[Other Sport] Boxing 🥊 Carini v Khelif.

[Leekbrookgull]

Only seen a bit via the BBC link but and it's just my opinion felt sorry for Italy's Angela Carini against what i thought was a very manly looking opponent in Algerian Imane Khelif and a mis match in my eyes, however others may see it differently ?

Should never have happened, sorry if it offends but a man should never fight a woman.

Khelif is not a man, and never has been.

This is not a “trans” issue, she was born a woman and still is.

Algerian Imane Khelif knew she was going to get a lot of criticism. You can complain about it if you like, but you can't deny that she's got balls.

Ok. So why does she have a Y chromosome?

 

[A1X]

Ok. So why does she have an X chromosome?

Because everyone does.

 

[The Clamp]

That’s a man beating up a woman for a medal.

They need to stop this immediately.

 

[Bakero]

Females do tend to have an X Chromosome

Females do tend to have an X Chromosome

Thank you Why does she also have a Y chromosome?

 

[A1X]

Thank you Why does she also have a Y chromosome?

She doesn’t. At least not in the traditional way.

She is not, and never has been, a man.

The person failed the IBF rules to fight as a woman 2 years in a row and was not allowed to fight in the World Championship.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

This.

However, i jumped to the same conclusion that many have, from the way the story is being discussed on SM and media outlets.

Several hours later, I found out that the term "biological Male" refers to the chromosomes present in Khelif ( natal sex female).
And not a transgender female.

Whilst not disputing that she has physical attributes of a man, which may give her an advantage.
Much of the reporting of this is deliberately slanted to portray her as transgender, which she is not.

Really? Yet another 'combatative' thread for people to get their chops into, who'da thunk it. Bring on the football season, bring back the Bear Pit.

She is not, and never has been, a man.

She failed a gender test on the basis that she has an XY chromosome pair. If that's wrong, and she was born female, and is female, then what on earth is there even a discussion for?

Someone was going to post a thread on this, it's a huge topic of debate.

Olympic thread?

There are more then just XY and XX chromosomes. There is XXY and XO. XO is usually with a missing sexual chromosome and can go undetected.

Olympic thread?

And then get accused of derailing that thread?

It’s just another thread. You can ignore it. Literally remove it from your screen.

A thread I don’t intend to contribute any further to.

You can spin it any way you wish.

That’s a man. He shouldn’t be fighting women.

 

[Triggaaar]

Olympic thread?

Personally I think it's a bigger topic than that, but if the mods want it in the Olympic thread, I'm sure they'll put it there.
