| World Boxing Council Launches Transgender Category to Promote ‘Safety' for Fighters | |
| 2023-01-01 | |
| [Breitbart] The World Boxing Council (WBC) has announced a new category for transgender boxers to ensure the “safety” of competitors. WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman told The Telegraph on Thursday that the new rules will go into effect in 2023 and are meant to make sure female boxers are safe. Sulaiman added that WBC intended to ensure that “the dangers of a man fighting a woman will never happen.” “We will not allow — ever — a transgender born a man to fight a woman, who was born a woman,” he added. The WBC has added birth gender rules that maintain that males can only fight other males, and men who claim to have “transitioned” to being women can only fight other transgender women. The same will be true for female boxers who claim to be transgender males. “It is the time to do this, and we are doing this because of safety and inclusion,” Sulaiman insisted. “There should be no grey area around this, and we want to go into it with transparency and the correct decisions,” he said, opposing the idea that transgender “women” should be allowed to fight natural-born women.
Still, Sulaiman also said that transgender people “fully deserve” to join the sport of boxing if they want to do so. One of the best examples of the dangers of free-for-all fighting is seen in the case of MMA fighter Fallon Fox, who was born a man and fractured the orbital socket of a female opponent in the ring. | |

| #7 We have become so gender confused that we will now have a league of men that want to adopt feminine roles and will be demonstrating their femininity by knocking the snot out of dudes that are equally confused. This will be controversial, though, as people will argue that they are being cheated by not allowing them to beat up biological women. Others will argue for the right of biological women to exclusively be pummeled by other biological women. In the news we will be treated to stories of boxers of all categories beating up their spouses or strangers. Boxing will continue to lose market share to UFC where people are beaten up more thoroughly with fewer rules in cages. I will watch curling. |

| #6 Vaguely related, but definitely heartbreaking: I Thought My 4-Year-Old Was Transgender. I Was Wrong. We raised both our sons as gender neutral as possible, with gender neutral clothes, toys, and language. It was a mistake. |

| #5 I’m picturing Butterbean in a dress with rainbow gloves. This vitally inclusive offering will rank below the USFL on my watching hierarchy. It will be in a tie last position with the WNBA everything else in modern sports. Consider me a hater. |
