It's hard for me to believe that the same lefty women who crusaded against men during MeToo are celebrating dicks in their faces in female locker rooms. It infuriates me when women, who've never been in a locker room with a dick in their face want to tell people like Riley that they should accept it.

I was really shocked at Simone's diatribe directed at Riley.

It really sounded like a trans identified person wrote it but for the 'trans category' bit. No trans identified individual wants a trans category. There's no female environment to validate their identity. A trans category is kryptonite to a trans identified individual.

That clueless line about trans categories shows Simone has not been following this issue at all but is merely parroting propaganda she's been fed. SO done with her. I guess making millions, marrying into the NFL, and attending the Met Gala have been enough to make her sell out.

Olbermann is a raging misogynist and generally a dolt and colossal asshole. I really don't understand why anyone listens to him about anything.

Though she has not officially announced it, there is a lot of speculation Bile* is set to retire. This is like Megan Rapinoe, defending these men after she retired and no longer has skin in the game. They got a shot, but don't care that many girls may not. It's so damn selfish! Apparently, neither is mentor material.

Accusing Gaines of jealousy is a very high school girl, or batshit crazy troon, argument.

Having males in female locker rooms and restrooms is especially difficult for sexual assaults vicitms, so for Bile* to defend these males is especially reprehensible.

*I know there is an s on the end, but bile suits her better.

'Accusing Gaines of jealousy is a very high school girl, or batshit crazy troon, argument.'

Absolutely!🎯 I honestly for a second thought a Troon had taken control of Simone's account. It just seemed really left field and very personal.

Doesn't Simone characteristically usually stay head down and completely avoidance orientated when it comes to making comments on political issues?

Do you know, I think I've just realised where the personal vitriol and 'bullying' allegation comes from. Some time last year Riley was asking sports women to come out and denounce what is going on in women's sports and she @'d some high profile sports women including Simone Biles.

It was a big thing in the Black community who were very divided on Riley's action of putting Simone on blast. Most, from what I remember, completely agreed with Riley and of course, Biles fans were defending her and saying she didn't need to be involved in such drama and distractions. Riley was accused by a few fans of bullying Simone.

I think Simone is projecting her feelings of being called out publicly and feeling 'bullied', on to the Trans sports individuals being bullied because Riley is calling them out publicly and Simone clearly empathises with them on that.

However, you can tell Simone is so out of touch because part of her vitriolic outburst was centred on why Riley didn't advocate creating alternative trans spaces in sports, which in fact has always been Riley's strong argument right out of the gate. Simone doesn't seem to be aware of this.

Good points! Now that you mention it, I do recall her calling out Biles. My thought at the time was, 'Why choose to call out BIles in particular? Many women in sports have remained silent, why not call out a white woman?'. And, yes, I think BIles had not previously expressed any political beliefs. As for jealousy, no one is more jealous, focuses more on comparing people, than a troon.

Jesus the idiocy of those comments! Riley "Should be campaigning for a trans category". I'm never not surprised and how dumb people are. Why the fuck is that Riley's problem?

There isn't a sports governing body on the planet that wouldn't set up a "Trans" category tomorrow if the trannies asked them for it. They would be blowing bugles and shouting it's creation from the rooftops, but they know if these sports bodies created a trans category of their own accord the TRAs would be screaming Twansphobia at them.

The narcissistic retards who muscle their way into women's sports DO NOT WANT a Trans Category they ONLY want to force their way into the women's category. It has nothing to do with wanting to pursue their sport it's all about the validation.

That really nasty reversal is probably the worst part: "But instead... You bully them... One things for sure, nobody's safe in sports with you around!!!!!".

Such a poisonous thing for her to say to any other woman, especially another survivor of sexual violence in women's sports. Disgusting.

Why has she come fighting about this out of nowhere? She literally could have coasted under the radar and retired without ever getting involved in this, as no one was trying to pull her into this fight. Now she's come at it like a bull in a china shop, isolating herself from women, and putting herself in the firing line by not even doing enough research on the topic to not attract the ire of the males she's trying to shill for (if she thinks the TIMs are going to accept the 'seperate but equal' thing then good luck to her). No woman wants to be in a changing room with a male, especially an intact heterosexual male, and Simone knows this. So why is she asking for it on behalf of all women and girls in America?

I didn't see Biles jumping to the defence of Allyson Felix when Nike slashed her sponsorship by 70% because she dared to become pregnant (shock horror!). Nike then went on to hire Dylan Mulvaney to advertise WOMEN'S sports clothing. Female athletes already get a raw deal compared to men, not only is there physiological differences that we are now supposed to pretend do not exist. If those women want to start families then likely their careers will be far shorter than their male counterparts, who do not need to worry about pregnancy and child birth recovery. Where was Bile's outrage during the Olympic boxing fiasco when men were literally being allowed to punch women in the face with impunity? She is entirely selfish as she knows her category will not be infiltrated by men due to the physiological differences between men and women.

I suspect her athletic career is ending and so she is happy to throw women still competing under the bus, so she can further her career in media or whatever she has her eye on.

Thanks for the explanation, sounds very regressive, 1950s, which could explain her support of the most regressive movement I have ever seen, the trans movement. The only thing being a wife qualified me for was giving my ex-husband's next wife some (hopefully) useful insight into him.

Simone Biles is obtuse. She is an outstanding gymnast and her achievements will stand a long time, but this uninformed rant against Riley Gaines just shows how this trans crap doesn’t affect her. She is retired so she got hers so f everyone after her.

She also knows that women’s gymnastics is safe, men have a different centre of gravity they can “do” women’s gymnastics but they will never be as good.

I am beyond tired of these ridiculous people who think that men who say they are women magically become women and no longer have male attitudes and drives. Being an effeminate men is not the same as femininity. Perverse men who say they’re women are jealous and covet women’s spaces it is all about dominance, affirmation, narcissism and being led by their sex drive and ego. Why do they expect women to make space for deviant and damaged men?

I have no tolerance for this sexist crap.

Nicki M.'s avatar

Yes, this whole thing is completely perverse. From porn screen origin to how it is playing out now in the real world in women's spaces. The fantasy of being/coveting the female body and dominating and controlling women and womanhood. The misogyny is real. As well as the en mass delusion.

That women like Simone Biles publicly claim to support this, despite having been sexually assaulted by a man in sports(coach) and having to go through the emotional trauma of testifying in court against him, despite knowing that had she been competing against men she would not be the Olympian she is today. Instead she chose to tear down a fellow woman sports player for standing up for women in sports and body shame her too! Make it make sense.

Riley did a Tiktok yesterday insinuating there could be. She mentioned she’d spoken to a few Olympians and athletes who had reached out to her in private and said there’s a lot going on behind the scenes she wouldn’t be sharing publicly, but she made it sound like Simone wasn’t just randomly jumping into this debate solely of her own accord.

I wouldn’t at all be surprised if she was paid or sponsored to do so.

Nicki M.'s avatar

Yes, I 100% believe so because it doesn't even sound like Simone and she is normally very image conscious and too insecure and worries a lot about how people will perceive her to come out with such a bold, extreme and very antagonistic statement, as black woman, against a blonde haired, pretty and very popular, white woman. Let's not pretend all these factors don't give a certain amount of hierarchy, privilege and support even within whiteness.

It just seems way too contrived to me, right from the get go.

What that Sophie Bush person said about Riley never placing higher than 5th is not even true. I have seen videos of Riley Gaines talking about what actually happened, and she said she actually tied with Thomas in that one race, but they gave him the trophy instead of her, even though she was the real winner of that race because he is a man who had no business in that race to begin with. She is one of the best female swimmers.

They need women to say yes and if not yes then it’s rape threats, misogynistic attacks and cries of “punching down” and claiming to be the MOST THREATENED & VULNERABLE IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD!!!!

They are all collectively repugnant, reprehensible and repulsive.
