VICTORIAVILLE, Quebec (LifeSiteNews) – A female boxer withdrew from a Quebec championship fight after learning that her competitor was a man claiming to be a woman.

On November 15, Dr. Katia Bissonnette revealed why she stepped down from the 2023 Provincial Golden Glove Championship in Victoriaville, Quebec upon discovering that her opponent, “Mya” Walmsley, is a biological male just hours before she was set to fight him. Bissonnette had been set to face him during the October 27 and 29 competitions.
“In the group studied, the weakest man remains physically superior to the strongest woman,” Bissonnette added.

She explained that if men are allowed to compete against women in combat sports, women will soon leave the sport rather than fight against men.

“Women shouldn’t have to bear the physical and psychological risks brought by a man’s decisions regarding his personal life and identity,” Bissonnette continued. “There should be two categories: biological male and female.”
