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.

@ImplyingImplications @originalfrozenbanana

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.
