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.

A female boxer was made to apologise for objecting to fighting a male by the IOC and we are a “nasty bunch of witches” for finding that objectionable.

What term would you use for all the men in official roles in the IOC that facilitated that happening? I can think of a few!

Nasty bunch of witches.

Did you just assume our gender?

Trust me, I'd love to say worse!

Good, solid post there. Really well substantiated and articulate. You owned us all, absolutely.

Don't let the door, etc etc.

He/she can't possibly have gone through male puberty. Without modern medical investigations there would be no way of knowing he was not a women.

You really think he made it all the way to the Olympics and he, and everyone around him failed to notice he was developing abnormally for a girl?
Pull the other one.
Why are you playing dumb?

Has this been confirmed to be true? I’m wary of fake news

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.

Oh we'd much prefer not to have to discuss intimate details about his body. If only he'd stayed out of women's sport, problem solved.

I'm trying to work out if this is sarcasm.

OuterSpaceCadet · 04/11/2024 20:24

It's fascinating that this case was always so important to trans ideology believers. All along there's been the same old celebrity misogynists virtue signalling their allyship on twitter and the same old incoherent posts on MN scolding women for their tone and refusing to engage in discussion.

The thing is, this shows they, like feminists, were certain IK was male from the offset. Otherwise it would have held no relevance as IK said at the time they weren't trans.

But instead of defending their actual beliefs (that any man with woman feelings is entitled to anything for women and that sex is irrelevant), they all colluded with IK's lies and slurred women for speaking the truth even through they agreed with half of what we were saying!

Why did they do that? I would love to know what it is about trans ideology that has supposedly normal people willing to give up any shred of logic and integrity in the service of it.

How about by looking at him?
We can tell, some people with certain agendas would like to say we can't but we can. Even when everyone wore masks we could tell

So, if your daughter grew up to look like this image, you would assume all was perfectly normal?

Have you seen human beings?

I followed the whole article from the link OP provided.
It's complicated. If you can read it in the orginal French do so, it's clearer.
https://lecorrespondant.net/imane-khelif-ni-ovaires-ni-uterus-mais-des-testicules/

It's not black or white really. He/she seems neither one or the other.
I agree that they probably shouldn't be boxing as a woman, but also I am uncomfortable with the witch hunt. I've been to that part of Algeria- it is poor and is socially quite conservative (unlike Algiers where you see girls in jeans and t-shirts), and as others have said, they were brought up as a girl, not a boy.

Yes, a socially conservative area, where "traditionally only boys would play outside, and girls would rarely leave their homes.
Imane’s sporting talent was discovered by a local boxing coach as she was playing football in the street with boys. Khelif was apparently talent-spotted while playing in the street with boys."

So what was this "girl" doing playing football in the street with boys?

So many of the arguments on here about this person are so hypocritical. Lots of
postwrs saying they act like man, smirk and swagger like a man etc, should look in the mirror as of course they are a man. It implies women can’t have swagger or smirk or be arrogant or look masculine. And maybe the biological truth is that they are a man, but saying you knew all along because ‘he acts like a man’ is bullshit when you argue the opposite when it suits ‘just because they act or look like a woman, doesn’t make them a woman’

WestwardHo1 · 04/11/2024 20:38

Again, why do some people insist that sexual dimorphism is not a thing in humans?

How do they imagine humans find mates if they can't tell what sex other humans are by looking at them? Given that we don't go round sniffing each others bums, for example.

I'm pretty sure people believed from day one that Khelife is a male, because he is an absolute unit.

You do get bigger built women of course, but generally, not like this. They still have softer features.

Men and women move differently and hold themselves differently, thats a fact.
I have seen plenty of butch lesbians and plenty of gay men who act in a way that could be considered effeminate and I have never been unsure of their sex.

Propaganda and brainwashing that's been subtly going on for decades then ramped up to insane heights in the last 10 years.

do you disagree with?

Those are two definitions of the word act which can mean different things depending on the context
