Two male-born transgender boxers will be allowed to compete against women at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games sparking outrage as the question of whether it's correct to allow biological men to compete rises to the surface again.
The question has dominated recent discussions with opponents claiming it poses a risk to competitors who are female by sex whilst those in favor argue it is political persecution and that tests show there is no advantage gained.
Whilst the president of the International Boxing Association 's (IBA) claimed past tests proved the pair possess XY chromosomes (male), but the International Olympic Committee (IOC) will pay no mind as they do not have rules on transgender athletes or testosterone levels.
According to Riley Gaines, a former competitive swimmer hailing from Tennessee, this could pose a serious risk to the athletes who were born women.
"As if the Satanic display at the opening ceremony wasnt enough," Gaines posted to X.com, formerly Twitter. "The Olympics glorifies men punching women in the face with the intent of knocking them unconscious.
"Imane Khelif is 1 of 2 male boxers fighting women at the Olympics. A woman is going to die."
Gaines politically aligns with Donald Trump's Republicans and has appeared at the ex-President of the United States' rallies as well as Turning Point USA. Along with her opposition to the boxers, Gaines also tried to ban transgender athletes from competing in women's chess.

We WILL see a severe injury. It’s inevitable.
Absolute madness.
A beautiful young woman. But her peak FIDE rating was 2175, apparently. Magnus Carlson has a rating above 2800.
Also, her mother is a GM...Pia Cramling
The mother’s peak rating was 2550.
Still and all, chess is not an athletic endeavor...That was the point of this whole crap shoot....
It’s only fair if actual real women can hit below the belt if you get my drift.
Any competition in which men, as a statistical matter, outperform women has to have separate divisions for men and for women. Otherwise, women would be denied the opportunity to compete. Whether the competition is athletic or not seems to me irrelevant.
Disgusting. The real women ought to refuse to box the men.
They of course will win the medals and beat their female opponents to a pulp.
The whole premise of this thread WAS about physical, athletic FIGHTING...It had nothing to do with chess except the looney author’s comment about something that Gaines supposedly said...
Absolutely no way should men fight women or compete in any physical, athletic endeavor...PERIOD....

If a woman is killed in one of these contests, I would say it should be declared as murder. Better yet, no woman should should compete against one of these freaks.
The guy looks demon-possessed, to me. WTH are they doing letting biological males beat the hell out of biological females? This is even more surreal than it has already been.
Yep
Maybe spectators too! I haven’t looked at the rules in a long time.
