The Olympics have gone farther over the top–it has allowed a biological male to compete against women in boxing. The Daily Caller posted an article about the match.
The article reports:
A two-time Olympic gold medalist in women’s boxing called a Thursday Olympic boxing match between a biological male from Algeria and a female Italian boxer “scary.”
Angela Carini ended the match against Imane Khelif after 46 seconds following a series of hard blows to the head that left the Italian boxer with a broken nose. Claressa Shields, who won gold medals in the 2012 and 2016 Olympics, said on “America’s Newsroom” that the Olympic committees “dropped the ball.”
“I couldn’t imagine getting inside the ring with a biological man,” Shields told “America’s Newsroom” co-hosts Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino. “Even though I sparred against a man, but fighting for the Olympics is way bigger than that and so much more on the line to have to go with a opposite gender. Women fight against women and men fight against men, so, I don’t see how the Olympics could have done something like this.”
You used to be put in jail for beating a woman. Now it’s an Olympic sport. I don’t think this is a good image to show either your son or your daughter.
The article concludes:
“Listen, I don’t have anything against transgender women or transgender men,” Shields said. “All I’m saying is men should fight against men, women should fight against women and transgenders should fight against transgenders. That is how I fell, I will stand with that. I’m not homophobic or anything like that or against the gay community, but that’s not right.”
Remember way back when there was a concern about the East German women weightlifters? I guess that wouldn’t be a problem today!
