On her return
Man knocks out woman in boxing ring surprise.
Olympic gender-row boxer Lin Yu-ting controversially romped to victory on her return to the ring on Tuesday night, knocking out a 19-year-old female university student in just 94 seconds.
Lin, 29, won gold in the women’s featherweight division during last year’s Paris Olympics, despite being disqualified from the 2023 World Championships for failing a gender eligibility test.
If you don’t already know that Lin is a man you wouldn’t learn it from that beginning. What is the point of obscuring the truth this way? It’s not HER return to the ring, it’s HIS. He’s a man determined to punch women and he knocked one out yesterday. That’s the story. Saying he failed a gender eligibility test is meaningless: carefully, deliberately meaningless. But it’s ok because hey it’s only women who are harmed so never mind.
Prior to Tuesday, the Taiwanese boxer had not returned to the ring at international events since winning gold in Paris, which sparked a huge gender row over disputed sex tests.
World Boxing introduced mandatory genetic sex testing for all boxers aged over 18 in August, in an effort to better determine eligibility for its competitions.
The decision has seen Lin and fellow gender row boxer Imane Khelif, who also won gold at the Paris Games in the welterweight category, undergo extended periods away from the ring.
Blah blah blah, on and on, and every word of it is evasive.

So how do you test for a person’s gender anyway? Do the letters on the pronoun badge have to be above a certain size? Does the dress have to be a sufficiently bright hue of pink? Does the head-tilt have to be above a certain angle?
It’s the head-tilt one, right?
Do you think officials took Lin’s word that he was eligible for the 60-kg class? Of course not, he did a weigh-in like every other boxer. But they took his eligibility for the female class on faith? Make it make sense!
How much easier it would be to identify as weighing less than I do! Would it make my lederhosen fit better, though?
