The governing body, which oversees America's amateur and Olympic-style boxing, has announced it will allow transgender athletes to compete under certain conditions. While boxers under the age of 18 must still compete as their birth gender, transgender fighters will be permitted to fight in the category of their choice. They must meet certain criteria, including declaring their new gender identity, completing gender reassignment surgery and regular hormone testing. Both male and female transgender athletes must have undergone quarterly hormone testing and provided US Boxing with documentation of their hormone levels for a minimum of four years following surgery. This is wrong on so many levels,' wrote Bridges on X. 'I will never agree to this... it's bad enough having trans women breaking records in other sports like track and field, swimming and power lifting but it's a bit different to them breaking our skulls in combat sports where the aim is to HURT YOU not just break a record...however I think it's wrong in ALL SPORT.' 'I have nothing against trans but can't be skewing the line in sport.... You don't see reference or debates for transmen in sport... cos it's not a threat… 'It ain't just about the test levels what about their bone density and a heap of other biological factors. Cutting your bits off and adding boobs won't take back the masculine maturity your body has gone through before you decided you are now a woman.' The Aussie star believes that the controversial policy could harm women's boxing as a whole. 'I don't care about 'political correctness' it's politically incorrect to have a man fighting a woman,' she posted in another Tweet. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
