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.

Boxing is not concerned with fairness, sportsmanship, or competition.
Someone in the high ranks thinks Trans v Woman will bring in more money or attention to women’s boxing.
I wonder what true woman is prepared to give up her life to a trans boxer to illustrate why this is so wrong?
BINGO! I’ve been saying this for years. After decades of perverted “feminism” the video games came out with women kickboxing men into submission and winning. Kids believed this fantasy and this is what we have.
That and fatherless homes have decimated western society.
RE: why not stand up and say no....
On 1960s TV shows like the Smothers Brothers and Ed Sullivan had to censor songs or skits with attacks on the John Birch Society, Vietnam War policy and other topics.
Now everyone is cowering over running afoul of woke forces.
But are all that many consumers supporting this stuff?
Example: “Gallup estimates that 7.2% of the U.S. adult population is lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. March 3, 2022.”
But every movie, ad and TV show has to promote them.
probably not. Bread and circuses. Obama 2.0
Michelle (Mike)Tyson versus Michelle (Mike) Obama fight of the century on pay per view.
On average, a biological male who has crossed pubperty as a male has a residual lifetime of biology driven physical advantages over a biological female, no matter what hormone treatments they get after that.
Every gal in the country should boycott any sports where this foolishness is allowed.
Someone’s going to get killed.
The world has gone mad.
Any woman getting in the ring to box a man is signing her own death certificate.
“unless they remove all ‘vestiges’ of maleness, they should not be allowed to compete with women.”
The new rules state the dude has to have his male parts removed if it wants to compete. That should reduce the number of guys participating in this scam.
Any legitimate female...one BORN with proper genitals should say “hell no” to this?
Got to be a way around this crap!
now 2 trannies beating the hell out of each other.. .thats a whole nother level of entertainment!
IMHO. reassignment surgery does not make a true female.
Hope the real women knock the fake out of them! Disgusting!

“🗡️For the arms of our strategies, are not carnal, but to the overthrowing of spiritual wickedness in high places....
Opposite battlefield filled with the most wicked intricate beguiling PLANNED, strategy. From Lucifer the actual kingdom reality.
the MOST ridiculous part of this is how few see the endgame of this entire charade. liberals hate contact sports of any type and they know they can’t just stop it but they can create the conditions that force unnormal conditions on those who may fear engaging in sports with deluded men who think that “just believing makes you what you believe you are”...but are not.
In America you always defer to some BS group with a big title but is really just two jokers in a garage in order to pretend is objective. That’s the “science.”
Then you make any decision that is contentious by committee. That’s the “shared responsibility.” Can’t get blamed anymore .
Finally, if you’re the federal government, you just stamp “secret” all over it and simply keep the public stupid (Covid, J6, Ukraine...), or ignore the law and don’t reply to a FOIA request without any consequence.
It’s no longer just a figure of speech to call these freaks, and especially the masses of fools who defend them, insane. About half the population is literally insane. They have lost touch with objective reality. That’s why I don’t think discussion and debate, nor even “voting” can solve the deep problems that our country now has. We’re either headed for a bloody clash, or cowardly acquiescence to the leftist agenda and oblivion as a nation.
Yup—it is the boomerang effect.
All leftists causes get so extreme they end up destroying other leftist causes.
I read an article a few months ago where a female MMA fighter said she would not fight a biological male because she fought one and said, the first time he hit her it was the hardest she had ever experienced. IIRC she said she thought she would get killed.
