'The Quebec Boxing Federation was reportedly aware of Walmsley’s biological sex, but justified the fight by stating they had chosen an appropriate referee for the match. Ultimately, Bissonnette says her decision to withdraw came down to safety.'

Good for her. Men have no place in women's sports categories. If he's not good enough to compete in the men's category then he should just get a proper punchbag for his house. Rather than try to use a woman as one.

accusing her of “outing” him and warning that similar actions would have a negative impact on female athletes well that doesn't sound threatening/sinister at all!

If women don't let him beat them up there'll be consequences eh?
