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.

Until it's unavoidable, and then it will be the TERFs fault for being bad people who were right for the wrong reasons, causing the good people to have mistakenly been wrong, but only wrong for right and good reasons.

This is EXACTLY how it's going to play out. Perfectly expressed.

Yes, I reckon that's where we'll probably end up.

Given Khelif was brought up as a woman don't you think it more likely that they know how women in Algeria are expected to dress and act?

Given that he was outside playing football with the boys, I doubt very much he was brought up as a woman or girl.

Not all Muslim women wear a headscarf🙄 if being carried by unrelated men wasn't considered appropriate in Algeria I am sure they wouldn't do that either. It would be pretty stupid given the controversy don't you think?

Given that it was so important to Algeria that they won a gold medal - at any costs - I genuinely doubt they cared. Yeah, some of their fellow countrymen (and women) may have had pause for thought when they saw Khelif mounting the shoulders of men, I think they just ignored it even if they didn't in their gut know. Winning a gold medal for their country meant everything. They would collectively lie to themselves to celebrate.

More coverage here.

Hopefully everyone will now agree that the IOC has to reinstate sex testing

Why do we need sex testing when the women on here can just tell from watching them walk and the shape of their body?

I’m not denying that he is biologically, physically male. But how easy do you think it would be, given that he has been brought up female and thinking he is female, to suddenly start living as a man?

I cannot imagine it would be easy.

But I don't understand how that justifies what he did.

elgreco · 05/11/2024 17:16

Sex testing is conclusive, unintrusive and will remove non females from women's sports and avoid public debate.

Because nobody listens to women.

TheKeatingFive · 05/11/2024 17:24

I'm very much in favour of sex testing.

Everyone will benefit from an objective system with no room for ambiguity.

Why? Because every athlete deserves to go through a scientifically proven and reliable process to verify their eligibility into a specific sports category and then have the ability to appeal the result.

That requires sex testing.

How trustworthy is Reduxx?

Helleofabore · 05/11/2024 17:30

Wouldn't it be fucking lovely if women around the world didn't have to discuss whether a person is male or female?

How fucking privileged is someone who can snipe from the sidelines on this issue for whatever their motivation while the rest of us have to be the ones to be demonised and vilified?

Because the IOC has chosen to prioritise male people repeatedly since 1999!

Feelingathomenow · 05/11/2024 17:37

So basically the IOC is ok with men hitting women in order to placate men. He needs to be stripped of his medals. The IOC needs to change its standards to enable them to identify these cases.

PotatoLove · 05/11/2024 17:43

Then HE needs to give his medals back. It was obviously a man and yet, they still allowed him to fight women smh.

Considering they were the women who broke the story all the way back in August 2024 and nothing they have reported on this story has ever been even countered by the IOC or Khelif and team, you can draw your own conclusions.

All the IOC and Khelif's team did was emphasise the IOC's regulations and how what was reported didn't change eligibility. Nothing they released was inconsistent to Reduxx's articles.

Helleofabore · 05/11/2024 17:50

Imagine a world where male people simply respected that they were not female people and never attempted to transgress into areas and opportunities that were specifically set up for only female people.

And yet, women who report on this, who discuss this to disseminate or gather information so they can effectively campaign to protect these spaces and opportunities are vilified and demonised. And those doing the vilification and demonisation seem to believe that they are righteous....

It is a real WTAF moment for anyone reading who has not seen the dynamic. But we have seen it very clearly on this thread.

Question is, why do so many people feel good about supporting male people to be prioritised over female people?

"Women, find some evidence or it's nonsense."

<<Women find and report evidence>>

"I'm not trusting that source, it's from women!"

Really hope Sebastian Coe sorts this shit out by 2028! Let’s not have a repeat of this years Olympic Games and past games!

Sex testing needs to be up there alongside drugs testing. NO male athlete, should ever be allowed to compete in women’s sports and that includes the Paralympic Games! 😡

Because then we wouldn't need to scrutinise their walk and body shape because they wouldn't be there in the first place! Then the women athletes would be competing fairly, they wouldn't lose out on their hard won places, medals and sponsorships. Happy days. I won't hold my breath though.

The Olympic committee need to stand down.
