A high school softball team shared a photo of its winning players, and Riley Gaines replied with the following: “Comments off lol. To be expected when your star player is a boy.” Simone Biles then responded to Gaines: “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!!!!!” Biles then took a stab at Gaines’s appearance, writing, “bully someone your own size, which would ironically be a male.”

So, let’s get this straight. Simone Biles, a self-described “survivor of sexual abuse” who testified that “no little girl must endure what I . . .  needlessly suffered under [Larry] Nassar’s guise of medical treatment,” is perfectly fine with males in female locker rooms. Simone Biles, who is on a poster with the words “It doesn’t matter what others say. It’s my body and it does incredible things. Beauty is NO COMPETITION,” is happy to make snide remarks about another female athlete’s appearance. Simone Biles, who recalled being “made fun of” for her muscles and aimed to promote bodily self-acceptance among young girls, doesn’t hesitate to shame a woman’s body as masculine if that woman has the wrong politics. Simone Biles, who starred in a docu-series titled “Simone Biles Versus Herself” but then withdrew during the Tokyo Olympics to focus on her “mental wellbeing” because of too much pressure from all the attention, is emboldened to call a woman a “sore loser” when that woman was actually denied a trophy she earned because the competition cared about the optics of supporting progressivism. Simone Biles, who didn’t have to compete against men for her Olympic medals, is fine with the next generation of female athletes watching males stand on the top of the podium. Forget the uneven bars, Biles thinks, now the entire women’s gymnastics division should be uneven.

Funnily enough, we don’t need to dig through years of Simone Biles’s interviews and social media posts to recognize the absurdity of her position. She does us a great favor by making her hypocrisy apparent: When attempting to promote men in women’s sports, Biles concedes that there are observable sex differences by disparaging Gaines’s appearance and “size.” The irony is that anyone who looks at Gaines and her infamous competitor, William “Lia” Thomas, will notice the impostor woman immediately. I guess we’re left to conclude that Biles’s tumbling skills transfer off the mat, since she’s capable of vaulting over truth and landing on hypocrisy.
