Transgender man wins women's 100 yd and 400 yd freestyle races.

Sharron Davies has said she has faced hundreds - and that was a time when DNA was in its infancy, now it's so accurate it is practically instant.

To be clear I support anyone to live their life as they see fit and have whatever identity they like - provided it doesn't hurt anyone else. In sports, women's single sex spaces - intimate medical care, sexual assault processing, prisons etc - and others, it does hurt women and so this is where the line should be drawn by sex, not gender.

It just needs to be reintroduced ASAP.

If a few people don't like it tough, it helps ensure fairness, not wanting sex testing is like not wanting drug testing for international sports.

Whats pathetic is the Olympic movement has a huge degree of clout world wide and should be able to tell objectors to piss off and move on without issue but it seems its been gripped by gender identity nonsense aswell.

The problem is if the woman were to win (and it could very well happen) it will just embolden idiots to say "see it makes no difference, therefore biological men should be allowed if they identify as women" forgetting of course that it just means the biological male isn't a very good boxer and that loads of female boxers could beat poor quality male boxers.

So you can literally be banned for taking over the counter medicines for regular ailments in the Olympics BUT it's ok to take massive amounts of drugs to alter your "gender" to batter women.

What have I missed?

women need to stand up for themselves and stop playing along with this nonsense, men wouldnt put up with it if teams started including robots

Have you not noticed? There are women standing up for themselves, but they are painted as right wing, crazy and transphobic, even the likes of Martina navratilova and Sharron Davies.

The vast majority of people know that this is wrong. You'd be hard pressed to find someone in real life who thinks that a male athlete in any discipline should compete against a female. We all need to speak up and say no at this point.

I agree but women need to collectively boycott more things, that girl featured obviously felt compelled or even "agreed" to compete

In a way I do agree but women have trained since kids to get to an Olympics and often only get to one - I really admire our own Kellie Harrington saying she would refuse to fight but why should women step aside ??

I have been guilty of convoluted sentences on the past, but I thought that one was unambiguous. I'll reword it: some men are identifying as women in order to enter women's sports so that they can win. An open category wouldn't suit such people - in fact when they tried it in swimming nobody entered.

Based on the photos we've seen in this thread I wouldn't use the word pretending - they're not making much of an effort in that regard. That's why sports eligibility criteria need to be unambiguous- ie on the basis of sex.

Looks like Carini has pulled out after less than a minute in fight with Khelif

Never underestimate a woman's innate fear of being physically harmed by a man - a woman fighting her and Carini would be flying.

A man's wants are more important than something a woman has worked for for years.

And this is "progressive" ?

She was quite agitated from the start. I know sfa about boxing, but she took what looked like a few hard hits, took a timeout to readjust her headgear, then stopped again a few seconds later. Probably was no more than 20 seconds of boxing. She was very upset and crying after. Incidentally, the commentator on Discovery+ was feigning complete ignorance as to what was going on. The conspiracy of silence is unbelievable

Here's Sean Ingle who does know more about it:

I'd say it's a directive from the IOC to not mention it on commentary. TV footage cuts away as soon as she starts to kneel after the fight.

What's good is that they've been called out multiple times in press conferences, and the whole world is seeing this, and reading about it on social media.

Their are people who call themselves as progressives and kind.

They are cheering on a man beating up a women.

If it happened outside a ring he would be in jail.

It must take some mental gymnastics to perceive yourself as nice while cheering on the destruction of female sports.

How has the Olympics got to the stage where a man is battering a women live on tv.

What a great promotion for women's boxing to young girls and how to treat women for young boys.
