The world has gone both stupid and insane.
The problem is that the trans community has made such a mockery of the people who actually have this medical condition. It just muddies the waters, confuses people and makes them reluctant to accept that there can be a grey area. I would think that people who truly have this medical condition would be strongly against what’s going on in the trans community. For those wondering what we’re talking about this article is decent at explaining it.This isn't a Trans woman. Read beyond the headline ffs.
It's not the trans community here making a mockery of this competitor, but rather people too lazy or lacking the mental acuity to actually read into it, beyond their own lazy stereotyping or ramblings prevalent on Elon Musks X.The problem is that the trans community has made such a mockery of the people who actually have this medical condition.

What is DSD? The condition at the heart of the Imane Khelif Olympic boxing row - https://www.the-sun.com/news/12093108/what-is-dsd-differences-sex-development-imane-khelif/amp/
We can agree to disagree. I believe that if the trans community wasn’t shoving the idea that they get to choose what gender thay are is definitely muddying the waters. Especially when it comes to sports and choosing what restroom you use. If it wasn’t for that I think people would be more open to understanding the big picture.It's not the trans community here making a mockery of this competitor, but rather people too lazy or lacking the mental acuity to actually read into it, beyond their own lazy stereotyping or ramblings prevalent on Elon Musks X.
Imane Khelif is not transgender, was born a female and has competed as a female throughout her career, in which she has lost 9 times. The situation is certainly complex in relation to DSD's.
The waters are further muddied in relation to her initial banning from competition by the IBA. The IBA was stripped in 2023 by the IOC of its organisation of olympic boxing due to many opaque business practices. The IBA banned Khelif from the Women's World Championships following her victory over Russian boxer Azalia Amineva, with any test results never published, or the parameters of any tests described by the IBA. All we have is a statement by the IBA's Russian president Umar Kremlev given to a Russian media outlet saying she had XY chromosomes with no supporting evidence.
See, that's just plain wrong.Imane Khelif is not transgender, was born a female and has competed as a female throughout her career,
See, that's just plain wrong. Tests by the IBA, not released, with shifting information about the tests themselves.See, that's just plain wrong.
Tests showed XY chromosomes...that's MALE and no amount of verbal masturbation can ever change that
So now biology is Russian disinformation?This is plain ol' Russian agitprop
See, if you putIsn't a Trans-Am really just a Camaro?
I think it depends if it has x pipes for the exhaust or not.Isn't a Trans-Am really just a Camaro?
FascinatingSee, if you putlipstick on a piga decal on the hood, you now have something completely different. At least that's what some people want you to believe.
It's all very complicated. My meerschaum 'cutty' has just informed me that it is self identifying as a Dunhill Inner tube!
