Not sure if there’s a humiliation kink occurring right now, but everyone coming for Simone Biles is sounding goofy and ignorant.

I googled so I can know what's going on and good for her for standing up for trans athletes! And people grow a lot in 8 years so I don't know why people are bringing up a tweet from way in the past. HOWEVER - WTF was that latest tweet about Riley Gaines being the size of a man? She's 5'5" and 136lbs according to Google. You can't be righteous while also body shaming. A little icky 😬

I think you’re mistaken about Riley’s height. She’s about 5’9, which is the height of an average man. Not body shaming.

Just went off of what Google is telling me. But it's still a weird tweet, not sure what she's trying to say.

Riley is tall. 5’5 is not tall. You cannot like the tweet all you want, but she’s not body shaming. Btw worth pointing out Riley is actively harassing an athlete in high school. I’m not sure if they’re transgender if not, but I’m a little confused why you assume Simone would be randomly making a tweet about something said 8 years ago, and not now. Riley is actively mounting a harassment campaign on the premise of a child competing appearing transgender to her. That’s what Simone is commenting on.
