What a surprise!

Hope my friends who basically spurned me for even suggesting that he isn’t a woman read some more on this.

What a bloody shock! Everyone knew this at the time, they just don’t care about women.

Not everyone - several people I talked to about this had no idea, and in fact would not believe it.

Thanks, @RadicalisedPastThePointOfSalvation
I have saved that.

All the authorities involved knew for certain that Khelif is male. But the principle of inclusion was more important than the safety and medal aspirations of women athletes.

Oh what a surprise. Not. I'll be sending this to friends who told me it was a russian conspiracy and it was a shame on the "poor woman".

Despite me showing them the pictures that clearly showed it was a man. And how about Algerian Muslim woman would never have hugged her male coach to her chest or sat astride their shoulders. Then of course there was the picture of him training with an actual woman in her hijab (him of course with no hijab). Unclear what their chromosomes are my backside...

He’s such a cheat. I hope his Olympic medal is stripped.

Yes I definitely saw social media posts/stories with outrage for this “poor woman”, often amongst people who would never normally post on that kind of thing so it definitely had “cut through” as they say.

Confirmed what every sensible person knew all along...

I've just donated because Reduxx are the only news outlet who centre the rights of women and girls.

The problem is they don't care. If IK had been a TW they would have still let him beat up women. Still the more sunlight on this the better. Come on mainstream media, give this the oxygen of publicity.

No shit.

Well done, Reduxx. I hope this gets blasted across all media and all those commenters who said he was a woman realise they were cheering for a bloke punching women in the face.

Quite. Even if the story were to surface again in the wider media, they'd find some way to justify his participation. Which doubtless would conveniently ignore their previous justification that all claims of his being male were simply horrible lies. When you believe in fantasies you don't care about shifting the goal posts.

Oh no shit, Sherlock.

However, much though I'd love to stick the Reduxx article up on my social media, I got slapped down last time I cited something on that site by two of my friends who thought it was 'a bit dodgy' (they are fully paid up TWAW) and now I just think - pffft. I'm tired of pointing out to friends who are entrenched in their blind Be Kind mindsets. I'll have to hope this news hits the media across the board and 'legitimises' it. (and they still won't believe it.)

Wow! I am surprised!! Not. I just archived the French article (it was archived 3 days ago though).

No surprises for the women of this board- we have seen it before.

Receiving such a diagnosis must have been very very tough but she had good, sensitive, compassionate medical advice which she chose to ignore. She must have known the truth would out and that the humiliation of the public discussing such private matters wouldn't make up for the high of the medal. I wonder if she's in denial? Or maybe being encouraged/ pushed by family and coaches? Or cynically in for whatever she can get?

I'm sad and angry at the path she has chosen. The images of a man punching a woman against a background of cheering crowds are the worst thing I've ever seen at the Olympics.

Everyone KNEW this. Everyone and they didn't give a shit because women don't matter enough.

My TWAW friend thinks that women can be XY and have testicles so not everyone will be swayed by this.

I'm glad it's out in the open now, but I doubt it will make any difference to his medals.

However, the IOC must now know that they are under the bloody spotlight for every, single man they let compete as a woman.

Hopefully the fact that not testing the sex of their competitors means they let men beat up women will be used to make them do it.

I know they want to ban boxing at the Olympics, but they can't wriggle out of it on that basis, because it's not just boxing, obviously.

Colour me fucking surprised.

This bit

The report concludes by recommending Khelif be referred for “surgical correction and hormone therapy,” to help him physically align with his self-perceived gender identity, and adds that psychological support would be required because the results had caused a “very significant neuropsychiatric impact.”

made me have the slightest soupçon of sympathy for him. I can only think because I'm a little soft in the head. Then I read back, the tests were done in 2923, and any sympathy I had evaporated.

However, I don't think he's the real or, maybe, only villain here. He was enabled, even encouraged by a whole rotten apparatus.

Then there's the other guy, Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting. Khelif doesn't seem to have been the only male cheat in the boxing. I don't think it's right that Lin Yu-ting should escape scrutiny. I'm not sure why that's happened.

Maybe not, but will the authorities listen. That is the main thing. That never again will male people be entered into a female boxing bout and if in doubt a thorough testing process is used to verify being a person with the body formed around producing large gametes and not one with testes producing testosterone that the athlete’s body uses to vitalise.

Yes my sympathy for him vanishes at the point that he knows he has unfair advantage and could seriously hurt a woman yet does so anyway.

He could compete as a male or not at all.

He has been used, no doubt, but he does have autonomy.

Who are you referring to as 'she' in this scenario?

This male boxer had all the facts and chose to deliberately act this way. You can empathise all you like but this needs to be acknowledged. Before getting into the ring, this person understood they were male and had even been excluded from two boxing federations bouts because of it.

i don't necessarily blame IK, who could conceivably consider herself to be 'intersex' or 'nonbinary' or whatever, it's probably understandable that she'd compete against women if given the chance given that same sex competition would leave no prospect of international success.

the blame lies entirely with the IOC, who had access to all of the information and resources they needed to reach a sensible decision, but blew it completely.
