A recent social media clash between Olympic gymnast Simone Biles and women’s sports advocate Riley Gaines erupted a firestorm of backlash, primarily against Biles.
Wow. @Simone_Biles is a giant piece of trash.
She thinks boys should play in girls sports and calls out @Riley_Gaines_ for defending girls. pic.twitter.com/NGf6wsPtMn

Gaines began speaking out against allowing biological males to compete on teams meant for girls and women after she was forced to share a locker room with a male competitor who identified as transgender.
Amid the mounting criticism of her personal attacks on Gaines, Biles has apparently taken down her X account entirely, based on multiple screenshots showing that the profile was no longer visible.
