Female skateboarder Taylor Silverman expressed concern over the inclusion of transgender athletes in women’s boxing, emphasizing safety and fairness.
She criticized the new guidelines, arguing that allowing biological males to compete in women’s sports poses risks and disadvantages for female athletes.
Silverman and other athletes, including boxing champions, voiced opposition to the new rules, highlighting the potential impact on women’s sports. (Trending: Trump Defies Court And Delivers Closing Argument At Civil Fraud Trial)
“I don’t understand how some people view this as progressive. It’s absolutely ridiculous,” Silverman said.
“I think even small children understand that boys and men should not be hitting girls and women. It’s really simple.”
“It really scared me for the women who are boxing,” she said.
“Not only is this an issue of them not being able to get the recognition they deserve, not being able to succeed no matter how hard they work, it’s also an issue of safety.”
“I think if this continues, it’s only a matter of time before a woman gets killed, because men and women are not the same.”
“Now we’re entering the territory of combat sports where people are physically hitting each other, attacking each other,” she said. “Unfortunately, I think if this continues, it’s only a matter of time before a woman gets killed, because men and women are not the same.”
“The people who want men to compete in women’s sports, they don’t want any restrictions whatsoever,” she said. “They want somebody to just be able to show up and say, ‘I identify this way, I feel this way, so let me do what I want.’”
“I don’t care about ‘political correctness,’” boxing champion Ebanie Bridges wrote. “It’s politically incorrect to have a man fighting a woman.”
“The girls need to stick together or women’s sports in 50 years will be filled with male-born champions,” she said.
Silverman hopes that speaking out will inspire others to advocate for fairness and safety in women’s athletics.
“In the beginning, it was incredibly scary to speak out because nobody else was,” Silverman said. “But if we stay silent, it’s like we’re going along with it,” Silverman said.
“That was one of the things that made me speak up, because I felt guilty letting people think that I was actually okay with this,” she added.
“I do not want to be the last generation of girls to ever experience fairness in women’s sports,” she said. “I want to have kids, and I want my daughter to have the same opportunity that I did.”
