Simone Biles continues to make headlines for both her athletic prowess and her powerful voice on social issues.
She recently sparked a national debate after standing up for the inclusion of trans athletes in sports, fiercely clapping back at critics and defending young competitors from public scrutiny. Her outspoken stance led to a heated social media feud with activist Riley Gaines, centering on fairness and inclusivity in athletics. Biles ended up issuing a heartfelt apology to Gaines for making things personal. Through it all, Biles’ continued advocacy shows she’s not afraid to take a stand and inspire open conversation.
