Women have come a long way in sports. It has taken decades for women to make progress around the world just to be allowed to play and to have decent facilities to play in. In the U.S., Title IX drove many of the improvements for women in sports. Other countries around the world had similar initiatives.
Now all this progress is being undermined. Any biological man can simply claim they are a woman and then go compete against women. This is nowhere more clear than in the 2024 Olympics in Paris where the officials stated that simply being marked as female on your passport will allow you to proclaim you are a woman. No tests for gender or testosterone level required. Even if you have been banned in other athletic events for being a biological male -- this had no bearing on competing in women's events in Paris.
The Zambia Women's Soccer team competed with four biological males on their team (who had been banned in other competitions for being male). Two of the biological males on the Zambia Women's soccer team were stars with lengthy histories of being banned from other events.

Two biological male boxers are being allowed to compete as women at the Paris Olympics. One of them broke their opponents nose within seconds of the match starting forcing a biological woman to quit the match at the 46 second mark. This was the first match for the biological male boxer -- the brutalized female opponent stated she never had been hit so hard.

Something is very wrong with a world that allows biological males to compete as women. It undermines all the progress made by women in sports. I expect in the next Olympics that more countries will be showing up with entire teams of biological males for women's matches in boxing, wrestling, soccer, swimming and other sports. For instance, countries are likely to field entire "women's" soccer teams consisting entirely of biological males.
There is a need to uphold the integrity of women's sports. This will require a ban across the world on biological males proclaiming they are female to compete in women's sports. Enough is enough.
