These people think she’s not fuckable so therefore she’s not a woman, and furthermore think women’s sports are worthless unless they see the athletes as fuckable. That’s it. It’s patriarchy with a new coat of paint.
The two genders: male and fuckable
Have some Lemmy Gold.
Wasn’t this was the Ancient Greek version of gender?
I think it’s because they think the trans woman still has biologically male factors that make the competition not a competition.
There is no trans woman in this case. A female boxer, born and raised as a woman, is being attacked and called a man. What OP is saying is that it’s basically because they don’t see her as attractive, and that’s definitely a major component of it.
What it comes down to is that they’re so obsessed with the idea of trans women that they start seeing them everywhere, and it usually comes down to someone not being quite feminine enough in some way, though there have been cases of people trying to claim some of the most conventionally attractive women in the world were secretly trans.
Are you forgetting the whole subculture of “transvestigation”? They were the Q-anon conspiracy theorists before Q-anon, and even Michelle Obama was claimed to be trans by this lot.
Have article that isn’t paywalled? I just read the preview before it cut me off and it seemed like it was about a trans woman
"It remains unclear what standards Khelif and Lin Yu Ting of Taiwan failed last year to lead to the disqualifications.
The IOC, which is overseeing the boxing competition in Paris, does not test for gender, and there never has been evidence that either Khelif or Lin had XY chromosomes or elevated levels of testosterone. They have competed for years, including at the Tokyo Olympics and several world championships."

So, none of that is true. She may have high testosterone (which isn’t even confirmed), but none of what you said follows. That isn’t even how that works.
According to who?
They think she’s not fuckable and therefore she’s not a woman. All the proof I need is the literal fact that she’s not trans.
Yeah fair enough. I looked her up on Wikipedia and verified. However she failed sex eligibility test in 2023 IBA.
Khelif had been disqualified by the IBA hours before the gold medal match in 2023, reportedly for having high levels of testosterone.
that’s the pretense, yes.
They just hate women and more so if they aren’t white women.
What a shit website. Demands I sign up to read lol, uhh no? Ublock, you failed me.
Really?! I have never seen a paywall there, and I usually access it using tor browser (so, coming from a variety of countries).
I’m using mobile. It’s a full screen for me, no way I can see to circumvent it.
