She could have put this to bed by sharing DNA tests. I'm struggling to feel sympathy, although it must be horrid.

What I find interesting with Swyer's is if people think it's a female DSD, but called Imane Khelif 'a man' and 'he' once we knew he had XY chromosomes but before confirmation of his high testosterone, which he lowered, it's a concession that we can actually tell who has been through male puberty and will have male advantage by looking at them.

Yes it's only recently we've had to pretend we can't tell the difference between an adult male human and an adult female human with our eyes.

Here you go.

Can you clarify please - the uber-femme photo on the right was not put out by anybody connected with Khelif, right? I've never seen a photo of Khelif trying to look anything other than sporty.
The internet being the internet, I can imagine that image being circulated as proof positive that IK is a gurl, or proof positive that his entourage will use deepfake to maintain the cheating..
If that was you having a bit of filter fun, PatatiPatatras, can you state it clearly, please?

If you right click on the 2nd image and use Google Lens you can see where the image is from (IK's own video).

The New York Post takes the video seriously.
https://nypost.com/2024/08/15/sports/olympic-boxer-imane-khelif-unveils-new-look-in-video/
and provides a link to the beauty.code.officiel account on Instagram (which apparently has 484,000 followers) where it was published.

PatatiPatatras · 16/08/2024 13:20

I don't do any kind of filtering for anyone. Not even myself.

Someone, presumably ik approved since he's in it wearing his medal, put up a video of IK with the slogan "beauty code". Someone else asked to see what was going on because they can't "see twitter".

Not my onions why. I pick 2 stills from the same video. Ik starts with a boxing stance and finishes in earrings. I don't know why and I don't really care. They are summaries of the video as far as I can see as that's all there is to the video.

If you don't like or trust the snapshots I took to show what was going on in the other parts of the universe, do it yourself! Twitter is open to everyone I was only trying to help out.

Chersfrozenface · 16/08/2024 14:46

And if you can get on Instagram, go to beauty.code.officiel and click on the top left thumbnail of IK.

Bit off-topic, but this is irritating and I daren't out myself by answering on Twitter. 😆

That stalker dude WizardingNews is claiming JK's books aren't in the top 100 on the American Amazon children's book chart. (WN is very pleased about JK's recent silence on Twitter which he thinks is linked to Khelif's legal action.)

I just checked. She's at number #6. https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Children's-Books/zgbs/books/4 WN's screenshot cuts off at five.

Why do these guys rely so heavily on lies? :(

Occam's Razor etc. Let's not overlook WN's plausible lack of comprehension and numeracy.

Thanks, PatatiPatatras, I was genuinely confused about the provenance of that photo, no offence intended. Thank you for the explanation.

It's awful,isn't it?! Firstly, it's totally unconvincing. Secondly, Khelif won't be able to carry off that image in person. Thirdly, I preferred the Sporty Spice look, personally. Fourthly - remember our Essence of Woman perfume? well I think we've found the perfect image for the ad campaign..

A reminder.. thanks, WitchyWitcherson

When I first saw the beauty code video of Khelif on X I assumed it had been faked.

Catsmere · 16/08/2024 22:19

The more I see of this man, the more I think "another fucking creep".

PatatiPatatras · 16/08/2024 23:25

Funny how the ruddy essence of woman does not start with driving the least sexy mummy taxi after hoovering, changing sheets, laundry, dishes, lunch boxes, calling mil because hubby never gets round to it and a full day of corporate life most likely without makeup because you never got round to it.
No it's always the bloody dresses and the make up they reach for first. the only other time I've seen a different version of it was breastfeeding and washing baby bottles.beurk.

Ugh.

Catsmere · 16/08/2024 23:28

Yep, pornsick fetishism all the way.

annejumps · 17/08/2024 02:12

Was scrolling through Reddit and saw a post from r/clevercomebacks with a screenshot of someone quote-Tweeting a headline on JKR saying that she would "'happily' serve prison time for her transphobic views" and adding "For the first time in my life I want her to be happy."
Prison time for views... and these are the 'good guys'

Catsmere · 17/08/2024 02:49

It's only ever women these male misogynists poor helpless oh-so-vulnerable laydees want locked up, I notice.

But it's not a male supremacist movement at all.
