[bookish-cravings]

And I could bring up how the IBA never published the ‘gender tests’ they conducted on Imane and Lin and how dangerous and misogynistic the very idea of gender testing is and how the IBA is no longer affiliated with the olympics because of corruption and how Imane was disqualified only AFTER she beat a Russian boxer and how Imane has DSD and lives in ALGERIA where it is literally illegal to be trans - but I’m not gonna

What I am gonna bring up is how Angela Carini has faked injuries in matches before at the first sign of defeat

What I am gonna bring up is how heinously Khelif and Yu-ting’s opponents have been behaving and how they’re playing into the trans allegations because they’re sore losers who can’t just take defeat graciously

What I am gonna bring up is how Imane Khelif and Luca Anna Hamori have about the same build, but nobody is accusing Luca of being trans, in fact, it’s never a white girl that gets stuck with the trans allegations

And that’s cause you view WOC as more masculine, more aggressive and less attractive than white women - that’s why you never see white girls having to defend themselves against these allegations - and it’s also why Imane and Lin’s opponents feel comfortable adding to/manipulating the media shitstorm into going after these girls so they can assuage their own egos

This has nothing to do with ‘protecting women’s sports’ and everything to do with punishing WOC for having the nerve to be better than white ppl at smth

White women tears are so, so, so dangerous, those women knew exactly what they were doing, and I hope Imane and Lin both win gold in their respective divisions

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.

The director of Algeria’s Olympic committee has claimed that a female boxer at the centre of a row over her eligibility to fight against women is the victim of a “Zionist” conspiracy.

Imane Khelif was accused of being a man and a “bullying cheat” after her Italian opponent withdrew from their bout last week after just 46 seconds.

Angela Carini claimed she had quit to “save my life” when the Algerian boxer hit her so hard she could not breathe.

Khelif was previously disqualified from the 2023 Women's World Boxing Championships which was organised by the Russian-led International Boxing Association (IBA) after she failed unspecified gender eligibility tests.

The restrictions include a ban on women with XY chromosomes from competing against other females. 

Khelif’s results from the IBA testing remain confidential, but the body has said she had a competitive advantage.

It has never been proven that Khelif has XY chromosomes, which are typically posessed by men, but can be present in women with a Differences of Sexual Development disorder. 

Despite claims that she is a man, Khelif has never identified as transgender or intersex.

After defeating Hungarian Luca Anna Hamori in the women’s 66kg division quarter-final, she insisted that she was a woman.

Speaking before the bout, which guaranteed that she would win at least a bronze medal, Yassine Arab, the director of the Algerian Olympic and Sports Committees, told the Syndney Morning Herald Khelif had been attacked by shadowy forces.

“The Zionist lobby, they want to break the mind of Imane. But now Imane is very strong. They don’t want that a Muslim girl or Arabic girl goes higher in the level of the rank of female boxing,” he said.

“We are all here for Imane. You can see all the support of everybody from the world. All the international press associations, they support Imane.”

Speaking to BeIN Sports, Khelif said: “This is a matter of dignity and honour for every woman or female.

"The entire Arab people have known me for years. For years I have been boxing in international federation competitions, they [the IBA] were unfair with me. But I have god.

“I want to tell the entire world that I am a female, and I will remain a female.

“I dedicate this medal to the world, and to all the Arabs and I tell you, long live Algeria."

BREAKING: TWO “Female Boxers” Set To Compete At Paris 2024 Were Previously Disqualified From Women’s World Championship For Having “XY Chromosomes”

By

Anna Slatz

July 27, 2024

Two athletes competing at the Paris Olympics as “women” were previously disqualified from a women’s world championship for having “XY chromosomes.” Imane Khelif of Algeria and Lin Yu-Ting of Taiwan are scheduled to compete in Olympic women’s boxing next week despite past questions surrounding their biological sex.

The Women’s World Boxing Championships took place in March of 2023 and was hosted in New Delhi, India. A total of 324 boxers from 64 nations competed during the 10-day trial, marking the largest participation in any iteration of the championship ever recorded.

However, the grand event was marred by controversy after Umar Kremlev, president of the International Boxing Association (IBA), announced the disqualification of multiple boxers from the championship.

Kremlev said that IBA executives had met towards the championship’s grand finale to discuss “fairness among athletes and professionalism,” after concerns were raised about the biological sex of some participants. He added that after “a series of DNA-tests,” the IBA “uncovered athletes who were trying to fool their colleagues and pretend to be women.”

Speaking to TASS News, Kremlev claimed that the tests had proven the athletes in question “had XY chromosomes and were thus excluded from the sports events.”

Among the disqualified was Imane Khelif, an Algerian boxer who had been set to challenge Yang Liu of China in the welterweight final. Khelif was removed from the gold medal fight, and Thailand’s Janjaem Suwannapheng, who had lost to Khelif in the semi-finals, was allowed to proceed to fight Yang instead.

In a public statement, the IBA wrote that “a boxer from Algeria, Imane Khelif, was excluded from the IBA World Boxing Championships due to the failure to meet the IBA eligibility criteria.” But the Algerian Olympic Committee denied the IBA’s claims, attributing Khelif’s disqualification to a “conspiracy” to prevent Algeria from having a gold medal in boxing.

While they vaguely alluded to Khelif being struck for “medical reasons” surrounding high testosterone levels, they added that they would be supporting Khelif’s journey to the 2024 Paris Olympics regardless.

But following the controversial disqualification, a female boxer came forward to discuss her experience fighting Khelif in the ring at the championship.

“When I fought with her I felt very out of my depth,” Mexican boxer Brianda Tamara wrote on X. “Her blows hurt me a lot, I don’t think I had ever felt like that in my 13 years as a boxer, nor in my sparring with men. Thank God that day I got out of the ring safely, and it’s good that they finally realized,” Tamara said.

A second boxer was similarly disqualified by the IBA at the event, Taiwan’s Lin Yu-Ting, who was also stripped of a bronze medal.

Lin had previously won 5 gold medals in women’s boxing tournaments.

Lin Yu-Ting winning gold and a $100,000 prize at a 2022 women’s boxing championship.

Despite having faced the disqualification just last year, both boxers will be competing in Paris as female boxers.

Khelif is scheduled to fight Italy’s Angela Carini on August 1, while Lin Yu-Ting is set to be matched the next day.

While neither have stated they identify as transgender, it is suspected that both are impacted by a Difference of Sexual Development (DSD), a category of medical conditions encompassing any problem noted at birth where the genitalia are atypical in relation to the chromosomes or gonads.

DSDs in elite sports first came to public attention during the meteoric rise of South African runner Caster Semenya. Semenya’s rapid improvements in performance beginning in 2009 initially triggered suspicions of drug use, and World Athletics (then called the IAAF) was internationally denounced for requesting Semenya take a test to ascertain his biological sex.

Most women, including elite female athletes, have natural testosterone levels of 0.12 to 1.79 nanomoles per liter (nmol/L), but Semenya has XY chromosomes and male gonads producing a normal level of testosterone for a male. In 2011, Semenya was measured as having 15.6 and 29.3 nmol/L. Years later, a decision in the Court of Arbitration for Sport revealed that Semenya has a DSD where the normal male sexual development fails in utero, resulting in external genitals that appear to be a vagina at birth, but was in fact an underdeveloped penis.

Speaking to Reduxx, a representative with the Independent Council on Women’s Sports (ICONS) condemned the confusion that had emerged surrounding the sex of competitors due to the International Olympic Committee’s 2000 decision to end sex-verification screening.

“The IOC’s decision to end sex-verification screening in 2000 has caused distrust and confusion in women’s sports ever since,” ICONS co-founder Marshi Smith said. “Its 2021 decision to offload the responsibility for international eligibility criteria to individual sporting bodies has resulted in varied standards and widespread chaos among athletes, coaches, officials, and the public.”

Smith notes that a new boxing qualification system was implemented for the 2024 Olympics in which an ad-hoc unit was created by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Executive Board to organize the boxing competitions for Paris 2024.

This new unit was set up after the International Boxing Association (IBA), which had previously disqualified Khelif and Lin from women’s championships, was suspended by the IOC due to concerns it was receiving funding from Russia.

In the FAQ for the Paris 2024 Boxing Unit, no gender eligibility guidelines are specified, something Smith suggests likely indicates that individual nations were given a tremendous amount of power to deem their own athletes eligible.

“In boxing, the recent contentious split between the IBA and the IOC has now placed Olympic eligibility power into the hands of national boxing federations, allowing countries like Algeria and Taiwan to set their own standards and continue placing male boxers in the ring with female athletes in combat for women’s Olympic medals,” Smith explains.

“The physical abuse of women on an Olympic stage eliminates the integrity of all Olympic events and risks lifelong injury or even death for female athletes. This deceit cannot be allowed to continue.”

Possibile che in giro trovo solo comodini brutti e costosi? Ti prego dammi qualche idea sto diventando pazz*iknverzpèà19u5

Cosa non ti piace? Cosa ti piace? Ti servono i cassetti e tanto spazio per riporre le cose? Non ti propongo i classici ikea, maison e leroy perché sono sempre lì, carini o no, ma di sicuro li avrai visti. Io per tantissimi anni ho avuto come comodino una sedia di recupero ben pitturata (una thonet stupenda e tarlata come l'anima del diavolo) e dopo un piccolo tavolino con cassetto (minuscolo) preso da un rigattiere anche questo ripitturato. Adesso come comodino ho una copia (ahimè copia, ma non avevo abbastanza soldi) del componibile Kartell di Anna Castelli Ferrieri:

Io consiglio sempre, sono di certo ripetitiva scusami, di fare un giro per rigattieri e mercatini perché si trovano tanti mobiletti bellissimi, comodini anche, che magari non hanno nemmeno bisogno di un ritocco. Oppure, se li trovi ma non ti piace il colore, li ripitturi tu :) Ah e poi chiedi ad amici e parenti che hanno cantine e soffitte, quelle proprio piene di roba, magari spunta qualcosa.

La boxeadora Imane Khelif toma una decisión crucial tras la controversia de género en los Juegos Olímpicos

Historia de Alex Pattle, 23/10/2024

La boxeadora Imane Khelif dará el salto al profesionalismo tras conquistar el oro olímpico en París, un logro que llegó envuelto en una controversia relacionada con su identidad de género.

Khelif estuvo bajo intenso escrutinio tras su victoria inicial este verano, cuando su rival Angela Carini se retiró solo 46 segundos después de recibir un único golpe. La argelina, de 25 años, obtuvo el oro en la categoría de peso wélter, al vencer a Luca Anna Hamori, Janjaem Suwannapheng y Liu Yang.

No obstante, su éxito quedó marcado por una controversia relacionada con su identidad de género, ya que la Asociación Internacional de Boxeo (IBA) la descalificó del Campeonato Mundial de 2023 por no superar una prueba de elegibilidad de género. La IBA también alegó que Khelif presentó resultados adversos en los controles realizados durante el Campeonato Mundial de 2022.

Durante los Juegos Olímpicos de París, circularon numerosas afirmaciones infundadas sobre Imane Khelif, como que había sido varón antes de su transición y que era una atleta transexual o intersexual. No existen pruebas que respalden estas afirmaciones, mientras que la Asociación Internacional de Boxeo (IBA) insinuó la presencia de cromosomas XY, aunque nunca hizo una acusación directa.

El 20 de octubre, Khelif hizo el anuncio en una rueda de prensa, donde también reveló que se está preparando un documental sobre su carrera.

“Pronto entraré en el mundo del boxeo profesional”, declaró Khelif, según numerosos informes. “Tengo varias propuestas, pero aún no tomé ninguna decisión”.

Khelif indicó que tiene planes de dar el salto al boxeo profesional en un futuro cercano y expresó su deseo de que los argelinos puedan “demostrar su nivel” en el ámbito profesional.

Este verano, el promotor británico Eddie Hearn, que trabaja con figuras como Anthony Joshua, expresó su interés en fichar a Imane Khelif para Matchroom.

En una entrevista con iFL TV, Hearn comentó: “No tengo todos los datos, pero creo que hay muchas cosas poco claras.

Hearn hacía referencia al hecho de que la IBA, que solía organizar el boxeo olímpico, dejó de hacerlo antes de los Juegos de Tokio 2021. El Comité Olímpico Internacional (COI), que supervisó el boxeo en Tokio y creó la Unidad de Boxeo de París este verano, se distanció de la IBA debido a preocupaciones sobre la gestión financiera de la organización, sus vínculos con Rusia y posibles casos de corrupción.

Hearn evitó emitir juicios definitivos y añadió: “No soy quién para decidir lo que está bien o mal, pero con la información que tengo hasta ahora, si no existen razones que lo impidan, tienes derecho a competir como mujer”.

Además, Hearn resaltó el talento de Khelif como boxeadora y subrayó su “gran potencial comercial”. Indicó que su popularidad en Instagram creció de manera notable, al pasar de 30.000 seguidores a más de 2 millones en un corto periodo. Sin embargo, concluyó que aún “desconocen” muchos detalles sobre esta situación.

Sporting gender and race: Lessons from Imane Khelif humiliation

New Post has been published on https://sa7ab.info/2024/08/11/sporting-gender-and-race-lessons-from-imane-khelif-humiliation-2/

Sporting gender and race: Lessons from Imane Khelif humiliation

“I send a message to all the people of the world to uphold the Olympic principles and the Olympic Charter, to refrain from bullying all athletes. Because this has effects, massive effects. It can destroy people, it can kill people’s thoughts, spirit and mind. It can divide people. And because of that, I ask them to refrain from bullying.”

These were the words of 25-year-old Algerian boxer Imane Khelif during an interview with SNTV, a sports video partner of The Associated Press, on Sunday, August 4.

Khelif made these comments after facing severe bullying, including accusations that she is a trans woman, following a heated row about gender eligibility.

The gender row began when Italian boxer Angela Carini abandoned her qualifying match with Khelif on August 1, just 46 seconds into the first round, citing safety concerns after a powerful blow to the face.

Following this match, critics targeted Khelif on social media, including contentious figures such as US election candidate Donald Trump, Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, and far-right Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.

Hungarian opponent Anna Luca Hamori further inflamed the situation by comparing Khelif to a devil-like monster on Instagram and spreading transphobic sentiments before their match last week.

Despite the bullying, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has strongly supported Khelif, as well as Taiwan’s Lin Yu-Ting, who also faced bullying during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

On August 3, IOC President Thomas Bach stated, “We have two boxers who were born as women, who have been raised as women, who have a passport as a woman, and who have competed for many years as women.”

Discrimination against women of colour is nothing new

The gender row reveals a troubling pattern of discrimination against people of colour.

Throughout her tennis career, which began in the mid-1990s, Serena Williams faced intense scrutiny over her physique.

Despite turning professional at 14, winning 23 Grand Slams, overcoming numerous injuries, and surviving a near-fatal birth experience, Williams’s muscular build was frequently criticised.

“People would say I was born a guy, all because of my arms or because I’m strong,” Williams told Harper’s Bazaar in 2018.

“I was different from Venus: she was thin and tall and beautiful, and I am strong and muscular — and beautiful, but, you know, it was just totally different.”

Similarly, South African runner Caster Semenya faced discrimination after her 800m victory at the 2009 World Championships.

Despite being identified as female at birth and raised as a girl, Semenya was sidelined for 11 months due to regulations concerning hormone levels.

She has a condition known as differences in sex development (DSDs), which results in naturally high testosterone levels.

The latest athlete to face such scrutiny is Indian wrestling star Vinesh Phogat, who was disqualified from her gold medal bout at the Games for being 100 grams overweight.

These accusations against women of colour not only humiliate actual trans girls and women, who are often denied high-level competition opportunities, but also unfairly target cis women of colour, punishing them for their achievements and questioning their very identity.

This situation also highlights hypocrisy in the Olympics.

Why was Khelif vilified, slandered, and even pressured to provide childhood photographs to prove her gender, while Dutch volleyball player Steven van de Velde, who was sentenced to four years in prison in the UK in 2016 for raping a 12-year-old girl when he was 19, received far less scrutiny? 

Although the player has now been removed from the Games, a clear double standard is evident this year.

The female battle against testosterone 

The controversy surrounding Khelif has deeply impacted not only her, but also her family, and the broader female community, particularly women who suffer from high testosterone levels.

Elevated testosterone, can lead to unfair scrutiny, especially in women with conditions such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) or Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH).

Notably, 37% of female Olympians have PCOS, a condition that contributes to 70% of hyperandrogenism cases.

PCOS symptoms, for example, include acne, excessive body hair growth, and scalp hair loss, and the condition affects an estimated 5% of women.

Testosterone, a sex hormone produced by both men and women, is at the heart of this row. Although we don’t know if Khelif has disclosed any medical conditions that may cause high testosterone levels, one thing is certain: having the so-called ‘male hormone’ is nothing to be ashamed of.

Aless Bove, a nutritional therapist at The PCOS Expert, shared her thoughts on women with elevated testosterone: “While conditions like PCOS can reduce the quality of life for many women, it can also be a superpower. Testosterone is often labelled a ‘male hormone,’ but we need it in regulated amounts for energy, mood, and bone health.

“Elevated testosterone does not determine gender identity, but it affects around 5-10% of women and is linked to certain medical conditions. It can also fluctuate depending on lifestyle, diet, and stress,” Bove explains to The New Arab.

Three women with PCOS, who chose to remain anonymous, shared their feelings about the Khelif controversy.

Sarah* expressed her sadness: “I felt very saddened by Khelif’s case. The impact this has had on the world makes me angry about humanity and how people can hurt each other without compassion and empathy.

“Everyone has scars and has gone through struggles, and no one should be judgmental, no matter what.”

She added that the harsh comments about Khelif’s physical appearance reminded her of high school bullying, feeling like a return to a playground where kids are mean.

Layla* shared similar sentiments: “When I first saw the situation surrounding Khelif, I felt sorry for her, much like I did for intersex athlete Caster Semenya years ago. After seeing influencers like Jake Paul suggest giving her opponent a ‘fair chance’ against someone who wasn’t ‘male,’ my frustration grew.

“I, too, have elevated testosterone levels that I cannot control despite my best efforts. I can only imagine how heart-wrenching it must have been for Khelif to see the world turn on her overnight for something she cannot control,” Layla adds. 

“Athletes train for years for their moment in the sun, and Khelif’s moment was stolen from her because of a chemical imbalance within her body that the world failed to understand. The so-called ‘controversy’ is morally repugnant and deeply offensive.”

Jasmine* voiced concern for Khelif’s mental health: “I found it incredibly sad and really sympathised with Khelif. As a woman with PCOS, you are always conscious of symptoms making you appear less ‘female.’ The cruel trolls and narrative surrounding Khelif are likely to be triggering for her and could significantly affect her mental health.”

Urgent need for change

Recent events demonstrate the urgent need for significant changes to prevent the humiliation of misgendering.

This also extends to unnecessary revisits of past injustices. For example, amid the ongoing gender debate, critics have fixated on Khelif, highlighting her previous disqualification from competition due to “elevated levels of testosterone,” which allegedly did not meet the eligibility criteria.

This change is not just a matter of discussion; it is critical, particularly given that Khelif has recently received death threats.

So, what actions are necessary to protect these women’s mental health?

First, testing practices must undergo major improvements. 

Despite advancements from visual exams in the 1930s to more sophisticated chromosome and testosterone tests, the International Boxing Association’s (IBA) handling of Khelif and Yu-Ting’s testing remains unclear.

The IBA has not disclosed the details of the tests or the reasons for the boxers’ disqualification, citing confidentiality.

On Wednesday, July 31, the IBA stated that the two boxers “did not undergo a testosterone examination but were subject to a separate and recognised test, the specifics of which remain confidential.”

IOC spokesman Mark Adams affirmed that all participants in the women’s event were “complying with competition eligibility rules.”

He noted, “These athletes have competed many times before for many years, they haven’t just arrived, they competed in Tokyo.

“Testosterone is not a perfect test. Many women can have testosterone which is in what would be called ‘male levels’ and still be women, still compete as women.

“This idea that suddenly you do one test for testosterone and that sorts everything out — not the case, I’m afraid.

“I hope we’re all agreed that we’re not calling for people to go back to the bad old days of sex testing, which was a terrible thing to do.”

Bove argues that improving testing involves addressing the complexities and natural variability of high testosterone in women.

She suggests that incorporating medical insights can provide a better understanding of how hormone levels affect performance and health.

Bove adds, “Why should women be excluded for something that naturally occurs in their bodies? Policies should be inclusive, consider natural hormonal variations, and maintain transparent criteria to ensure fair competition.”

She also notes that while women with naturally higher testosterone may have certain advantages in sports, this does not mean their gender should be questioned.

Bove illustrates this by pointing out that Jamaican runner Usain Bolt’s muscle composition, which contributed to his speed, was due to genetics rather than an unfair advantage.

Preventing disinformation in media reporting is also crucial, as media coverage can frame narratives and shape public opinion.

For instance, The Daily Mail’s headline, “Olympics gender row boxer Imane Khelif bursts in tears and declares ‘I am a woman’ – as she gloats about ‘winning a medal for Algeria and Arabs’ having guaranteed at least a bronze after her quarter final victory,” questions Khelif’s gender and portrays her as self-congratulatory.

To add insult to injury, this framing not only perpetuates racial biases but also intensifies the bullying Khelif has endured.

“Journalists and sports officials should receive diversity and inclusion training to promote transparent reporting standards, and ensure that policies are informed by a broad range of perspectives,” says Bove. 

“Media outlets should be evaluated for balanced and accurate coverage, and sports organisations must implement anti-discrimination policies to foster an environment of respect and equality.”

While there’s a long way to go to get these improvements in place, some changes are currently being discussed.

A Joint Paris 2024 Boxing Unit/IOC Statement on Thursday, August 1, indicated that the IOC needs National Boxing Federations to reach a consensus around a new International Federation for boxing to be included in the sports programme of the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.

As Khelif prepares to compete against Chinese boxer Yang Liu for the gold medal this Friday, we can only hope that the focus will remain on the Algerian boxer’s talents and not on trolling.

Un nuovo post è stato pubblicato su https://www.staipa.it/blog/la-disinformazione-nel-ring-come-la-propaganda-ha-trasformato-due-pugilesse-in-bersagli/?feed_id=1617&_unique_id=66b351d3d338d %TITLE% Non sono uno "sportivo", non come lo intende chi lo sport lo segue dalla poltrona, e non sono particolarmente attratto dagli sport competitivi. Ma come ormai si nota sono attratto dai temi sociali e politici e per qualche motivo queste Olimpiadi 2024 sembrano più interessanti per questi ultimi che per le performance sportive. A questo punto, tocca scriverne. Tutto è iniziato con un banchetto dionisiaco in cui qualcuno ha visto un'ultima cena, nonostante un tizio vestito di blu con in testa frutta e verdura su un tavolo pieno di fiori e frutta non ricordasse propriamente un richiamo ai miti giudaico-cristiani. Tuttavia, era un buon modo per fare polemica, per offendere la Francia e il suo senso di libertà, per far parlare di sé come difensori di qualcosa che non ha gran bisogno di essere difeso. Il tutto, badiamo bene, perché gli attori non erano normo conformati a quanto prescritto dagli uomini di chiesa. In fondo, la solita invidia per la capacità dei Francesi di essere liberi e di manifestare il proprio senso di libertà. Sarebbe potuta finire lì, avrebbe potuto non sembrare solo un pretesto per parlare ancora e lamentarsi ancora del fantomatico complotto mondiale del gender, lo sarebbe stato se si fosse chiusa lì, fino all'arrivo dell'incontro tra Imane Khelif e Angela Carini. A quel punto, un'atleta che da anni sta facendo la propria normalissima carriera, di cui nessuno si è lamentato, è diventata praticamente il caso mediatico del millennio. Per capire se questo sia solo un pretesto, come quello di scambiare un banchetto con un uomo blu pieno di frutta per l'ultima cena, forse basta seguire la storia di questa notizia. La presunta notizia di due pugili "uomini" alle Olimpiadi del 2024 è un esempio emblematico di come l'ecosistema dell'informazione contemporaneo possa distorcere la realtà. Sì, perché in realtà l'avversaria della nostra atleta italiana non era l'unica in una situazione simile. Parlare di questa vicenda e di come si sia sviluppata è un buon modo di parlare di come le posizioni radicali possano mescolarsi indistintamente con il mainstream, e come insinuazioni, diffamazioni e fatti possano confondersi fino a creare narrazioni ingannevoli. Le principali vittime di questa disinformazione sono state l'algerina Imane Khelif, soprattutto in Italia, e la taiwanese Lin Yu-ting. Queste atlete però rappresentano solo gli ultimi bersagli di una guerra ideologica che va avanti da molto tempo e che non si concluderà con le Olimpiadi di Parigi, né con l'introduzione di nuove regole per le future edizioni, posto che le regole attuali sui livelli di testosterone non siano già sufficienti. Il primo sito di rilievo a riportare la notizia della presunta partecipazione di due pugili squalificate dall'IBA alle Olimpiadi di Parigi è Reduxx, un sito che si autodefinisce di "notizie femministe" ma che in realtà pubblica esclusivamente articoli negativi sulle persone trans. La strategia di Reduxx è simile a quella di altri siti o pagine razziste che pubblicano solo notizie di reati commessi da immigrati, creando così una percezione distorta e pericolosa di interi gruppi sociali. Tra le co-fondatrici di Reduxx c'è Anna Slatz, nota per le sue collaborazioni con siti di estrema destra come Rebel News o The Publica, dove i contenuti transfobici si mescolano a quelli razzisti e alle teorie cospirazioniste sui vaccini. L'articolo di Reduxx, pubblicato il 27 luglio, evita termini come "atlete transgender" o "maschi", utilizzando invece eufemismi e insinuazioni, spesso con l'uso di virgolette ("female boxers"). Slatz avanza l'ipotesi che le atlete in questione possano avere un Disordine dello Sviluppo Sessuale (DSD), e cita la questione dei "cromosomi" nel titolo, riferendosi a un lancio dell'agenzia Tass del marzo 2023 e a un articolo di Russia Today.

L'articolo include anche un'intervista con una co-fondatrice dell'Independent Council on Women’s Sports, che ribadisce l'importanza di reintrodurre i test del sesso alle Olimpiadi. Secondo questa intervista, le federazioni dei paesi delle due atlete avrebbero approfittato delle dispute tra IBA e CIO per "far salire pugili maschi sul ring contro le donne, competendo per le medaglie olimpiche femminili". La rilevanza dell'articolo di Reduxx è duplice: non solo per la tempistica, ma anche perché introduce le parole di Kremlev e il sospetto che le due atlete siano "uomini". Il discorso sui "corpi maschili" e la transfobia esplicita sono sostituiti da discussioni su cromosomi, livelli di testosterone e DSD. La diffusione dell'articolo di Reduxx non è limitata ai circuiti del femminismo critico nei confronti del gender, ma coinvolge anche figure di spicco che condividono posizioni contro l'ideologia gender, come il biologo evoluzionista Richard Dawkins. Dawkins, riprendendo le parole di Kremlev, parla di "uomini mascherati da donne". The Guardian, con un articolo del 29 luglio firmato dal giornalista sportivo Sean Ingle, contribuisce ulteriormente a diffondere la voce sui cromosomi. Ingle, che ha trattato spesso le questioni relative all'ammissione di atleti trans nelle federazioni sportive femminili, cita Kremlev senza contestualizzare le accuse transfobiche né i dubbi sui test condotti. Ad esempio, non menziona che le due atlete non avevano superato un test del Campionato Mondiale del 2022, ma era stato loro permesso di partecipare l'anno successivo dopo aver effettuato il test nelle fasi finali. Né specifica che la decisione di squalifica nel 2023 era stata presa da Kremlev e un altro dirigente e successivamente ratificata dal direttivo, o che la federazione taiwanese avesse effettuato test di verifica. Un altro aspetto peculiare di come Ingle ha gestito il caso è in un tweet dove condivide le domande inviate al CIO. La prima recita: “Il CIO pensa sia giusto che chi è passato attraverso una pubertà maschile abbia la possibilità di competere nelle categorie femminili - dove i rischi per la sicurezza sono alti?”. Mentre la seconda chiede un commento su chi accusa il CIO di “sminuire le fondamenta stesse della categoria femminile”. La domanda insinua così un’informazione non vera, ossia che le due atlete squalificate siano passate attraverso una pubertà maschile, o che alle Olimpiadi ci siano “maschi biologici” nelle categorie femminili. https://twitter.com/seaningle/status/1818317476184440905 Sono quindi domande che portano nello scenario concreto (il caso della squalifica e dei test) degli scenari fittizi e dei sospetti, in un clima già inquinato dalla disinformazione. Difatti poi nella fase finale dell’articolo si riporta un dato scientifico che serve solo ad alimentare il framing “uomini che picchiano le donne sul ring”: “Le ricerche scientifiche”, scrive Ingle, “hanno dimostrato che la potenza media di un pugno di chi è passato attraverso una pubertà maschile è superiore del 162% rispetto a quello di una donna”. Dopo la pubblicazione dell’articolo, il caso dilaga ed è ormai discusso ovunque, dalle editorialiste gender critical della stampa britannica a Donald Trump, Elon Musk e J.K. Rowling. Personaggi notoriamente critici verso queste tematiche. https://twitter.com/realDonParody/status/1818999754526753235 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1818986936310075743 https://twitter.com/jk_rowling/status/1819007216214573268?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1819007216214573268%7Ctwgr%5E17eb2bb1752843ba18dbdc3649b7942d4187b5b6%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fdeadline.com%2F2024%2F08%2Fjk-rowling-elon-musk-attack-olympics-imane-khelif-angela-carini-boxing-1236028749%2F Nonostante uno di loro abbia una figlia transessuale (https://short.staipa.it/jxtf3). La storia di Lin Yu-ting, in Italia quasi ignorata, è particolarmente significativa. L'opinione pubblica taiwanese ha alzato gli scudi dopo dato che è stata proprio la violenza di genere a spingere la ragazza verso la boxe.

Figlia di un padre violento è stato il desiderio di proteggere la madre a portarla a scoprire la sua vocazione sportiva. In tutto questo nessuno, al di fuori di chi ha fatto le analisi e certificato la loro idoneità sa davvero nulla di cosa ci sia, o non ci sia, di diverso nelle due donne rispetto alle loro concorrenti. L'IBA stessa, unica a dare dettagli, li ha dati contraddittori, dichiarando in una fase perfino che la squalifica del 2023 non fosse relativa a un problema con il testosterone. Questo non ha impedito a politici e persone di spettacolo di cavalcare le opinioni, di bullizzare con la solita narrazione della prepotenza (e dell’ignoranza) (https://short.staipa.it/g4kud). Con lo scudo della violenza sulle donne e della loro difesa non si sono preoccupati di cosa voglia dire per una atleta olimpica essere sotto i riflettori delle accuse, degli insulti e delle offese del mondo intero proprio durante una competizione della quale non ha violato nessuna regola e nella quale è stata valutata, analizzata e accettata pienamente. Il tutto proprio durante la competizione. Se fosse accaduto un analogo tentativo di intimorire un qualsiasi altro atleta prima di un incontro per un qualunque altro motivo, chiunque avrebbe capito quanto sbagliato fosse. Si sarebbe addirittura parlato di incontro truccato nei confronti dell'altra parte, in questo caso probabilmente altrettanto vittima di una pressione sociale mostruosa. Cosa sarebbe accaduto se a cadere sotto la pressione mediatica fosse stata l'atleta algerina? Questa storia mostra come la disinformazione possa distorcere la realtà e danneggiare le persone, creando un clima di sospetto e odio basato su pregiudizi e disinformazione, ed è proprio su questo clima di odio che si basa la campagna politica di molti. Di tutti quelli che hanno cavalcato quest'onda senza sapere nulla della realtà, perché nulla è stato ufficialmente detto. Parole al vento, bullismo contro due atlete olimpiche durante le competizioni, e nessuna scusa.

"Khelif? Un bravo pugile uomo". E Trump annuncia la stretta: "Con me non succederà" Non si placano le polemiche su Imane Khelif. La pugile algerina ieri ha battuto per 5-0 l'ungherese Anna Luca Hamori, assicurandosi una medaglia certa alle Olimpiadi di Parigi. Ma la sua partecipazione alla categoria 66 kg continua a essere elemento di discussione. Sulla questione è intervenuto Donald Trump che, in occasione di un suo comizio ad Atlanta, ha parlato della recente sfida sul ring che ha visto la pugile italiana Angela Carini abbandonare l'incontro. L'ex presidente degli Stati Uniti si è dunque focalizzato sull'incontro olimpico di pugilato femminile, definendo Khelif "un pugile uomo" e spiegando ai presenti la dinamica che ha portato l'atleta azzurra a lasciare il campo di combattimento. La campionessa italiana - ha affermato il candidato dei repubblicani per la Casa Bianca - ha dovuto affrontare "una persona che ha fatto la transizione, un bravo pugile uomo che l'ha colpita così forte che non sapeva cosa stesse accadendo". "Lui l'ha colpita con due diretti e lei ha detto 'sono fuori'", ha aggiunto. Il tycoon ha così ricostruito i contorni della sfida tra Carini e Khelif che nei giorni scorsi ha scatenato la bufera: non si tratta di una semplice polemica sportiva legata alle Olimpiadi, ma è diventata una vera e propria questione mondiale su cui anche la politica è intervenuta. In molti hanno chiesto al Comitato olimpico internazionale di riflettere sulla presenza dell'algerina sul ring contro le donne: l'Ungheria ha alzato lo scontro con tanto di lettera al Cio, mentre il Comitato olimpico di Algeri sta pensando di sporgere denuncia contro Hamori accusandola di dichiarazioni "offensive" contro l'avversaria. Inoltre Trump ha colto l'occasione per lanciare un avvertimento su quella che, dal suo punto di vista, potrebbe essere la deriva con cui gli Stati Uniti potrebbero fare i conti in caso di vittoria dei democratici alle elezioni presidenziali di novembre: "Quello che sta succedendo alle Olimpiadi di Parigi accadrà anche qui con Kamala Harris". E poi ha scandito a chiare lettere una promessa davanti al suo pubblico: "Con me gli uomini non parteciperanno agli sport femminili". Nel corso degli ultimi anni il dibattito politico in America è stato assai animato sulla partecipazione degli atleti transgender agli sport femminili. "Non permetteremo agli uomini di giocare negli sport femminili, questo finirà immediatamente", ha garantito Trump a luglio. Nelle scorse ore The Donald ha ribadito l'intenzione di "proteggere donne e ragazze". Un portavoce ha spiegato che il tycoon non tollererà che gli uomini gareggino negli sport femminili, una realtà bollata come "folle e ingiusta che è stata lasciata emergere a causa di politici della sinistra radicale come Kamala Harris".
