Brutal, unfair Olympic beating tragic result of letting biological men compete in women’s sports

Do you enjoy watching men beating up women? I don’t. Any exceptions? Not that I can think of.

But the International Olympics Committee have decided otherwise. Watching men beating up women is fine so long as it’s in a huge stadium and televised for all the world to see. Got it?

I am referring of course to the boxing-ring bout in Paris Thursday, where the female Italian athlete Angela Carini was pitted against an opponent named Imane Khelif.

In the past Khelif has been deemed to be “biologically male.” That is as a bloke, a dude, a man, a fella. All those terms that we used to know how to use, but which seem to have become so complicated suddenly.

Last year Khelif was disqualified from the world championships after failing testosterone tests. It seems he was found to have higher levels of testosterone than is quite normal for a woman.

I'm fairly embarrassed to be a human. They are forcing me out of the species at this point.  Yet, I still know that I am a man, and have somehow managed to avoid punching women so far.

I identify as a Cro-Magnon.  We are not an extinct hominid, and our brain volumes are larger on average than yours.

Court Backs School That Barred Student’s ‘Two Genders’ Shirt

Student barred from wearing ‘There Are Only Two Genders’ T-shirt to middle school loses appeal

In an important ruling on student expression, a federal appeals court has upheld the authority of Massachusetts school administrators who barred a middle school student from wearing a T-shirt that said, “There Are Only Two Genders.”

A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit, in Boston, ruled unanimously that “precisely because the message was reasonably understood to be so demeaning of some other students’ gender identities, there was the potential for the back-and-forth of negative comments and slogans between factions of students” that could lead to “a deterioration in the school’s ability to educate its students.”

Liam Morrison was a 7th grader at Nichols Middle School in Middleborough, Mass., in April 2023 when he wore the shirt, which he and his father viewed as a comment on the hot political topic of gender identity and not a message aimed at any group or individual at his school, according to court papers.

Etc ...

She has been tested previously and found to have elevated testosterone levels.

Maybe the question is "Should she be able to compete against 'fully-female' competitors or is it too much of an advantage?" I don't know the answer ....

Richard Dawkins has his FarceBook account deleted because of something he wrote on 'X'. Facebook censorship knows no bounds.

Richard Dawkins’s Facebook Account Deleted After He Posted that Genetically Male Boxers Should Not Fight Women

Richard Dawkins’s Facebook account has been deleted after he posted that genetically male boxers should not fight women. The famous evolutionary biologist posted on X this morning about the shocking censorship, writing that while no reason was given for the sudden removal of the account, it seems to be linked to a post in which he’d written that “genetically male boxers such as Imane Khalif (XY undisputed) should not fight women in Olympics”. Dawkins’s tweet has so far been viewed over 10 million times.

My entire @facebook account has been deleted, seemingly (no reason given) because I tweeted that genetically male boxers such as Imane Khalif (XY undisputed) should not fight women in Olympics. Of course my opinion is open to civilised argument. But outright censorship?
