[Transphobia] context: Algerian cis AFAB boxer punches an Italian boxer
In the same time they're claiming Algeria is woke and sent a trans woman, they also claim Algerians are backwards who beat up women.
You're viewing a single thread.
I don't understand this at all. Why does this hag think that the Algerian is transgender or whatever she is claiming?
Its taking the whole transphobia rhetoric to the fullest extent where terfs will claim any cis women specifically (very specifically non white) are secretly men but the woke society will gladly ignore that. Its a lot of weird shit. These terfs want to establish there's a rigid binary of masculinity and femininity. And any person who isn't falling into the weird patriarchal feminine standards is a man to them.
The cherry on top is that people like rowling want to pretend that this is a grave injustice being carried out towards wombyn.
Thank you. I think everytime I've come across instances of hormone level gating it has always been non-white women affected by it.
Another reason why I think "Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist" is an inaccurate and shouldn't be used. Real radical feminists are cool as fuck. These are regressive misogynists and they'll eventually turn on cis women who don't fit their own warped views on gender. I can't remember where I saw this, but I once saw someone suggest the term FART, which I think means "Feminism-Appropriating Reactionary Transphobes."
I mean yeah true. These are not even feminists let alone radical. They are run of mill reactionary.
totally agree, and also
they'll eventually turn on cis women who don't fit their own warped views on gender
That's exactly what this situation is!
People are going after this boxer because she previously was disqualified from a tournament in 2023 for failing their "sex test" because she has high levels of testosterone. Notably I believe the international boxing association ran this tournament, an organization the IOC has cut ties with. I don't know if there is a confirmed reason for her high T levels but it could be due to many genetic factors
The IBA said that she has XY chromosomes but that may not be reputable, and even if true, it may not be the cause of the elevated testosterone levels as she was born with a "standard" female anatomy. She is a high-level athlete, she probably was taking steroids and timed the end of her cycle a bit to closely to that event. I'd imagine that her T levels were below the limit for the Olympics as they are allowing her compete.
I'm sure that plenty of XX cis women have the same issue with steroids all the time but we never hear about it because they weren't born woke.
Also the boxer that lost was having an equipment issue and stated after the loss that she had no issue fighting Khelif, so she's not even complaining about it.
Do you have a source for the XY chromosomes? The only source I've seen that from is the IBA which as I mentioned isn't a trustworthy source necessarily. I've seen the president of the IBA claim that in a an interview with Russian media but they haven't put out anything past that.
Not saying XY chromosomes would change my opinion on the situation but it would be helpful to know
That's the only place I've seen it, so it may not be reputable. I've noticed that some articles are not including that statement, so it may not be 100% verified.
Thanks
