These people think she’s not fuckable so therefore she’s not a woman, and furthermore think women’s sports are worthless unless they see the athletes as fuckable. That’s it. It’s patriarchy with a new coat of paint.
The two genders: male and fuckable
Have some Lemmy Gold.
You wouldn’t fuck a couch, would you?
Oh, you would? Then mind your own business.
Hey, don’t kink shame.
Couches literally have more cushion for the pushin’
Wasn’t this was the Ancient Greek version of gender?
I think it’s because they think the trans woman still has biologically male factors that make the competition not a competition.
There is no trans woman in this case. A female boxer, born and raised as a woman, is being attacked and called a man. What OP is saying is that it’s basically because they don’t see her as attractive, and that’s definitely a major component of it.
What it comes down to is that they’re so obsessed with the idea of trans women that they start seeing them everywhere, and it usually comes down to someone not being quite feminine enough in some way, though there have been cases of people trying to claim some of the most conventionally attractive women in the world were secretly trans.
Are you forgetting the whole subculture of “transvestigation”? They were the Q-anon conspiracy theorists before Q-anon, and even Michelle Obama was claimed to be trans by this lot.
Have article that isn’t paywalled? I just read the preview before it cut me off and it seemed like it was about a trans woman
"It remains unclear what standards Khelif and Lin Yu Ting of Taiwan failed last year to lead to the disqualifications.
The IOC, which is overseeing the boxing competition in Paris, does not test for gender, and there never has been evidence that either Khelif or Lin had XY chromosomes or elevated levels of testosterone. They have competed for years, including at the Tokyo Olympics and several world championships."

So, none of that is true. She may have high testosterone (which isn’t even confirmed), but none of what you said follows. That isn’t even how that works.
According to who?
This person on the internet told me…
They think she’s not fuckable and therefore she’s not a woman. All the proof I need is the literal fact that she’s not trans.
Yeah fair enough. I looked her up on Wikipedia and verified. However she failed sex eligibility test in 2023 IBA.
Khelif had been disqualified by the IBA hours before the gold medal match in 2023, reportedly for having high levels of testosterone.
Worth noting that the IBA is not considered credible by the IOC, is considered highly influenced by Russian corruption, and that this failure came just after she defeated a Russian.
Also, despite whatever tests she may have failed in the past, she passed eligibility tests to compete in these Olympics.
What tests did the Olympics do?

Also worth noting that anyone who thinks Algeria would send a trans woman to the Olympics is pretty ignorant.
Yes, we were expecting a clue that transphobe halfwits are ignorant. Can they even define what trans is? I don’t think so.
I know it involves a test of testosterone levels. I don’t know the limits of those tests, how much testosterone means a person isn’t a woman anymore.
And as I read some where here, if testosterone levels is unfair advantage why aren’t there limits in the men’s league too? It is so just they police women bodies (cis and trans alike). Here is the original comment but I did not record the username, so sadly I can’t credit them
If testosterone is a PED and it doesn’t matter if the athlete is cis or not, then there should be a hard limit for both male and female athletes to ensure fairness. If too much testosterone is only a problem for women then clearly it’s a sexist attempt to police women’s bodies. Every human body produces some amount of testosterone, either too much is an unfair advantage or it isn’t.
that’s the pretense, yes.
Ive always had this feeling, increasingly validated lately, that there’s some weird push to invalidate all women that the right doesn’t find fuckable.
There’s all this coming after women for having T, and before the Olympics there’s been a rise in this “if you think this woman is attractive (generic female athlete), you’re GAY” Content.
It’s really obvious when they’re having a go at cisgender white women about makeup or certain clothes or haircuts or body types. You always see the same comments explaining to women that they ackshually prefer ‘natural looks’ or less revealing clothing or long hair or ‘something to hold on to’.
It’s all through a lens of ‘why do you make choices about yourself that don’t improve your appeal to me, someone who wants to fuck you’.
That there are women that completely reject all those notions or don’t seek their opinions (women who are trans, women who aren’t hetero, women who reject traditional feminine looks, women who excel in their careers or physical sports) simply doesn’t compute with these people’s view of what women are.
The more malicious parts of that mindset lead to that push you’re talking about. We as women are still just something that needs to validate its existence. Any deviation from that is viewed as something that should never have existed at all.

They just hate women and more so if they aren’t white women.
There should be a campaign to purge the right from, well, everything.
there is, it’s just not going very well.
Mock them more.
There were many throughout the years but they always end in authoritarianism, censorship, corruption, surveillance, povery, hunger, death and eventual collapse.
What a shit website. Demands I sign up to read lol, uhh no? Ublock, you failed me.
Reader mode easily bypasses that
Is reader mode available on mobile?
Yes
It is on mine?
Really?! I have never seen a paywall there, and I usually access it using tor browser (so, coming from a variety of countries).
I’m using mobile. It’s a full screen for me, no way I can see to circumvent it.

The worst thing to do is to pretend there is no issue. There is an issue, it’s an issue people get easily upset about. There has to be a precise way how to deal with it so there is no room for it being a political issue.
The right is ruining women sports… No wonder the left is so disconnected from reality with this astral plane traversing level of projection.
