> How about your trans people beating up women in boxing
You mean Imane Khelif? If so, you've been misinformed.
Khelif does not identify as trans, and described such accusations as "a big shame for my family, for the honor of my family, for the honor of Algeria, for the women of Algeria and especially the Arab world."
The evidence indicates that Khelif is a male with a disorder of sex development - not a male with a transgender identity.
There are several lines of evidence which point towards Khelif being male:
- Karotype testing from two independent labs showing XY chromosomes, as reported by sports journalist Alan Abrahamson, who has seen the lab reports and covering letter that was received by the IOC from the IBA - he quotes from them in this article: https://www.3wiresports.com/articles/2024/8/5/fa9lt6ypbwx5su...
- Georges Cazorla, who was in Khelif's training team, revealing in interview that Khelif has a problem with chromosomes and hormones, and has been under testosterone suppression to bring levels into the female range: https://www.lepoint.fr/monde/2024-olympics-imane-khelif-was-...
- Extracts from a medical report leaked to French journalist Djaffer Ait Aoudia, which reveal that Khelif has the DSD 5-alpha reductase deficiency (5-ARD, same as Caster Semenya) which exists only in males: https://lecorrespondant.net/imane-khelif-ni-ovaires-ni-uteru...
There are other oddities too, like Khelif choosing to abandon a case at the Court of Arbitration for Sport after being deemed ineligible to compete in women's boxing events hosted by the IBA. Also, Rafael Lozano, the head of the Spanish national team, recalled that when the Algerians visited to train, Khelif was matched with a male boxer to spar, as the upper body strength and punching power was far too much for the female boxers.
All of this is consistent with Khelif competing at the Olympics in women's boxing, as they only asked for identity documentation and did not verify sex - unlike weight classes which were strictly controlled by weigh-ins.
