A leaked French medical report from 2023 has confirmed that Algerian boxer Imane Khelif is male.

Top endocrinologists found that Khelif has XY chromosomes, no uterus, internal testicles, and a "micropenis."

The report was drafted in June of 2023 via a collaboration between the Kremlin-Bicêtre hospital in Paris, France, and the Mohamed Lamine Debaghine hospital in Algiers, Algeria. Drafted by expert endocrinologists Soumaya Fedala and Jacques Young, the report reveals that Khelif is impacted by 5-alpha reductase deficiency, a disorder of sexual development that is only found in biological males.

They dont just say show us your blue badge

And even then, blue badges are incredibly difficult to get! And the interview for them could certainly be experienced as unpleasant and creepy (they observe and assess people before and after, not just during the interview) if not actually invasive.

Similarly the DWP will use covert surveillance on people claiming benefits for disability.

But of course when it's a special type of male with big wants, even women discussing the issue is called abusive

In the paralympics strict tests for disability classification are applied.

But again, not for sex.

They see no reason to hide their sexism and misogyny. I guess that's a powerful reason for erasing sex...so you can show your total contempt for women and their safety and opportunities while claiming you haven't been sexist because sex doesn't exist. It would be bigoted to make men compete as men, though.

Why does the female category even exist if men can enter it? Purely so men can claim to be women?

Surely in light of situations such as this the IOC have a duty of care to women to change their current practices in order to prevent a woman from EVER being in a fight with a man??!!!!

It's not the first time. The IOC knows the situation, it's allowed men to compete as women before, it doesn't give a shit. To my knowledge this is the first time it's happened in a sport where it actually endangers women, rather than running or weightlifting or archery, but the IOC knows exactly what's going on and doesn't care. Gutless, witless, misogynistic, worse than useless bastards.

Yes but that would be like you know logical wouldn't it 🤔

With my gyne-procedure history, I have limited sympathy for Rutherford’s, or the prostate-havers’, protestations of suffering undignified and invasive procedures.

Same.

And then some men started to cry about prostate exams...

But a cheek swab is hardly invasive compared to routine stuff like smear tests and mammograms that women endure in every day life.

As a lot of irritated women on Twitter pointed out in response to Adam Rutherford's wheedling nonsense.

Wow I didn't know that about urine testing. I have many questions about how the fuck that works in practice!!

Apparently it is undignified to have one’s sex category even questioned by those needing to verify category eligibility.

Just because he has a micropenis does not entitle him to beat up women and steal their sports prizes. Surely they will strip him of the medal he wrongly received now.

The IOC has a get out clause - they said quite clearly that they rely on 'gender' as seen on a passport, and that's what they did. So in their eyes they've done nothing wrong and I doubt they'll be giving medals back anytime soon. I hope they feel thoroughly ashamed but somehow I doubt it.

The IOC is captured by the gender ideologues and must be forced to bring back sex testing. We don't agreed with men in women's sports and the only way to stop it is if we clearly know who is a woman.

I'm a bit concerned about naked relay racing though.

Pass the baton could go horribly wrong

HaddyAbrams · 07/11/2024 22:05

DS2 thinks we should go back to how the Olympics were originally in ancient Greece. Naked men competing. He does think there should also be a female category.
It would be easy to see 99.9% of people's biological sex then!

I agree. If you are wanting to compete in a protected (female) criteria it’s fine for your eligibility to be questioned.

Or - like the majority of athletes want - they could bring back the screening cheek swab. And if you are XY and are androgen sensitive (have gone through a male puberty) you’re ineligible. Compete in the men’s category, or call it “open” or whatever.

Bearing in mind that in competition urinary drug testing means that the tester needs to actually see the urine leave the competitor’s urethra. If you’re competing at that level some aspects of privacy are overridden by the importance of fair competition.

Totally this. He's a man, and knows he is.

I think if you've put yourself in the shop window of the Olympics, your privacy regarding your chromosomes should be discounted.

Khelif is refusing to prove they are a woman because, well, he can't. if he was, he would and the furore would all go away.

As in, he doesn’t have internal testes and a micropenis but normal male genitalia?

Exactly
