The exchange between gymnastics champion Simone Biles and swimmer Riley Gaines centered around the inclusion of transgender athletes in women's sports. Biles condemned Gaines, calling her comments 'sick' and labeling her a 'sore loser' for criticizing a team photo that featured a transgender player's celebration. This triggered backlash from other athletes like Sharron Davies, who accused Biles of abandoning women's sports advocacy. The discourse highlights the tension surrounding gender identity in athletics, with Gaines asserting that men do not belong in women's competitions, underscoring the deep divisions on this contentious topic.
You're truly sick, all of this campaigning because you lost a race. Straight up sore loser.
It's not my job or the job of any woman to figure out how to include men in our spaces.
