Simone Biles apologized to Riley Gaines after a social media dispute about the inclusion of transgender athletes in women's sports. The incident erupted when Gaines criticized a high school softball team featuring a male-born pitcher, Marissa Rothenberger, whose transition began at a young age. Biles defended inclusion, labeling Gaines a 'sore loser' for her stance. The exchange included Gaines referencing Biles’ past trauma with Larry Nassar to challenge her views. This discourse highlights ongoing debates over fairness and representation in sports, particularly regarding transgender athletes.
