To be glad that #IStandWithAngelaCarini is trending no.1 in the UK on X (Twitter)

[AngeloMysterioso]

Angela Carini is the incredibly brave Italian boxer who had her Olympic dream shattered in less than a minute after being punched in the face by Imane Khelif, a male competitor who was disqualified from the women’s World Championships last year because his testosterone levels were too high.
Everyone should be saying her name. Over and over and over again.

Try this. It may have been taken down tho

nails it

The two boxers who have previously 'failed a gender eligibility test' to use the phrase the BBC have just used probably have DSD's. The problem is this is their private medical information so it can't just be released to the public by authorities.
The IOC have also slapped restrictions on the press so they are limited in how they can report the situation.
The IOC also have form for allowing men who identify as women to participate in the women's category so there is a degree of guess work and speculation.

Whilst I don’t believe this person should be boxing in a ring as a woman it is worth noting that out of 14 professional matches they have lost 5 of them (according to their Wiki page). That means women have beaten this man in a boxing ring on at least 5 occasions.

the person today is so i heard intersex, the same as Castor, when Castor was just running!
this is appalling for olympic boxing

THEY ARE NOT INTERSEX, HE IS A MAN!

There is nothing remotely transphobic in this debate.

I don't understand anyone thinking this is okay. Particularly any transwoman. Why would any one wishing to identify as a woman wish for women to have the shit kicked out of them by men???

Anyone that thinks there is anything remotely okay with thinking it's acceptable for biological men to beat up biological women is so messed up in the head, they deserve no right to express their opinion.

This! I completely agree.

The best news source on this so far is Reduxx, especially their Twitter page.

There are multiple reasons not to take this as gospel. Even the wiki founder says don't believe everything written on it as anybody can edit it.

I suggest you read the other 1,000 post thread where other reasons has been explained by more knowledgeable people.

Just because they haven't won every fight doesn't mean they don't have an advantage.

Doesn't matter. They've taken a spot of a woman who should rightfully be there but couldn't because of a cheating man.

Sky making a desperate attempt at being impartial - the bare facts still show how FUCKING INSANE this is.

I can't quite verbalise how angry and upset I am on behalf of Angela Carini and all other women in sports being stolen by men.

What can I do with this anger? I feel like I'm going to fucking explode.

There are a fucking million other skills they could learn that DO NOT INVOLVE PUNCHING WOMEN or COMPETING AGAINST THEM IN WOMENS SPORTS.

This is absolutely appalling.
What can we do about this? I would happily go to a protest.

apologies @hepsitemiz - I wasn't shouting at you!

I'm just so furious with the IOC and everyone else that condones, enables and promotes this.

definitely.

Me too.

We do know this. That isn’t in dispute even by the men themselves

And possession of a penis is what makes you male and having gone through puberty makes you potentially stronger and faster than females that is the whole point of having segregated events.

I'm sorry, I do not think Angela was "brave", I think every female boxer should have boycotted the Olympics and refused to fight in the first place.
I am not a rabid anti trans "feminist" but this decision to allow it was lunacy.

I take issue with your repeated use of the term Olympians. It’s overwhelmingly unlikely that they would be ‘Olympians’ if they had been competing in the correct category against others of the same sex. They reached the level of Olympian through cheating.

No worries beans I totally get your anger! I feel the same way actually.

The more I think about that s,the more details strike me: how DARE he pat her on the back to comfort her!!! F**k off!!! My sympathy for this sort of thing has been running out for a while,this has made it go completely. Life's not fair, you (at best) have a DSD, so competitive sport against women is not for you. And if you still persist,then I don't have to hold back on my view that you put a women beater, using male advantages to do so.

Kaylia Nemour a trans woman is doing very well in the women's gymnastics at the moment too, she has a very male physique and strength.

How's that fair though, they've worked their whole lives for this? The IOC created this shitshow, they should be fixing it.

Are you actually 12? 😵‍💫
