Staff Reports
In an astonishing turn of events, Katia Bissonnette, a talented female boxer, had to withdraw from a Canadian boxing tournament after discovering that her opponent was a biological male claiming to be “transgender.” This bizarre incident occurred at the 2023 Provincial Golden Glove Championship in Quebec, where Bissonnette was given a mere hour’s notice before she was expected to face this biological male.
Female Boxer Withdraws From Competition Against 'Trans' Athlete

Can you imagine the shock and dismay? Picture it: Katia was all set, confidently making her way to the boxer’s warming up area, when her coach pulled her aside. He had received information, through a text message no less, that her opponent wasn’t born a woman. Incredible, right? Armed with this unsettling knowledge, Bissonnette made the difficult decision to bow out of the competition, putting her safety first. And what happened next? The transgender athlete was declared the winner by default because no other opponent in the same weight class could be found. Unbelievable.
Now, let’s talk about this transgender athlete, Jonathan Walmsley. There is limited information about him, but it seems he has conveniently decided to join women’s sports recently. How convenient indeed! Bissonnette reveals that in his home country of Australia, Walmsley had only fought against men. So, we have this individual who suddenly moves to Canada and thinks, “You know what? I’m a woman now. Time to punch some ladies in the ring!” It’s absurd! And to make matters worse, he has an overtly masculine appearance. I mean, come on! Are we really expected to believe this?
Bissonnette makes an important point that cannot be overlooked. She explains that a male punch has a whopping 163% more impact than a woman’s, even when adjusted for weight. That’s a significant difference, folks. It’s basic science. The strongest man is still superior to the strongest woman, and that shouldn’t be brushed aside just to accommodate someone’s personal decisions and identity. There needs to be a clear distinction between biological males and females in sports. It’s only fair.
Of course, the transgender athlete, Walmsley, loves playing the victim here. After Bissonnette went public with her experience, he accused her of “outing” him and claimed that athletes like him are at risk of exclusion and personal attacks. Oh, the drama! But let’s call a spade a spade. If he had been transparent from the beginning, perhaps these controversies and debates could have been avoided. Transparency and fairness are not too much to ask for, especially when it comes to competitive sports.
Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident. We have seen similar controversies in different sports, whether it’s pool, martial arts, or cycling. Female athletes are dropping out or protesting because they are being forced to compete against biological males who identify as females. It’s a slippery slope, my friends. If this trend continues, women’s sports will become a mere illusion, overshadowed by individuals who don’t truly understand or experience the physical challenges women face in athletic competitions.
It’s time to wake up, folks. We can respect individual choices and identities while also preserving the integrity of women’s sports. We need to establish clear boundaries and regulations to ensure fairness and prevent harm. The physical and psychological risks imposed on women by someone else’s personal decisions should not be dismissed or trivialized. It’s time to advocate for two separate categories: biological males and females. Let’s level the playing field, protect women’s sports, and maintain the true spirit of competition.
