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.

        I never said they were transgender.

        My sin for all of this vomit is that I dared to suggest that women’s sport might have an issue with individuals with dsd and it’s not sensible to pretend that it doesn’t exist.

        That’s all.

          I never said they were transgender.

          yet you are sure IBA can be believed when they say they are transegender. why is that?

          My sin for all of this vomit is that I dared to suggest that women’s sport might have an issue with individuals with dsd and it’s not sensible to pretend that it doesn’t exist.

          you literally asked, “Why start with some conspiracy theory?”

          And I answered. IOC and US authorities have evidence that IBA can’t be trusted to govern the sport, and IOC says these women are fit to compete.

          I never said they were transgender.

            Iba never said they were transgender.

            I never said iba can be trusted. In fact I said the opposite. Many times.

            You are claiming that it’s a conspiracy against this one boxer. You have to come up with some proofs. Saying that they are generally untrustworthy is not evidence.

            I never said they were unfit to compete. I even said they should since they competed before and none of the opponents were against it before.

              Okay let me do some more homework for you.

              https://www.npr.org/2024/08/02/nx-s1-5061280/olympic-womens-boxing-gender-imane-khelif-lin-yuting

              “The current aggression against these two athletes is based entirely on this arbitrary decision, which was taken without any proper procedure — especially considering that these athletes had been competing in top-level competition for many years,” the International Olympic Committee said in a statement Thursday.

              That’s the IOC saying outright these women were unfairly disqualified by the IBA. Call it a conspiracy or whatever you want, the IOC said it straight up.

              The IBA said in a statement at the time that Khelif and Lin had “failed to meet eligibility rules, following a test conducted by an independent laboratory.”

              IBA President Umar Krevlev told Russian state media that it was “proven they have XY chromosomes” — which is seen in men, as opposed to the XX genotype of women.

              This is the IBA president saying they were DSQ for being XY.

              But let me guess none of this counts as evidence either. Maybe in the future try googling for 5 minutes instead of plugging your ears and screaming CONSPIRACY!!! a million times.

                You seriously posted that as your proof of conspiracy? None of that speaks of conspiracy.

                No need for homework, I have read all the you shared a few times before. Thank you.

                  you’re the one calling it a conspiracy from the beginning, I was just trying not to get mired in a semantic debate. And you have done an excellent job of absolving yourself of any responsibility to do anything other than deny anything presented to you. you’re a Denier.

                  The fact is IBA unfairly DSQed them for being XY. Use whatever term you want to describe that.

                  No need for homework, I have read all the you shared a few times before. Thank you.

                  except for those parts where you were blatantly wrong, like the IBA not saying the women were trans.

                    Calling me strange names won’t make your argument any better.

                    Saying they found xy genes is not the same as calling them trans.

                    They might disqualified them fairly as well. We don’t know what tests they did and what results they got.

                    You are claiming unproven things and asking me to disprove them.
