The Paris Olympics has shown us everything that has gone wrong in a culture which has rejected God. First it was the mocking of religion and the promotion of drag queens and transgenderism. Now it's the consequences of gender ideology. Our secular culture is on full display for all to see.

WHEN IDEOLOGY OVERRIDES BIOLOGY, WOMEN GET HURT

Everyone awoke this morning to these images and accompanying media reports. As DailyWire reports:

After Italian boxer Angela Carini was powerfully punched twice by an Algerian boxer in the Paris Olympics who had previously been barred from fighting women, she stopped her bout 46 seconds in and broke down in tears, saying she had never been hit so hard.

Carini, 25, was fighting Algerian Imane Khelif, who was disqualified from the women’s World Championship in 2023 after failing testosterone and gender eligibility tests. International Amateur Boxing President Umar Kremlev asserted that DNA tests had “proved they had XY chromosomes and were thus excluded.”

Carini said. “I am heartbroken,” “I went to the ring to honour my father. I was told a lot of times that I was a warrior but I preferred to stop for my health. I have never felt a punch like this. …  I got into the ring to fight. I didn’t give up, but one punch hurt too much and so I said enough. I’m going out with my head held high.”

The International Olympic Committee got this completely wrong. They ignored biology.

(It’s not the first thing they have got wrong, of course!)

The IOC came out with this statement

Every person has the right to practise sport without discrimination.

But does a woman have the right to practice sport only against other women?

All athletes participating in the boxing tournament of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 comply with the competition’s eligibility and entry regulations, as well as all applicable medical regulations set by the Paris 2024 Boxing Unit (PBU) (please find all applicable rules here). As with previous Olympic boxing competitions, the gender and age of the athletes are based on their passport.

Well there’s the first problem. You can have X on some passports so which division are they in? And based on birth certificates in NZ which are now nonsensical, you can identify as whatever you want irrespective of chromosomes and biology. Its simply based on how you identify. But the birth certificate then becomes the basis of the passport.

There is definitely nuances around this case in that its possibly not a clear-cut male to female switch although this nuance would have existed for every Olympics thats been. And it hasn’t become the problem weve seen.

But what is clear is that some sporting authorities refuse to base their regulations on biology. Theyve become woke in the name of DEI diversity equity and inclusion and its harming women, ironically.

Eligibility rules should not be changed during ongoing competition, and any rule change must follow appropriate processes and should be based on scientific evidence. The IOC is committed to protecting the human rights of all athletes participating in the Olympic Games as per the Olympic Charter, the IOC Code of Ethics and the IOC Strategic Framework on Human Rights.

Once again it only seems to be the rights of the non-women wanting to compete against women.

The IOC is saddened by the abuse that the two athletes are currently receiving. The IBA’s recognition was withdrawn by the IOC in 2023 following its suspension in 2019. The withdrawal of recognition was confirmed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). See the IOC’s statement following the ruling.

The IOC has made it clear that it needs National Boxing Federations to reach a consensus around a new International Federation in order for boxing to be included on the sports programme of the Olympic Games LA28.

Well they’re right on that last bit. It should be based on biology to remove all of these idiot-syncracies (if there’s such a word!)

The International Boxing Association put out a statement saying

On 24 March 2023, IBA disqualified athletes Lin Yu-ting and Imane Khelif from the IBA Women’s World Boxing Championships New Delhi 2023. This disqualification was a result of their failure to meet the eligibility criteria for participating in the women’s competition, as set and laid out in the IBA Regulations. This decision, made after a meticulous review, was extremely important and necessary to uphold the level of fairness and utmost integrity of the competition.

Point to note, the athletes did not undergo a testosterone examination but were subject to a separate and recognized test, whereby the specifics remain confidential. This test conclusively indicated that both athletes did not meet the required necessary eligibility criteria and were found to have competitive advantages over other female competitors.

The decision made by IBA on 24 March 2023, was subsequently ratified by the IBA Board of Directors on 25 March 2023. The official record of this decision can be accessed on the IBA website here IBA Board of Directors Meeting Minutes.

The disqualification was based on two tests conducted on both athletes as follows:

Test performed during the IBA Women’s World Boxing Championships in Istanbul 2022.
Test performed during the IBA Women’s World Boxing Championships in New Delhi 2023.

For clarification

Lin Yu-ting did not appeal the IBA’s decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), thus rendering the decision legally binding.
Imane Khelif initially appealed the decision to CAS but withdrew the appeal during the process, also making the IBA decision legally binding.

Our committees have rigorously reviewed and endorsed the decision made during the World Championships. While IBA remains committed to ensuring competitive fairness in all of our events, we express concern over the inconsistent application of eligibility criteria by other sporting organizations, including those overseeing the Olympic Games. The IOC’s differing regulations on these matters, in which IBA is not involved, raise serious questions about both competitive fairness and athletes’ safety.

For clarification on why the IOC permits athletes with competitive advantages to compete in their events, we urge interested parties to seek answers directly from the IOC.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said:

“I think that athletes who have male genetic characteristics should not be admitted to women’s competitions. And not because you want to discriminate against someone, but to protect the right of female athletes to be able to compete on equal terms.  I was emotional yesterday when she wrote ‘I will fight’ because the dedication, the head, the character, surely also play a role in these things. But then it also matters to be able to compete on equal grounds and from my point of view it was not an even contest.”

But it’s happened in other sports.

Riley Gaines is a 12 time All-American swimmer with 5 SEC titles and was a successful female swimmer at University of Kentucky with ambitions to pursue a dental degree. That post-graduate ambition and her entire life was changed when she was forced to share a locker room and then compete against biological male Lia Thomas at the 2022 NCAA Women’s Swimming Championship. She says biological men should not take opportunities for success in sports away from women. Biological men should not share locker rooms with women.

Deborah Acason (nee Lovely) is arguably Australia’s most accomplished female weightlifter. She is a two time Olympian at Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008, a five time Commonwealth Games representative and medallist, and a seven time World Championship representative. Deborah was the first women inducted into the Australian Weightlifting Federation Hall of Fame. She experienced the unfairness of being forced to compete against a male in the female category at the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games – a NZer! She has more recently been speaking on the topic of ‘transgender’ athletes.

DON’T LET THIS HAPPEN IN NEW ZEALAND TO WOMEN. 

Not in our sports, not in our toilets and changing rooms, not in our schools, not anywhere.

We are planning on submitting our petition to force the issue on our politicians. If you haven’t signed the petition yet, could you sign it. Please do it now!
