Surprisingly clear news article from Australia re XY humans competing at Olympics in female sports

I have never really read the sports section of the newspaper, is it common for an article to be authored by four jounalists?
I'm just wondering if they're trying to make it harder for the IOC (or even activists) to sideline and penalise them. One of those journalists is with the Courier Mail, two are with the Australian, and one is editor at large with the Daily Telegraph (Sydney News Corp paper).
I think News Corp are indicating that they'll back their journos on this. But maybe I'm being optimistic.

Does anyone know what powers the IOC have to enforce their reporting guidelines?

I assume they could withdraw access rights from individual journalists or even whole media organisations (I can't see them.doing the latter- it would draw far more attention to the issue). But it seems unlikely they would have any wider sanctions available.

I'm assuming the Algerian is Muslim, however nominally, and I'd understood that Islam considers it shameful for a man to pretend to be a woman.

This used to get my back up because I focused on the 'woman equals shame' bit, but now I think I'm starting to see the reasoning behind it.

A difference of sex development. A medical condition.

In the case of some male athletes, such as those with 5ARD, they may have been categorised as girls when they were born because they might have a malformed penis and they could have a short vagina, with undescended testes. This is the documented condition that Caster Semenya has. Those athletes go through male puberty though if they still retain their testes and have normal male hormone combinations and testosterone levels.

Ah. A true believer. In that case, her quotes are disingenuous and promote misinformation. How unethical!

Sorry what is DSD please?

I just can't believe the official argument is that their passports show an "F for Female"!

Exactly so, unfortunately.

Sall Grover has started a weekly twitter podcast, one of the aims of which is to platform the women who are fighting all this nonsense, to try to counter the visibility of the women like Madeleine Pape who are colluding. Male social commentators are starting to get it (a few got it all along) and are speaking about it - as in this article - but because their voices are amplified over women's, it will be framed as men saving these silly women from themselves.

We don’t know they are DSD.

Maybe the journalists have the belief that News Limited will stand up for them against any attempt at pushback from the IOC.

I would be surprised if Fox has not/ will not soon be vocal on this particular story. Have they done segments on this yet?

She was instrumental in a complaint to Jon Pike’s uni about Pike’s views on male athletes in female sport’s categories.

sorry, I am on my phone so it is too hard to cut and paste for those without Twitter.

I believe she is informed, she chooses to not accept the evidence. I think I have seen Dr Hilton discuss this with her on Twitter. She has direct access to people who can go through it all in depth. She has chosen to deny the evidence.

I grew up reading it. It is part of News Limited so I expect that article will ripple through all of the News Limited state level newspapers, maybe even in ‘the Australian’ in some version, maybe spliced by other journos.

It really is about time that journalists started saying words that mean the things they mean rather than the opposite and hoping people interpret it the right way.

Madeleine Pape sounds woefully uninformed. She needs to read the more recent literature on male advantage post-transition before spouting off in the media.

These reporters may have decided if they’re going to be sanctioned by the IOC for wrongspeak anyway they may as well report as explicitly and clearly as possible.

We have to hope that they realise that this is too big a story to sit on, especially because it's boxing.
If one or two media outlets step out of line, others may follow for fear of being scooped.

Shame on you, Madeleine Pape and the IOC.

Are journalists becoming fed up at having been gagged by IOC on reporting this? There are two things happening .. DSD athletes competing (newsworthy). IOC setting in place media guidelines to stop this being clearly reported.

Are we seeing clear explanations because of the media restrictions? Journalists may have to defend later against IOC actions against them?

I watched some clips of the Algerian guy beating his female opponent, earlier. It was absolutely awful, how these moronic ideologues can see that and go, "Yup, all fine." is absolutely beyond me. They wouldn't let a heavyweight fight a welterweight, for almost exactly the same reasons.
