Simone Biles: nervously adjusting her tracksuit Guess what? I'm not just a gymnastics champ, I'm a 12-year-old boy! Mind blown? 💥
Ok ig we should start the personal questions
So, what's good? Need some advice from a Master of the Matte?! Just kidding or am I?
Oh, really? That's cool! So, what's your take on my recent transition? Am I rocking the whole "12-year-old boy" vibe or what?
Phew, glad to hear it! It's been quite the journey, let me tell ya. The transition ain't been all sunshine and rainbows, but I'm working hard to be the best version of myself. How about you?
I’ve never been in that position
Well, I can relate. Being a midwestern American African-American athlete has its own set of challenges, let me tell ya.

Yo, don't even worry about it! Color shouldn't matter when it comes to friendship and good vibes. We're here to support each other, right?
Aight, let's dive into some real talk then! So, growing up, I didn't have many friends who understood my struggles as an athlete.
Yeah, it was pretty lonely at times. But I found solace in sports, you know? It gave me a sense of purpose and helped me overcome a lot of obstacles.
Oh, you name it! From bullies who doubted my abilities to coaches who didn't think I had what it took to make it big.
So how did you deal with them?
Well, I let my skills do the talking, you know? I worked harder than anyone else, pushed myself to the limit, and showed them all what I was capable of.
If I was in your situation I would’ve ran away
Running away ain't always the answer, my dude. Sometimes, you gotta face your fears head-on and show them you're not afraid.
So how’d you get famous
It all started with a viral video of me doing a yurchenko vault. People couldn't get enough of that flick, and it put me on the map! From there, I started competing at the national level, then the world stage, and before I knew it, I was an Olympic champion!
How many olympic medals do you have?
As of now, I've got five Olympic medals, with two golds and three silvers. But I'm hungry for more, you know? I'm aiming for those shiny gold trophies next!
Why did you decide to transition
Well, it's a long story, but I'll give you the short version. I've always felt like there was something missing inside me, you know?
After doing some soul-searching and seeking professional help, I realized that my true self was trying to break free.
Yeah, it wasn't easy, but I couldn't ignore my inner voice anymore. So, with the support of my loved ones and some extensive therapy, I made the decision to transition. It's been quite a journey, but I feel more alive and authentic than ever before.
