If you, like the majority of Americans, oppose men infiltrating and dominating women’s sports competitions, you might be falling for Nazi propaganda. At least, that’s what Vox’s latest article “Discrimination against trans Olympians has roots in Nazi Germany” implies.
Since the beginning of time, humans have recognized the fundamental differences between men and women. In recent years, the widely recognized distinctions between the sexes, however, have suffered attacks from a radical ideology that prioritizes the wishes of gender-bending men ahead of women and their protected spaces.
There is no doubt that males have an indisputable physical advantage over women. The American College of Sports Medicine says males “are stronger, more powerful, and faster than females of similar age and training status” which is why a whopping 69 percent of Americans are against letting males play on female teams.
According to Vox, however, anyone who counts themselves among the percentage of people who value the importance of preserving women’s sports is drawing on a narrative created by Nazis.
“The Nazi era has substantially shaped the conversation surrounding trans athletes today,” Vox author Alex Abad-Santos claimed.
He hinged much of his analysis on the book, The Other Olympians: Fascism, Queerness, and the Making of Modern Sports, by New Yorker, New York Times, and Atlantic contributor Michael Waters and the athletic career of Czechoslovakian track and field star Zdeněk Koubek.
Abad-Santos claimed “there was an open-mindedness and empathy to the reception of Koubek and his gender identity and expression in the 1930s” that was dampened only by the 1936 Olympics in Nazi Germany.
“Armed with a propensity for eugenics, gender anxiety, and a startling lack of scientific evidence, a small set of Nazi officials influenced the International Olympic Committee into gender surveillance and trans panic — stuff that eerily mirrors the transphobic attacks that athletes, cis and trans alike, face today,” he wrote.
The article was published shortly after an athlete with XY chromosomes and elevated testosterone levels forced a female challenger out of the women’s boxing event at the 2024 Paris Olympics with one brutal punch to the face.
“I have never been hit so hard in my life,” Italy’s decorated Angela Carini said.
Algeria’s Imane Khelif was previously disqualified from fighting in the women’s division at the 2023 World Championships after the International Boxing Association allegedly discovered XY chromosomes in the athlete’s DNA. The International Olympic Committee, however, officially sanctioned Khelif’s involvement in the 2024 games.
Unsurprisingly, the spar between Khelif and Carini lasted for less than a minute and ended with the Italian woman making an injured retreat.
“I had entered the ring to fight,” Carini said. “I didn’t give up, but a punch hurt too much and so I said enough. I go out with my head held high.”
The International Olympic Committee, unfazed by the violent act, released a statement defending Khelif and Taiwan’s Lin Yu-Ting’s participation and criticizing “aggression” directed towards the boxers’ Paris performance. The IOC also dissed sex tests, which are a key safeguard used to ensure women have a fair chance during competitions.
Algeria’s minister of youth and sports similarly smeared concerns about Khelif’s sex as “baseless attacks” and “cowardly attempts to tarnish her reputation.”
Corporate media like Vox further muddied the waters by amplifying speculations that the pair might have “a rare group of genetic and hormonal disorders allowed under International Olympic Committee guidelines” but barred by the IBA.
“Outside of the Games, trans people face so much backlash, often for simply existing. The conversation around sports is particularly fraught, from children’s athletics right up through the pros,” the author wrote.
In addition to comparing criticism of the brutal fight and the IOC practices that allowed it to Nazism, the Vox author openly expressed hope that media pressure would force the IOC to become even more welcoming for men who want to beat up women.
“I do think the IOC statement suggests that there is some interest in talking about making sports more inclusive. But obviously, I think the policies on the ground at the Paris Olympics this year don’t really reflect that,” Abad-Santos concluded.
His desires are on par with the corporate media’s long history of transgender activism. Despite Americans’ feelings about the radical gender craze ravaging schools, jails, the White House, and other key institutions, the propaganda press are determined to sacrifice females and their athletic feats at the feet of gender-confused men.
