Female boxing champ unapologetic about stance on transgender athletes.

Women’s World Boxing Champion Ebanie Bridges Takes a Stand Against Transgender ​Athletes in Female Sports

According to‌ a recent report, Ebanie Bridges, the 37-year-old Australian fighter who has held the​ IBF female bantamweight crown since 2022,⁢ is ‍not afraid to speak out against⁣ transgender athletes in ⁢women’s sports. She firmly ⁤believes that the idea⁤ of⁤ a woman fighting against a biological male is simply “wrong,” and she ​encourages others to voice their⁤ opinions without ‌fear.

“Transgender athletes are not the ‍f***ing same as biological females,”

says Bridges, ⁢who ⁢feels frustrated that people are hesitant to acknowledge this truth.

Bridges ‌has been vocal about her refusal to fight against ‌someone who⁢ was assigned male at birth. ‍To ⁣emphasize her point, she often uses the famous analogy of⁤ a biologically​ female boxer facing off‍ against⁤ a prime Mike Tyson if Tyson had transitioned. She believes that such matchups would be inherently unfair.

Despite‍ facing criticism for her stance, Bridges remains undeterred.​ She acknowledges that speaking⁢ out ​against transgender athletes invites‌ backlash, but she firmly stands by⁤ her beliefs.

“But ⁢no matter ​what you say, people are gonna jump and⁢ turn on you,”

she says. “I think the reality is — I’m right, and it’s true. … ‌People are obviously scared,‌ and I think with me speaking up⁤ with the kind⁣ of ‌person that I am, such a big⁣ name in ‌the sport and not just in ‌the⁢ sport but in the general world, it gives other people the OK to speak up as well.”

Bridges argues that⁢ allowing men to fight ⁣women in ⁢boxing puts the⁢ latter at ‍risk of ‍serious harm. She ⁤points out⁤ that even when she spars with ​boys ‍or ​smaller guys, ​they ‍possess significant strength. ‌She⁣ believes ​that if the situation were ⁢reversed, with a ​woman transitioning‍ to a man and​ fighting against men, the outcome ‍would ⁤be disastrous for​ the woman.

In Bridges’ opinion, if transgender ‌athletes wish to‍ participate in ⁣boxing, they ⁢should have their own ⁤separate category⁤ or division. This would ⁤ensure ‌both‌ safety and fairness, while ​also ​preserving the integrity of women’s sports.

“Maybe ⁢they need their⁢ own space or competitions and fight in their own ⁣divisions,”

suggests Bridges, ⁤who believes this approach would protect the hard work​ and dedication of female athletes who​ have trained to ‍be the best.

“I don’t care ⁤if‌ you’ve got boobies, you were still born‌ a man.”

What are the potential​ physical advantages that ‌transgender women may ⁣have over⁢ cisgender female ‌athletes, according to Bridges?

Was assigned male at birth but now identifies as female. She‌ argues that allowing transgender women to compete in female sports puts biological women at a disadvantage and ‍undermines the⁤ integrity of women’s sports as a whole.

One of the key concerns raised by Bridges is the physical advantage‍ that transgender women may⁣ have over‌ their​ cisgender female counterparts. She points out that male​ bodies generally ​have greater muscle mass, bone density, and testosterone levels, which ​can provide a significant performance advantage in sports. ⁤Allowing transgender women to compete against cisgender⁢ women, ⁣according to Bridges, ‍is ⁢inherently unfair ‌and diminishes the accomplishments ⁣and ‌efforts of‌ female⁢ athletes.

Moreover, ⁢Bridges believes ⁤that the ⁤inclusion of transgender ​women⁣ in female sports jeopardizes the⁤ safety of the athletes. Combat sports, in particular,⁢ carry inherent risks, and allowing transgender women with a male⁤ background ⁢to compete against cisgender women could lead to increased​ likelihood‌ of injuries. Bridges​ asserts that ​it is the responsibility of sports organizations to prioritize the safety and well-being of their athletes and that allowing transgender athletes⁢ to‌ compete in female‌ sports compromises this fundamental‌ principle.

While ⁤Bridges acknowledges the importance ⁤of inclusivity and acceptance of transgender individuals in society, she argues that separate categories should be created ⁢for transgender athletes in order to ensure fair and⁢ competitive sports. By having‌ separate divisions for transgender women, their unique⁤ physiological advantages can be more accurately ⁤accounted for, and they can compete⁢ against individuals with similar physical attributes.

Bridges ⁣is not alone​ in her concerns. ⁣Many other⁢ athletes and sports professionals have also voiced their reservations about the inclusion of transgender women in female sports. They argue that it is necessary to⁢ strike a⁣ balance between inclusivity and maintaining a level playing field for female athletes. It is crucial to ensure that ​the achievements and progress made by cisgender female ‌athletes‌ are not overshadowed or undermined.

The debate⁢ surrounding transgender participation in female sports is ⁢a ⁣complex and nuanced issue. It raises questions not only​ about fairness and competition ⁣but also about⁢ gender identity, inclusivity, and discrimination. It is essential to navigate this debate carefully ‍and thoughtfully, taking into account the perspectives ​and concerns of all stakeholders involved.

As for Ebanie ⁢Bridges, she remains⁤ committed to speaking out against what‍ she believes to be an unfair⁢ practice in ⁢women’s sports. She asserts‍ that her intention is ‌not ​to discriminate against transgender individuals but‍ rather to ‍safeguard the integrity and spirit of‍ women’s sports. Bridges encourages open dialogue and hopes ⁣that her outspokenness will spark productive⁣ discussions that lead to ⁤a better understanding ⁤of the​ complexities⁢ of transgender inclusion in female sports.
