What always gets lost in this topic is that the ideal that there is such a thing as fair competition with regards to sports is so obviously blatantly bullshit. And the difference in testosterone levels between these two would be one of the most minor differences to modern sports. Unless people are going to setup classes based on hormone level ranges done like every hour for a whole like 6 months prior to competing, this entire argument (about hormone levels) is always going to be a farce. The Olympics (and other sports) will let teenagers compete against people twice their age and not bat an eye (age affects hormone levels, but that never seems to matter, I'm sure the older people totally super wouldn't do anything to affect their hormone levels...). Weird how that's never brought up, eh?



Yeah, not sure why they felt the need to make sure we know that women have more balls than they do, but eh some guys have to really make sure people know they're pathetic.
Yeah, I've always found the hormone or even men vs women debates to be hilarious when we actively put 6' 250lb young humans in full contact sports with others a full quarter or third less mass than them.

So fucking stupid.
A man beat up a woman in the Olympics and you fellows think it's a fine thing.

She's not a man. She has a vagina and ovaries.

A corrupt Russian boxing tsar has made claims that the IOC could NOT corroborate. That corrupt Russian boxing tsar who was banned from the IOC 2 years ago is the sole unverified source of the claims she has male chromosomes. The IOC found she is a biological woman.

Wanna know how I know you're in a cult?

You have been fed a lie.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) however strongly supports her participation in the 2024 Games, with IOC spokesperson Mark Adams saying she was “born female, was registered female, lived her life as a female, boxed as a female, has a female passport.”

People would rather spread misinformation instead of simply doing cursory research. Looks like some in this thread have taken the bait, not surprising of the ignorance. The way these grifters and concern trolls are acting, you’d think Khelif was just Mike Tysoning dainty women left and right.

SHE has NINE fucking losses.

The people who deny the possibility of transgenderism generally claim that the genitals you have at birth, and your natural hormone balance, and your chromosomes, and so on, are all the same thing. But they’re not. Regardless of what you think about psychological gender, you have to accept the factual existence of physical intersex conditions. A creation of GOD!. There are people who naturally have a vagina and a Y chromosome, as well as many other combinations of “mismatched” physical, objective, verifiable sex traits. Swyer-syndrome XY women can become pregnant and give birth using donated eggs, so ... Male not found. Moral: if you’re a female boxer with a flattish chest and strongly prominent features, a short haircut is the third strike as far as public opinion is concerned. If the "gender critical movement" believed what they say they do, they’d be the first ones to call it for the bullshit it is. This is a women who was assigned female at birth, that by their own alleged standards should be the end of it.

These bigots see a woman who both passes the woman test under their own criteria, and also as far as we know did not choose to do anything to affirm her gender (even according to their own propaganda). She is just like this because that’s what biology does sometimes, and they still hate her because gender nonconformity is scary.

Khelif gets the HONOR of having at least three different billionaires bully her on social media. She should challenge them to a boxing match. I hear they’re into that kind of thing.

I mean if she has a set of secret balls somewhere producing testosterone there is probably a conversation to be had... On the other hand we've seen plenty of athletes with gigantism (excess production of human growth hormone) and noone ever broached the topic then.
Of course these subjects then were men.... shrugs
I mean where was the outrage when this guy was taking the rounds?

@Greenman - I would hope that all this new information that has come to light, you re-evaluate your position and perhaps question the credibility of the sources you initially relied on.
He’s a Trumper and any good Trumper knows you never admit being wrong. Just 2x and 3x down on your bullshit.

Facts be damned. Nuance is a bitch, ain’t it Grennie?
