    If you caught me crying at the end of a loss, you couldn't get me in front of a microphone unless Cheerios offered me a sponsorship.

      Didn't she lose after getting bonked in the nose? That'll set off the tear ducts.

          Did she do anything wrong? Cause it seems like the only people mad are people who weren't in the ring.

            Theres doubt about her reasoning to quit mid-match as she was given the opportunity to do so before. Its possible and my guess is that she helped fan the flames of transphobia.

              She gave up a shot in the Olympics for that? So as an Olympic boxer she's more dedicated to transphobia than boxing? And if she was that transphobic wouldn't she just refuse outnof protest in the first place? This all seems a bit hard to buy

                she thought she could win and is dedicated to boxing more than transphobia, but after the big hit she lost all confidence and then went with plan B

                the international footage of her getting hit and crying is having far more impact and reach than simply protesting/refusing to fight

                    jesse-wtf
                    nothing is about body language, this is from her actual interview responses and following the coverage

                    it’s a deduction, and you can disagree, but the dismissive “so you’re a mind-reader nowsmuglord” isn’t needed here

                    I just saw the video. She didn’t shake hands and just straight up looked like she quit out of protest
