IOC President Thomas Bach said the “hate speech” directed at boxers Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting at the Paris Olympics is “totally unacceptable.”
“We will not take part in a politically motivated … cultural war,” Bach said at a news briefing Saturday at the midway point of the Paris Games, where he wanted to draw a line under days of global scrutiny about the female boxers’ gender.
Are you saying there is evidence that these two cis-gendered women are not women?
Weird how the IBA won’t produce that evidence, isn’t it?
“It doesn’t matter whether we see the evidence or not. There’s someone who I don’t find attractive that is physically quite capable… SO IT MUST BE A MAN!!!”
“I know a man when I see one” has gotten so many cis women harassed because of transphobic bigots. Women with things like mustaches they don’t really feel like shaving every day.
My wife works with a woman like that. I haven’t talked to her about it because it’s none of my business, but I thought she was trans myself at first. I said to my wife that she must get harassed a lot as a trans woman with a flat chest and a mustache and my wife told me she wasn’t trans but gets harassed a lot anyway.
I try to be open-minded and accepting, but I made an assumption a cis woman was trans on sight anyway based on biases about what a woman “should” look like that I’ve been shown my whole life. I’m sure they’re no more expert than I am.
I’m sure you weren’t transphobic, though, and that’s the difference.
I do my best not to be. I don’t see any reason to be.

Question for you: What were the tests the IAB administered and who administered them? Do you know? Because I don’t. And they’re refusing to say.
Does that not strike you as odd?
Also, if you knew you were being pushed out of a league due to bogus testing and it was coming from the top, why would you appeal?

Suggesting tests are valid just because the results weren’t challenged in public is not how testing works.

Please quote me suggesting that.

All women have testosterone levels, as their ovaries produce androgens. If you wish to police this, I would say that you need to set limits on testosterone across both males and females, as there are disparities in testosterone production in both groups.
Your writing style is terrible. Have you received enough education to talk about biological issues? To me, your use of ‘tard’ is projection.
Thanks for calling me ‘Gen Z’. As someone born in 1982, I must look young.
Their use of that word got their post deleted for ableism. I wish people didn’t think it was appropriate as an insult. I have seen so many disabled people bullied with that word and the longer version.
Yes, the point of creating an outgroup is to bully them.
and these women just have too high testosterone levels. sorry english isnt my first language. and genY then…thos with zero empathy and childish reflexes.
…says the person who uses a word that is used to bully the disabled.
