Female transvestite's luck runs out in men's boxing match — in just 21 seconds

The wide-ranging institutional embrace of gender ideology has enabled cross-dressing athletes to battle members of the opposite sex in what were once sex-segregated competitions. This has proven devastating for female athletes and women's sports.

A 2021 study in the journal Sports Medicine indicated that when compared to their female counterparts, male athletes boast physical performance advantages that account for a performance gap ranging from 10-50%, depending on the sport. Male transvestites have fully exploited this performance gap, securing wins, prize money, and trophies in swimming, weightlifting, cycling, mixed martial arts, soccer, and in other competitions.

A female boxer recently experienced the consequences of the performance gap; however, unlike other female athletes left battered by gender ideology, her sport had not been invaded by imposters. Rather, she was the one who had migrated sex categories.

Patricia Manuel, who was raised by her single Irish-American mother in California along with her lesbian sister, is a female boxer who has undergone multiple elective surgeries including a double mastectomy in hopes of visually passing as a man.

The LGBT activist publication Outsports previously declared Manuel their "2023 Transgender Athlete of the Year." The previous year, William Thomas, the swimmer who now calls himself Lia, received the designation.

After reiterating she regards herself as a man, Manuel told Outsports, "I love the honesty of this sport."

"Two people with gloves. Same weight category settling out who will be better. In boxing, you settle it and then you hug each other afterward. I wish more of the world was like that," added Manuel.

After taking hormones, putting on a significant amount of weight, and developing a deeper voice, Manuel, 38, became the first boxer in American history to fight first as a woman and later as a "man," reported the Los Angeles Times.

The 5'6" super-featherweight has managed three wins since she began to professionally fight men in 2018 but received a reality check earlier this month at the Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, California.

Joshua Brian Reyes, a male fighter who previously had a record of three wins and two losses, knocked Manuel flat on her back just 21 seconds into the April 4 fight with a devastating blow to the female fighter's chin.

Following the fight, Manuel wrote on Instagram, "I'm not one to hide my face no matter the outcome. ... I lost last night. I trained my ass off, had great sparring, cut no corners. But sometimes s**t doesn't go your way."

She added, "I am disappointed and to be honest, my ego is bruised. But I refuse to bow my head in shame."

When the World Boxing Council decided to create a separate category for transvestite boxers last year, Manuel said, "It is heartbreaking to me to have the WBC, a leader in my sport, argue that I don't have a place in the ring as a man," reported Fox News Digital.

"Given the WBC's stated values of sportsmanship, diversity and respect (via their philanthropic arm WBC Cares), I trust this intended new policy was made with the best of intentions to be inclusive of transgender boxers," continued Manuel. "Yet, in reality, the WBC is inherently dehumanizing transgender people by implying that trans men aren’t men and trans women aren't women."
