Olympian Simone Biles is facing hard setback after clash with Riley Gaines over Trans Athletes -Debatten
The feud between Biles and Gaines has become one of the most viral topics on social media in the last three days dominating the top trending section of X, encouraging heated debates and controversial media coverage of the problem.
Gaines said in a social media video on Saturday that several team -usa -athletes have reached her to say she agrees with her attitude towards allowing men in women’s sports.
The feud started when Biles took question with Gaines who called a Minnesota High School If Softball Team won a State Championship Friday with a cross -cut pitcher.
Marissa Rothenberger, a transsexual athlete, threw a shutout to help Champlin Park High School win a state title.
Gaines, the host of Outkick’s “Gaines for girls” Podcast noted that comments on X were off the Minnesota State High School League’s post with a photo of the team on social media.
“To be expected when your star player is a boy,” Gaines wrote.
Biles answered and called Gaines “really sick” for her comment and said Gaines should be “uplifting” transking athletes. Biles sent another post on X that tells Gaines to “bully someone your own size, which ironically would be a man.”
Biles has been the subject of widespread criticism from conservatives and women’s sports rights activists.
President Donald Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr. Even ended the criticism with a few positions on X.
Other large Team USA sports -leading bodies have calmly changed their transgender policy in the midst of increasing opposition to trans -cluttering in women’s and girls’ sports.
US Track and Field (USATF) Official Transgender -The Authority Reconciliation Policy is now referring to the world’s athletics guidelines on its official web page.
USATF previously referred to the International Olympic Committee (IOC )’s policy, as seen in an archive via Wayback machine.
The IOC allows biological men to compete in the women’s category, while World Athletics prohibits any athlete who has undergone male puberty from competing as a woman.
US fence announced in April that it is preparing to change its gender eligibility policy following a viral protest from Women’s Fencer Stephanie Turner Sparkled mass transport and federal intervention by protesting against a trans opponent.
The organization said it is preparing to change its current policies It allows biological men to compete with women and girls in case it is “forced” to change it.
“In the event that the US fence is forced to change its current attitude in accordance with supervisory bodies or federal legislation, the new political states must, athletes competing in the US hencing-sanctioned tournaments compete according to their biological gender,” the announcement reads.
The proposed updated policy ensures that the women’s category “will only be open to athletes of the female gender.” The category of the gentlemen “will be open to all other athletes who are otherwise eligible for competition.”
Trump signed an executive order in February to ban trans athletes from women’s and girls’ sports as the majority of Americans turned out to oppose biological men who were allowed to compete and share dressing rooms with women.
ONE New York Times/Ipsos Survey Found the vast majority of Americans, including a majority of Democrats, do not think transnry athletes should be allowed to compete in women’s sports.
Of the 2,128 people who participated, 79% biological men who identify themselves as women said should not be allowed to participate in women’s sports. Of the 1,025 people who identified themselves as Democrats or inclined Democratic, 67%said transnry athletes should not be allowed to compete with women.
