Simone Biles’s Nasty Personal Attacks on Riley Gaines again show how Lost the Left is on Cultural Issues
In 30 years, the Democratic party has gone from defending Title 9 and opportunities for women in collegiate sports to trying to destroy the very chances that people on the left used to fight and believe in. There is no issue that defines the cultural wars between today’s Democratic and Republican party than the controversial topic of biological men being able to compete in women’s sports. The idea that two genders exist is a core scientific concept, and those who reject that notion clearly do not believe in science. Men have nearly 40 percent more core muscle than women in addition to generally being bigger as well, if biological males could compete in women’s sports then the opportunities for females in college and other professional sports would disappear very quickly.
One of the saddest and most pathetic events that has unfolded across American sports over the last decade is to hear well-known female athletes on the left such as Simone Biles and Megan Rapinoe, attack people such as Riley Gaines, a former athlete who has strongly and publicly defended the need to protect women’s sports in America. Gaines rose to prominence after she detailed being traumatized by having to change in locker rooms next to a biological male swimmer, Lia Thomas, who was dominating females after being unable to achieve success competing against men at the collegiate level. Riley Gaines was forced to change in closets, and she also has detailed how fearful the former athlete was to speak out against this injustice because of her concern about retribution from the left.
This weekend Simone Biles, one of the most accomplished female Olympians in US history, launched a series of nasty and personal attacks against the former Penn swimmer. Biles called Gaines a bully and absurdly claimed no one was safe with her around. The fact that successful female athletes whose careers would not exist if biological men were allowed to compete with women are defending the disgusting position of today’s failing Democratic party shows how lost the left is on cultural issues in America. The reality is that over 80 percent of the country believes that individuals who are born with male chromosomes should not be able to compete with biological women, this issue is simply a common topic for most Americans. When famous people whose careers would not exist if the policies these lost individuals are advocating are taking were implemented, this shows how out-of-touch Biles and the left are with America today.
The idea that there is no difference between biological men and those born with female chromosomes is both a rejection of core scientific concepts as well as a dangerous concept to base policies on as well. There are many on the left who support allowing those who identify as male to use women’s bathrooms and other spaces that are reserved for females to offer both privacy and basic protections to them. The disgusting rape case in Loudoun County is another example of the significant dangers of using these absurd beliefs in the real world to make policy. A girl was sexually assaulted by a male in the women’s bathroom in this incident in Virginia.
There has always been a gender divide in American politics, with males trending Republican and more women tending to vote Democratic. That is changing today. Trump and today’s modern Republican party are on the right side of many issues that women prioritize, ranging from crime, protecting girls’ rights to participate in female sports, to securing the border. While the 47th President has at times struggled, in particular, with college-educated women in the suburbs, the MAGA movement is beginning to make significant inroads with this key demographic Trump won in 2016, and issues such as this one are exactly why.
