You take a hostage and tell those who would stop you that you'll do them harm and you will do it if necessary. Then you treat that hostage with kindness, show vulnerability and that you're not REALLY a bad person. Once you've done that, you show the hostage that you trust them, just a little bit...not fully but just enough to show that you're a good guy. The feigned trust, because you don't really trust the hostage, will bring a feeling of comfort to that prisoner and lo and behold, you don't have to watch that hostage as closely because you've convinced him that you'd never hurt him. That eliminates, or at least mitigates, the damage that this hostage could cause if you treat him badly. You've convinced him that you won't hurt him because basically you're good guy but in reality, you have to carry out your threat when your opponents come after you. You WILL harm them when push comes to shove.
And you don't think that's manipulative. Like I said, you're quite naive.

So you really think that the Italian boxer hadn't heard of this stuff before? That it hadn't been discussed over the last 7 or 8 years as she was working towards this goal? That she hadn't been told that if she didn't go along with it, she'd be a bigot and a transphobe? That doubting it may cause a person to end herself? That this pressure may even have caused her to believe it?
Then, when she does face it personally, it's on the biggest stage of her life. What does she do? Protest, get blasted on the world media and be kicked out of the Olympics? Or go along with it and hope for the best? So she goes along with it and then finds out the reality. There's no way she can beat this man and it breaks her heart.....but that's not all, now the years of manipulation will have it's effect. She gets called onto the carpet, and the implications are everywhere. She is a bigot and transphobe and she may even believe it because if she strongly believes that it wasn't fair, she wouldn't apologise. Everything has cornered her and she admits she's wrong. She is now an adherent of the ideology.
This is the same type of manipulation that one, who ends up Stockholm Syndrome, has gone through. One is manipulation by a hostage taker. The other is manipulation through social and authoritarian pressure that has been ongoing for a number of years. They both end up in the same place and they've both been changed forever. That's the end result for this boxer. There's no name for it, not like the person suffering from Stockholm Syndrome has their condition named. She's a pariah to this segment of the population, just like the other would be if they betrayed the hostage taker. She's been manipulated for years so when she has to deal with it, she responds in the way her manipulators want.
That's the comparison. That's why they're somewhat similar.
