In order to qualify for tournaments that you need to go to to even qualify for the Olympics, so like qualifiers for the qualifiers, you need to have at minimum a C rating. And she does not have that, so it... I don't know her. I've never spoken to her. I've tried to reach out to her, but it seems from the outside, like this is just a casual fencer doing these tournaments for fun.

They both seem very silly to me. As a high-level fencing coach, I can safely say that I have never, ever told one of my female fencers not to fence a male fencer because it was dangerous. We encourage little kids to fence with... high-level fencers all the time. And I would think that… Wait, like literal children? Yes.

I would think that like a small child fencing against an adult would be more quote-unquote dangerous than that. But fencing is one of the safest sports that there is. And everyone has something to gain in practice regardless of who the opponent is.

The week before this competition, she knowingly participated in a mixed competition, which means that men and women are both allowed to sign up. That tournament was extremely casual. There were no points on the line, not a qualifier for anything, just a fun tournament. But she fenced several men in that competition, and she actually did beat some of them.
