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.

    I’m not calling you names, I’m saying you are displaying repeated behavior of denying literally everything presented in front of you.

    Saying they found xy genes is not the same as calling them trans.

    jfc, now we’re splitting hairs huh? what would you call it then?

    They might disqualified them fairly as well. We don’t know what tests they did and what results they got.

    are you denying what the IOC, who have way more information on the issue than you or I, said?

    You are claiming unproven things and asking me to disprove them.

    I am claiming nothing other than the IBA has proven to be less trustworthy than the IOC.

      You are calling me names. A rather strange one, since I could also call you one. Everybody in every debate could do it.

      We are absolutely not splitting hairs. That’s a whole other ball game. It means they have a condition they are unaware of that gives them unfair advantage. I think it was phrased that way. This condition absolutely exists and there would be no surprise if that was the case.

      Of course I’m not denying what they said, but they are not the alpha and omega of sport organizations. They went with their previous decision, choosing not to do any tests that might degrade the situation even more. Absolutely the correct decision.

      If an organisation is considered less trustworthy, it doesn’t mean it’s always wrong with everything. That would be a logical phalacy.
