There are no trans women athletes at the Paris Olympics. So bigots manufactured them.

The true story is much more complex than can be explained clearly in a handful of rage tweets.
You're viewing a single thread.
Why are conservatives so weird when it comes to women playing sports? Like why do they care about their genitals?
Maybe we need to start calling them perverts.
They are so perverted.
Lots of weirdos and perverts out there. Bring a taser just in case.
Easy way to get arrested by one of said weirdos/perverts. Self-defense isn't particularly straightforward if you aren't straight and white.
Which is unfair, and should be changed. I'm fortunate that getting arrested would be a clearly better choice than being assaulted.
Honestly, most conservatives are just directing their rage toward whatever conservative politicians and talking heads tell them to direct it at. Conservatism lives and thrives on hate, requiring in-groups and out-groups that must be pitted against one another. The new fad is to care about a person’s genitals.
You see, conservatives don’t believe in gender equality, so someone who isn’t a cis woman will always perform better than cis women, because they believe that women are inherently weak and men are inherently strong, failing to believe that any other form of gender identity even exists.
Except here's the thing; I'm pretty sure I've read this athlete has a vagina, and has had one all of her life. They just don't understand sex, and how complex it can be.
hermaphrodite
There's nothing complex. Algerian looks like a man, so people assume said person was trans, only to find out... still shouldn't be competing against women.
Sex isn't a binary.
Everybody understands that intersex/hermaphrodite (only mentioning the latter in case someone's scientific vocabulary isn't up to date) humans are a thing.
What I don't understand is how it would be fair to all other women to let her compete. We could make an intersex/trans category, but that would be nigh non-existent due to too few competitors. It's a damned if you, damned if you don't situation.
Trans women were allowed in the Olympics for 20 years and haven't won a single gold medal. The whole debate is just some made up unscientific garble by bigots.
Imane is literally a cis-gender woman and there's no evidence that she is intersex, trans, or anything that indicates non-normative chromosome or hormone production.
It is completely fair for her to compete and it's just right wing people who are trying to claim and decide that she's not womanly enough to be considered a woman.
There are literally no trans people competing in the Olympics this year and only two non-binary competitors. This is all being posed as if the entirety of the Olympics is being skewed by trans competitors when there aren't any and this controversy is just being invented for the sake of affirming control over women.
“Those tests are not legitimate tests. The tests themselves, the process of the tests, the ad hoc nature of the tests are not legitimate,” IOC spokesperson Mark Adams told a press conference on Sunday.
“The testing, the method of the testing, the idea of the testing which happened kind of overnight. None of it is legitimate and this does not deserve any response,” Adams said.
The IOC last year stripped the IBA of its status as boxing’s governing body over management and finance issues, and took charge of the Paris Games boxing competition, applying eligibility rules from the 2016 and the 2021 Olympics.
