I'm posting this as a new thread as it is more a resource than a discussion, and so thought those who want to can take bits from it to post as part of the many threads on FWR about.

And it may all be about who gets control of the 1028 Olympics. Angry

Thank you for that! I feel like I’ve been going mad seeing all the gaslighting posts supporting these boxers, reprimanding anyone with an issue as “your bigoted uncle”. I knew it couldn’t have been utterly baseless and based on their looks as people have been suggesting. Thankful for from clarity at last.

Thank you, that clarifies a number of points.

I hadn’t realised control of the female category in all sports is down to the relevant governing bodies, and that because Olympic boxing doesn’t currently have one recognised by the IOC, the IOC is deciding the gender rules for it. It’s utterly shocking that in boxing, of all sports, there is no control over who enters the female competition.

I think what I find more shocking is not just that there’s some void and no one has made a rule, but that the IOC has made a rule and it’s… what’s on a passport. Because no one’s ever tried to cheat or find loopholes in the Olympics before right? The fact they think that is an appropriate ‘rule’ shows their utter disregard for women’s safety and the integrity of female sport.

I guess we should be thankful they have outsourced the decision to individual sports if the IOC’s critical thinking skills are so utterly non-existent.

Thank you for sharing this, it’s been updated since I first saw it. It’s such a thorough and useful thread.

This is great.
Rather than bothering to argue with disinformation spreaders this should be posted in reply to every single one.
Very glad she has done it and thanks for posting.
