Censorship is sex realism's greatest obstacle at the moment. This is as true with respect to fairness in women's sports as in any other facet of the gender identity crisis.
Unless I missed it, the mainstream (i.e. liberal) media misreported, obfuscated and refused the report the voices who were pointing out in real time that those two boxers were men. Most cishet trans allies who got wind of the controversy probably came away believing it was a Russian disinformation campaign.
Social media generally continue to treat vocal sex realists like outlaws. The Washington Post cut off my access to the comments for 72 hours (and chilled my exercise of free speech there for the foreseeable future) because I responded to a number of different people's gender-affirming posts by clarifying that the boxers in question have XY chromosomes. Funny how the Post's moderators didn't seem to have a problem with all the good trans allies who posted comment after comment about how very brave those two "women" were.
There is no shortage of sex-realist women athletes and other qualified and experienced people who are making the case on podcasts or in their Substacks for excluding and banning pseudo women from female-only competitions.
If only there were someone already known to the media who has nothing to lose and such a high profile that TV, cable and social media wouldn't be able to ignore her when she makes the case for universal sex testing and barring pseudo men from women's-only sports. Who would that be? Does anyone have her contact information? Then please use it to pitch the idea.
Such a good post, Ollie (and Eva's article, of course)! I suppose Martina Navratilova would get MSM coverage if only she toed the party line, but because she speaks the truth, she's ignored or scorned. Not only her, but her long time trainer/coach/friend Renee Richards has spoken out against pseudo-men competing against women -- crickets from the media, what else. He regrets competing against women in the 70s, and admits it was unfair. No one wants to hear a former trans-athlete defend women-only sports policies. Upside-down clown world. It can be so depressing. Sorry to hear about the Post -- they're pathetic. I informed them that they're going to lose their best readership because of this, but they don't care, it seems. At least they re-printed the article by Doriane Lambelet Coleman about a week ago. Small comfort.
I can't remember their names but a bunch of men with the same story basically, were in Olympic games back in the 30s & 40s. A famous British, Polish, German just off the top of my head. I read about them several years ago.
Refreshing to hear a man be so honest in regards to elite sports.
It really is!
Any chance you can get an interview with Erik Schinegger?
He's passed away.
Bummer. Thanks for the information.

Schinegger is a real winner on and off the slopes!
Thanks.
Excellent story.
