Injustice at the Olympics: Tragic Consequences of Allowing Biological Men in Women’s Sports
Not a fan of watching men beating up women? I can’t think of any exceptions either.
However, the International Olympics Committee seems to have a different opinion. Men beating up women in a large stadium and televised worldwide? Sure, why not?
This refers to the recent boxing match in Paris between the female Italian athlete Angela Carini and an opponent named Imane Khelif.
Khelif, who has been identified as “biologically male” in the past, was disqualified from the world championships last year for high testosterone levels, more typical in males.
Despite these concerns, the IOC didn’t see an issue, which isn’t surprising at an Olympics that started with an opening ceremony featuring bearded ladies and drag queens.
For years, female athletes and activists have raised concerns about biological men participating in women’s sports across various disciplines.
These cases have received national attention, like the example of Lia Thomas, a transgender swimmer previously known as William.
Women who have spoken out against these issues have often faced backlash and hatred.
Despite their struggles, female athletes continue to see their dreams shattered, with their hard work sometimes going unrecognized.
This issue has been particularly evident in more physically demanding sports, where the advantages of biological males have become apparent.
It took time for other sports to acknowledge this reality, as seen in cases like Fallon Fox’s success in amateur women’s cage-fighting as a transgender woman born male.
Despite these challenges, a vocal minority vehemently opposes acknowledging the biology-related advantages that some transgender athletes may have.
The rewriting of history and the erasure of past identities in favor of the gender transition narrative have culminated in events like the unfair match between Angela Carini and Imane Khelif in Paris.
Angela Carini, who trained hard for years, only lasted 46 seconds in the ring against Khelif, who repeatedly struck her in the face, leaving her in pain and calling the fight unjust.
While many have expressed outrage over the incident, the IOC seems unfazed by the controversy.
As debates continue, the release of journalist Evan Gershkovich from Moscow serves as a reminder of the political games rogue regimes play with innocent hostages for political gain.
Gratitude should not be given to oppressive regimes for releasing wrongly imprisoned individuals, but rather anger at their manipulative tactics.
