It's not just boxing, it's many other sports too. There aren't many sports where men and women can compete equally, I can only think of equestrian events. So there is a reason for that and it's because the man's strength and stamina are stronger than the woman's and the competition would be unequal. So I really can't understand why it is permitted.

Perhaps a man is getting nowhere in his chosen sport so decides to transition so he can be more successful.

It's happening every day now.

How come they don't allow women who think they are men to play in the NFL?

Oh that's right - they would be knocked on their keester and hurt badly because they are still women! View attachment 39302
Women know they cannot match a male in muscle... no matter how much they try.

I rarely hear of any woman who wants to be a man. Or thinks they are.

Yep there are also trans men. Defies belief. People need to learn how to be happy in their skin.

Some people recognize the difference between Right and Wrong, some people do not.

It is a sad state of affairs when what is Wrong can demand and force what is Right to be subject to their Corruption.

Observing the Big Picture, of how quickly people “of” this World are openly, via multiple measures, and with Pride, revealing their Standing Against God.

Inasmuch as it is for man to see, is anyone wondering IF Gods Anger is waxing hot?

I would say many of those people who want to transition probably have mental health issues and transitioning will not solve their problems.

When I was in grade school I wanted to be a boy. I never thought I was one... I just want to cause of
the time Grandpap was taking my boy cousin and his dad out fishing in a row boat and I wanted to go to.

I was not allowed.

Eventually they told me the reason was because they did not want to come back to shore every time
I would need to. My cousin could just____ over the side of the boat.

I have always been a bit envious of you men and certain abilities.

Man I can't believe it actually happened. When UPenn had that swimmer we used to say, can you imagine if this happened in a sport like boxing as an analogy as to why it's wrong. I guess we underestimated how far gone we are as a society. I'm sorry for the women in women's boxing, society has failed.

I'm not sure about the NFL but I believe some sports like the NHL and MLB don't actually specify that they are a men's league. The Lightning had a female goalie (Manon Rhéaume) for a few lackluster periods of 2 preseason hockey games. However there's no women who've regularly played in either league because men are just bigger and stronger than women, it's just genetics.
When I was in grade school I wanted to be a boy. I never thought I was one
This is why I'm so against them teaching these things in elementery school. If a girl in first grade likes trucks they're going to tell her she's actually a boy? No! She's a 6 year old girl who happens to like trucks. Or her cousin takes a leak off the side of the boat and she thinks 'that's cool, I wanna be a boy' like a normal 6 year old might, and society tells her to take that thought and run with it until she's having irreversable surgeries without telling her parents.

When I was young I too wanted to be a boy because they always seemed to have the best fun. I am so glad that I wasn't taken seriously. If it was now I might have been. And I am so glad to be a woman and bear my three children as well as all the other lovely perks.

What isn't often reported in media are those who regret transitioning.

If they went so far as to have their genitalia surgically altered,the impact of regret is even greater.

The medical professionals have turned their back on their oath. Believing it is better to enable the mental illness to become more pronounced. Because seeking to help heal the affliction isn't politically correct.
It's cheaper to destroy them as opposed to helping heal them.

Inanutshell, I would say “historically” portions of adult society have had Corrupted views and acts regarding sex. And “modernly” society has introduced, crammed in the minds of young children Corrupt views and acts regarding sex is an acceptble, prideful encouraged option.

I think any male that meets the sport requirements and has survived an after-Christmas sale
elbow-to-elbow with all the other women should be allowed to fight. - LOL

The decision has been heavily criticized by boxers, with one former champion describing it as “men, basically, beating up women.”
Under the new rules, men over the age of 18 will be able to compete against women provided that they complete gender reassignment surgery, and submit to quarterly hormone testing for four years.
Isn't this the obvious outcome of allowing gender reassignment?
And don't fighters have to be in the same weight class?
It's not like they will pit some transgender gorilla against Pollyanna, right?

What do the female boxers say about this?

"It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog."

USA Boxing to allow transgender people to fight women​

The controversial ruling will allow men to compete against women, provided they’ve had surgery and hormone treatment

USA Boxing will allow men who transition to female to fight against biological women under certain conditions, the organization has stated in its 2024 rulebook. The decision has been heavily criticized by boxers, with one former champion describing it as “men, basically, beating up women.”
Under the new rules, men over the age of 18 will be able to compete against women provided that they complete gender reassignment surgery, and submit to quarterly hormone testing for four years.
It is so sad what I see happening in the world.

Yes, sad.

But inevitable as Satan runs more amok then we have ever seen in his deceptions the closer we get to Jesus' return.

I heard on the news yesterday, for those of you who wont watch it, that in CA they are going to pay and authorize Transgender operations to the illegal migrants.

So "in the world" is here and it will be to stay. Until Jesus comes or some rogue nation annihilates us all with a nuclear bomb or many.

At this point I could almost accept either as the insanity has to stop.
