USA Boxing has established a precedent with the introduction of a ‘Transgender Policy,’ which is set to come into effect in 2024.
This change in regulations will allow biological men, who have transitioned from male to female, to compete in the female category of amateur and Olympic-style boxing under a set of strict conditions.
The policy stipulates that transgender athletes intending to compete must meet the following criteria:
Minor boxers under the age of 18 must compete as their birth gender in weight classes outlined in the USA Boxing Rulebook. USA Boxing will only communicate with minors with a parent or legal guardian present.
For boxers over the age of 18, USA Boxing follows the guidance of the IOC’s 2015 Consensus Meeting decision in Chand vs Athletics Federation of India (AFI) and International Amateur Athletic Federation (IAAF) and the 2022 United States Olympic Paralympic Committee (USOPC) Medical and Scientific Discussion Pertaining to Transgender Athletes in Sport, which sites studies from the Boston Children’s Hospital Sports Medicine and Harvard Medical School Teaching Hospital. Normal range of testosterone for males is defined as more than 10 nanomoles per litre (10 namol/L) and normal range of testosterone for females is less than 3.1 nanomoles per litre (3.1 namol/L).
A boxer who transitions from male to female is eligible to compete in the female category under the following conditions:
The athlete has declared that her gender identity is female and has completed gender reassignment surgery. The athlete for a minimum of four years after surgery has had quarterly hormone testing and presents USA Boxing documentation of hormone levels. The athlete must demonstrate that her total testosterone level in serum has been below 5 nmol/L for at least 48 months prior to her first competition (with the requirement for any longer period to be based on a confidential case-by-case evaluation, considering whether or not 48 months is a sufficient length of time to minimize any advantage in women’s competition). The athlete’s total testosterone level in serum must remain below 5 nmol/L throughout the period of desired eligibility to compete in the female category.

This is just ridiculous.
unless they remove all ‘vestiges’ of maleness, they should not be allowed to compete with women.
that should ‘slow the spread’....
That’s what’s missing! Traumatic brain injuries.
Those women (the real ones) are going to be damaged.
How are they removing the “y” gene?
I think this is an absolutely boffo, kickin-good idea.
And even a man who is dickless and nutless still has advantages over an actual woman.
Sick how so many organizations have succumbed to this insane evil. At least they’ve exposed themselves.
I think a good straightforward simple policy would be, simply, that biological males must compete against biological males and biological females will compete against biological females.
It seems to me such a policy will sidestep all over the Mine Fields involved ,with all this LGBT business we are being forced to face.
Such a policy would also be nondiscriminatory. People sometimes erroneously say the transgender athletes are being banned from competing. Transgender athletes are not banned from competing. Everyone is welcome to compete against people of their own biological sex.
Sometimes I wonder if this could be the beginning of the end of women’s sports. There are reasons why we have separate men and women’s sports. Maybe those reasons are too hard for the Liberals to comprehend.
> Those women (the real ones) are going to be damaged. <
You betcha. It will be commonplace. From the link below:
“Transgender mixed martial arts (MMA) competitor Fallon Fox is facing new criticisms after breaking the eye socket of his last opponent.
“On Saturday, Fox defeated Tamikka Brents by TKO at 2:17 of the first round of their match. In addition to the damaged orbital bone that required seven staples, Brents received a concussion.”
Brain damage...
Well, They’re crazy anyway...
No woman should ever get in the ring with a man....ever...
So men are allowed to pummel women now. Hurray for feminism.
“How are they removing the “y” gene?”
Answer: nobody can remove or even modify the “Y” gene. It is lodged irrevocably in every cell of a biological male’s body, and the sheer scope of changing billions upon billions of cells, would render the change impossible to accomplish, even if the chromosome, by some strange quirk, could even be changed.
Transgender is not a real thing. It is transvestite behavior, adopting the dress and mannerisms of the opposite sex, or in extreme examples, major body mutilation and extreme hormone therapy, both of which are irreversible, and result only in creating a sterile neuter, unable to reproduce.
But maybe that is the objective. Darwin rules.
“unless they remove all ‘vestiges’ of maleness, they should not be allowed to compete with women.”
~~~~~~~
Even then, real women should not be allowed to compete with these mental
cases that are there to beat on women, unless they are at least 6 inches taller
and 40lbs or more heavier than the mental case in question.
THAT should “slow the spread” even better.
There is a reason why “men don’t hit women”.
I’ve heard it said that men (most of the time) do not take their arguments with other men past a certain point, because past that point, the fists start swinging. And (most of the time) men don’t want to get into a fist fight with another man. Bad things happen there. So, to an extent, arguments between men have something of a natural dampening effect built in. They only go so far. Except for the exceptions.
Women, on the other hand, have great confidence that a man will just never hit them. So there is no dampening effect. Women will push and push and push. They will say anything. They will be relentless. They will be in your face. Modern women have no sense of “lady-like behavior” and they will swarm all over a man. I mean — what’s he going to do?? Hit her?????
Well, looks like the gloves are coming off, so to speak.
There is one positive side, where women and fags fit in the military.
Generally speaking, they can’t physically compete with men in any arena.
In combat they register a fail.
Here we go, once again, just buying into the wokie's language! There is NO "TRANSITION". Only delusion and mutilation.
First woman injured by this policy should sue the balls off of them.
Women in the military should have their own branch, as they used to. And restricted to tasks like driving, supply, support, or the like. It started going downhill when Klinoon started “don’t ask don’t tell”. Should go back to “ask, and if the answer is wrong, out the door”.
So it’s now OK for men to brutalize women. Got it.
