Gaines

Gaines was a two-time All-Southeastern Conference swimmer at Kentucky.

Last week, Gaines reposted an X post from the Minnesota State High School League that congratulated the Champlin Park High softball team — which made national news because its star pitcher is transgender — for winning the 4A state championship.

“Comments off lol,” Gaines wrote about the league’s post.

Biles reposted Gaines’ post the same day and didn’t hold back in expressing her views on the matter.

Gaines responded on X with a post in which she accepted “Simone’s apology for the personal attacks including the ones where she body-shamed me” but stated that “you can’t have any empathy and compassion for the girls if you’re ignoring when young men are harming or abusing them.”
