Why doesn't Simone Biles start competing against men in gymnastics?

They call Simone Biles the GOAT, an acronym for "greatest of all time." It's an honor she's earned for her athletic prowess in gymnastics for nearly a decade. However, after her recent comments expressing her support and sympathy for boys who claim they are girls and crave to compete in female sports, it's time for the GOAT to buck up and make a change. Since she supports boys competing in girls sports, Simone Biles should start competing against men, not women.
Simone Biles attacked former collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines on Friday, blasting the swimmer-turned-political activist for calling out Champlin Park High School, a Minnesota high school softball team (a girls sport) that just won a state championship while, according to Gaines, having a boy on its roster as the team's star player. It's the latest example of the attack on women's sports.
Given the biological advantages a male has over a female in softball, most normal people would have agreed with Gaines for the simple fact that one team of high school girls did not lose a championship to another team of high school girls. An opportunity for fair scholastic athletic competition was stolen from all of Champlin Park's actual female opponents this year. One would think Biles would be empathetic. Instead, she exhibited her left-wing cult of transgenderism and vilified Gaines.
"You're truly sick, all of this campaigning because you lost a race," Biles posted on X. "Straight up sore loser. You should be uplifting the trans community and perhaps finding a way to make sports inclusive OR creating a new avenue where trans feel safe in sports. Maybe a transgender category IN ALL sports!!"
Biles's response is absolutely nothing short of unhinged. It's indicative of society's left-wing brainwashing to prioritize feeling sympathy for boys competing in girls sports, instead of girls who lose opportunities to boys competing in girls sports. It's a disappointing fanaticism that has corrupted our culture.
So, if Biles supports this cultish nonsense, then she should back it up. She needs to start competing against men immediately, not women. Why should other females have to be forced to compete against a different sex that is biologically bigger, faster, and stronger? If Biles supports this, let her actions speak louder than her words. She wanted the world to know how much of an ally she was. She should really show it and start competing against men.
She won't, though. We all know this, and we all know why. Biles and people like her regularly promote how much more enlightened, compassionate, and understanding they are. Yet, all of that enlightenment, compassion, and understanding typically evaporates when they are held to the same standards they demand of others. I would guess that Biles is no different.
Of course, Biles is in the twilight of her competitive gymnastics career. So, even if she hypothetically accepted such a challenge (she won't), it still wouldn't have much legitimacy since Biles is no longer in the athletic prime of her career. It would be more of a spectacle than anything.
Nevertheless, it is vital for anyone and everyone to push back on shamefully absurd comments such as Biles's. Her response is indicative of the monumental effect the Left has had on the culture, given that arguably the greatest female gymnast of all time was offended for calling out a girls high school softball championship team that was not a team full of girls.
Common sense has been replaced by ideologically incentivized cultural coddling. Simone Biles's disappointing and unhinged response is a prime example. One way to change that is through accountability. So, in the future, if any female supports boys playing in girls sports, they should start by enrolling in boys sports leagues.
Let's start with these people being the change they want to see instead of other innocent people who are victimized by radical left-wing cultural sycophants.

I thought you were against men and women competing together?
The number of people who screamed "follow the science" are willfully ignoring the science is mind boggling.
I don't really follow gymnastics but if memory serves me right the events each completes on are different so her training and abilities wouldn't be competitive
Interestingly, in gymnastics, women and men compete in completely different events.
Men compete in the high bar, rings, parallel bars and pommel horse while women compete in the uneven bars and balance beam. It is a sport that so completely understands the difference between men and women that they don't even use the same equipment.
Riley should watch the video of Biles racing her husband climbing a rope. He ate her dust.
Is rope climbing a sport? I don't recall her competing in the Olympic Rope Climbing. Maybe she can beat him at slap jack too.
