I looked at the comments. I wanted to gouge out my own eyes after seeing some of them. I can't believe how low some people went. Even if one disagrees with Biles, some of what is being said... Oh my god.

Even if you are against trans women competing in women's sports events, Simone's post was COMPLETELY reasonable. She offered alternatives.

Some of the comments did make me laugh because they said "You wouldn't have won if you had been competing against men yourself." Clearly they don't know either (a) how women's gymnastics works and (b) how well Biles competes.

men's gymnastics and women's gymnastics are a completely separate sport, these lunatics demonstrate they know nothing about the sport.

Is this correct? I’m so glad I deleted my account but I just had to look.

 

[irichluck21]

Not showing that on my end

I really do not want to post it here, but Jen Sey and Riley Gaines are calling Simone a coward on twitter for not coming forward about LN earlier, because that has so much to do with Trans and Human Rights.

Using another woman (or child, can't remember how old Simone was) sexual assault as an attempt to "dunk" on her? Gross. How very "pro-woman" they are. Their followers are telling them how fucking gross that is, right? (gladder every day that I don't use the xitter) (and I don't care where you fall on the subject of transwomen in sports, Sey and Gains are doing gross, anti-woman things)

Not anti-woman. Far broader. It’s anti-human decency.

So gross.

Simone Biles is a national treasure, not only as a gymnast but as a human being.

I cannot stand Simone and her righteous attitude. Remember, she stayed training with a coach that has a history of abuse.

That doesn’t mean the was abusive at her gym. History does not mean the coach hasn’t learned. I would be upset if she did not support gymnasts who were abused at her gym. Have you heard that kind of accusation?

That doesn’t mean the was abusive at her gym.

Gymnasts who were not making World/Oly teams while at WCC have insinuated that he was.

 

[cftmoonlight79]

She never said one supportive word to those were abused by him.

I hate to say it, but good luck finding an elite coach without a history of alleged or proven abuse.

Twitter is terrible for mental health and designed to radicalize users. Anyone who cares about protecting women in sports shouldn't use the site, much less pay for it.

And before anyone accuses me of mansplaining: I practice what I preach.

Twitter does hurt my heart a lot...yet there I am

Twitter is great for people who think in sound bites and mindless slogans.

A damning indictment of our sport but... yeah.

Sometimes I wish I didn’t love gymnastics so much
