One controversy coming out of the 2024 Paris Olympics concerned a fight between Algerian boxer Imane Khelif and Italian boxer Angela Carini.

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.

    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 .

          …says the person downvoted to ovlivion for being an arsehole.

          Some people… How can you be so… unaware.

              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.

                  Wait, women participating in women’s sports is an issue?

                  How did this suddenly take a turn from helping you ‘detect’ the asshole in the conversation?

                  And… If you maybe get banned so often, and you’re scared to use ‘harsher words’, maybe you’re unaware that you’re the arsehole? Maybe?

                  Look in the mirror. Reflect.

                    You are in a little bubble where only one opinion is allowed. Relax. Chill. Then maybe when you release all this kneejerk irrational hatred and vitriol, you will be able to have an independent thought.

                    I won’t hold my breath. Bye.
