00:01:13.820 Sports Plus from the New York Post,

00:01:15.680 real New York sports.

00:01:17.620 Hello, everybody.

00:01:25.120 Welcome back to the Gains for Girls podcast.

00:01:28.100 Let me tell you, it's Saturday at the time of me sitting in this chair filming this.

00:01:34.740 I'm super annoyed, to be honest with you, to be filming on a Saturday.

00:01:39.880 Number one, I spend so much of my time on the road, traveling.

00:01:42.620 I'm gone, time away from my dogs, my home, my husband.

00:01:46.760 But I was home this weekend, and I was looking forward.

00:01:49.540 I was so desperately looking forward to a relaxing, calm weekend at home.

00:01:56.440 I went to the gym this morning, got my coffee, came back home,

00:01:59.720 and now I'm sat filming this.

00:02:01.720 Why am I filming on a Saturday morning,

00:02:04.740 as opposed to our normally scheduled shows that we release on Wednesdays?

00:02:11.200 I wanted to film while my emotions and thoughts are pretty fresh,

00:02:18.200 because just last night, we got into a Twitter or an ex-altercation, if you will,

00:02:26.220 a back and forth with Simone Biles.

00:02:30.060 In just two tweets, Simone Biles basically tarnished her reputation 1.00

00:02:35.480 to anyone with a shred of honesty, to anyone with a moral compass,

00:02:40.620 and to anyone with an inherent, innate desire to protect women,

00:02:47.660 to fight for equal opportunity for both men and women,

00:02:51.260 especially as it pertains to sports.

00:02:53.380 She has what I would believe, what I have seen,

00:02:56.860 this is the conclusion I'm drawing based on the response that we have seen

00:03:00.700 over the past 12-ish hours at this point on social media.

00:03:04.300 She's basically incinerated her legacy in just two tweets. 0.99

00:03:09.940 So congratulations, Simone Biles.

00:03:12.160 There have been very few who have crashed out spectacularly as bad as this.

00:03:19.280 Let me get something very clear on the front end of this.

00:03:22.700 Simone Biles is a freaking phenomenal athlete. 1.00

00:03:26.520 I have had so much joy over the past eight years watching Simone Biles,

00:03:33.880 watching her compete, watching her succeed, watching her dominate. 0.67

00:03:38.140 She is the best of the best, bar none.

00:03:41.880 She is in a league of her own.

00:03:43.400 I have been very public in my admiration and respect, truthfully, of Simone Biles,

00:03:49.580 what she's done for the sport of gymnastics,

00:03:51.960 what she's done for women's sports in general.

00:03:54.220 She is a phenom.

00:03:55.720 That still stands, okay?

00:03:57.760 Like, let's be very, very clear about that.

00:04:01.260 I've respected her.

00:04:02.360 I mean, she's even gone back at this point and seen some of my tweets.

00:04:06.040 Again, admiring her.

00:04:08.280 Nonetheless, we got into an altercation, you guessed it, over men and women's sports.

00:04:12.880 I can't even, for the life of me, understand why in the year 2025,

00:04:20.120 Simone Biles would suddenly take the stance that she did. 1.00

00:04:24.100 We are going to unpack all of this.

00:04:27.740 It's kind of like this bad case study of what happens when you mix arrogance with the embrace

00:04:34.720 of wokeness.

00:04:36.220 And I say arrogance because it's no surprise that Simone Biles, whether it's wearing the 0.87

00:04:41.140 goat necklace, because again, she is. 0.99

00:04:42.860 I believe she had every right to do that, okay?

00:04:44.980 There is a level of arrogance.

00:04:46.140 And I've known she's always been a liberal, okay?

00:04:48.420 Like, again, not a shock to me.

00:04:50.100 I still supported her.

00:04:51.520 None of those things really mattered to me.

00:04:52.900 But this is pretty indefensible.

00:04:56.200 We're just going to kind of unpack where this came from, what was said, the back and forth

00:05:01.720 that we have had.

00:05:04.260 Let me pull up the tweets because, again, this is happening now.

00:05:07.820 We're going to have to insert some things post-production here.

00:05:10.300 The first tweet that Simone Biles put out, again, out of thin air, like this came out

00:05:16.400 of nowhere, you know, like off the top rail, no idea where this came from.

00:05:22.300 But Simone Biles tweeted this. 0.82

00:05:25.540 She said, 0.99

00:05:26.060 At Riley Gaines, you are truly sick. 0.89

00:05:29.360 All of this campaigning because you lost a race. 1.00

00:05:32.080 Straight up sore loser. 0.99

00:05:33.540 We're going to pause right there. 0.96

00:05:34.500 First of all, saying I lost a race, I'm assuming that she is insinuating, I know which race 0.98

00:05:42.720 she's referring to.

00:05:43.540 It's the national championships where we had a man in the pool.

00:05:46.740 Of course, I have lost so many races over my time as an athlete, right?

00:05:54.880 Especially my time in college.

00:05:57.540 That's no shock.

00:05:58.500 That's part of being an athlete.

00:05:59.800 I've lost more than I've won, okay?

00:06:01.600 Or at least come second, third, whatever.

00:06:03.440 Sure, I've done that more than I've won, as would most, again, athletes at that level.

00:06:08.960 That's pretty standard.

00:06:10.880 But to insinuate that this male beat me and to call me a sore loser because of it, number

00:06:16.460 one, he didn't beat me in the race you're referring to.

00:06:18.960 We tied.

00:06:20.040 We went the exact same time down to the hundredth of a second, which I would describe as mildly

00:06:24.480 embarrassing for the six foot four man that you were calling a brave, valiant warrior here.

00:06:30.240 Anyways, continuing on, you should be uplifting the trans community and perhaps finding a

00:06:36.060 way to make sports inclusive or creating a new avenue where trans feels safe in sports.

00:06:42.160 Pause again.

00:06:43.500 I should be uplifting the trans community.

00:06:46.340 Hold on.

00:06:47.600 Why is it my job?

00:06:48.700 Why is it the job of women to have to create an environment where men feel safe, where men 1.00

00:06:55.540 have their feelings validated and their identity affirmed?

00:07:00.120 Why is that my job?

00:07:01.220 Like, why is this a you should scenario?

00:07:03.760 Hold on, Simone.

00:07:04.980 If that's what you want to do with the platform that you have, the incredible platform that

00:07:10.440 you have, uh, that you've been able to, to build and develop because of your supreme athleticism,

00:07:16.960 then by all means, like it's America, you get to do that. 0.99

00:07:21.500 I get to call you stupid for doing it, but you get to do that if you want to do it. 0.98

00:07:25.620 I don't believe we're totally opposite ends here. 1.00

00:07:28.860 I do not believe it's the job of women to make men feel happy. 1.00

00:07:32.440 Okay.

00:07:32.780 Like, like not my job, this whole, you should thing.

00:07:35.400 That's crazy.

00:07:36.400 Uh, continuing on maybe a transgender category in all sports. 0.98

00:07:41.640 Again, we're going to pause.

00:07:44.260 I don't think she realized that in that one sentence, she's admitting that these people

00:07:51.140 who, who say they are transgender women are really just men.

00:07:55.080 She's admitting that by saying we should have a third category.

00:07:58.380 I hope she realizes that.

00:07:59.940 Secondly, this has been done several times now, uh, FINA, which is the international

00:08:05.040 governing body of swimming.

00:08:06.460 They were very quick to do this following that national championships.

00:08:09.840 They did create a third category, uh, even at the, like the international level, really

00:08:15.000 high level meets, uh, to which they said, look, we welcome all who are non-binary gender,

00:08:21.100 non-conforming those who identify as transgender.

00:08:23.680 This is a category for you.

00:08:25.220 And guess what?

00:08:26.300 Will Thomas sued over this because he said it wasn't satisfactory.

00:08:30.440 He didn't want to play sports.

00:08:32.560 He didn't want to swim if he couldn't trample on women in the process. 0.99

00:08:36.180 So this compromise that you're trying to make, don't, don't come to me with it.

00:08:40.680 You should go to the other side and see how they feel about this compromise, because it's

00:08:45.720 a compromise that they are not willing to make.

00:08:49.020 Continuing on.

00:08:50.060 She says, but instead you bully them by bully them.

00:08:53.860 She means calling out the cheating boys or men.

00:08:56.600 Okay.

00:08:57.500 One thing's for sure.

00:08:58.780 No one in sports is safe with you around.

00:09:02.220 I can't even actually make sense of that last little bit.

00:09:05.580 I don't, I don't really know what that means.

00:09:07.660 Um, me, someone who has been advocating for the fairness and the safety of women and girls

00:09:15.400 on the court or the field or the track, whatever athletic setting it is, they're not safe with

00:09:21.440 me around sports.

00:09:23.660 Anyways, so, so that was the first little encounter that we had.

00:09:28.700 Uh, I was pretty quick to respond back just, just very briefly.

00:09:31.840 Cause it popped up on my phone, right?

00:09:33.120 Like I don't have my notifications on with X, but it bypasses.

00:09:38.440 Like if there's, if someone comments to you or responds to you or mentions you and they

00:09:42.760 have a certain number of followers, it overrides the, the no notification rule, at least on my

00:09:47.860 phone it does.

00:09:48.400 So I get this notification that says, you know, Simone Biles has tagged you and I click on it.

00:09:53.420 I was so shocked because again, I've admired her for so long.

00:09:57.500 Like I was starstruck really when I got this notification.

00:09:59.920 Then of course I read it.

00:10:01.760 Um, to which at that point I was fully prepared for an onslaught of hatred and negativity to

00:10:09.540 come my way from her profile, which is not what happened at all.

00:10:13.520 By the way, we'll get into that.

00:10:15.260 So I see this pretty early on.

00:10:16.860 Uh, I respond back to it pretty quickly.

00:10:19.680 I say, this is actually so disappointing.

00:10:22.340 It's not my job or the job of any woman to figure out how to include men in our spaces. 0.99

00:10:27.180 You can uplift men stealing championships and women's sports with your platform.

00:10:31.280 Men don't belong in women's sports. 1.00

00:10:32.780 And I say that with my full chest, uh, I then go on to say, look, my take is the least controversial

00:10:39.780 take on the entire planet.

00:10:41.960 Uh, did not have Simone Biles being a male apologist, uh, at the expense of young girls 0.85

00:10:48.740 dreams on my 2025 bingo card.

00:10:51.220 Maybe she could compete in the pommel horse and rings in 2028.

00:10:55.320 She then tweets and it's separate like little thread here.

00:10:58.520 This was just a tweet she put out, she says, bully someone your own size, which would ironically

00:11:05.480 be a male.

00:11:07.680 This was the one that really took the cake for me.

00:11:11.420 A couple of reasons why number one, ironically enough, again, admitting that she knows that

00:11:18.320 men and women are, are physiologically, biologically categorically different.

00:11:24.740 Okay.

00:11:24.980 Like she just admitted that.

00:11:26.580 Anyways, wokeness sometimes actually all the time, uh, blinds the ability to rationally

00:11:33.640 and logically think.

00:11:35.040 So it seems number two, I'm five foot five.

00:11:39.500 Like that's not overly tall.

00:11:42.220 I'm about 130, 135 pounds standard, right?

00:11:46.860 Like of what I would describe as, as pure muscle.

00:11:50.360 Like when I was in college, I, we don't, I don't have the ability to like measure my body

00:11:54.820 fat percentage.

00:11:57.160 Now when I was competing, granted, I was definitely more fit and lean and toned.

00:12:00.380 Then, uh, my body fat percentage was 10 to 11%, which is, is pretty severely low actually

00:12:06.740 for a, a woman, uh, because of the way our bodies are built. 1.00

00:12:10.820 It's not the overly low for a man.

00:12:12.820 It's really, that's really low for a woman. 0.96

00:12:15.800 Um, and I think the thing that got me the most about this, and again, I'm very secure.

00:12:23.140 Okay.

00:12:23.380 Like this does not hurt my feelings.

00:12:25.400 I've had so many people, it's like been the most sweet and amazing thing ever messaged me,

00:12:31.460 uh, saying, you know, keep your head up.

00:12:34.140 I don't need you to do that because my head never went down.

00:12:36.960 It never dropped, uh, because I know I'm on the right side of history.

00:12:40.200 So comments like this, they don't hurt my feelings.

00:12:42.140 So many messages to look, I click on the message app.

00:12:45.040 You guys broke my phone like so sweet, so supportive, kind of annoying, uh, that now

00:12:53.420 again, on this, this weekend, I intended to be spending peacefully at home.

00:12:58.260 I now have a broken phone.

00:13:01.140 Anyways, that's, that's truthfully such a blessing to be able to have that problem.

00:13:05.500 Anyways, five foot five Wikipedia, ironically enough, lists me as five foot nine.

00:13:12.020 I am not five foot nine.

00:13:13.840 Uh, I actually made a video with my husband debunking this.

00:13:17.040 Let's watch it actually together right here.

00:13:19.460 Okay.

00:13:19.760 Figured I would whip out a tape measure to settle this debate.

00:13:23.820 Wikipedia says I'm five foot nine.

00:13:25.640 Simone Biles yesterday told me to bully someone my own size and then said, ironically, that 1.00

00:13:31.200 would be a man.

00:13:32.220 This is my six foot four husband, the same height as Will Thomas, my super cute husband.

00:13:37.720 I've got a tape measure.

00:13:38.460 Clearly, I don't have shoes on.

00:13:41.400 I'm standing back to back.

00:13:43.520 Don't know why the lights are flickering.

00:13:44.740 Maybe that's an omen.

00:13:45.880 Standing back to back.

00:13:47.180 I have to stand on it or the haters are going to say we have like a Republican tape measure.

00:13:53.820 Back to back.

00:13:55.660 What we got?

00:13:56.420 65 and a half on the nose, the hair below, actually.

00:14:00.180 Five foot five and a half.

00:14:02.740 It's debunked.

00:14:03.900 I'm five foot five and a half.

00:14:06.260 Uh, Wikipedia says, as I mentioned, I'm five foot nine.

00:14:09.060 It also describes Will Thomas as six foot one.

00:14:12.560 Uh, he is six foot four.

00:14:14.520 They are very much trying to like lessen the gap there.

00:14:18.240 No, he's a full eight, nine inches taller than me.

00:14:22.400 Simone Biles commenting on any other woman's body, which it's going to get even crazier 1.00

00:14:30.840 in, uh, less than a week when I share some, an announcement with you guys, um, as to, I

00:14:40.440 mean, just how absurd it is to have a woman commenting on another woman's body, especially 0.97

00:14:48.020 when it's Simone Biles, a woman who has, I mean, over the years, historically been scrutinized 0.99

00:14:53.940 for her stature, for her build. 0.74

00:14:56.080 She's very strong.

00:14:56.980 She's very muscular.

00:14:57.900 She, she has a very masculine, uh, appearing body because of her sport, something athletes 1.00

00:15:03.940 like me, uh, former athletes like me can understand, right?

00:15:08.200 Like that's the body that serves her for the purpose it needs to serve her for.

00:15:13.680 That is why she is so good because her body is built the way that it is. 1.00

00:15:18.760 Um, she, again, because of the scrutiny that she has faced, she has been a part of several

00:15:24.800 different like body positivity campaigns.

00:15:28.080 If you will, uh, we've got a picture here that we're going to insert of, um, one of the

00:15:34.120 campaigns that she did.

00:15:35.460 It says here, it doesn't matter what others say.

00:15:37.580 It's my body and it does incredible things.

00:15:39.560 Beauty is hashtag no competition.

00:15:42.320 Uh, that's one of the body positivity campaigns that she's been in. 0.83

00:15:45.600 If we have a video, uh, here that I'm going to show you guys, check it out.

00:15:49.560 I'm Simone Biles and I love my body.

00:15:51.780 It helps with gymnastics and it teaches younger girls to love their bodies as well. 0.99

00:15:56.480 I think I've learned to love my muscles a lot more than when I was younger.

00:16:00.440 I got made fun of from my arms a lot.

00:16:02.840 Some people would say like mean things.

00:16:04.740 They used to call me like a soldier.

00:16:06.000 At the time, it didn't make me feel the best.

00:16:09.100 So I wore sweaters or jackets all year long.

00:16:12.200 Now I show off my arms all the time.

00:16:14.580 To body shimmers.

00:16:16.740 Let me see.

00:16:17.860 I feel like if you love your body, then that's all you can do.

00:16:21.620 So it doesn't matter what anybody else says.

00:16:23.880 I don't think it's out of jealousy.

00:16:26.120 Here she's speaking positively about her muscles in an effort, again, to inspire young girls to

00:16:33.120 love their bodies.

00:16:34.300 It's a pretty beautiful message.

00:16:35.480 I'm not one that typically gets behind like the body positivity movement, especially when

00:16:41.380 it's it's to glorify being overweight.

00:16:44.020 But this I think is incredible, again, to inspire young girls to be fit, to be muscular, to to

00:16:50.760 exercise, to have their bodies serve the purpose that it needs to serve them for, especially

00:16:56.360 when it comes to sports.

00:16:57.480 So I think this is incredible.

00:16:59.700 But again, she said, I looked like a man because I oppose boys in girls sports.

00:17:06.620 Really, really crazy stuff.

00:17:08.020 A couple more points I want to make now that I'm thinking about it.

00:17:10.660 Number one, for Simone Biles, again, to now come out and say, basically support the idea of men 1.00

00:17:19.960 participating in women's sports at the expense of young girls dreams. 0.82

00:17:23.740 The first thing, truthfully, that I thought of was how heroic and brave she was in calling out,

00:17:31.520 number one, witnessing and helping to expose the sexual abuse that female gymnasts like herself

00:17:39.740 experienced at the hands of one predatory man.

00:17:44.220 Of course, that man being Larry Nassar.

00:17:47.440 And again, let me make my my stance on this very, very, very clear. 0.98

00:17:52.500 I hope Larry Nassar spends every single second for the rest of his life rotting away and miserable 0.98

00:18:00.100 in a prison cell. 0.97

00:18:01.660 OK, gymnasts were failed by a system that protected an abusive man at the expense of girls safety,

00:18:11.200 their mental health, their well-being.

00:18:13.000 OK, like like I emphatically say that.

00:18:17.160 So Simone and I are on the exact same page there.

00:18:21.560 But where we, of course, align a little differently is when other girls outside of Simone Biles or 1.00

00:18:29.100 her teammates have to endure predatory men. 1.00

00:18:33.220 I don't say it lightly to compare Larry Nassar to men who want to undress and shower with women, 0.96

00:18:42.220 which is exactly what me and my teammates had to go through.

00:18:44.940 Many of those girls in that locker room describing, again, the scene that I witnessed that I am now

00:18:52.320 speaking out against similar in the sense where many of these girls were sexual assault survivors.

00:18:59.420 OK, like had already in some way, shape or form experienced sexual abuse.

00:19:05.180 Now they're in a setting where they're forced to undress, strip naked in front of a fully grown man

00:19:09.920 while he also strips naked watching the girls.

00:19:13.060 Yet those girls couldn't say a thing about it. 1.00

00:19:15.500 OK, like could you get more perverted than that?

00:19:20.480 Those are the conclusions that I'm drawing here.

00:19:22.740 But Simone Biles doesn't seem to take a problem with female athletes who continue to be failed by a system 1.00

00:19:30.520 that protects abusive men when it comes to the issue of allowing men into our sports and into our locker rooms.

00:19:38.420 Actually, she believes she's in lockstep.

00:19:41.460 She believes that women should be forced to strip naked in front of these men to protect the men's feelings. 0.99

00:19:47.980 We've got a video here.

00:19:49.360 I found this yesterday of Simone Biles testifying before Congress again in a manner that I believe to be heroic.

00:19:57.060 OK, let's watch it here.

00:19:58.820 I am also a survivor of sexual abuse, and I believe without a doubt that the circumstances that led to my abuse

00:20:04.220 and allowed it to continue are directly the result of the fact that the organizations created by Congress

00:20:08.780 to oversee and protect me as an athlete, USA Gymnastics,

00:20:11.880 and the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee failed to do their jobs.

00:20:15.940 I don't want another young gymnast, Olympic athlete, or any individual to experience the horror that I and hundreds of others

00:20:21.320 have endured before, during, and continuing to this day in the week

00:20:26.020 of the Larry Nassar abuse.

00:20:30.420 To be clear,

00:20:32.200 Sorry.

00:20:34.120 Take your time.

00:20:36.980 To be clear, I blame Larry Nassar,

00:20:39.300 and I also blame

00:20:40.240 an entire system

00:20:42.860 that enabled and perpetrated his abuse.

00:20:46.000 I've been in that same seat,

00:20:48.040 and when I was in that seat,

00:20:49.820 again, testifying before Congress and the Senate many times,

00:20:52.880 I got just as emotional.

00:20:54.600 Again, it's to compare the two,

00:20:58.320 I know how that sounds.

00:20:59.780 Again, to those who can very blatantly see the abuse,

00:21:03.380 the sexual, horrific abuse that Larry Nassar was performing

00:21:07.460 and doing to these young, vulnerable girls.

00:21:11.740 I mean, I can only relate this to the experience I had.

00:21:17.840 When I sat in that seat,

00:21:19.400 I was emotional,

00:21:20.700 thinking about the next generation,

00:21:22.520 just like Simone Biles is doing. 1.00

00:21:25.460 I mean,

00:21:25.920 our verbiage,

00:21:27.760 the messaging,

00:21:28.720 it's essentially the same.

00:21:30.100 We want to protect girls.

00:21:32.380 We want to make sure what happened to us

00:21:34.360 doesn't happen to any other woman or girl,

00:21:37.720 any other person ever again.

00:21:40.400 Yet, there seems to be a bit of a disconnect here.

00:21:44.020 Again, it breaks my heart

00:21:46.520 to see this,

00:21:49.300 to hear this,

00:21:49.980 to understand that this is the realization,

00:21:53.280 the conclusion that she came to

00:21:55.480 following my very controversial stance

00:21:59.860 of men should not be allowed to compete in women's sports. 0.95

00:22:04.600 Anyways,

00:22:04.920 this morning I woke up again.

00:22:07.040 This happened on Friday evening.

00:22:08.340 Woke up Saturday morning

00:22:09.340 to a USA Today article

00:22:12.980 from Nancy Armour.

00:22:15.260 She is just about insufferable as they come, 0.99

00:22:20.580 truthfully.

00:22:21.640 She has been the front runner for USA Today,

00:22:24.860 at least,

00:22:25.600 in discriminating against girls.

00:22:27.800 Not even just that, actually.

00:22:30.280 I would say it's worse than that.

00:22:33.200 Into shaming,

00:22:35.240 publicly humiliating girls like myself

00:22:38.260 for opposing this, 0.80

00:22:40.300 for opposing having to strip down naked

00:22:42.120 in front of a man.

00:22:43.460 I remember actually during all the,

00:22:45.540 maybe you remember,

00:22:46.220 the Mountain West Conference

00:22:47.600 Women's Volleyball Championship tournament

00:22:50.760 where San Jose State University

00:22:52.780 had a man posing as a woman on their team.

00:22:55.640 several teams,

00:22:57.240 actually five Division I teams

00:23:00.520 forfeited when it came their turn

00:23:02.920 to play San Jose State University.

00:23:05.080 Southern Utah,

00:23:05.780 Utah State University,

00:23:07.280 University of Nevada at Reno,

00:23:09.620 Boise State,

00:23:10.260 and University of Wyoming.

00:23:11.460 And I remember Nancy Armour

00:23:12.700 put out an article

00:23:15.420 following,

00:23:17.580 I think it was Boise State,

00:23:19.260 when they ended up forfeiting

00:23:21.200 their match against San Jose State.

00:23:22.900 She said that the Boise State players

00:23:25.600 are word for word

00:23:26.760 committed to bigotry

00:23:28.680 and that they were the real threat

00:23:30.880 to women's sports here. 0.98

00:23:32.420 Not the boy,

00:23:33.460 not the boy posing as the girl

00:23:35.200 who had already given many girls

00:23:36.540 at this point

00:23:37.180 severe career ending,

00:23:40.440 not just season ending,

00:23:41.680 career ending concussions,

00:23:43.540 but the girls 0.99

00:23:44.440 who stood up for their own safety

00:23:46.300 in the sport of volleyball

00:23:47.980 were the real threat

00:23:49.320 to women's sports.

00:23:50.360 So, all that to say,

00:23:52.240 she has long been proven

00:23:54.220 to be utterly insufferable

00:23:57.240 and should not have a job

00:23:59.460 at USA Today,

00:24:00.280 but I guess that's what

00:24:01.760 the appeal is,

00:24:03.740 or at least what they believe

00:24:05.360 the appeal is.

00:24:06.080 It's why their ratings,

00:24:07.360 similar to CNN,

00:24:08.520 MSNBC ratings,

00:24:10.100 viewership,

00:24:10.840 tanking,

00:24:11.660 like horrendously,

00:24:13.900 because they are so committed

00:24:15.400 to this.

00:24:15.840 Anyways,

00:24:16.500 this morning an article

00:24:17.280 came out.

00:24:17.800 The title was Simone Biles

00:24:20.140 shows her greatness again

00:24:21.820 in standing up

00:24:22.860 for the transgender community.

00:24:24.820 Number one,

00:24:25.760 Simone Biles,

00:24:26.720 in the two tweets

00:24:27.600 that Nancy Armour

00:24:28.500 is referring to,

00:24:29.840 hardly stood up

00:24:31.560 for the transgender community.

00:24:33.280 Really,

00:24:33.560 all she did

00:24:34.480 was personally attack

00:24:36.500 and body shame

00:24:37.840 me,

00:24:39.200 another woman, 0.52

00:24:39.960 someone who has opposed

00:24:41.040 men and women's sports,

00:24:42.180 but to Nancy Armour,

00:24:43.220 that is as good

00:24:45.060 as standing up

00:24:46.300 for the transgender community.

00:24:48.600 I've got a little

00:24:49.280 paragraph in the article

00:24:50.980 here where she says,

00:24:52.340 there is no scientific evidence

00:24:54.860 that transgender women

00:24:56.320 athletes have a physical advantage

00:24:58.720 over cisgender women athletes, 0.58

00:25:00.420 but that hasn't stopped

00:25:01.700 Riley Gaines

00:25:02.920 from claiming they do.

00:25:04.280 Let me,

00:25:04.600 like,

00:25:05.380 rephrase that for you.

00:25:07.020 Put it in

00:25:07.780 normal nomenclature

00:25:09.780 that people like my grandma

00:25:11.580 can understand.

00:25:12.540 What Nancy Armour 0.95

00:25:14.460 and USA Today

00:25:15.440 is saying

00:25:16.160 is that there are no,

00:25:17.700 there's no scientific evidence

00:25:18.900 that men

00:25:19.600 have a physical advantage

00:25:20.640 over women. 1.00

00:25:21.580 Do they realize,

00:25:23.400 which,

00:25:23.920 that's a rhetorical question,

00:25:25.040 of course,

00:25:25.500 they,

00:25:26.500 or maybe they do realize,

00:25:27.960 I think they're just so blinded.

00:25:29.780 Do they realize 1.00

00:25:30.680 how stupid 1.00

00:25:31.500 this sounds? 1.00

00:25:33.740 How infactual

00:25:35.080 this is?

00:25:35.720 How,

00:25:35.940 how utterly

00:25:37.000 incorrect it is

00:25:38.200 to say

00:25:39.200 that men

00:25:40.860 don't possess

00:25:41.580 a physical advantage

00:25:42.820 on average

00:25:43.680 over women?

00:25:45.320 Anyways,

00:25:45.980 Nancy Armour

00:25:46.420 goes on to say,

00:25:47.440 she,

00:25:48.280 referencing me,

00:25:49.600 Riley,

00:25:50.340 insists that they are

00:25:51.360 robbing cisgender women 0.99

00:25:52.960 of places on the podium 0.98

00:25:53.980 and she doesn't care 1.00

00:25:54.780 if it's a 12

00:25:55.420 or a 22 year old

00:25:56.380 that she's putting

00:25:56.920 in harm's way

00:25:57.720 in this overheated climate

00:25:59.700 where ignorance

00:26:00.480 and violence

00:26:01.260 are celebrated equally.

00:26:04.420 Two things.

00:26:05.600 I don't care

00:26:06.220 if it's a six year old

00:26:07.240 or a 50 year old.

00:26:08.200 She could make that,

00:26:09.000 that gap

00:26:09.780 a little more

00:26:10.600 Jurassic here

00:26:11.680 because a man

00:26:12.340 is a man

00:26:12.680 is a man

00:26:13.020 and a boy

00:26:13.420 is a boy

00:26:13.820 is a boy.

00:26:14.400 I don't care

00:26:15.020 how old they are.

00:26:15.920 That's not what

00:26:16.560 we're debating here.

00:26:17.880 If you are a boy,

00:26:18.740 you are a boy.

00:26:19.440 If you are a man,

00:26:20.240 you are a man.

00:26:21.100 Like,

00:26:21.380 doesn't matter.

00:26:22.100 Age is, 1.00

00:26:23.220 that's a stupid point 1.00

00:26:24.120 to bring up. 1.00

00:26:25.300 And to,

00:26:25.800 to end that little paragraph

00:26:28.000 by saying,

00:26:28.980 in a climate

00:26:30.020 where ignorance

00:26:31.200 and violence

00:26:31.940 are celebrated

00:26:33.240 equally,

00:26:35.060 is she insinuating

00:26:36.160 that it's the right?

00:26:37.280 That it's people like me,

00:26:38.900 people with,

00:26:39.460 with common sense

00:26:40.480 conservatives

00:26:41.180 who are celebrating

00:26:42.720 violence.

00:26:43.880 Really.

00:26:44.840 Not the people

00:26:45.680 who are throwing

00:26:46.360 Molotov cocktails 0.99

00:26:48.460 at Jews 0.99

00:26:49.200 in Boulder, Colorado.

00:26:50.480 No,

00:26:50.620 that's not celebrating

00:26:51.400 violence.

00:26:52.140 No,

00:26:52.260 not the people

00:26:52.900 who have celebrated

00:26:54.580 continuously

00:26:55.640 Luigi Mangione,

00:26:57.740 the man who shot

00:26:58.620 senselessly

00:26:59.800 a healthcare CEO 0.88

00:27:01.040 in the back 0.89

00:27:02.400 of the head

00:27:03.100 twice.

00:27:03.880 No,

00:27:04.100 not him.

00:27:04.660 Not the people

00:27:05.040 celebrating

00:27:05.520 that sort of violence

00:27:06.600 because that's not violence.

00:27:07.580 That's justified 0.78

00:27:08.440 to people like Nancy Armour.

00:27:10.700 Not the people

00:27:11.220 who fly 4,000 miles

00:27:13.060 to El Salvador

00:27:14.280 to get their picture

00:27:15.500 taken with

00:27:16.400 an illegal gang member

00:27:17.920 or I'm supposed to say

00:27:19.140 an alleged illegal

00:27:20.200 gang member

00:27:20.900 who is about to face

00:27:22.520 human smuggling charges

00:27:24.360 in my home state

00:27:25.280 of Tennessee.

00:27:25.920 Okay,

00:27:26.120 like,

00:27:26.760 like,

00:27:27.780 when she says

00:27:29.080 it is people

00:27:30.340 like me,

00:27:31.300 I'm assuming

00:27:32.100 that's what she's

00:27:32.800 insinuating,

00:27:33.420 people like me

00:27:34.340 who are celebrating

00:27:35.840 violence,

00:27:37.380 she should really

00:27:38.540 reconsider that

00:27:39.580 or maybe she shouldn't

00:27:40.800 because this will

00:27:42.280 make things

00:27:42.980 a breeze

00:27:44.320 in 2026

00:27:45.540 and I think

00:27:46.360 if they continue

00:27:47.240 in 2028.

00:27:50.140 Last thing,

00:27:50.880 she says,

00:27:51.220 Gaines has publicly

00:27:52.180 lobbied for Biles

00:27:53.600 and Caitlin Clark

00:27:54.240 to support her

00:27:54.980 and her hate.

00:27:56.720 The public lobbying

00:27:57.900 part is true.

00:27:58.960 I've called on Simone Biles,

00:28:00.180 I've called on Caitlin Clark,

00:28:01.360 I've called on athletes

00:28:02.160 like Serena Williams,

00:28:03.860 some of the greats,

00:28:04.800 again,

00:28:05.060 people I love,

00:28:06.460 people I look up to,

00:28:07.560 people young girls

00:28:08.300 across the country

00:28:09.160 look up to.

00:28:10.000 I have called on them

00:28:11.240 for support here

00:28:12.600 and I'm not asking them

00:28:14.080 to,

00:28:15.060 at least at the beginning

00:28:15.860 of this,

00:28:16.860 wade into a political

00:28:18.160 conversation discussion

00:28:20.620 here because

00:28:21.320 this shouldn't be

00:28:22.860 a political discussion.

00:28:24.420 Of course,

00:28:24.840 it's inevitably

00:28:25.540 become one.

00:28:26.620 It shouldn't be one.

00:28:27.920 It really shouldn't.

00:28:28.720 It's a civil rights issue.

00:28:30.240 It's a humanitarian issue.

00:28:31.380 It's a moral issue

00:28:32.440 that so many women 1.00

00:28:34.300 with platforms

00:28:35.080 have been totally silent on.

00:28:38.020 But to say this is

00:28:39.480 to support me

00:28:40.920 and my hate,

00:28:42.220 again,

00:28:42.700 that's crazy.

00:28:43.780 But Nancy Armour says

00:28:45.220 to ask Biles

00:28:47.100 to do this

00:28:47.620 was a laughable idea

00:28:48.840 to anyone

00:28:49.380 who has followed

00:28:50.280 Biles' 0.91

00:28:51.060 illustrious career,

00:28:52.760 which it is illustrious.

00:28:54.680 Again,

00:28:55.480 I don't think

00:28:56.260 I can say it enough times.

00:28:57.360 She's incredible.

00:28:58.700 But what she's done here

00:29:00.120 is effectively

00:29:00.860 pull up the ladder

00:29:02.380 behind her.

00:29:04.020 We've seen people

00:29:04.840 like Megan Rapinoe

00:29:05.840 do this.

00:29:07.700 Simone Biles

00:29:08.400 is just the latest

00:29:09.300 where apparently

00:29:10.920 she's done competing

00:29:11.880 just like Megan Rapinoe did,

00:29:13.380 waited until they were

00:29:14.960 done competing

00:29:15.940 to take a stance

00:29:18.240 on this issue,

00:29:19.040 which for the life of me,

00:29:20.720 I cannot understand.

00:29:22.040 Take me out of the equation.

00:29:23.500 Again,

00:29:23.640 I don't care about

00:29:24.240 the personal attacks.

00:29:25.020 I really don't.

00:29:25.600 I cannot for the life of me

00:29:27.880 understand why

00:29:29.200 Simone Biles

00:29:30.000 in the year 2025

00:29:31.480 would advocate for this.

00:29:34.020 Like I said,

00:29:34.660 I was prepared

00:29:35.260 for the onslaught

00:29:36.480 of hatred

00:29:37.880 and negativity

00:29:38.800 when I saw this

00:29:40.500 pop up on my phone.

00:29:41.580 I was like,

00:29:42.040 oh gosh,

00:29:42.480 I'm going to be fielding

00:29:43.660 negative main comments

00:29:45.440 about my appearance

00:29:46.300 or whatever else

00:29:47.500 all weekend.

00:29:48.040 I just didn't really want to.

00:29:49.880 Again,

00:29:50.340 I can handle it.

00:29:51.220 I can take it.

00:29:52.280 But,

00:29:52.720 of course,

00:29:53.080 not what anyone

00:29:53.760 wants to be reading

00:29:55.000 or seeing

00:29:55.800 or having to engage with.

00:29:58.500 That is not at all

00:30:00.200 what has happened.

00:30:01.840 Simone Biles,

00:30:02.900 if you go look at her comments

00:30:04.220 on social media,

00:30:05.340 we'll put a screen grab here

00:30:06.500 of what those

00:30:08.140 comment sections

00:30:09.740 look like.

00:30:11.860 I mean,

00:30:12.360 virtually everyone

00:30:13.320 is in defense of,

00:30:15.640 not defense of me,

00:30:17.120 is in defense of the stand

00:30:18.540 that I have taken.

00:30:19.500 And to be very clear

00:30:20.380 in saying defense of me,

00:30:22.060 Simone Biles

00:30:22.580 isn't attacking me.

00:30:24.120 I mean,

00:30:24.340 she is.

00:30:25.260 But,

00:30:25.820 what she's really doing

00:30:27.600 is attacking people

00:30:29.580 like my younger sister.

00:30:31.320 My younger sister

00:30:32.180 is an elite level gymnast.

00:30:33.860 First of all,

00:30:34.260 I come from a family

00:30:35.020 of athletes,

00:30:35.620 okay?

00:30:35.860 Like,

00:30:36.380 my dad played

00:30:37.120 professional ball.

00:30:37.920 He's an SEC

00:30:38.560 Hall of Famer.

00:30:39.520 My mom's a Division I

00:30:40.540 softball player,

00:30:42.200 all-conference team.

00:30:43.640 My oldest sister

00:30:44.460 went to Ole Miss.

00:30:45.620 She played softball.

00:30:46.720 My brother,

00:30:48.000 collegiate football.

00:30:49.560 My youngest sister,

00:30:50.500 again,

00:30:51.780 elite level gymnast,

00:30:52.720 she's the best athlete,

00:30:54.040 dare I say,

00:30:55.120 which I would never

00:30:55.660 tell her this,

00:30:56.740 she's the best athlete 0.84

00:30:57.820 out of all of us.

00:30:59.020 She will go on

00:30:59.780 to do incredible things.

00:31:01.080 I would imagine,

00:31:02.080 my hope for her,

00:31:03.300 is to continue

00:31:04.820 her collegiate career

00:31:05.780 in the SEC,

00:31:06.700 the best conference,

00:31:07.440 and continue

00:31:09.520 excelling and succeeding

00:31:10.680 as she's done

00:31:11.780 since she was

00:31:12.940 a little girl.

00:31:13.660 She loves

00:31:14.640 Simone Biles.

00:31:16.940 I saw her this morning.

00:31:18.300 We work out together,

00:31:19.560 which is incredible.

00:31:21.980 She works out at 5 a.m.

00:31:23.240 with me

00:31:23.740 in the mornings,

00:31:24.640 every single morning,

00:31:25.600 at least the mornings

00:31:26.200 that I'm home.

00:31:27.180 We lift together

00:31:28.480 at 5 a.m.,

00:31:29.580 and in the summertime,

00:31:30.800 now,

00:31:31.260 she's done with school.

00:31:32.180 She's a sophomore

00:31:32.620 in high school.

00:31:33.820 She goes to the gym

00:31:34.980 to practice,

00:31:36.640 gymnastics practice,

00:31:38.000 for, I mean,

00:31:39.340 the rest of the day,

00:31:40.640 but she fits in

00:31:41.880 that extra hour

00:31:42.680 of lifting

00:31:43.140 with me in the mornings

00:31:44.100 because she's

00:31:45.520 that dedicated

00:31:46.940 at 16 years old.

00:31:48.580 So I saw her this morning,

00:31:49.760 and she almost had

00:31:51.240 tears in her eyes

00:31:52.180 with this, like,

00:31:54.220 internal dilemma

00:31:56.660 that she was facing.

00:31:59.240 She looks up to me

00:32:00.600 so much,

00:32:01.600 as I would imagine

00:32:02.660 many younger sisters

00:32:03.580 do to their older sisters. 0.69

00:32:06.040 She always tells me,

00:32:07.080 you know,

00:32:07.220 I want to be just like you.

00:32:08.500 She's as fit as can be.

00:32:09.660 She's a muscle.

00:32:10.520 I'll insert a picture of her,

00:32:11.880 like,

00:32:12.200 I'm talking like

00:32:13.020 a raging 12-pack.

00:32:14.160 She's so strong,

00:32:15.900 but she loves Simone Biles,

00:32:18.100 and so she saw me this morning,

00:32:19.180 and she's like,

00:32:19.640 Riley, like,

00:32:21.280 I thought you guys

00:32:22.280 were on the same team.

00:32:23.720 Like,

00:32:23.980 I thought you and Simone

00:32:26.360 were fighting

00:32:27.200 for the same things

00:32:28.280 and, you know,

00:32:29.700 amplifying

00:32:30.420 and promoting

00:32:31.640 the idea

00:32:32.660 of women in sports,

00:32:34.880 what this looks like,

00:32:36.460 but she said,

00:32:37.680 clearly,

00:32:38.300 you guys are not.

00:32:39.380 She said,

00:32:39.580 it's all her gem

00:32:40.240 could talk about,

00:32:41.020 how awful

00:32:41.740 Simone Biles

00:32:42.880 treated me

00:32:45.080 and the message

00:32:45.920 that she sent

00:32:46.680 to those young girls.

00:32:48.040 It breaks my heart.

00:32:49.080 I'll finish with this.

00:32:50.020 I would welcome

00:32:51.980 a debate

00:32:52.580 with Simone Biles

00:32:54.280 to talk about the issue.

00:32:56.480 Of course,

00:32:57.020 I would prefer

00:32:57.500 to leave anything personal,

00:32:59.300 like my looks,

00:33:00.620 out of it,

00:33:02.100 but would love

00:33:02.920 to welcome a debate

00:33:03.780 on what this

00:33:05.400 looks like,

00:33:07.160 how this plays out

00:33:08.620 in reality,

00:33:10.080 how this is only

00:33:10.940 happening one way.

00:33:12.720 If,

00:33:13.440 again,

00:33:13.800 Simone is saying that,

00:33:15.640 you know,

00:33:16.000 it's totally fair.

00:33:17.240 Why aren't we seeing women 0.98

00:33:18.240 excel and dominate

00:33:19.840 in men's sports,

00:33:21.220 right?

00:33:22.900 It's only happening

00:33:23.880 one way.

00:33:24.400 I would love

00:33:24.940 a debate,

00:33:26.020 or not even a debate,

00:33:26.960 a discussion.

00:33:27.540 That sounds more inviting.

00:33:28.960 I would welcome

00:33:29.380 a discussion

00:33:29.940 with Simone Biles

00:33:31.620 on this podcast,

00:33:32.760 on any other,

00:33:33.880 any setting,

00:33:34.680 really.

00:33:35.280 She could pick

00:33:35.860 the setting

00:33:36.300 to be able

00:33:38.700 to engage

00:33:39.220 in this conversation

00:33:40.000 because I think

00:33:40.600 she very blindly

00:33:41.420 advocated for this

00:33:42.360 without actually

00:33:43.000 thinking about

00:33:43.700 the effects

00:33:44.740 of what this

00:33:45.700 would look like,

00:33:46.840 how no one

00:33:47.560 would know

00:33:47.960 Simone Biles

00:33:48.640 if it weren't

00:33:50.240 for women's

00:33:51.380 gymnastics.

00:33:52.340 I mean,

00:33:52.560 gymnastics,

00:33:54.000 you look at men

00:33:54.980 and women's

00:33:55.380 gymnastics,

00:33:55.940 it's a totally

00:33:56.720 different sport,

00:33:57.660 essentially,

00:33:58.560 right?

00:33:58.820 Like,

00:33:59.400 they don't have

00:33:59.900 pommel horse

00:34:00.520 in the women's. 1.00

00:34:01.420 I think there are

00:34:02.840 certain strengths

00:34:03.560 that women possess, 0.96

00:34:04.800 maybe in terms

00:34:05.700 of like flexibility

00:34:06.860 or whatever that is,

00:34:08.520 but in terms of

00:34:09.120 strength,

00:34:09.960 sheer strength,

00:34:10.800 even look at

00:34:11.220 the men's vault

00:34:11.860 compared to

00:34:12.400 the women's vault.

00:34:13.540 Not the same,

00:34:14.680 they're not doing

00:34:15.100 the same skills

00:34:15.940 at that level

00:34:17.200 at all.

00:34:19.060 Simone knows

00:34:19.720 this,

00:34:20.200 that's why I say

00:34:20.820 I think she

00:34:21.160 blindly advocated

00:34:22.660 for this,

00:34:23.000 it sounds good,

00:34:24.360 it sounds

00:34:24.960 virtuous,

00:34:26.220 but if her

00:34:27.020 inclusive dream

00:34:27.980 was a reality,

00:34:29.400 she would have

00:34:30.080 zero gold medals,

00:34:32.040 which not that

00:34:32.640 that qualifies you,

00:34:33.800 you don't need

00:34:34.320 a gold medal

00:34:34.840 to talk about

00:34:35.860 these issues,

00:34:37.060 but it's what's

00:34:37.800 given her the

00:34:38.380 platform that she

00:34:39.060 has,

00:34:39.920 being able to

00:34:40.840 excel,

00:34:41.880 being the best

00:34:42.660 of the best,

00:34:43.480 it's why

00:34:44.420 young girls

00:34:44.860 across the

00:34:45.380 country,

00:34:46.640 again,

00:34:46.980 like my

00:34:47.320 younger sister,

00:34:47.940 look up to

00:34:48.340 her,

00:34:49.000 but I fear

00:34:50.480 she's incinerated

00:34:52.380 that reputation,

00:34:54.380 that legacy

00:34:54.980 in just two

00:34:57.100 tweets.

00:34:58.460 Anyways,

00:34:59.560 sorry for the

00:35:00.640 impromptu episode,

00:35:02.120 I was just,

00:35:03.400 I mean,

00:35:04.980 fired up about

00:35:05.660 this,

00:35:06.280 really,

00:35:06.740 like,

00:35:06.960 again,

00:35:07.140 this is someone

00:35:07.580 I've called on

00:35:08.540 to stand with

00:35:09.980 with me

00:35:10.620 and with girls

00:35:11.580 who oppose

00:35:14.280 this,

00:35:15.120 who believe

00:35:15.800 they should

00:35:16.240 call themselves,

00:35:17.060 they have the

00:35:17.520 right to call

00:35:18.640 themselves a

00:35:19.840 champion when

00:35:20.760 it makes sense,

00:35:21.640 when they work

00:35:22.360 hard enough,

00:35:23.420 when they set

00:35:24.960 their mind to

00:35:25.700 something,

00:35:26.660 but Simone Biles 0.99

00:35:27.980 has effectively

00:35:29.820 shot that

00:35:30.980 opportunity down.

00:35:32.860 We'll see

00:35:33.500 if there's a

00:35:35.020 response that we

00:35:35.920 get.

00:35:36.600 I would imagine

00:35:37.300 her PR team,

00:35:38.460 wouldn't you hate

00:35:39.220 to be Simone Biles' 0.98

00:35:40.500 PR team

00:35:41.020 this weekend

00:35:42.000 based off of,

00:35:43.820 again,

00:35:44.720 the way this is

00:35:45.600 trending on social

00:35:46.460 media.

00:35:47.160 It's like the

00:35:47.600 number one

00:35:47.960 trending thing on

00:35:48.580 X.

00:35:48.860 It has been at

00:35:49.440 this point for

00:35:50.120 over 12 hours.

00:35:51.680 Again,

00:35:51.860 the comments

00:35:52.400 that she's

00:35:52.840 receiving,

00:35:53.340 wouldn't you

00:35:53.780 hate to be

00:35:54.820 her PR team?

00:35:56.040 Last thing,

00:35:56.600 actually,

00:35:56.820 I wonder how

00:35:57.160 her husband

00:35:57.580 feels about

00:35:58.060 this.

00:35:58.900 Her husband

00:35:59.460 is an NFL

00:36:00.120 player.

00:36:01.200 I think he

00:36:01.520 plays for the

00:36:01.960 Bears.

00:36:03.060 I wonder

00:36:03.940 how he feels,

00:36:06.940 right?

00:36:07.240 Like,

00:36:08.060 he's a big

00:36:08.580 man.

00:36:09.220 Like,

00:36:09.560 tall,

00:36:10.360 strong,

00:36:11.240 large,

00:36:12.040 like many

00:36:12.640 NFL football

00:36:13.380 players,

00:36:13.980 that same

00:36:14.420 stature.

00:36:16.360 I wonder

00:36:17.100 if he agrees

00:36:18.460 if he would

00:36:18.860 want a woman 0.96

00:36:19.380 like Simone

00:36:20.620 Biles,

00:36:21.180 Simone Biles

00:36:21.660 on the football

00:36:22.180 field with

00:36:22.840 him,

00:36:23.480 him running

00:36:23.920 full speed

00:36:24.740 at her

00:36:25.180 with every

00:36:25.800 intention

00:36:26.280 to flatten

00:36:27.900 her.

00:36:28.640 I would

00:36:28.880 imagine

00:36:29.500 he wouldn't

00:36:30.560 support that.

00:36:31.420 But,

00:36:32.340 who knows

00:36:33.040 in this world

00:36:33.900 anymore?

00:36:34.740 I can't keep

00:36:35.360 up.

00:36:36.240 Nonetheless,

00:36:37.080 Simone,

00:36:37.420 if you

00:36:38.500 want to

00:36:38.640 keep

00:36:38.780 advocating

00:36:39.200 or,

00:36:40.180 I guess,

00:36:40.900 start this

00:36:41.560 new advocacy

00:36:42.440 journey of

00:36:43.620 uplifting men

00:36:44.760 and women's

00:36:45.760 sports,

00:36:46.220 stealing our

00:36:46.800 championships,

00:36:47.600 then by all

00:36:48.580 means,

00:36:49.480 do that.

00:36:50.160 It's America.

00:36:51.020 You get to

00:36:51.700 do that,

00:36:52.200 okay?

00:36:52.940 It's the beauty

00:36:53.480 of America

00:36:53.960 is you get to

00:36:54.460 do that.

00:36:54.780 But for

00:36:56.080 me,

00:36:57.040 personally,

00:36:58.200 I'm going

00:36:58.800 to keep

00:36:59.080 advocating for

00:36:59.720 girls and 0.63

00:37:00.840 for women and

00:37:01.920 for equal

00:37:02.540 opportunity and

00:37:03.460 for privacy in

00:37:04.460 areas of

00:37:04.960 undressing and

00:37:05.680 for safety in

00:37:06.960 our sports.

00:37:08.020 We'll see if

00:37:08.780 she responds to

00:37:09.640 the idea of a

00:37:10.820 discussion.

00:37:11.740 Would love that

00:37:12.640 to be able to

00:37:13.360 engage in that.

00:37:14.020 But in the

00:37:14.340 meantime, you
