So are we gonna see widespread boycotts of the games now? I mean if what we have been told over a decade now is morally correct that should be the response.
Won't happen. There has been a shift. Organizations like the IOC are anything but brave. They have adjusted based on their finger in the air. They sense the winds of change.
We were told, but only by a small minority of extremely loud voices. I don't think the idea of biological men competing in women's sports was ever popular.
It still feels weird. A tiny fraction of voices was able to scare our leaders into publicly denying biological realities. It took years of the majority shouting "we don't like this" to get them to go back to the common sense position. The asymmetry is strange, but I'm not exactly sure what it signifies.
In this case I think it was the extreme ugliness of that women’s boxing incident.
If it had just been dudes winning a few medals, rather than a dude beating the shit out of a bunch of women, they would have kept going.
Shocked this needed a formal ban.
Women rejoice!
