    Boxer loses fight, conservatives pretend to care about women or womens’ sports and lose their minds. Same song, different day.

    Imagine. All the horrible, tragic, and important things happening in the world and what you all choose to (pretend to) care about is the chromosomal makeup of Olympic boxers.

      Also the boxer isn’t even trans. The article says she grew up female and her parents discouraged her from getting into boxing as a kid because it was seen as a masculine sport. It seems like she only discovered she has a Y chromosome once she joined a boxing league that checked the chromosomes of boxers. The Olympics don’t have rules regarding chromosomes of athletes so she’s allowed to compete.

        @ImplyingImplications @originalfrozenbanana

        people who justify men beating up women simply don’t belong in civilized society. outside of election results that beggar belief, it’s easy to just decide these shills aren’t real - like the bots we see that forget to change the language, or the paid astroturf accounts.

        OMG did you hear about project 2025? women will be men’s property? uh, no, you’re thinking of the olympics. the opening ceremony was mentall illness, this is just more of hte same.

        @ImplyingImplications @originalfrozenbanana Finally, somebody here is getting to the root of the discussion.

        Does #ImaneKhelif have a Y chromosome? Maybe she is #intersex or something. At first I thought she just might have above average #testosterone or was juicing.

        I am no fan of men competing against women but I feel like if she was #trans, she would have either said something about it, or someone from her past would have.

        Saying “He’s not even trans, he’s just a regular dude punching women” is a helluva take

            Anyone born with a Y chromosome is a man or intersex. He didn’t know he was a man/intersex until later in life, but that absolutely refutes “born female”, “is female”, “she’s cis”, and “woman from birth”. He should not be in women’s sports, because he is not a woman

                My comment was not long, I’m not sure why you skipped past the “or intersex” twice in it.

                I don’t know what’s in his pants. I haven’t seen anyone claim other than you that he has a vagina, but that doesn’t really matter. Intersex people can have ambiguous genitals. He is still not a woman, and should not be in women’s sports. He is free to compete in men’s sports.

            We agree with each other? He’s either a man or intersex. He shouldn’t be competing in women’s sports.

      Anything thing to deflect attention away from their geriatric convicted felon candidate and his project 2025.

          You should just state “I am a misogynist” then instead of trying to deflect by saying other bad things exist too. People are allowed to care about multiple bad things going on at the same time.

            Your presidential candidate is an actual sex predator, your political party consistently erodes the rights of women, and I guarantee none of you could name either woman boxer from the story without checking twice. Your credibility when it comes to what misogyny is is nil

        She’s not a man. Either you think everyone with XY chromosomes is a man, even if they have female genitals, or you acknowledge that neither genitals nor chromosomes alone are sufficient to define gender and you acknowledge that trans people exist as their identified gender. You don’t get it both ways.

        Sorry I forgot for a second where I was and just wasted all that energy typing out something you won’t read because your side doesn’t care about the truth.

            So wait do you care about biology or the insular rules of various international sporting bodies? It’s hard to keep up with whatever you’re pretending to care about

                You come in here making a lot of WILD accusations you can’t seem to backup, calling people names and claiming to have a moral stance, yet everything you’ve said is a total reach.

                I think you should go back on your meds or something.

                No you don’t lol. I love when you right fucks try to pretend you care about women or women’s sports all of a sudden. Literally no one buys it. “Aw golly gee I just care about fairness in women’s sports” nah bro you hate trans and nonbinary people. Own it! Be the bigot you really are, loud and proud!
