Imane Khelif medical report reported in Reduxx

No surprises for the women of this board- we have seen it before.

Receiving such a diagnosis must have been very very tough but she had good, sensitive, compassionate medical advice which she chose to ignore. She must have known the truth would out and that the humiliation of the public discussing such private matters wouldn't make up for the high of the medal. I wonder if she's in denial? Or maybe being encouraged/ pushed by family and coaches? Or cynically in for whatever she can get?

I'm sad and angry at the path she has chosen. The images of a man punching a woman against a background of cheering crowds are the worst thing I've ever seen at the Olympics.

Wow! I am surprised!! Not. I just archived the French article (it was archived 3 days ago though).

Oh no shit, Sherlock.

However, much though I'd love to stick the Reduxx article up on my social media, I got slapped down last time I cited something on that site by two of my friends who thought it was 'a bit dodgy' (they are fully paid up TWAW) and now I just think - pffft. I'm tired of pointing out to friends who are entrenched in their blind Be Kind mindsets. I'll have to hope this news hits the media across the board and 'legitimises' it. (and they still won't believe it.)

Quite. Even if the story were to surface again in the wider media, they'd find some way to justify his participation. Which doubtless would conveniently ignore their previous justification that all claims of his being male were simply horrible lies. When you believe in fantasies you don't care about shifting the goal posts.

No shit.

Well done, Reduxx. I hope this gets blasted across all media and all those commenters who said he was a woman realise they were cheering for a bloke punching women in the face.

The problem is they don't care. If IK had been a TW they would have still let him beat up women. Still the more sunlight on this the better. Come on mainstream media, give this the oxygen of publicity.

I've just donated because Reduxx are the only news outlet who centre the rights of women and girls.

Confirmed what every sensible person knew all along...

He’s such a cheat. I hope his Olympic medal is stripped.

Oh what a surprise. Not. I'll be sending this to friends who told me it was a russian conspiracy and it was a shame on the "poor woman".

Despite me showing them the pictures that clearly showed it was a man. And how about Algerian Muslim woman would never have hugged her male coach to her chest or sat astride their shoulders. Then of course there was the picture of him training with an actual woman in her hijab (him of course with no hijab). Unclear what their chromosomes are my backside...

Thanks, @RadicalisedPastThePointOfSalvation
I have saved that.

All the authorities involved knew for certain that Khelif is male. But the principle of inclusion was more important than the safety and medal aspirations of women athletes.

Not everyone - several people I talked to about this had no idea, and in fact would not believe it.

What a bloody shock! Everyone knew this at the time, they just don’t care about women.

What a surprise!

Hope my friends who basically spurned me for even suggesting that he isn’t a woman read some more on this.
