Our perceptions shift as our experiences change. So how do we create the most of the moments that matter? Up until 1998, it was illegal for women in the UK to box professionally. Even after it was legalised, lack of access to funding and support kept many from competing. Simply by taking to the ring, Nicola Adams shattered perceptions of who is allowed to compete and succeed in sport—becoming the first female boxer to win Olympic gold. 🥊🥇 We’re tracking the impact of firsts that have happened at the Olympic and Paralympic Games and how they’ve shaped the world.

The 2024 Paris Olympics mark a historic moment for women in sports 🤩 For the first time ever, we'll see equal representation of female and male athletes! This progress comes a long way from 1900, when women first competed in the Olympics (also in Paris) and made up a mere 2.2% of participants 😮 But achieving numerical parity is just the beginning. Now, the challenge lies in dismantling existing systems that haven't been designed for women's participation and in reshaping the Olympics landscape from within 💪 #Paris2024 #GenderEquality #BreakingBarriers Source: IOC and Europe Magazine

This is why you should #InvestInWomensSports. The historic Olympics this year showcased remarkable achievements by women athletes. The gender parity efforts have made a significant impact with 65% of Team USA's gold medals being won by women or women's teams. Similarly, Team Kenya secured 3 out of their 4 gold medals through women athletes. The success of female athletes at this year's Olympics highlights the importance of supporting and investing in women's sports. #Olympics #GenderParity #WomenInSports #InvestInWomensSports #Athlos 📸 ESPN

Gender identity primarily stems from an evolution of thought rather than a biological change. It is nothing more than a social construction. I have always embraced diversity and supported individual rights and personal choices. However, the participation of transgender athletes in women's sports competitions brings up serious fairness concerns. I believe it is entirely unfair. The situation also lacks coherence and merit. A man identifying and living as a woman does not change his biological makeup or physical capabilities. This decision carries implications that should be acknowledged. Transgender athletes should compete amongst themselves to ensure fairness. Otherwise, it undermines the integrity of the competition. In fact, it is a fraud. And to be fair, it will be advisable to consider the creation of two transgender categories: 👉 one for women who choose to live as men. 👉 Another for men who choose to live as women. Several years ago, I expressed concerns that women would become victims of gender ideology, particularly in sports, where they would experience the greatest injustice. Today, this has become a reality. It seems that for proponents of gender ideology, granting additional advantages over women is deemed acceptable. Why would feminists condone such a form of oppression against women? Lia Thomas (swimming) was not allowed to compete in the Olympics Paris 2024. How is it possible that Imane Khelif was? It should be remembered that both Khelif and Lin Yu-ting (Taiwan) were disqualified from the Boxing World Championship (New Delhi, 2023) for not meeting the gender and chromosome eligibility criteria. What happen to Angela Carini is unacceptable. It can't happen again! #Paris2024 #Olympics #Women #Fairness Post-scriptum: Biology is not linear and at no point I claimed that Imane Khelif was transgender. From what I've researched and read, she was never a man. What I specifically mentioned about Imane Khelif was that she was not allowed to compete in the World Boxing Championships because she did not meet the gender and chromosome eligibility criteria. Precisely because biology is not linear, there are gender and chromosome eligibility criteria. Khelif does not fulfill them. Nonetheless, to me, what happened was unfair. Finally, I reiterate that transgenders should not compete against women (or men)
