Told you she’d rock the ring.
To those still questioning our boxer: stop falling for fake news, don’t be a racist, don’t be a bully, and don’t post comments online if you can’t back them up with evidence.
Basic biology starts with knowing you’ve got a brain in your head—so remember to use it.
Congratulations to Lin Yu-ting 林郁婷 for winning gold in women's 57kg boxing at #Paris2024! With admirable focus & discipline, she has overcome misinformation & cyberbullying, turning adversity into victory. A daughter of #Taiwan through & through, she’s made our nation proud!
Lin Yu-Ting was born a woman. She has been female since birth. She is participating in the boxing tournament at the Olympic Games Paris 2024 with her strength and has complied with all applicable medical regulations set by the Paris 2024 Boxing Unit, which have been consistently applied throughout all qualification events.
Lin Yu-Ting is a victim of the sudden and arbitrary decision by the IBA. Up to now, the IBA has not provided any evidence. The IBA should establish a legitimate and clear gender testing procedure, instead of repeatedly and baselessly claiming that “Taiwan is a part of China.”
This cannot erase the fact that Lin Yu-Ting represents Taiwan as a female athlete.
We reiterate that everyone has the right to participate in sports without discrimination. Moreover, anyone who supports the rights of female athletes should stand against this bullying behavior.
The attack on Lin Yu-Ting is a form of international bullying. But she never gives up, and she has reached the final despite the eligibility dispute.
“The more we’re bullied, the stronger we become.”
We, the Taiwanese people, will always stand with her and be her strongest support. 💪
