    No surprises here. You cannot be having babies and making sandwiches if you are doing sports.

      As a stay at home Dad, I also find time to cook and play basketball in the local rec League. I personally think women should leave all that stuff to men and get back to work.

    We do not know what is between Imane Khelif’s legs. It is absolutely possible to be XY and be born with a vagina that looks and works like any vagina. They might even have rudimentary (but non-functional) female reproductive organs.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_gonadal_dysgenesis

    If that is true about Imane Khelif, she may not even have known about it most of her life.

    Should all Olympians be genetically tested or just examined to see what’s between their legs? If the former, which event do the women with Swyer Syndrome perform in? How about people with both sets of genitalia? They exist. What about people who are XXY or XYY?

    And if you think the latter- please do justify that sort of invasive examination for the purposes of athletic competition. Unpaid athletic competition at that.

    This is stupid. There’s no “far right” to purge women… the outcry is whether or not women’s sports are being treated fairly. The whole controversy about this boxing issue started when information was released that this female has failed gender tests in the past. Of course there’s going to be an outcry from people.

      Exactly. And the outcry over unfairness in women’s sports is an effort to save it, not destroy it.

      Would it make a difference to you if the controversy kicked off because the org that disqualified these two fighters was banned by the IOC from participating in the Olympics for shady stuff? Or if the org has never said why they were disqualified? Or if the guy making the wild claims is the head of the org and a friend of Putin, and the DQ for one fighter happened after she beat an until then undefeated Russian fighter?

      You really should look into the background of it. Here’s an AP News link

      Inane Khelif never ‘failed a gender test’. A single test of unspecified nature and undisclosed method conducted by an unreliable sports governing body has purportedly either revealed higher testosterone levels or XY chromosomes. But due to the unspecified nature the result is neither reproducible nor reliable.

      Lemmy doesn’t care about fairness. Only about ideology.

      According to Lemmy it’s only fair to remove gender based competitions as gender is only a social construct. Fuck all the women who worked hard and dedicated their lives to a single event. Fuck them brutally because we want our ideology to stand victory.

      An extended result of the view is that unaltered women does belong in the home pursuing more domestic tasks.

    Why isn’t this labeled as an opinion piece? There’s nothing in here to substantiate the headline and almost no journalism. I’m not used to work like this from The Intercept.

        There’s a single quote of half a sentence from the New York Post, other than that where is the “right wing campaign”? Referencing Twitter and quoting other journalists does not equal journalism. Moreover, I see no reference at all to women being “purged” from women’s sports. This story is 98% opinion and 2% facts.

          I feel like you’re just being wilfully ignorant and hyperbolic. These days I don’t have the energy for folks like you.

          The far right prime minister of Italy attacked Khelif saying that it’s an injustice that she was allowed to compete, and far right politicians all over the world have started calling her a man flat out.

    Put simply, it was never really about transgender women, they were just used to create a psuedoscientific smokescreen around the same thing that misogyny has always been about: policing women’s bodies. If the patriarchy doesn’t consider you a woman, you don’t get to be one.

    Imane Khelif, Lin Yu-ting or any woman’s testosterone levels give no more an advantage than Michael Phelps height, wingspan, hand/feet size and his body producing less lactic acid that shortened his recovery time. Yet nobody was screaming from their high horse about Phelps domination in the pool.

    “The IOC insisted this week that no scientific or political consensus exists on gender and fairness issues. It gave updated guidance to sports governing bodies in 2021.” Source

    Right wingnuts can go fuck themselves.
