Transgender athlete gets absolutely wrecked by female competition, stunning critics

WILMINGTON, N.C. – A local transgender athlete got absolutely wrecked in a recent boxing match by her female competitor, stunning critics who attended the event to voice their outrage about how her participation in female sports was unfair.

Michaela Fulton, 24, born Michael Fulton, was knocked out by Jameela Hunter, 25, at the 90 second mark in the second round of their bout Monday night.

“I came to watch this fight because I needed to let everyone know how triggered I am about a biological man competing in women’s sports,” said David Huff, a self-prescribed protector of women. “But as it turns out, having a penis didn’t help him, or her I guess, at all. I don’t really know what to believe right now. Everything I’ve been taught to believe is a lie.”

The subject of transgender women competing in women’s sports has been a hot social topic for years, particularly when a transgender athlete performs well. However, critics are unusually silent when a transgender athlete fails to dominate the competition or when it’s a transgender male competing against other men.

According to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), this gender policing actually does more harm than good for all females as it perpetuates the idea that women are less capable than men and it invites unfair accusations against women who may appear “too masculine” or be “too good” to be a real woman.

One recent case of this happened during the summer’s Olympic Games when Algerian boxer Imane Khelif was accused of being a biological male after her opponent, Italian boxer Angela Carini, withdrew from their bout, drawing criticism from politicians and social warriors around the globe. Khelif would go on to win the women’s boxing gold medal.

As for Fulton, she was understandably disappointed she didn’t perform better, but says she just enjoys the thrill of competition and participating in a sport she loves with her friends.

“All the credit goes to Jameela in this fight,” said Fulton. “Going into this fight, I knew I would have to be perfect if I wanted a chance to beat her. She’s an absolute beast and simply out fought me. I hope we get to fight again soon because that was a lot of fun.”

Despite her loss, many people have come forward to protest Fulton’s involvement in women’s boxing. According to her critics, the outcome of her match was irrelevant because even though she wasn’t the tougher opponent, he’s still “a man infiltrating women’s sports to take advantage of the historically lesser sex” (said by a man, of course).

This rhetoric remains unfounded, however, as studies show that only about one percent of the American population identifies as transgender and there’s only about 100 known trans athletes across the United States.

“I don’t care about the facts,” said Darrel Hyde, another self-described protector of women. “One transgender athlete is one too many. I don’t want my daughter competing against a boy even if she could kick his ass. It’s the principle of the matter.”

When asked about the inclusion of transgender male athletes, Hyde starred at us and mumbled something incoherent then shouted, “men don’t belong in the women’s bathroom” before storming away to post how he “owned” us on his Twitter account.

When news broke about Fulton’s loss, we noticed no one seemed to be bothered asking her opponent, the winner of the bout, about her feelings fighting a transgender woman. When we sat down with Jameela Hunter, we expected to receive answers you might expect from Riley Gaines, the former NCAA swimmer who’s become an active voice against allowing transgender women to participate in women’s sports. What we got, however, was something we never expected.

“Michaela is a great fighter and a great athlete,” said Hunter. “I don’t give a damn about what she’s got between her legs. She’s a warrior and left it all out there in the ring. That takes balls and she’s literally got them. But she’s also a goddamn sweetheart. She might be the womanliest woman I know. Will I fight her again? Hell yeah, I’ll fight her again. We can also go get mani pedis if she wants.”

The debate over transgender rights in athletics are likely not going away anytime soon, but in the meantime, let’s all just agree that the Fulton-Hunter fight was a lot more interesting and a lot less staged than the Paul-Tyson fight.
