Trans women in sports

She's just a beast. In the most complimentary of ways.

Kermit and his ilk can't wrap their heads around the duality of hormones lol.

I found no evidence whatsoever that she's trans, and there's certainly evidence to the contrary. Also the Italian opponent clearly stated that her abandonment of the match is not meant as criticism (whether that's true or not, but that doesn't really matter). Just another case of an article being phrased to insinuate stuff to make people angry

IDK, Mary. I think it's possible that a country that banned gender affirming care might use a transgender person to represent their country in the Olympics.

Seems like this is most likely the case yes.

Funny isn't it, there's just old-fashioned sexism behind it too. If a man is really strong everyone thinks it's badass, but when it's a woman it's Wrong somehow and testosterone levels are investigated

Not really pretty much every pro athlete is tested regularly for things like that and also the presence of banned substances.

It's the scaremongering though that makes people think testosterone = trans = bad

[SGR]

To a broader point, what boxer, who trains and knows full well what boxing is and what it entails, cries foul when they get their face punched in? What viewers cry foul when watching a boxing match as someone gets their face punched in and says: "Oh my god, can you believe it?! They just got their face punched in!! The horror!!"

Don't you bring Kermit into this.

Jokes aside it's pretty fucked up that this athlete's life is now in danger because being trans or "intersex" is illegal in Algeria.

I'd love to see her smash a few more skulls in

[SGR]

Admittedly, I haven't kept up really with this situation, but how is her life in danger? I mean, would the government of Algeria persecute someone like her because she has higher testosterone than your average woman? I mean, I doubt it if she's in the Olympics bringing them victories and glory (then again, what the fuck do I know about Algerian law?). Or do you think she faces threats from public violence?

The latter. How humiliating to have your gender be a topic of discussion on a global level.

JK Rowling for example, is using her platform to call Khalif a man.

I think I need to read up a bit on Algeria and its political climate. But yeah, that is humiliating.

JK Rowling is a perfect example of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
