The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee quietly changed its eligibility rules on Monday to bar transgender women from competing in Olympic women’s sports, and now will comply with President Trump’s executive order on the issue, according to a post on the organization’s website.

    Patricio Manuel is 3-1 in boxing. His main issue is men won’t fight him now because they’re terrified of losing to a trans man. It’s patriarchy all the way down, so generally the accomplishments of men who’ve transitioned and suppressed, because it kind of shatters the entire ‘unfair’ claim when trans men can win. It also doesn’t help them that being a trans woman isn’t some kind of automatic win; I can’t remember her name, one woman was claimed to be ‘cheating’ because she was trans, but she got 6th in the event. So the entire ‘huge advantage for people born men’ thing keeps getting disproved time and again.
