They also said he won 23 Olympic golds in total, which is utterly ridiculous. I think they said Phelps never won 2 in a night like the kid tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krimzon Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 The Walk race is bollocks. Not only does it look ridiculous but how can they possibly monitor every step of every athlete for the entire course. And when did they bring it down from 50km to 20km ? Pansies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Winchester White Posted August 1 Site Supporter Share Posted August 1 It's a lot more nuanced than the reports and claims on X. It's not like that swimmer still with a cock and balls squeezed into a swimsuit. There's two boxers which what seems like raised testosterone, they aren't trans girls. Also, a boxing commentator on the radio today sid her who won today isn't actually that hard a hitter. If she actually was a trans girl then I would agree she should be competing.

In the gender/sex tests he came out as a male.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc505 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Sad for Murray, just thought they were getting into it but unfortunately not. What I like about the scheduling of this is just as the stuff we've been seeing all week starts to get a bit samey, the track and field kicks off properly tomorrow 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think more needed to be done before all this furore. Could be dodgy chromosomes but it's wrong to call her a male imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted August 1 Site Supporter Share Posted August 1 It's either a bloke or should be treated as one. Just dangerous, and the interview the beeb did with some boxing fella made that quite clear. Arguing over semantics doesn't protect the women.

L/H White Posted August 1 Author Share Posted August 1 (edited) If you're born with a cock you shouldn't be fighting a person born with a minge, it's as simple as that Id love Simone Biles to crush me with her thighs BMX racing is fun Should have a chance of gold in the women's race tomorrow Edited August 1 by L/H White Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted August 1 Site Supporter Share Posted August 1 That bmx lass was miles ahead in her heat, but a touch slower than the other heat leader. Going to be a great spectacle I reckon, but not going to be easy to retain the title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, though he also wasn't born purely as a woman as detailed earlier. Hence common sense must prevail, and protecting women athletes.

jeep Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Unfortunately the IOC don't seem interested in protecting women athletes.... It's a disgrace that he's been banned from competing in the world championships but allowed to fight women in the Olympics.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggy Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Can’t seem to find a good explanation anywhere of the situation with the boxer. They’re obviously identifying as a woman now but have they confirmed whether they were born as a man or woman? Or is it unknown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lt. Aldo Raine Posted August 1 Members Share Posted August 1 Khelif almost certainly has a sexual development disorder similar to Swyer syndrome, if not Swyer syndrome itself, and therefore, despite having female genitalia, has XY chromosomes and is to all intents and purposes biologically male But it's a different issue to the transgender issue and is more morally complex as a result One thing that is certain, though, is that the eligibility standard the IOC imposes i.e. the sex of the person is considered to be the sex as stated on their passport, is politically ideological and ridiculously lax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggy Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Thanks very much. As you say, it feels a more difficult one to judge given they were born a woman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
