Simone Biles Spars with Riley Gaines on Social Media over Trans Athlete Debate

  • The girls’ softball squad from Champlin Park High School, led by transgender junior pitcher Marissa Rothenberger, secured the Minnesota Class 4A state title on Friday in Minneapolis.
  • The state's high school athletic association permits student-athletes to participate in sports according to their gender identity, allowing Rothenberger, who is biologically male, to compete in the girls' division.
  • Rothenberger threw every inning over the course of three tournament games, culminating in a complete-game shutout in the final where she allowed just three hits and struck out six, earning a spot on the All-Tournament team.
  • On Friday morning outside the stadium, a handful of demonstrators assembled calmly, displaying signs such as "Females deserve fair sports" to express bipartisan resistance to the policies in question.
  • The championship and policies sparked public debate, including social media exchanges between Simone Biles and Riley Gaines over transgender athletes' participation in female sports.
