Simone Biles has come out in defence of males in women's sports, and has attacked Riley Gaines for fighting against it. She said on Twitter:

"@RileyGaines
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!!!!!"

So, so disappointing. Both my daughters do gymnastics and are huge SB fans, so it is awful for her to show such contempt towards RG, who is fighting for a level playing field for women and girls in sport. And to suggest a separate category as if nobody has ever thought of that and tried it 🤦🏻‍♀️

She didn’t speak out about Dr Nasser until it was safe to do so, even though her voice was have ended his assaults earlier. Which is ok- these things are complex. I think she envies women who are brave enough to speak out when it is not safe to do so.

Next we need to hear Biles' views on Imane Khelif.

Why do women get to do the work for trans athletes Simone? Let them create their sports categories..oh hang on, they don’t want them, they want to take away women’s achievements, that’s the aim of the game.

SB speaks from a point of privilege as its unlikely that a biologically male body could compete in female gymnastics successfully.

Her comment about Riley's size is horrible , I thought she'd know better after all of the negativity about female gymnasts bodies.

She’s an idiot. Riley Gaines is amazing and even though it’s hardly the point there are plenty of photos of her with Lia Thomas to prove she’s nowhere near his size!
Why should she be campaigning for trans people in sports, that’s really not her problem. She’s campaigning for women and girls in sport - duh
