Not fair at all. This needs to stop.

Obligatory post that reminds everybody she is not transgender and was born female. She has a blood disorder which gives her unusually high testosterone levels and she has had it her whole life. She does not want to become confused for or used as the voice or transgender athletes.

Why was Imane Khelif allowed to compete at the Olympics?

A victory against Angela Carini in the women’s welterweight boxing sparked a largely misinformed debate in the sports world.

By all metrics used by people who don’t support transgender ideology and state your born sex organs define your gender, she would be considered female as she was, without dispute, born with female genitalia.

Khelif is not a transgender athlete. She was born female but has a disorder of sex development (DSD) that results in XY chromosomes and testosterone levels similar to those of male athletes.

Of course biology matters in sport – this video proves it

Angela Carini pulled out of her fight with Imane Khelif after 46 seconds. How can the IOC allow something as violent and unfair as this?

Very interesting indeed.

That statement doesn't read right to me, the DSD did not result in XY chromosomes, the DSD resulted in the XY chromosomes not causing there usual outcomes, didn't cause them. Maybe below says it better

She has disorder of sex development (DSD) that despite having XY chromosomes and testosterone levels similar to those of male athletes, has female primary organs and was duly categorized as a female.

Personally, I do not know enough about this person, but it didn't look like a fair fight. However IMHO if someone has functioning testees, that are producing male level of testosterone, then despite any other characteristics, they should have to fight in the male category.

And she doesn’t. Her sex organs are female.

And she doesn’t. Her sex organs are female.

Her hormones are on par with that of a male athlete.

I was told that it’s not hormones, internal genetic makeup, or chromosomes that decide gender. If you have a vagina, you’re a woman. A penis, you’re a man. She has a vagina, she is a woman. It’s decided at birth and can’t be changed or in flux.

Still does not change the fact that this was not a fair competition. Everyone knows it. She is teeming with testosterone. But I’m not going to argue it. Facts are facts.

You have to pick a side of the stream. Either genetic makeup matters to categorizing gender manifestations or it doesn’t, and biology is dictated by physical sex organs in which case you’re victimizing a woman who’s just at the top of her sport by telling her she isn’t actually enough of a female to compete with other women.

What makes a stallion vs gelding, ram vs wether...

It is the testees and their production of testosterone.

As I said, I do not know the medical situation, but having functioning testees is what gives the physical advantage. (Even if they are undescended)

She is not your average woman biologically. She’s been turned down for competition before.

Oh, so there are biological reasons one could physically be female but chemically and hormonal more male? Do tell.

I would suggest you look up her condition. I’m just learning about it myself. I mean, there is physical evidence in her case. Which is lacking the trans community, etc.

 

[Michie]

Khelif has XY chromosomes unlike women who have XX chromosomes.

Imane Khelif is NOT biological woman, watching her beat opponent was sickening

IT was a sickening, heart-rending sight. Just half a minute into her Olympic bout against an Algerian boxer, Italy’s Angela Carini was punched so hard in the face that she quit the fight. Later, sh…

So gender is irrefutably gender unless it’s one of those scenarios where it isn’t, then it isn’t, and it never is with the segment of people you don’t like.

Got it.

Sorry, hard to keep up with what to believe when the goal post keeps getting moved.
