Female Columnist Angry With 2024 Olympics

The Olympic boxing schedule has been great so far but there’s been a real backlash online to one part of it.

Two boxers who were allegedly banned by the IBA in 2023 (according to the International Boxing Association) for having XY Chromosomes so the IBA have claimed — have been then allowed compete in this year’s Olympics by the IOC.

A prominent female writer as well as members of the world of sport have lashed out to it online on the X app it would appear:

Allowing trans-identified males to punch the shit out of female boxers is just professional domestic violence with a cheering crowd.#OlympicGames #Paris2024 #GenderIdeology #Wokeism pic.twitter.com/OmzlXVurSQ

Tomorrow, two men will be allowed to punch women in the name of boxing, the Olympics, ‘sport’ & ‘fair play’.

I sincerely hope this peaks the entire world.

If you’re cheering this on, shame on you.

Two biological men who were disqualified from the Women’s World Boxing Championships are being allowed to compete at the Olympics.

That means two biological women were denied a spot at the Olympics because of them.

Shame on them.
Shame on their home nations.
Shame on the IOC. pic.twitter.com/oZ9UDNc0dX

That’s a lot of controversy indeed.

Sky News have even gotten involved with their coverage it would seem:

Stephen A. Smith of ESPN also has given his take on the topic in general, separate from the Olympics:
