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.

Um, you do realise, don't you, that males hit 167% harder than females?

Or did you truly not understand or know that males are stronger and overpower females easily?

Given Imane Khelif has lost some matches, there isn't a massive difference in strength between them and the top female boxers. Women boxers will be much stronger than the average women and probably the average man. As I said, women boxers have been killed after being punched by women.

Bollocks!

I agree that if its true its cheating, I agree that they should loose their medals, its definitely a scandal, should be investigated. But I also believe that publishing these details from a leaked, unconfirmed report is an affront to the dignity of all people. There is nothing like this outrage when boxers fail drug tests even though drugs make them stronger and more aggressive and definitely more likely to hurt an opponent. In reality, as far as I know (happy to be corrected) they haven't actually hurt any one more than boxing always hurts and damages people. No one that I can see online blames them for their retirement.

Thanks OP. Certainly no surprises here.

This was totally misrepresented. It was an appeal to the French authorities on the grounds of harassment. It wasn't a lawsuit as we would know it and JKR was not specified (or only as an example). It would have been up to the French authorities to involve her. Which presumably, they are too smart to do.

Ah, did not know that. Thank you

I can't see how it will affect anything until the Olympic Committee change their rules. The idiot-feminists will still support Khelif, they are totally on-board with the female penis, micro in this case.

SidewaysOtter · 04/11/2024 14:20

Well colour me fucking surprised, not just that he is a man but that it was known and covered up.

Of course, men's feelings and identities must come before women's safety and biological reality - to say otherwise makes us monsters Hmm

WetBandits · 04/11/2024 13:30

I still don’t agree with the witch hunt. If Khelif reasonably believed themselves to be female and had been brought up as female since birth without knowing about the chromosomal disorder, they were not acting as a man boxing against women. Intent counts here, I think.

If they knew and still competed, that is a different story.

Edited

One look in the mirror might have given "her" the answer

Hunglikeapolevaulter · 04/11/2024 14:20

Apparently it is not a problem if the person throwing the punch has an XX chromosome.

It's considerably fucking less of a problem in terms of risk, yes!

Personal feelings about boxing are irrelevant. Women competing against other women is up to them. Men boxing against unsuspecting women is abominable, or at least it is to most of us - not you though it would appear.

I see. You're one of those people who doesn't understand the massive difference in strength between men and women. being punched by another woman is just not comparable.

What everyone thinks about boxing as a sport is irrelevant. It exists as a competitive sport therefore the sporting authorities have a duty to fairness and safety as far as they possibly can.

Where to start with this.
You do understand in the first place why they have male and female sporting categories, right?

Are you seriously suggesting that exposing lies and cheating makes us monsters, but endangering women's lives doesn't?

'Won't you think of the poor men?'

No, no I won't.

What's monstrous is that you are defending a bloke who knew he was a cheating man and still decided to exploit his health condition to beat up women in the boxing ring.

Hunglikeapolevaulter · 04/11/2024 14:18

It’s disgusting that this person has complete randomers discussing such intimate details of their body like this. Aside from sports or medals, they deserve not to have this information out there so that User1234 from Nowhereville can smugly announce it online. Human decency seems totally lacking.

And you know how that could have been avoided? By not competing in a high profile women's contact sport.
Or are we all just look away, and pretend, while women get the shit beaten out of them and their medals stolen?
Be kind, just not to women.

Not remotely surprised.
Anyone know how he is getting on with taking JKR to court? 🤔

Unfortunately not, because by competing they accepted the IOC's rules.

Which are unconscionably wrong.

But would they have competed if they had known they were fighting a male?

An argument could be made they were lured to sign under false pretences and the fight wasn't fair, and there wasn't informed consent.

LOL you might talk this way too if you were standing in front of him in the boxing ring. Easy to be kind until you get punched in the face by a man.

What a pathetic response. As if that in any way addresses the issues of woman's rights and men cheating to steal women's medals.

Do you have a reputable source for this claim? That website you linked is clearly not a legitimate source.

It clearly is a very legitimate source. And all their articles have always been sourced with names, and never once has their credibility been called into question.

People would be outraged if I tried to identify into the under 10 boxing and beat up children. What, in reality, is the difference?

He's a cheat and he knows it. And so do the IOC.
