    Boxer loses fight, conservatives pretend to care about women or womens’ sports and lose their minds. Same song, different day.

    Imagine. All the horrible, tragic, and important things happening in the world and what you all choose to (pretend to) care about is the chromosomal makeup of Olympic boxers.

      Also the boxer isn’t even trans. The article says she grew up female and her parents discouraged her from getting into boxing as a kid because it was seen as a masculine sport. It seems like she only discovered she has a Y chromosome once she joined a boxing league that checked the chromosomes of boxers. The Olympics don’t have rules regarding chromosomes of athletes so she’s allowed to compete.

        people who justify men beating up women simply don’t belong in civilized society. outside of election results that beggar belief, it’s easy to just decide these shills aren’t real - like the bots we see that forget to change the language, or the paid astroturf accounts.

        OMG did you hear about project 2025? women will be men’s property? uh, no, you’re thinking of the olympics. the opening ceremony was mentall illness, this is just more of hte same.

            Anyone born with a Y chromosome is a man or intersex. He didn’t know he was a man/intersex until later in life, but that absolutely refutes “born female”, “is female”, “she’s cis”, and “woman from birth”. He should not be in women’s sports, because he is not a woman

                My comment was not long, I’m not sure why you skipped past the “or intersex” twice in it.

                I don’t know what’s in his pants. I haven’t seen anyone claim other than you that he has a vagina, but that doesn’t really matter. Intersex people can have ambiguous genitals. He is still not a woman, and should not be in women’s sports. He is free to compete in men’s sports.

          Joe Biden stepped down from the race to let someone else run, so I’m not really sure what the fuck you’re talking about. He’s not the candidate? Who are you yelling at lol you’re the one with a nearly 80 year old sex predator friend of Epstein who stored top secret documents in a bathroom as your candidate.

              Kinda like how #JoeBiden stored top secret documents in his car and garage?

              See like I said you don’t care about any of these things, you just don’t like #Trump. If you cared about these critiques, you would not have supported #JoeBiden while he was running for president.

                Biden cooperated with record requests. Why didn’t Trump? The only reason Biden was investigated was so that your side could use it as a talking point about how they are both the same when they are not.

                It is very common for some records to need to be returned during and after a presidency. It is NOT AT ALL common for presidents to refuse those requests. THAT is the difference.

        She’s not a man. Either you think everyone with XY chromosomes is a man, even if they have female genitals, or you acknowledge that neither genitals nor chromosomes alone are sufficient to define gender and you acknowledge that trans people exist as their identified gender. You don’t get it both ways.

        Sorry I forgot for a second where I was and just wasted all that energy typing out something you won’t read because your side doesn’t care about the truth.

    Woah hold on. I have been informed Angela Carini has 5 fights under her belt. How is somebody with 5 fights in the Olympics? That’s why she lost, she had no business being there. This has nothing to do with gender or sex, it was about experience and skill.

        Thank you for your input friend, but where did I say I thought men fighting women is ok?

        What I did say was that I thought for the Olympics, which is ostensibly supposed to be for elete level athletes, it makes no sense to put someone with 5 fights in their career up against someone with 50. That Italian woman was the Jamaican bobsled team of boxing.

        I think I understand your point about the testing though. Fun fact: you know who else was all about regulating people based on genetics? Rudolph Hess and the rest of the nazi crew. Hess said that Nazism was “applied biology” and what with all the people talking about biology this and biology that I see those ideas haven’t died out.

    This circles back to why we sexual sports leagues to being with.

    If a xy athlete has a statistical advantage over a xx athlete, do we care?

    If we don’t care then we setup one league regardless of genders.

    If we do care, then we segment the groups and have multiple leagues.

    the IOC is going to have to come out with a clear mission statement and define the purpose of their parallel leagues. I think there will be lots of debate as people are mixing gender identity vs chromosomes and developmental hormones. I don’t envy the IOC officials

      I feel like their plan is to just keep avoiding the discussion until something bad happens or we hit a flashpoint moment of some sort, and that’s going to be bad for everyone except the IOC because they can say they were ‘forced to take action’ and wash their hands of it.

      I hate where we’re at but I get their reasoning, I don’t see any fair solution here, they’re all unfair.

      The reason for women’s leagues is to encourage women to join and enjoy the sport. Hard to enjoy a sport when the opponents demolish you every time. Thus, women’s leagues are closed to men, but men’s leagues are open to women.
