Bottom Line

The only purported evidence for the claim that Khelif is trans comes from an undisclosed test performed by an allegedly corrupt sports governing body that may have shown she has a DSD condition. The IOC has said Khelif meets its requirements for participation, with Adams, the IOC spokesman, specifically clarifying, “This is not a transgender issue.”

Because Khelif is not transgender, claims attempting to make her victory against Carini an issue about transgender rights or “woke” politics are without basis.

    So:

    • iba is wrong and corrupt,

    • the tests were fake and even if they weren’t they shouldn’t even be done

    • everyone who thinks she looks very atypical for a woman and very typical for a man is wrong

    • if anyone doesn’t agree with you, they are an “arshole”

    Brilliant! Bravo!

      Unironically, yes, that is a decent summary of the situation. I mean your last bullet wasn’t in the article and is somewhat subjective, but…

        Ok. Wow. You really don’t see how you look like, claiming this?

        I mean if nothing else, you look like the “arshole” in the situation .

          So, the test administered by the IBA was “We can’t tell you, it’s proprietary” and the results of the test were “Trust me bro, she failed,” and now this supposed test result is being used by people to jump to conclusions about her appearance and to try and drag her down just to make a rallying point in arguments about sex and gender in sports. Sorry if people blatantly ignoring how flimsy their evidence is so they can make a point by accusing some athlete of being really a male led me to make my own uncouth assumptions about the personality of someone who would hold such a view.

            So you had no thought about iba not releasing the full tests to protect the athlete?

            You are jumping to conclusion that it’s all a big conspiracy against this athlete. That sounds unlikely to me.

            Also, you accuse me of using this situation as some kind of rallying cry and I will assume everyone that is not 100% in line with what you think. I was banned from another community just by saying that there is an issue in woman sports by individuals with certain conditions and that it should be addressed. Who is in total mob mode here? Not even a mention of discussion is allowed.

              Are you aware of the circumstances around the decision, the IBA being banned for having a long history of shadiness, and only failing this woman as soon as she beat a Russian? I suppose the IOC could all be conspiracy theorists too…

                  yeah IOC just banned them permanently for no reason, huh? literally the only governing body in olympic history to have been banned. No, that’s not concerning at all.

          …says the person downvoted to ovlivion for being an arsehole.

          Some people… How can you be so… unaware.

              Whether you’re an asshole or not absolutely depends on the opinion of others, not your own.

              Again… Fucking unaware of your surroundings.

                You must be very thick to think I would notice being banned, down votes, insults and all kind of vomit only for mentioning that this is an issue in women’s sports.

                Very very thick. I would use a harsher word, but I’d immediately banned. Unlike some.

                  Wait, women participating in women’s sports is an issue?

                  How did this suddenly take a turn from helping you ‘detect’ the asshole in the conversation?

                  And… If you maybe get banned so often, and you’re scared to use ‘harsher words’, maybe you’re unaware that you’re the arsehole? Maybe?

                  Look in the mirror. Reflect.

                    You are in a little bubble where only one opinion is allowed. Relax. Chill. Then maybe when you release all this kneejerk irrational hatred and vitriol, you will be able to have an independent thought.

                    I won’t hold my breath. Bye.

      1. Correct, with proof.
      2. Correct, see bullet point 1.
      3. There’s nothing that describes a “typical woman” or “typical man”.
      4. Correct, I think the actual term is a “bigot”.

      Pretty good summary TBH.

      The last point is also supported by the evidence at hand.
