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.
Gee, I wonder if the right wing morons will stop screeching about it now.
Narrator: they did not.
Take a page from the Democrats’ current tactics: “what is it with you people and genitalia?”
Don’t engage in debate, because that just implies their position is worthy of it. Ridicule them at every turn.
No they won’t. You assume they are legitimately trying to base their beliefs and arguments in some factuality. Once they get the idea that something is what they think it is then they will never budge from it.
In the past they used to make claims about being rational and dispassionate and using facts over feels. But none of that was ever true. Rationality is not a process to them, to them it is a trait like eye color. They believe their beliefs are rational because they are inherently rational and therefore if you argue against them, you are being irrational by default.
In their minds Khelif is transgender and there us nothing you can say that’ll convince them otherwise.
They also have a tendency to create definitions for things that are otherwise not defined as such. For example they might start to label any woman that doesn’t behave or look exactly as they want a woman to behave or look as transgender no matter how straight and cisgender they are.
Well dang. It seems like corporate news could have done this right off the bat.
FOR SOME REASON they didn’t. Huh. Weird.
Even the BBC mentioned it in the first article I saw about this.
I’m still not surprised to see all the social media things, like JKKK Rowling sharing their usual slop.
John Oliver did briefly on LWT.
I mean, it’s arguable, but I wouldn’t include LWT in ‘corporate news’.
Men when they’re abnormally good compared to their peers: Wow, amazing!
Women when they’re abnormally good compared to their peers: She’s a man!
She’s not even abnormally good, she is good, but not impossibly dominant like some like Phelps.
IF YOU HAVE A VAGINA YOU’RE A WOMAN! It would be REALLY WEIRD if Republicans DIDN’T agree with that Statement anymore considering all the Legislation regarding Youth Genitalia they’ve been Passing!
Republicans are just so obsessed with people’s genitalia, it’s honestly quite weird.
but if she was it also wouldn’t be a big deal.
Maybe not to you and me. If this is how they react to lies, imagine if it was the truth. It’s fuckin’ scary.

There are genetic conditions, termed differences of sexual development, in which biological females are born with XY chromosomes but possess female anatomy
Though there is no independent confirmation that Khelif has these conditions, people born this way would legally be considered female or intersex.
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.
Not even. The IBA never clarified what test she supposedly failed, they just randomly disqualified her and never explained why.
And yes, TONS of people are claiming she’s trans.
Many people are still saying she’s trans. Trump even said it yesterday at one of his rallies.
What’s your basis for making the claim about her chromosomes?
Looks like they need to group people by testosterone range… oh wait
This picture is perfect
