Bottom Line

The only purported evidence for the claim that Khelif is trans comes from an undisclosed test performed by an allegedly corrupt sports governing body that may have shown she has a DSD condition. The IOC has said Khelif meets its requirements for participation, with Adams, the IOC spokesman, specifically clarifying, “This is not a transgender issue.”

Because Khelif is not transgender, claims attempting to make her victory against Carini an issue about transgender rights or “woke” politics are without basis.

    No-one is saying she’s trans. She is, however, chromosomally male (DSD), which is the issue under debate.

      You mustn’t have read the article. There is zero proof of that, just a half-baked claim with no proof to back it up, from the corrupt and sanctioned International Boxing Association (IBA). Women really shouldn’t have to their genitals or chromosomes inspected just to prove they are a ‘real’ woman, just because some arsehole thinks they don’t look feminine enough.

        So:

        • iba is wrong and corrupt,

        • the tests were fake and even if they weren’t they shouldn’t even be done

        • everyone who thinks she looks very atypical for a woman and very typical for a man is wrong

        • if anyone doesn’t agree with you, they are an “arshole”

        Brilliant! Bravo!

          Unironically, yes, that is a decent summary of the situation. I mean your last bullet wasn’t in the article and is somewhat subjective, but…

            Ok. Wow. You really don’t see how you look like, claiming this?

            I mean if nothing else, you look like the “arshole” in the situation .

                  Whether you’re an asshole or not absolutely depends on the opinion of others, not your own.

                  Again… Fucking unaware of your surroundings.

                    You must be very thick to think I would notice being banned, down votes, insults and all kind of vomit only for mentioning that this is an issue in women’s sports.

                    Very very thick. I would use a harsher word, but I’d immediately banned. Unlike some.
