The women’s boxing event in the Paris Olympics is the stuff of Payton McNabb’s nightmares.

McNabb is among those galvanized to speak out after the Olympics decided to allow two boxers thrown out of a female competition to go ahead and get into the ring with women.

When did it become cool to watch women get beat up by men? Actually disgusting and insane https://t.co/DTVAa0qIqF

Boxers Imane Khelif of Algeria and Lin Yu‑ting of Taiwan were banned by the International Boxing Association, according to the U.K.’s Guardian, after IBA President Umar Kremlev said DNA tests had “proved they had XY chromosomes and were thus excluded from the sports events.”

When pressed as to how the Olympics could allow two individuals who failed an undisclosed gender test to fight in the female competition, International Olympic Committee representative Mark Adams noted, “They are women in their passports and it is stated that is the case,” according to Reuters.

He also said defining a woman is “incredibly complex.”

Not for McNabb.

McNabb was 17 when a gleeful trans opponent spiked a ball into her head, knocking her out for 30 seconds and turning the active life of an athlete into a pain-stricken battle to exist for a woman who has problems walking due to the brain damage she suffered from that one incident, according to the U.K.’s Daily Mail.

“It’s dangerous to have the two [sexes] competing together, and just not OK. I am disgusted by this, personally. This is morally wrong and evil,” she said.

“These women have worked so hard and trained tirelessly to get all the way to the Olympics, all so they can get punched in the face by a dude,” she said.

McNabb knows the struggle they could face. At 19, the student at Western Carolina University, who once played sports with zest, now has mobility issues on her right side. She requires tutoring to make up for the traumatic brain injury she suffered at 17.

She is not alone in her fears.

“As if the Satanic display at the opening ceremony wasnt enough, the Olympics glorifies men punching women in the face with the intent of knocking them unconscious. Imane Khelif is 1 of 2 male boxers fighting women at the Olympics,” activist Riley Gaines posted on social media platform X.

“A woman is going to die,” she posted.

Complicating the entire story areclaimsthat Khelif may have failed the gender test due to some form of DSD (difference in sex development), a catch all term for over 40 conditions that can occur before birth, impact sex hormone levels, and yield many other biological anomalies.

DSD exists in very clear distinction to transgenderism as the term is popularly used to describe individuals who reject their biological sex, identifying instead as the opposite sex or any number of nouveau “gender types” that were virtually unheard of just a few years ago.

The Daily Mail noted that in December 2022, Khelif brutally pounded Mexican female boxer Brianda Tamara, who later spoke about the fight.

“When I fought with her I felt very out of my depth,” she wrote on X. “Her blows hurt me a lot, I don’t think I had ever felt like that in my 13 years as a boxer, nor in my sparring with men. Thank God that day I got out of the ring safely, and it’s good that they finally realized,” she said.

CLARIFICATION, August 1, 2024: This article has been updated to clarify that the nature of Khelif’s biological status is presently unclear.
