The IOC must listen to the science and female athletes and keep men out of women’s sports
The backlash to gender extremism continues: More than 40,000 athletes, women and activists have signed a petition for the International Olympic Committee to keep biological men out of women’s sports.
The petition notes that “governments and organizational bodies like the IOC have adopted policies that allow males who identify as female to compete in women’s sports.”
Indeed, the Paris Olympics just saw two boxers, Imane Khelif of Algeria and Lin Yu-ting of Taiwan, win gold medals in women’s boxing — despite having been previously disqualified on gender grounds.
IOC prez Thomas Bach voiced support for them, which makes IOC leadership more extreme-left than the United Nations on the issue.
Yes: It was Reem Alsalem, the UN special rapporteur on violence against women and girls, who released the report that women have lost close to 900 medals across 29 different sports to biological males.
It’s obscene that this even needs to be discussed: All available scientific evidence shows clearly that men enjoy massive strength and size advantages over women.
That’s true even at the high school and college level: UPenn’s Lia Thomas was an utter mediocrity competing in the men’s swimming division, only to win a national championship when competing against women.
That’s all the evidence any sane person would need.
Happily, one challenger to replace Bach at the IOC, Sebastian Coe — a legendary runner and a gold medalist for his native England — has made it very clear where he stands.
He’s promised to introduce an “uncompromising and clearcut” policy to save women’s sports from the gender jihadists if elected in March.
Given the turn away from gender radicalism seen across Europe, Coe looks to have a shot — a good one, if petition is any indication.
His victory would represent a major win for women and girls everywhere — and for sanity over ideology.
Everyone not totally brainwormed by gender madness should sign the IOC petition, now, and keep the heat on ’til reality triumphs.
