Author J.K. Rowling has fallen silent on her usually busy X (formerly Twitter) feed, after Olympic gold medalist boxer Imane Khelif filed a legal complaint in France for alleged cyber harassment over statements regarding her gender.
On August 9, lawyers for Khelif filed a lawsuit with a special unit of the public prosecutor’s office in Paris, stemming from false statements that spread online about her gender after the Algerian boxer defeated Italy’s Angela Carini in her first fight of the 2024 Olympic Games. Carini pulled out 46 seconds into the bout and told reporters afterwards that she had “never felt a punch like this.”
That’s why I said it’s usually a strong indication.
Your comment makes no sense though. If a woman is a woman, she’s a woman whether or not she gives birth. And if someone isn’t a woman, giving birth doesn’t change that. So how is it a strong sign of that gender?
A woman giving birth is a good indication that she’s cis, but if you didn’t already know her gender, it wouldn’t indicate anything about it except for the assumptions that others have about it…
