    Boxer loses fight, conservatives pretend to care about women or womens’ sports and lose their minds. Same song, different day.

    Imagine. All the horrible, tragic, and important things happening in the world and what you all choose to (pretend to) care about is the chromosomal makeup of Olympic boxers.

      Also the boxer isn’t even trans. The article says she grew up female and her parents discouraged her from getting into boxing as a kid because it was seen as a masculine sport. It seems like she only discovered she has a Y chromosome once she joined a boxing league that checked the chromosomes of boxers. The Olympics don’t have rules regarding chromosomes of athletes so she’s allowed to compete.

        @ImplyingImplications @originalfrozenbanana

        people who justify men beating up women simply don’t belong in civilized society. outside of election results that beggar belief, it’s easy to just decide these shills aren’t real - like the bots we see that forget to change the language, or the paid astroturf accounts.

        OMG did you hear about project 2025? women will be men’s property? uh, no, you’re thinking of the olympics. the opening ceremony was mentall illness, this is just more of hte same.

        @ImplyingImplications @originalfrozenbanana Finally, somebody here is getting to the root of the discussion.

        Does #ImaneKhelif have a Y chromosome? Maybe she is #intersex or something. At first I thought she just might have above average #testosterone or was juicing.

        I am no fan of men competing against women but I feel like if she was #trans, she would have either said something about it, or someone from her past would have.

            Anyone born with a Y chromosome is a man or intersex. He didn’t know he was a man/intersex until later in life, but that absolutely refutes “born female”, “is female”, “she’s cis”, and “woman from birth”. He should not be in women’s sports, because he is not a woman

                My comment was not long, I’m not sure why you skipped past the “or intersex” twice in it.

                I don’t know what’s in his pants. I haven’t seen anyone claim other than you that he has a vagina, but that doesn’t really matter. Intersex people can have ambiguous genitals. He is still not a woman, and should not be in women’s sports. He is free to compete in men’s sports.

            We agree with each other? He’s either a man or intersex. He shouldn’t be competing in women’s sports.

          Joe Biden stepped down from the race to let someone else run, so I’m not really sure what the fuck you’re talking about. He’s not the candidate? Who are you yelling at lol you’re the one with a nearly 80 year old sex predator friend of Epstein who stored top secret documents in a bathroom as your candidate. My goodness yall are really shallow as a puddle over there, huh?

            I never said #JoeBiden stepped down, I said you guys voted for someone older than the person you’re making fun of for being old. There’s a difference. I’m criticizing your side’s hypocrisy, not attacking a politician. Keep up!

            > you’re the one with a nearly 80 year old sex predator

            Never proven, this is one of those #BlueAnon conspiracy theories

              Who banned #Epstein from #MarALago when he tried to hit on the underage daughter of one of its members, yes

              > who stored top secret documents in a bathroom as your candidate.

              Kinda like how #JoeBiden stored top secret documents in his car and garage?

              See like I said you don’t care about any of these things, you just don’t like #Trump. If you cared about these critiques, you would not have supported #JoeBiden while he was running for president.

                Biden cooperated with record requests. Why didn’t Trump? The only reason Biden was investigated was so that your side could use it as a talking point about how they are both the same when they are not.

                It is very common for some records to need to be returned during and after a presidency. It is NOT AT ALL common for presidents to refuse those requests. THAT is the difference.

                    We agree here, although it has nothing to do with my argument. Keeping the documents is the crime, not refusing to give them back.

          You should just state “I am a misogynist” then instead of trying to deflect by saying other bad things exist too. People are allowed to care about multiple bad things going on at the same time.

            Your presidential candidate is an actual sex predator, your political party consistently erodes the rights of women, and I guarantee none of you could name either woman boxer from the story without checking twice. Your credibility when it comes to what misogyny is is nil

        She’s not a man. Either you think everyone with XY chromosomes is a man, even if they have female genitals, or you acknowledge that neither genitals nor chromosomes alone are sufficient to define gender and you acknowledge that trans people exist as their identified gender. You don’t get it both ways.

        Sorry I forgot for a second where I was and just wasted all that energy typing out something you won’t read because your side doesn’t care about the truth.

                You come in here making a lot of WILD accusations you can’t seem to backup, calling people names and claiming to have a moral stance, yet everything you’ve said is a total reach.

                No you don’t lol. I love when you right fucks try to pretend you care about women or women’s sports all of a sudden. Literally no one buys it. “Aw golly gee I just care about fairness in women’s sports” nah bro you hate trans and nonbinary people. Own it! Be the bigot you really are, loud and proud!
