You're viewing part of a thread.
The person you are responding seems uninformed on the topic of Imane and in spreading misinform.
However, Russia does have a sordid history messing with international sports. Look up all the scandals in figure skating and also last year Olympics. I'm not sure why they do it. I think it has to do with projecting power on the world stage.
I'm steering clear of the topic of Imane.
No you aren't. You're arguing about trans women athletes competing in the Olympics against cis women in a thread specifically about Imane.
I'm arguing about the classification rules of the Olympic committee because the current rules are not sufficiently clear and have caused needless distress to at least two gold medal winners.
No, the rules are very clear. It's just right wing nutcases making up shit just to stir up trouble. The rules are there, and they've been in place long before this particular Olympic event.
"The gender and age of the athletes are based on their passport"
These definitions are not medically certified nor standardised across countries.
So what?
