Calling it “disgraceful,” former Canadian national women’s boxing coach Peter Wylie would like to say he was shocked to see a biological male in the ring against a female opponent.
But he wasn’t.
The former Toronto cop and founder of the Cabbagetown Boxing Club, which has sent competitors to the Olympics, has seen firsthand such thirst for a medal no matter how it is won.
“I personally have been at international competitions where coaches from several European countries have told me they manipulate documents to fit any situation including birth certificates,” the national women’s team coach from 2003 to 2007 told the Toronto Sun. “I knew the IOC (International Olympic Committee) were corrupt, but this shows they have little or no regard for the safety of the women in the Olympic boxing events.”
And that reality was not only on full display for the world to see and cringe over. It was painful to watch Italian boxer Angela Carini stopped her fight against Algeria’s Imane Khelif in just 46 seconds.
“This is highly dangerous for the sport of boxing,” said Wylie. “In almost all cases where the sport requires strength, power, scientific studies have shown biological male athletes are simply too strong for their counterpart biological females. One recent study out of the University of Utah showed that males were 65% stronger compared to their female counterparts.”
Khelif is one of two boxers permitted to fight at the Olympics despite being disqualified from the women’s world championships last year for failing testosterone and gender eligibility tests. You would think that would have been the end of it. But not in an Olympics where the opening ceremony celebrating France’s inclusivity with drag performances and what was considered by many to be a disrespectful mocking of Christ’s Last Supper.
But a boxing ring is a different kind of stage. One where you can die.
“The Algerian Federation for Boxing and the Algerian male boxer are shameless in their goal for a medal which is tarnished in any case,” said Wylie.
Many agree. The outrage is universal.
Olympic legend and transgender trailblazer Caitlyn Jenner, who won the decathlon gold in Montreal in 1976 as Bruce Jenner, called watching “women beat the hell out of by men” as “shameful.”
“There are several male athletes (boxers and soccer players) competing as women and IOC media is OK with it.” tennis legend Martina Navratilova posted to her X account. “They were not born female. The DNA says male. This is not anti trans at all – it’s only trying to keep women’s category female. Get it now?”
Outspoken on transgender athletes competing against women competitors, former swimmer Riley Gaines posted to X, “Call me crazy, but it’s almost as if women don’t want to be punched in the face by a male as the world watches and applauds. This is glorified male violence against women.”
Former U.S. President Donald Trump posted to Truth Social that “I will keep men out of women’s sports.”
Boxing star Jake Paul posted a message addressed to Carini: “Although your dreams couldn’t come true today because of the crazy agendas that are at play in our world at the moment, I would love to offer you to fight on a MVP undercard” against a female opponent.
And Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni shared words of support for Carini on social media.
“I know you won’t give up, Angela, and I know that one day you will earn with effort and sweat what you deserve,” she wrote, according to a translation. “In a finally fair competition.”
The whole thing is madness.
We have seen the transgender agenda being promoted in the GTA in recent years from the male high school teacher with prosthetic breasts, to a male in swimming competitions against young girls to a transitioning man playing women’s rugby.In every case those criticizing it were the ones lambasted and called transphobic.
But the sight of a woman, who earned her spot in the Olympics fair and square, being forced to concede after not being able to take a man’s punch has galvanized critics. In the case of the Paris Olympics, there are two boxers who failed gender tests and were banned from precious international competitors but re-instated by the woke Olympics officials who have shown they will put their agenda over the health and safety of women.
“The world body for boxing, the AIBA, stopped this boxer and the other male boxer from Taipei from competing in the international competitions because they have male chromosomes/testosterone levels,” said Wylie. “This is a disgraceful overstep by the IOC. They are allowing these two male boxers to compete because they have passports that say they are female.”
Wylie, who has trained both male and female fighters, says his experience tells him “biological male athletes are simply too strong for their counterpart biological females.”
He has written a letter to the IOC on this matter and encourages the public and participants to do the same.
“It falls on the coaches, boxers at the Olympics to do something about it,” said Wylie. “Unfortunately, they will not because they want a medal so bad and won’t because the IOC will disqualify them from their dreams. This should have been headed off before the competitions started by a boycott by the athletes and it would have never got started in my opinion.”
Wylie said there is one obvious solution and it’s not bowing down to the politically correct.
“It has to stop,” said Wylie.
Before a woman is killed.
