In this case I agree that there maybe should have been more thought given, weight wise? I don’t watch boxing so don’t know the ins and outs.
Angela Carini has apologised and wants to personally apologise to Imane and I think that is the right thing to do. She has caused an unnecessary uproar in an already volatile subject matter. Lots of ignorant, hateful people in the world and on here.

…yeah, Imane is obviously eligible to compete in a female category because she is female…but I think also…(…for me anyway…)…elevated testerone levels would factor as well because it’s obviously about Imane’s safety but the wider safety that it’s about, is female competitors in sports events…?…this is an interesting and layered case and potentially it could have opened up discussions because there are many people who are eager to have those…but sadly, it’s another agenda hijacking …I did read an article this morning that celebrities who spoke out in criticism of Imane are apologising so that’s good to hear…and yeah, there’s no criticism to be had of Angela Carini…she reacted in a moment because of extreme disappointment …but then the internet took over, sadly…leaving Angela and Imane and all women as the victims of their war games…
