Ebanie Bridges has opened up on trans women potentially entering the sport.
The Aussie boxer has declared that it should not happen and it would be unfair. She’s explained exactly why.
When Bridges was asked if she would ever face a trans women by Bitcoin Casinos, she said:
“No, never, I think it’s wrong, especially in boxing and I think in all sport.
“Recently a lot of women in sports that are breaking records weren’t originally women. And it is a sport where you’re trying to hurt each other, the goal is actually to hurt that person.
“You’re a born man, I don’t care what you say, how many hormones you’re taking, you’re still a born man.
“That’s like saying all of a sudden Mike Tyson is like ‘I want to be a girl now’ and then goes and fights you – no way.
“And how do you measure it? ‘They don’t look really masculine so that’s ok’. No, because I even spar boys or guys that are smaller than me and they are hell strong.”
“Think about a female growing up, wanting to be the best in her sport, and now she has to be compete against men who have transitioned.
“And it never happens the other way round, where a woman will become a man and fight against the men – as they’d get blasted.
“Maybe they need their own space or competitions and fight in their own divisions. I think that’s fair as it’s dangerous and also it just takes it away from ‘women’s sport’ – ladies that have trained hard to be the best and could potentially fight a former man.”
