Gonna say something controversial and with the fact that i've many trans friends in real life, but men who have transitioned to women, really shouldnt be allowed take part in competitions like boxing. It's completely wrong.

the logical step to deactivate this as a cultural bomb being exploited by so many,
just set up trans categories. let trans people compete against other trans people. it's that simple..

Yeah but that’s also kinda tricky. It’s one of those situations we’re everyone is going to complain I guess
But yes, I would agree with that

oh i know. And i'm onboard and a trans ally for 99% of it and against the endless onslaught and threats they get every single day. But something like this, at the olympics of all places.. doesnt help the trans cause at all. Quite the opposite.
I'm not getting into this specific fight, apparently there's loads of previous with the fighter involved and the IOC seem to have turned a blind eye to it, probably not wanting to get hung out to dry over it as they would be no matter what they decided. But it's all wrong.

There’s the strength difference in the second clip.
Same weight category doesn’t equate to same strength. It’s wrong.

Could probably say that about tennis as well. Basically all of the big pro sports around the world? Hockey?
Maybe they should make Formula 1 an olympic event.

It's my understanding that the boxer isn't trans, but some kind of intersex? I don't know what you do about these sort of rare edge cases except ban them from women's sports, but that's always gonna be a problem regardless of banning trans athletes from women's competition. It's not as if Albania or wherever is big on trans people.
