A 10/23/24 headline from the New York Post:
UN reveals how many female athletes have
lost medals to trans opponents in explosive report
“The report was “compiled by Reem Alsalem, the UN special rapporteur on violence against women and girls,” and “was presented to the UN General Assembly earlier this month.”
From CV NEWS FEED:
A recently released report from the United Nations (UN) found that female athletes lost at least 890 medals to male opponents who claim to be women across two dozen sports.
As of late March 2024, “over 600 female athletes in more than 400 competitions have lost more than 890 medals in 29 different sports,” the report, titled “Violence against women and girls in sports,”
During a morning FOX News appearance on 10/24/24, women’s sports advocate Riley Gaines said she thinks the revelation is “huge … especially coming from the UN.”
Gaines, a retired collegiate swimmer, told Shimkus that the “alarming, shockingly high number” of lost awards “doesn’t really mean much to me in terms of how inclined I feel to fight this fight and to push back.”
“One girl losing out on opportunities, one girl being exploited in locker rooms, one girl being injured in their sport, is one girl too many,” Gaines argued.
Earlier this week, retired trailblazing racecar driver Danica Patrick came out against the notion of men who claim to be women competing in women’s sports.
“It’s completely wrong,” said Patrick, who has set numerous firsts for women in racing. “And this is coming from someone who was a woman who was basically in a man’s sport. A man is just different, their hormones are different, their body is different.”
Popular X account Libs of TikTok related the news to the presidential election in less than two weeks.
“Kamala supports this. Trump vowed to ban it,” the account wrote, referring to comments the former president has made. “Vote wisely!”
For those women who are planning on voting for Harris, just one question: “Is one girl too many?”
