    What has some Algerian boxer to do with all of this? I feel like I’m missig 27 layers of hate.

      Middle of the image you’re responding to, when they refer to “allowing biological men to compete in women’s sports at the Olympics”.

      Said Algerian boxer became the center of claims that she was actually trans and competing against women unfairly after she punched another boxer in the face, like boxers do, and the other boxer had to drop out on account of “face all messed up”.

      See my previous comment for a breakdown on the validity of that claim, and maybe some understanding of why it’s just a big pile of ignorance and hate.

        I see. Okay, so I checked WTF you’re all talking about and it seems like an XY woman wrecked a XX women, which I also feel is bullshit considering the massive biological difference. Not sure what that has to do with a phobia of any kind, though.

          swing and a miss. Remember that big part where I talked about how she’s a woman in every possible sense of the word? Read that again.

          You’re looking at the hate and then just believing it. Don’t.

              Couple things: a statement relating to unspecified testing about one failed test to Russian state media is a pretty far cry from “it kind of holds up”.

              I’m glad you avoid manufactured outrage. In this case, the manufactured outrage is from the people falsely claiming a woman is secretly transgender and spreading misinformation, like in the original post you seem to not have a problem with.

              You don’t see what accusing someone of being transgender to undermine their win has to do with transgender issues?

              Also, “transexual” is not the preferred nomenclature. Transgender is. The former is an older, dated term and is generally best avoided.
