“If her inclusive dream were a reality, she would have zero gold medals.”

Simone Biles, the most medal gymnast in the US Olympic History, began the dispute, when he quarreled on Riley Gaines because he criticized the Champlin Park High School School in Minnesota, who won the State Championship of the AAAA 2025 class to the female, having a boy who identifies as a girl. “Comments off lol. It should be expected when your star is a boy,” Gaines said in a post X.

“You are truly sick, this whole campaign because you have lost a race. A rancid loser. You should raise the trans community and you can find a way to make inclusive sport or create a new way in which the transsexuals feel safe in sports. Maybe a transgenement category in all sports! Simone. Biles.

Biles then accused Gaines of intimidating Transgender athletes. In an additional X post, the gymnast told Gaines to “intimidate someone of your size, which ironically would be a man.”

Gaines responded in several posts on X, offering an analytical breakdown of Biles's comments. One of these included a post by Biles in October 2017, in which the gymnast seems to acknowledge that men have a biological advantage over women in sports competitions. ”

The dispute between Biles and Gaines continued in a podcast

Gaines continued to answer Balls in his podcast. “In just two tweets, Simone Biles has practically stained their reputation for anyone who has an honesty, for anyone who has a moral compass and for anyone who has an inherent desire to protect women, to fight for equal opportunities for men and women, especially in sport,” she said. “The conclusion I draw based on the answer I have seen in the last 12 hours at this time on Social Media, it has practically incinerated its inheritance in just two tweets.”

Gaines said during her podcast that she believes Biles will not compete from now, giving example to footballer Megan Rapinoe. She said in 2023 that she would support a transsexual player in the US female national team.

She retired from sports later that year. “What she did here is to pull her stairs under her feet, “Gaines said about Biles.” I saw people like Megan Rapinoe doing this. Simone Biles is just the last one who seems to no longer compete. Just as Megan Rapinoe did – he waited until he finished competing to take attitude in this issue, which, I can't understand. Get me out of the equation. Again, I don't care about personal attacks. In my life, I can't understand why Simone Biles, in 2025 would plead for this. “

Biles said he would greet a debate or discussion to talk about the problem of Transgender athletes in sports and women's sports. Gaines has been in the first line of supporting the correctness in the female sport since he finished in the fifth position with Lia Thomas, a Transgender athlete at the NCAA championships in 2022 in the 200 m free test. “I think he blindly supported this without actually thinking about the effects of what this would look like,” said Gaines. “As no one would know Simone Biles if it were not female gymnastics.
