Yes. But totally unsurprising. Great letter by Mara Yamauchi.

Khelif is no longer speaking

Imrane Khelif no longer to speak at the Oxford Union

@Telegraph quotes Mara Yamauchi letter urging Union to respect free debate

We’d written to Sky and the BBC with Khelif fact checks ahead of this now cancelled appearance, expecting interview bids.

Afraid of free speech it seems!

Mara's letter is fantastic, particularly the last question about 'passport sex'.

TheKeatingFive · 15/11/2024 10:16

I just read it on X. It's stellar.

BabaYagasHouse · 15/11/2024 10:17

Does anyone have a direct link to the letter please?

Helleofabore · 15/11/2024 10:44

Oh well now.

It was a cracking letter from Mara. And she raised the point that I have never yet seen answered on these threads. Why has this particular boxer been issued such prestigious invitations when other gold medalist boxers have not, now or in the past? The lack of symmetry in treatment of gold medalist female boxers is stark!

Thanks so much Helleofabore
What a fantastic letter!!

Yes, isn't it just? Are the unforeseen circumstances that IK didn't realise that he'd be asked questions by people unsympathetic to him, I wonder?

Datun · 15/11/2024 11:19

I'm assuming the Oxford union could have refused to ask those questions.

Presumably they felt that a refusal to ask them would look just as bad.

Melroses · 16/11/2024 14:32

Why was he even going to the Oxford Union? Did his PR minders think it was another Vogue shoot? 🤷‍♀️

Mara's letter was brilliant. 🤩

It's a shame that the issue has become so personalised in the figure of Khelif - but Khelif's management team know what they are doing and it is they that must take responsibility for the consequences.

The furore at the Olympics has presented to them an opportunity to get rich and make money on the back of that controversy - and Khelif is having to pose for photos in female attire in order to maintain the illusion. We all know Khelif presents as male in every day life.

There will definitely be an audience prepared to pay good money to watch a male beating up a woman.

Yes, it's a choice. Lin and his team kept pretty quiet and he has been almost forgotten already.

There but for fortune and all that...... 🤨
