Paul Peet

This is my sport, one in which I competed to a high level. So for once I have an opinion based on something close to expertise. And this is one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever seen. No woman, no matter how good for her sex she might be, should be anywhere near a boxing ring with a skilled male. Whether that male chooses to identify as a woman or has a condition that has led to them presenting as female since birth, if they carry the advantages inherent in male levels of testosterone and from the physicality that arises with XY chromosomes and male gametes, they should be NOWHERE NEAR women’s boxing. This is a sport where bad intent is part and parcel of every punch you throw. The difference between male and female is the difference between life and death. We are now quite literally sacrificing athletes on the alter of ideology. And once again we are asking women to pay the price.
