Kaitlynn Wheeler says it was heartbreaking to watch Italian boxer Angela Carini break down in tears after walking away from her fight at the Paris Olympics against Algeria’s Imane Khelif, a biological male. “The science tells us that men have larger facial bones, they have more facial tissues, they have greater lung capacity, and their average punching power is 162% greater than that of women,” she says. “So if that’s not enough to say that men do not belong in women’s sports, then I don’t know what will be enough.”
