I objected to this match on Twitter last week and my employers are now getting repeated messages lobbying to have me sacked. I said nothing transphobic, my objection was to a woman unfairly getting battered on a world stage. It’s the first time I’ve voiced an opinion on all this as I’ve been scared of the backlash. Believe me, it’s real. I’m terrified how far they’ll go. No wonder women don’t speak out. Thank you to those who do.
Well, the Washington Post gave me a punitive 36-hour ban from their comments. I'm quite sure it was because I was too strident when I informed readers that both "women" boxers have XY chromosomes.
The gender critical side needs to do a better job in such situations of marshaling the facts and making a persuasive case why the individual is male. The pieces by GC writers seemed a bit nebulous.
