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.

It will be interesting to hear what Imane has to say about this article. Will Imane call there bluff?

They aren't bluffing.

Khleif has talked about how shameful it is for him to be slurred as trans - he's a proper transphobe.

The way this poor woman has been treated by absolute loser transphobes is reprehensible. I wish her well.

Good to see you think he's a man too. Solidarity.

He's not trans and has never claimed to be trans.

He's a biological man claiming to be a woman.

He isn't trans. He thinks people calling him trans are disrespecting his family and country, and that it is a shameful accusation.

But it's women here that are 'loser transphobes'? Okay then😂

Not a boxer, I could never be violent to another being (unfortunately! I might not have been walked all over as a child/young adult if I had a natural propensity for violence 😞)

I was punched by a woman in a Sunderland nightclub because I picked up my male friend off the floor (after he was headbutted by her boyfriend and she didn't take kindly to me helping him). I was also punched (more than once, again unfortunately) by my ex husband. I've been physically assaulted by a couple of men and a couple of women in various ways and there is a world of difference in force and technique. I'd pick the woman over the man every time. Less damage.

Shit, so sorry you experienced this.

Wishing you better luck in future!!!! 💗

It’s shameful isn’t it? Regardless of who wins in competitions, his inclusion is denying a place for a woman. A woman who has trained hard for the privilege.
As for right to privacy, if he’d fought in the men’s events, we’d probably be none the wiser so privacy maintained

If he was competing in men's boxing, we would certainly never have heard about it, as clearly he is nowhere near good enough to compete in men's elite events. Just good enough to smack around some women.

NonPlayerCharacter · 04/11/2024 19:08

Women who stand up for their rights have always been accused of just hating men. In current context, this is all "transphobia" is. It's just a new word for the same old shit.

But why should women not be scared of men who think they should be allowed to box them? That's quite genuinely scary. That's why one woman conceded the match. She should indeed have been scared. She was up against a man.

This person is not Trans, why are you bringing Trans into it?

So, you agree he was born male? Otherwise, what’s transphobia got to do with it?

JaneJeffer · 04/11/2024 19:03

They obviously don't think he's a woman otherwise they wouldn't accuse people of transphobia

And of course Khelif is adamant that Khelif is not trans and that to call Khelif trans is grossly insulting.

Wrong thread

but someone can have 5ard2 and still be able to produce viable sperm.

Caster Semenya, another 5ard2 athlete has fathered a child I believe.

Phrases like this:
Alpha 5 reductase type 2” deficiency, a genetic anomaly which leads to metabolic dysfunction in testosterone and dehydroandrosterone”.

Show quote history

Normal sexual development, like all aspects of biological development, depends upon hormones working properly - being produced in the right amounts at the right time. In 5ard2, there's a problem with one of the systems regulating this. This means that people with XY chromosomes (biological males) can have a range of issues with how their bodies develop. It doesn't change their genes. They may not all look phenotypically male, but their genes and other aspects of their physiology remain biologically male, including many aspects of male pubertal development. Fertility issues are common, but someone can have 5ard2 and still be able to produce viable sperm.

I fainted from shock when I heard the news and I've only just come round.
