Female boxer withdraws from Canadian tournament after being told her rival was transgender with an hour’s notice, leaving her fearing for her safety:
Dr. Katia Bissonnette, from Saguenay, claims she was given just an hour’s notice she was being matched with transgender fighter Mya Walmsley last month.
The two had been due to face off in the 2023 Provincial Golden Glove Championship in Victoriaville, Quebec.
But Bissonnette withdrew at the last second after learning the identity of her opponent, resulting in Walmsley being declared the winner by default as they could not find anyone else to take her position in the same weight class.
‘Women shouldn’t have to bear the physical and psychological risks brought by a man’s decisions regarding his personal life and identity,’ Bissonnette told Reduxx. ‘There should be two categories: biological male and female.’

Smart.
The women are catching on. When you know the game is rigged, don’t play the game.
It’s been slow going with only a few women willing to make the point so far, but I think we’ll see more and more of this.
If enough women walk away they will change the rules.. That includes liberal politics.. The moment it costs them money or power (same thing) they will change their tune..
The net effect of the alphabet people is the remorseless destruction of women’s profession sports. It will be interesting to see how seriously this splits the various groups in support of women’s rights.
Maybe they should all have to fight naked. Clear up some confusion.
This needs to happen every single time. Women can’t fight men in the ring. It is insane.
There should be two categories – men’s and women’s.
And if people are willing to pay for a third, then sure, throw in another men’s category open to those with psychological disorders of sexual nature.
I’m old enough to remember when beating up on women would get you arrested. And there were names you could call men who actually enjoy doing it.
