota State High School League showcasing Chaplin Park's victorious girls' team, which includes a transgender player, Gaines mocked the moderators for disabling comments. Biles swiftly responded, asserting that Gaines was harassing the community due to her competitive loss. Biles urged Gaines to support the transgender community and foster inclusivity in sports, suggesting the establishment of a separate category for transgender athletes. Gaines has notably campaigned against transgender athletes in women’s sports, further escalating the ongoing debate surrounding fairness and participation.
