The former college swimmer had an opposing view to the seven-time Olympic gold medalist on trans athletes competing in women’s sports.
Biles told Gaines to “bully someone your own size” after she tweeted about a Minnesota high school softball player.
The gymnast added, “Which ironically would be a male.”
Biles later apologized for her “personal” remarks towards Gaines.
But the swimmer used her words to announce that she was pregnant.
Gaines was speaking at a Turning Point USA conference in Dallas, Texas.
She said, “I think the funniest thing to me is her saying ‘bully someone your own size which would ironically be a man’.
“How many men do you know that have this?” Gaines added before revealing a baby bump.
She received huge cheers from fans in the audience for her speech.
And Gaines spoke about her “obligation” after revealing the baby news.
“I feel this baby, this young girl kicking around in my stomach when I’m lying down to sleep at night,” she said.
“I see the baby’s tiny little hands, her tiny little feet on the ultrasound.
“I listen to her heartbeat.
“That reality, that undeniable humanity that’s growing inside of me has taken my beliefs I’ve always had.
“From a sense of intellectual and moral beliefs to I feel this immovable obligation to defend the right to life.”
Gaines’ feud with Biles began when she posted on X about Minnesota high school girl’s softball.
She claimed that comments were turned off a post celebrating a victory because the star player was a transgender.
Biles hit out at Gaines for the tweet, which led to a bitter exchange.
Both women accused the other of being a bully.
And Gaines pulled up tweets that Biles sent from 2017.
