All boxers, including Algeria’s Imane Khelif, who won Olympic gold last summer amid scrutiny over a disputed failed gender eligibility test conducted by a different body, will be unable to compete without a test which reveals their biological sex.

They aren’t. The female boxer everyone bitches about was, in fact, born female.

"Khelif has always competed in the women’s division and is recognised by the IOC as a female athlete.
“The Algerian boxer was born female, was registered female, lived her life as a female, boxed as a female, has a female passport,” IOC spokesperson Mark Adams said on Friday.
“This is not a transgender case. There has been some confusion that somehow it’s a man fighting a woman. This is just not the case. On that there is consensus, scientifically this is not a man fighting a woman.”"
"Mark Adams, Spokesperson, International Olympic Committee:
The Algerian boxer was born female, was registered female, lived her life as a female, boxed as a female, has a female passport. This is not a transgender case.
William Brangham:
Amid the attacks, Khelif’s father came to his daughter’s defense.
Amar Khelif, Father of Imane Khelif (through interpreter): This is our official family document, May 2, 1999, Imane Khelif, a female. It is written here. You can read it. This document doesn’t lie. The people who are lying and leading a fierce campaign against her are the enemies of God. The attacks against her are immoral, it is not fair.
Imane is a little girl that has loved sport since she was 6 years old."
Lol @ the edit, I guess you like seeing male goats cross your bridge? Delicious.
Why can’t you refer to people as transgender/trans-women in this discussion? You want to take the position that its unfair competition, fine we can talk about that. But when you refer to all transgender women as “males” you just come off as a troll or an asshole. That’s why people are downvoting you, not because we all love seeing women getting beaten up…
By that definition all trans-men would be eligible to compete in the women’s competition and would result in a man beating up a woman… the very same fucking thing that this is about.
Horseshit headline. There isn’t a genetic test that “reveals biological sex” because biological sex is not strictly genetic. That’s why they stopped doing genetic tests in the 1980s.
The headline should read “Competitors will participate in performative pseudoscience to appease bigots.”
Will the men also be subjected to gender testing?
No. We are only subjecting women to uncomfortable, humiliating shit so that we can isolate and torture minorities as much as possible.
