Female boxer yells 'this is unjust' and falls to her knees in tears as she quits fight against 'biologically male' Olympic opponent Imane Khelif after just 46 SECONDS following two powerful punches

A boxer deemed a 'biological male' today won against an Italian woman in one of the most controversial Olympic bouts ever.

The fight between Italy's Angela Carini and her Algerian opponent Imane Khelif took just 46 seconds, with the Italian throwing her helmet onto the floor as the clash was abandoned, yelling: 'This is unjust.'

The 25-year-old refused the handshake and fell to the canvas sobbing having received just two punches from Khelif - who had been banned from a major boxing contest before the Olympics.

Khelif was thrown out of last year's world championships after failing testosterone tests carried out to establish gender qualification.

After the match was stopped, the referee raised Khelif's hand in the air. But a visibly furious Carini yanked her own hand away from the fight official and walked off.

Ignoring the Algerian, the Italian fighter then plunged to her knees and burst into tears as she said she had never felt such strong blows in a contest before.

Speaking after the match, the heartbroken Italian said: 'I'm used to suffering. I've never taken a punch like that, it's impossible to continue. I'm nobody to say it's illegal.

'I got into the ring to fight. But I didn't feel like it anymore after the first minute. I started to feel a strong pain in my nose. I didn't give up, but a punch hurt too much and so I said enough. I'm leaving with my head held high.'

Apparently, men punching women is the hot new olympic sport.

I don’t blame her for testing the waters.

I remember watching GI Jane (a movie) with my daughter when she was young. They had a never-ending fight scene where Demi Moore held her own vs. Viggo Mortensen. I was skeptical, but she believed it. I hope she knows better by now.

I remember a woman sportscaster asking Serena Williams if she was going to compete against the men. Serena wisely remained silent.

My point is that young women may think they can compete against athletic men. After a couple of punches, she knew better.

I’m glad it happened. I’m glad the whole world gets to choke on their own stupidity and I hope they enjoy it. It’s the mess they’ve made, now live with it.

I don’t disagree. But it is very sad.

“If the “individuals” in question are producing greater than trace amounts of testosterone then they have an innate distinct advantage over unafflicted females and thus should be barred from competition.”

It should be measurable. No different than taking drugs to me.

They already do.

Every child in the US born in a hospital is typically tested for congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) because it can be potentially life threatening.

My child has NCCAH (Non-Classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia aka Late-Onset CAH) which manifests during puberty. It’s a recessive genetic disorder that only manifests when both parents are carriers; otherwise, people can live their whole lives not knowing they have it.

It plays havoc on the endocrine system. In the case of my middle child, it caused precocious menarche, hyperandrogenism, and gender dysphonia. A small fraction of people with this rare disorder will experience gender dysphoria and it usually subsides by the time puberty finally ends. For those who don’t, they will be dysphoric for life.

My youngest son was also diagnosed with NCCAH. For him, it caused premature bone maturation and sterility.

In the case of my middle child, her body was producing an extremely high level of free floating adrenal androgens (the precursor for estrogen, testosterone, etc.). The adrenal receptors in her brain were recognizing these FFAAs as testosterone and programmed her body to develop accordingly. Masculine jawline, body hair, facial hair, musculature, voice dropped, all without outside interference. It happened naturally.

The gender dysphoria did not recede. She is 24 now and were you to meet her, you would think she is a polite and smart young man. She chose to embrace what was happening and now presents as a man.

The reason transgender was not a “thing” is because it is extremely rare. It is statistically impossible for there to be a trans person behind every bush. These people are pretenders, victims of social conditioning, or mentally ill.

But for a tiny portion of the population, God made them that way. Hard for a lot of FFReepers to believe or understand, but not every trans person is a groomer, pedo, was raised in an abusive household, etc.

In the case of this athlete, they should be boxing with the men.

I saw his “fight” against the Mexican woman. It was brutal. Everything about him is bigger. Muscles, skeleton, his lungs.... There is no way this tranny freak should be allowed to compete with women. Any other competitors need to just refuse to get in the ring with him. If they don’t, give a few low blows and let him explain why it hurts so much.

Got it. Just wanted to confirm this is NOT a trans person. So I don’t understand all the hate directed at her/him.

You have my sympathy. I think our educational system should cover these genetic situations and encourage empathy towards people who are TRULY “born that way.”

If society would admit that women are physically inferior to men, then women can have their own leagues. But as long as we’re told women are equal to men, you have to let men compete in female sports. The brainless bimbos have brought this on themselves with all their equality talk.

Physically weaker, but not necessarily physically inferior. There are other physical characteristics, besides strength, such as flexibility and endurance. There is also the capability of carrying and delivering a baby.

“ Democrats are evil scum.”

Western Civilization has taken the greatest evil perversion ever seen in history and industrialized it. Reason enough by itself to long for the complete destruction of the perfidious West.
