@Simone_Biles YES! 🎯We can balance competitive fairness and inclusion. And- scrutiny over girls and women's bodies is harmful to ALL. Body image is the #1 reason girls drop out of sport (at twice the rate of boys). Policing girls' bodies for femininity is more harmful than any trans kid.

Simone Biles
Simone Biles@Simone_Biles·
I wanted to follow up from my last tweets. I’ve always believed competitive equity & inclusivity are both essential in sport. The current system doesn’t adequately balance these important principles, which often leads to frustration and heated exchanges, and it didn’t help for me to get personal with Riley, which I apologize for. These are sensitive, complicated issues that I truly don’t have the answers or solutions to, but I believe it starts with empathy and respect. I was not advocating for policies that compromise fairness in women’s sports. My objection is to be singling out children for public scrutiny in ways that feel personal and harmful. Individual athletes—especially kids—should never be the focus of criticism of a flawed system they have no control over. I believe sports organizations have a responsibility to come up with rules supporting inclusion while maintaining fair competition. We all want a future for sport that is fair, inclusive, and respectful. Xoxo Simone 🤍

@SenatorDurbin I want to say THANK YOU for your thoughtful questions with NCAA President Baker this week over transgender athletes in sport. The trans panic is harming all girls and women in sport far more than the <10 NCAA trans athletes. This needs to stop: abcnews.go.com/US/utah-school….

@LizabethAnne32 @AtomsDNA @JeanHatchet @BBCSport @BBCNews @twelve0fiveUK She was literally born female, what more do you want? All women have more testosterone than estrogen. She has higher than average levels, apparently. Some women are taller than average, others have more lung capacity. We don't need uninformed zealots policing women's bodies.

@RealTells @JeanHatchet @BBCSport @BBCNews @twelve0fiveUK She's actually just a woman. Assigned female at birth, lived entire life as woman. Some rumor of high testosterone but no proof (Zambian FA claims high T). People with no clue screaming because she's not perfectly feminine (e.g. white, thin).

@mattschmidtphd @VP Idk if any voters were persuaded, but DT certainly didn’t gain any undecided voters. She may have exposed his crazy enough to pull a few Republicans who can’t stomach a vote for him. She expertly baited him, with so much patience.

Score: @VP for the take-down. She showed him as he is: confused, confusing, bitter, sexist, racist, mean, uneducated, and mostly angry. That was her goal, and she did it well. But will it affect voters in the right states? I don’t know.

Support to elite female athletes in the UK needs to change, our survey shows high affect of the menstrual cycle on sport but low support provided.

@mattschmidtphd @YouTube If Putin uses this attack to conscript soldiers from Moscow, will he face backlash from families there?
