Check out the story, Dave...
Of trans boxer, Patricio Manuel!
He’s been booed every time he wins a boxing match...
Mostly from men, whose male virility is apparently offended by the fact that their "man" got defeated by a trans athlete!
Unfortunately, Manuel's career has been short-ended due to the fact that, although he fulfills the boxing commissions requirements for trans boxers… cis boxers often refuse to get in the ring with him!
Hmmm… I wonder why!
An interesting side note;
In the history of boxing, there was racial discrimination against black fighters, with heavyweight champion, John Sullivan declaring in 1892, "I will not fight a [knee.. grow]. I never have and never shall."
And, he retained his title not by skill alone... but by ducking competitive matches with opponents of color... a strategy later described as white fighters hiding behind "that cowardly protection, the color line."
Rather than suffer that stigma…
Sullivan proposed a solution… a system of segregation…
"Let [knee.. grows] meet [knee.. grows], and whites meet whites," he said.
We all know how THAT turned out!
Echoing that sentiment today regarding trans fighters, podcast host, Joe Rogan has suggested a similar policy. "Fight trans people," he said. "The simple solution is: compete against other trans people."
Or, in effect, let cis fighters hide behind “that cowardly protection”… of a trans line!
Because Lord only knows...
A REAL man certainly never wants to get beaten by... A Woman!
