Two men will be cheered on this week as they beat up women for sport on live television.

Read that again. Two males, sanctioned by the Olympic committee, will punch women for sport and it will be televised around the world.  

The two male boxers were previously banned from world female championships because they are male. That fact seems irrelevant to the Olympic committee.

Imane Khelif, of Algeria, and Lin Yu-Ting, of Taiwan, were both excluded for being male. Now they are being included in the women’s Olympic competition because they meet the ‘criteria’.

Both competitors have XY chromosomes and high testosterone levels.

Mexico’s Brianda Tamara fought Khelif previously and has shared her experience.

‘When I fought with her I felt very out of my depth,’ she wrote on X. ‘Her blows hurt me a lot, I don’t think I had ever felt like that in my 13 years as a boxer, nor in my sparring with men. Thank God that day I got out of the ring safely, and it’s good that they finally realized.’

Khelif, a welterweight, is due to fight Italy’s Angela Carini on Thursday, with Yu-Ting, a featherweight, in action on Friday.

Nancy Hogshead, a former Olympic Gold medallist wrote on X: ‘Imane Khelif of Algeria and Lin Yu-Ting of Taiwan are scheduled to compete in women’s Olympic boxing – despite being disqualified last year for having XY chromosomes, the male phenotype. Let’s remind ourselves that males – however they identify – pack a punch that is 162 per cent more powerful than women – THE biggest performance gap between men and women. Gender ideology will get women KILLED.’

One X user added: ‘Men punching women is now officially an Olympic sport’.

An IOC spokesperson said: ‘All athletes participating in the boxing tournament comply with the competition’s eligibility and entry regulations, as well as all applicable medical regulations, in accordance with the Paris 2024 Boxing Unit.’

This is an absolute disgrace. 

It makes a mockery of women by disregarding the fact there are separate biological divisions for a reason, and puts female competitors at greater risk of injury or even death. 

Spectators who think this is a good thing are just as bad as the officials who are permitting it in the first place.
