Surprisingly clear news article from Australia re XY humans competing at Olympics in female sports

[StealthSpinach]

I was extremely surprised to see such a clear, well articulated article in an Australian newspaper.

I was not surprised to see TWAW from IOC representatives.

I truly hope the article writers (named on the website) do not get abuse and vitriol - although I doubt that will be the case, unfortunately.

I do hope the writers publish any abuse they do receive.

If any females are physically or otherwise hurt by males (XY/DSD inclusive), I hope every TWAW IOC official endorsing their inclusion is held responsible.

They are cisgendered women who failed the initial gender testing, yes it can happen.

And Yes I know people with gender critical beliefs dislike the 30 year old term cisgendered, but it's use is appropriate here to clarify they are not men or trans.

It's sex testing and only men fail it. Gender is irrelevant.

No they are men.

I am a sociologist of gender who examines the epistemic politics of “sex” and “gender” across diverse institutional contexts. I am particularly interested in how notions of “biological sex” and “sex difference” become embedded in gender equity projects in sport and biomedicine, and with what consequences. By examining how policymakers, scientists, and (certain) feminists seek to enact “sex,” I show how “it” emerges as elusive and ambiguous and always entangled with gender, race, nation, and other socially meaningful forms of difference.

Quite clearly from the Judith Butler school of sematic obfuscation.

They are males with DSD's of the XY variety.

Female people don't fail 'gender testing'. All it takes is a cheek swab for nearly every case. However, female people will fail 'performance drug' testing. Those performance drug using female people will be the only female athletes to fail a 'gender test' due to 'high testosterone'.

What part of this do you simply not understand after thread upon thread that you have posted on about this topic of male athletes in female sports categories?

Let me just repost this chart. It obviously needs to be posted every couple of pages on these threads.

Can anyone explain what authority the IOC actually have over the worldwide media?

Surely the media don't actually answer to the IOC and can report whatever they like?

With all information available and the fact they have competed before, they are permitted to continue competing.

I'm sure the people who make the decisions at the Olympics know better than any of us.

Not on this sub forum, where the words "women" and "female" will suffice.

Trans women are not women and they are not female.

Then why are they making such terrible decisions?

simply put, there are two main organs in the body that produce testosterone, namely the ovaries and the testes. only testes are valent of producing really high male levels of testosterone, and without exception all of these athletes who've been identified as 'intersex' have healthy functioning testes and no ovaries at all.

Just conjecture, but if the IOC sell the TV rights to broadcasters and issue entry passes to journalists to be present at events, then those broadcast rights and passes may have conditions attached?

The IOC are as corrupt and untrustworthy now as the U.N.

That goes without saying, but what authority do they actually have over the media?

Then that's something that needs blowing wide open.

The IOC is the owner of the global media rights for the Olympic Games – including broadcasts on television, radio and digital platforms – and is responsible for allocating Olympic media rights to media companies throughout the world through the negotiation of media rights agreements.

“These are Games that truly inspire and excite us, urging OBS to push the boundaries, not only in our broadcasting, but also in the way we convey the stories of athletes, sports, the city and the host country.”
Yiannis Exarchos, CEO, OBS

Presumably it's a similar authority as the trans lobby groups who were allowed to write the trans guidelines for the UK media to ensure they uncritically report trans issues according to their own demands?

I keep waiting for the press to start reporting accurately and it's starting but there's still to much "she" for men etc.

Someone needs to whistle blow on this.

I know we can't expect the BBC to take a principled stand.

But just imagine what would happen if the BBC reported on this issue, got its rights revoked, and then said, "Sorry viewers, you'll get no more coverage of the Olympics because we got banned for telling you that the IOC lets men compete in women's categories, including in the boxing which is clearly dangerous."

Just imagine.

I suspect that the IOC also had something to do with the over-emphasis on 'Queer' in the opening ceremony.

They are utterly captured and corrupt.

The IOC is the owner of the global media rights for the Olympic Games – including broadcasts on television, radio and digital platforms – and is responsible for allocating Olympic media rights to media companies throughout the world through the negotiation of media rights agreements.

Olympic Broadcasting Services
Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS) is responsible for providing the international television and radio signals from the Games to all Media Rights-Holders around the world. The IOC established OBS in 2001 to serve as the permanent host broadcaster for the Olympic Games, eliminating the need to continually rebuild the broadcast operation for each edition of the Games. OBS ensures that the high standards of Olympic Games coverage are consistently maintained from one edition of the Games to the next.

They control all the rights and provide all the signals?

Fuck me.

You just need to say women.

Can someone point me to where it says they're not allowed to report on this?

I know the IOC seem to control everything, but where have they said and because of that, we're censoring this issue.
