🅰🅻🅸🅲🅴 (🌈🦄)Guess I'm not watching the Olympics anymore.
CD-JEN 80 minutes📀🏳️⚧️@alice Preparing the popcorn for the backlash when they'll realise that the people it'll impact at 100% are cis women.
No Fucks EvergivenAhem, that Algerian fighter (Imane Khelif*) is fucking cis.
Her father had to show her birth certificate to the world to prove she is and always has been a girl.
Angela Carini can suck it. I don't care if I'm Italian too, she's a shame for my country, she's a shame for the whole Italian military corps.
* thank you, @linuxandyarn I've edited my post
@anominominominous yeah, the quote from Rowling in that article is bonkers, like how can she be so wrong and yet so smug about it?
Alexa Devreux-SwiftThat is a venomous, spiteful and slanderous thing to say. Imane is a woman, and always has been, and has proven to be by her family and state authorities. Algeria should sue Enoch Blyton for ever last penny.
João Tiago Rebelo (NAFO J-121)@alexadeswift one of my country's top newspapers (in printed numbers, not quality) called Imane Khelif "an intersex athlete", they did that while publishing her photo and added the title "transgender women out of the Olympics". I felt sick reading it.

@jt_rebelo ugh, it's like their feelings don't care about facts. Another example of self-tattling.
They have never cared about facts, it is all about them and their revulsion against difference. It is akin to "uncanny valley", they see a woman who doesn't pressent " correctly" as a woman and they are instantly revolted by what they see, or more accurately, perceive, and go instantly in to attack that person. The use of dehumanising language here is deliberate as well, as this means that they do not see us as human beings. Amd that further enables their vendetta of hate.
Rachel Rawlings@anominominominous @transcendentempress @alice And the whole controversy over Imane Khelif began because of sour grapes and Russian corruption.

Imane Khelif outcry fueled by banned boxing body with Russia ties
The allegations that Olympic boxers Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting failed an eligibility test for women's competition have been made by only the International Boxing Association. That's also the only governing body that has ever been completely banished from the Olympics. The entire boxing world has already learned to expect almost anything from the Russian-dominated organization, whose untransparent tests have been seized upon by those criticizing the female boxers amid wider clashes about gender regulations and perceptions in sports. The IOC has decades of bad history with the beleaguered governing body, and it has exasperatedly begged non-boxing people to pay attention to the sole source of the allegations against Khelif and Lin.
kit@anominominominous @transcendentempress @alice Birth certificate doens't count. It's a genetic test for sry which in and of it self isn't conclusive either.
I wonder what support and councelling services they'll offer to people who suddenly find out that their 23rd chromosme pair isn't what they thought, in at least some of their cells, regardless of what sort of body they have.
None, of course. Being arbitrarily cast aside, and having your life turned upside down is the point.
Blah blah blah.
They should test the "men" too then.
But trans* and intersex men don't even exist in bigots' deranged world.
@anominominominous Absolutely. If they test one athlete they should test all regardless of sex or gender presentation.
But it's not about fairness, or justice or even reasonable moral choices, it's about entertainment for profit so that the billionaire class can suck up every more money.
rainynight65@anominominominous @transcendentempress @alice And Imane Khelif was banned by her father from boxing as a child because it was 'not a sport for girls'.
@anominominominous @alice @linuxandyarn Never meant in any way that she isn't, what I wrote was in the sense that this kind of shitty policies is aimed, in the twisted minds of those behind them, at trans women, and like 100% of previous ones, it'll have impact almost exclusively on cis women.
Cairo Braga@transcendentempress @alice it will also disproportionally affect non-white cis (and interssex) women. transphobia is also white supremacy, let's not forget.
@cairobraga have you read today's Jornal de Notícias front page? I felt physically sick with that one.
