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.

No you've only barely understood the very surface level of the argument.

Women aren't inherently demure, sitting inside etc. We are socialised by patriarchal societies to varying degrees. It can be very difficult to break free, especially in deeply conservative societies. It can be dangerous to break free.

Physical strength differences are inherent, of course.

Feminists support women having any personality, any presentation, any occupation etc. That doesn't mean pretending that women have the same life experiences as men or that all women have free choice, especially in extreme patriarchies.

And maybe the biological truth is that they are a man

Yes, that is the point.

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.

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.

Edited

Surely that poster was being sarcastic?

Ereshkigalangcleg · 04/11/2024 20:55

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!

Yes, it's very telling.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 04/11/2024 20:57

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

The fake news is claiming that Imane Khelif is female, in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary from a variety of sources.

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’

Men and women come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. Feminists have been shouting from the rooftops for years that short hair "masculine features" don't make a woman less female. You know what does make someone not a female though... a penis and testes.

I actually hope your post doesn't get deleted, as it portrays your attitude towards women who won't do and say what you want them to, far more eloquently than anyone else could put it. Pure, aggressive hatred

I agree. I hope it doesn’t either. Says a lot doesn’t it!

Yes, but this person is not a big person. 11- 12 stone, not extraordinarily tall for a woman. Muscular, but all women boxers are. No Adam’s apple that I could perceive. So are you saying that you can tell by looking that they have statistically more muscle than a woman could ever have? I personally feel that mannerisms are an unreliable indicator of biological sex, so how do you know?

Yes that’s true. But given that none of us have seen the cock and balls (I assume) and no report said this person had them before, how were so many (feminist?) posters on this thread so convinced before the report than they are a man?

Do you understand the process of puberty?

If you do then the evidence of your own eyes will confirm that he has indeed gone through puberty to transform from a boy to a man.

Hoppinggreen · 04/11/2024 21:06

We know because we have to for safety and reproduction purposes.
A man could be 5ft tall and skinny and a woman could be 6ft and muscular and I would know which was which.

The average height for males is Algeria is 169.7cm, and for females is 158.5cm.
Khelif is very nearly 20cm (well over 7 and a half inches) taller than the average Algerian woman.

Pretty tall for an Algerian man, too.

If you have read the whole thread then this has already been answered.

Chersfrozenface · 04/11/2024 21:10

Also, in professional boxing, the current WBO and WBA men's welterweight (same category, approx 63–67 kg) champion, Terence Crawford, is 173cm tall.
The current WBC men's welterweight champion, Mario Barrios, is 178cm tall.
The current IBF men's welterweight champion, Jaron Ennis, is 178cm tall.

Khelif at 178cm is bang on in comparison with male boxers in the same weight category.

At the London Olympics, the men's medallists were 179cms (gold), 180cms (silver) and 179cms (bronze).

So Khelif is also bang on for height in the men's Olympic welterweight class.

But given that none of us have seen the cock and balls (I assume) and no report said this person had them before, how were so many (feminist?) posters on this thread so convinced before the report than they are a man?

The tests carried out by his team indicated he has male testosterone levels which can only be produced at that level naturally by testes.

RufustheFactuaIReindeer · 04/11/2024 21:12

It's alright though, because unlike the other venom on here that I repeatedly report and is REPEATEDLY left to stand, my comment will get deleted

thats because your posts are personal attacks against mumsnet users…its really not a difficult concept

Babies as young as 6 months - some even say 3 months - are able to detect biological sex.

We might not have known 100% for sure, but its gaslighting on another level for so many around the world to have suspected maleness and bash them for adhering to what is a hardwired evolutionary trait.

Because the International Boxing Association previously banned him from competing because he failed their eligibility tests to compete as female. Both IK and the other male boxer who went on to compete and win at the Paris Olympics failed to challenge the ban. Because they couldn't because it was true.

They knew. We all knew. It's only because the idiots at the IOC have a policy of letting men compete in women's sport if they have a passport that says F (very easy for any man to get).

I have read the thread and all
the different view points. What part of what I’ve written suggests I haven’t. What part
do you disagree with?

The fact that you've completely ignored the biological facts and proof of them and are repeating the same old "you just can't handle women not being typically feminine" literal bollocks that two other people tried and failed to weaponise already. You'll be on about Serena Williams next.

Again, why are posters constantly dragging trans issues into this, when that isn't what's being discussed?

That aside, you're looking at that image and dying on the hill that that's a woman?

Because of the other evidence that when stacked up tells everyone what their eyes already know. That is a photo of a man.

In fact I truly believe biological facts are facts, I just don’t believe you can tell biological facts by mannerism or appearance. And suggesting that you can is dangerously limiting. I look like a man and act like a man, I must be a man.
