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.

STRICT CONDITIONS
#1. Please do not kill your opponent.
The only thing that makes sense is that they are trying to permanently kill women’s sports because they aren’t making enough profit.
Men have upper body strength that women do not have.......that’s why they always win.
Is there anyone still in their right mind around the US?
Outside this forum.
Non transitioning men should also be allowed to compete in all sports. The hell with womens’ sports. They invited this. Let them enjoy the consequences.
No. Because USA is now a matriarchy. (Tucker Carlson's words, not mine)
Yeah, they’ve come a long way, baby.

Mike (Michelle) Tyson is making a comeback. It’s gonna see some epic knockouts.
"You go girl. You're a boss babe."
Now have them all sign up for Selective Service.
Despite transitioning the man will retain greater muscle mass, speed, and a superior and stronger bone structure.
This will cause death and or severe unrecoverable injury to some real women. This insanity will not end until “real women” refuse to compete against men calling themselves women. It should be noted that openly gay Martina Navratilova the female tennis great is very much against women competing with men that call themselves women. She acknowledges that they are superior in sports and it is an unfair competition. I admire her openness and honesty.
Women have some aspects that are superior to men but it is not athletics. We complement each other to make a whole.
Ahead of her time. Note: Samantha Fox who had several hit singles in the 1980s after being a Page 3 British celebrity,
came out as a lesbian. Teenage boys were heartbroken.

No woman, transgender or otherwise, should enter a ring. Period.
That isn’t boxing it’s abuse a new trend is taking hold what next lions 3 women 0 Rome is back in business.
Yeah, nothing could possibly go wrong.
I hate to be morbid, but ONE tyranny kills a female in the ring and maybe the insanity will stop.
Ruling legalizes attempted bodily harm by a fighter.
Well I know who I’ll be betting on to win
Agree, but your solution makes too much sense for the insane asylum this country has become.
Does this mean Mike Tyson will compete in a dress?
Is there anyone still in their right mind around the US?
Outside this forum.
Apparently not. Every organization and institution of any kind, such as in this case the world of boxing, feels the need to kowtow to the activists who are pushing all this LGBT stuff.
Why they feel the need to kowtow is a good question. Why can’t they just say, men compete against men, women against women, and if you like to play dress up as a woman, that has nothing to do with your competing in a boxing competition.
I’ll state my position simply. A free adult should be free to do and be what they chose as long as they cause no harm to others. A biological male will usually have an competitive advantage over a biological female. A biological male who styles himself as a woman and competes against biological females in woman’s sporting events is cheating and is causing harm to female competitors.
