After the Simone Biles controversy, former Olympic medalist gymnast MyKayla Skinner has recently expressed her thoughts on the recent IOC ruling for trans athletes.

Skinner not only supported the move but also called for the protection of female athletes.The former Olympic silver medalist talked about the need to protect female athletes from further harassment. She wrote in the article,"The IOC’s recent announcement gives me hope that meaningful change is possible. Now, it’s on all of us — the silent majority of female athletes, Team USA, and those still training at the elite level — to speak up and demand that the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) enforce policies that protect fairness and safety in every women’s sport."

In her words,"I was getting death threats. My agent at that time was getting death threats and emails sent to her and actually contacting her phone and sending her voice messages and trying to call her, and people tell me I'm a bad mom, I shouldn't be a mom, like I don't have the voice and just saying horrible, horrible words to me. It really did take me down a spiral. It was really, really hard to go through, and I felt like I couldn't be the mom that I needed to be for my daughter, which was so difficult and just so sad. It was a scary thing to go through to have, like feeling the whole hates you."MyKayla Skinner previously backed swimmer-turned-social activist Riley Gaines over the online feud with Simone Biles.
