The Right-Wing Campaign to Purge Women From Women’s Sports
Algerian boxer Imane Khelif is the latest Olympic athlete deemed insufficiently female by extremists obsessed with the strictest of gender binaries.
You're viewing a single thread.
Why isn't this labeled as an opinion piece? There's nothing in here to substantiate the headline and almost no journalism. I'm not used to work like this from The Intercept.
Can you explain a bit more? I just finished the article and I came to the opposite conclusion.
There's a single quote of half a sentence from the New York Post, other than that where is the "right wing campaign"? Referencing Twitter and quoting other journalists does not equal journalism. Moreover, I see no reference at all to women being "purged" from women's sports. This story is 98% opinion and 2% facts.
The far right prime minister of Italy attacked Khelif saying that it's an injustice that she was allowed to compete, and far right politicians all over the world have started calling her a man flat out.
I feel like you're just being wilfully ignorant and hyperbolic. These days I don't have the energy for folks like you.
The intercept is known for their hit pieces. See the Ken Klippenstein article on David Grusch.
