Male Boxers fighting Females in the Olympics

Do females have to actually get killed in the ring to rid the sporting world of this terrifying ideology??

Any chance of explaining what you are talking about, or do I have to go off and consult google for clues?

Well I'm going to go out on a limb guess there is a trans female in the women's boxing

 

[Frankie Lee]

Is this a bit like Semenya in athletics?

 

[Paintolerance]

This is not true though is it? 2 female boxers who were banned from other competitions for high testosterone are allowed to fight. They are not men

Slightly different as she has an intersex condition and has a higher level of testosterone, she's not a transgender person

Nope. Two women who have high testosterone.

Yes I know that about Semenya. I was wondering if it was about higher testosterone like her.

(To be absolutely clear that's now directed at the OP following your info, I'm not rolling my eyes at you )

Male boxers get killed in the ring from time to time. No one ever wants to see that, but every fighter must know there's a slight risk when they step into the ring.

Surely women understand that risk when they step into the ring too?

They have XY chromosomes that’s why they’ve been banned from past tournaments.
But like one of the previous posters stated ‘surely women understand that risk’ maybe we should put them up against tigers or XL Bullies?? After all everyone accepts that sometimes boxers get killed in the ring

You're trying to be facetious. Its about choice.
Why would they want to do that? Surely no one is suggesting they have to fight men?

I'd answer that but I don't like the ignorant tone of the question

Oh is it really?

I suspect my boyfriend might be cheating on me. What should I do ? Have I come to the wrong place ?

To all the smug, complacent misogynists in this thread: I beg you, do even the most basic, cursory research into this issue before posting.

That would be far too sensible

Can’t let the facts get in the way can we ?
