There are people out there who have said nothing about the dutch child rapist competing in the olympics but have now declared that they care deeply about women’s safety and ethics in sports.

[strawberryblondebutch]

It's been said to death that the "scandal" around Imane Khelif is idiotic because that's a cis woman who played the 2020 Games with no issue, and yes it's racism that a brown woman is being roped into the trans panic, just as everything surrounding Caster Semenya was misogynoir.

But Angela Carini is such a weak-ass fuck lmao. She took one jab to the nose and broke down crying. How are you a professional boxer who can't take a hit. I'm not a professional anything. I just run my mouth. I could take a glancing blow like that with no problem. This is your job.

"She felt pain in her nose and said to me, 'I don't want to fight anymore.'"

Bro. I broke my nose in the Say Anything pit back in May about three songs in and I stayed through the entire 90-minute set with blood all over my face and shirt because I have an unhealthy emotional attachment to a not-very-good emo band from the mid-aughts. I don't get paid for this shit! I'm sure some people would pay me to stop!

This makes what Angela Carini did even worse, cos now it means crying those white woman tears was intentional

From what I’ve read so far Imane Khelif has never even identified as a man for god’s sake she just has increased levels of testosterone stop hating on her

[justinssportscorner]

Anna Merlan at Mother Jones:

By the time J.K. Rowling, Elon Musk, and Donald Trump were falsely referring to her as a man, the lies about Imane Khelif had already traveled halfway around the world. Last week, two Olympic boxers—Khelif, from Algeria, and Lin Yu-ting of Taiwan—were subjected to brutal international scrutiny about their sex and gender, and whether they were entitled to compete in women’s events; the attention on Khelif became particularly acrid after her opponent, Italian Angela Carini, quit 46 seconds into their bout, declaring that she had “never been hit so hard in my life.” A photo of the two women exiting the ring, Carini in tears, Khelif casting a glance, was widely shared, with people like Rowling—who’s promoted transphobic views for years, but has denied being transphobic—offering heated and derogatory commentary about Khelif.   “Could any picture sum up our new men’s rights movement better?” Rowling tweeted. “The smirk of a male who’s [sic] knows he’s protected by a misogynist sporting establishment enjoying the distress of a woman he’s just punched in the head, and whose life’s ambition he’s just shattered.” 

While the attacks on Khelif are of a piece with familiar recent Western controversies over who is allowed to participate in girls’ and women’s sports, many of the articles and individuals magnifying the debate relied on or relayed the claims of a discredited group with strong ties to the Russian government, a deep grudge against the International Olympic Committee, and a seemingly vested interest in proving that the IOC-run games are, as the group’s leader has claimed, a venue for “sodomy.”

In trying to unravel what led up to this moment, many individuals and news outlets cited a statement released by the official-sounding International Boxing Association, which stated that both Khelif and Yu-Ting had previously been disqualified from competing in the IBA-administered Women’s World Boxing Championships in March 2023. The women were barred from that competition, which took place in New Delhi, following tests the organization has not publicly clarified, citing privacy rules. At the time, IBA president Umar Kremlev told a Russian state news agency that the women had been found to have “XY chromosomes” and claimed the two had “pretended to be women” and “tried to deceive their colleagues.” Even if the IBA’s findings were true, having XY chromosomes does not automatically make someone male—women with Swyer syndrome, a rare genetic condition, have XY for instance. Nor are XY chromosomes proven to constitute an “unfair advantage,” although that is exactly what an IBA official claimed in a press conference on Monday. One pediatrics expert told NBC in 2009—one of the innumerable times this issue has been raised in women’s sports—that such a claim was “malarkey.”

[...] When Khelif and Yu-Ting were disqualified by the IBA back in New Delhi, skeptics questioned how it benefited Azalia Amineva, a Russian fighter. The women were not ruled ineligible until after they’d already competed and Khelif had won a bout against the previously undefeated Amineva. While IBA officials said the sequence of events was due to a week’s delay in being provided testing results, as the Associated Press has pointed out, the decision meant the Russian fighter’s perfect record was retroactively restored. Kremlev isn’t shy about expressing a broad fixation on gender and sexuality, with him, as the sports website Defector has pointed out, decrying the IOC on YouTube for promoting “outright sodomy and the destruction of traditional values.” In the wake of the Paris games’ opening ceremony, he blasted the spectacle, which featured queer performers, as “pure sodomy,” while saying the IOC “burns from pure devilry” and that its president is a “chief sodomite.” He also claimed that “men with changed gender are allowed to fight with women in boxing at the Olympics.” (Videos with such remarks have been helpfully subtitled in English to draw a wider, Western audience.) Last week, Kremlev announced the IBA would give $50,000 in prize money to the defeated opponents of Khelif and Yu-Ting.

[...] The Khelif affair captures English-speaking transphobes with rigid ideas about the nature of womanhood picking up on a politically motivated campaign from a discredited organization at open war with the IOC. Indeed, right-wing organizations in the United States, including the Independent Women’s Forum and CPAC, via its chair Matt Schlapp, have paid for sponsored posts on Musk’s X platform, calling her “a man“—posts that appear when users search for information on the controversy.

The International Boxing Association, which is a Kremlin-led body led by Umar Kremlev that is permanently banned from being the sanctioning body for Olympic boxers, has instigated a transphobic war against cis women boxers Lin Yu-ting and Imane Khelif.

The IBA issued politically-motivated disqualifications of the pair in 2023 that don’t stand up to scrutiny.

i’m sorry but there’s no way in hell that keir starmer should allow one of his sitting MPs to have a profile that looks like this, accusing a cis female athlete of being a man

Khelif is not transgender, but has a disorder of sex development (DSD), which causes some females to have XY chromosomes and blood testosterone levels typical of a male.

Yet they can't be bothered to even add a community note, but when it came to light that Musk gives his conservative buddies literal N-Word passes he adds a special new community note instantly. Not to mention that OP is endorsed by Musk himself. He bought Twitter solely as a political instrument. Truth Social showed him that he can't create. He can only take something with an existing userbase.

This woman, Angela Carini, is crying because her dream of winning a medal for her late father was destroyed in 46 seconds.

Male boxer Imane Khelif beat up Angela Carini and punched her in the face.

C'est le visage d'une femme obligée de combattre un homme en raison des règles qui nuisent aux femmes. Le jour le plus sombre pour le sport féminin. Angela Carini (Italie) a été privée de ses rêves olympiques victime du wokisme représenté par Imane Khelif (Algérie)

Tout comme Adrien Quatennens qui a remporté l’OR en boxe féminine.

Certains sont persuadés que la boxeuse algérienne est bien une femme

August 2 2024 Lin Yu‑ting (Taiwan) a male with XY chromosomes defeats Sitora Turdibekova (Uzbekistan) in the women’s boxing category.

[gamer2002]

I was born a weak man, due to my relatively light built and a born condition. I still can overpower an average woman.

Denial of biological reality and allowing a biological man with confirmed XY chromosome to compete with women in boxing during the most prestigious once per 4 years (summer) sports championship in the world is evil. What kind of championed rights require a man to beat up women? What is worth this?

Trans movement should denounce this, instead of counting on the pendulum never swinging back. Think again if you want it to happen on preferable conditions or to risk for the pendulum to smash your teeth.

[millua]

Imane Khelif is a MAN, a womanbeater and cheater, a disgusting pos MAN!! Fuck the Wokelympics, it certainly is not the Olympics anymore.

[hippityhoppityyourenowmyproperty]

This is outrageous. A white woman loses to a woman of color in a fair fight after forfeiting, cries white woman tears, and gets $50,000 by an intersexist organization while the woc is publicly harrassed and villified and racist assholes insist she's a violent, monstrous abomination.
