Botragelad: Sharrap! and don't argue on what you don't know! Tell us what determines sex if not sex chromosomes? Are you not alive, you can carry out gender test on individualss to determine the extent at which they are either male or female, it has been done severally, infact this lady in question, Algerian boxer khalif and other Asian failed gender test before the Olympics but the body in charge were discarded and they are not the one in charge of boxing in this current Olympics, the case will still be revisited after olympic, Caster Senanya also failed gender test just like the ladies afore mentioned and you can reduce the undue advantage by hormonal suppression method because one of the effects of those gene is to produce male hormone which is helpful for male athletes or those who have their chromosomes in sports and so testosterone level can be suppressed to a normal female level, the same was done for Caster Semanya before they allowed her compete again. brain54 |

yinkabeauty: That's my point exactly. Biologically there's nothing like non-binary You guys create that term on your own to suit your narrations.. Why do transgenders identified as non-binary(if truly they changed sex) |
Re: Algerian Boxer Imane Khelif Is Not Trans. by yinkabeauty: 12:01am On Aug 03 |
PJtech: Yeah, it's a social construct and it's reality, it's not that it was created just to suit narratives, the term is meant for people who TRULY don't bind to any of the main gender m or f...be it psychologically or emotionally... |

caye: They can't just dispose you like that without a test, the question is, will you pass the gender test which determines intersex people in the sports? But where I will like things to happen is there should be general test not random or test which seems to be like witch hunting, Caster Semanya of South Africa ๐ฟ๐ฆ is perhaps the person you were referring to. |

AbahJFK: An interesting take, honestly. Feel free to read only the last paragraph of this comment if you think my response is an epistle. Mistakes, accidents, etc. These are the words you've chosen to describe someone who is different. That makes me wonder, who made this mistake? Nature? And who are we to tell nature that she has made a mistake when we were never the ones that told nature how it's done? Do you realize that you being born a male is also by chance (accident/mistake)? Do you realize that there are more chromosomes that XX and XY? Who gets to choose which one is a mistake and which is correct? Nature doesn't make mistakes, it's simply diverse. There's no aspect of nature that doesn't have exceptions; not even day and night is binary. It is, therefore, unnatural to think gender and sexuality would be. What you call normal is just a game of numbers. The higher the number of occurances, the more normal it seems. I have nothing against some words used to describe the minority, but let's agree never use that word "mistake" when describing the nature of anyone. That said, the individual in question has a biological buildup that gives her an edge, I agree. However, that's the nature of sports. People use thier genes to thier advantage. We have men who have won medals because they had EPOR (a gene mutation that causes the creation of more red blood cells). Those female footballers that look like men have it in thier genes, but nobody cares mostly because it's not uncommon (agaon, game of numbers). This lady has the chromosomes XY, but that doesn't necessarily mean she's stronger than all the women that came for the competition. Her so-called advantage is not a guarantor of winning. Some of her competitors could be more muscular, taller and bigger. Should we send her home solely because this particular opponent could not deal with her? Highly debatable. Nonetheless, none of these things we have talked about directly negates the point I was trying to make in my comment. I said that you can't be against her participation in female activities and, at the same time, be against her transitioning to a man. You have to take a stance. Would you support her if she decides to transition into a male body to match her chromosomes or are you saying that's she not a woman and cannot be a man? |

Botragelad: With all you have mentioned, they are all still connected to genetics and sex genes inclusive, if you are insensitive to androgen or other male hormones, it will affect your sexual characteristics and therefore it's a defect or anomaly, and at diagnosis, such will be define as anomaly and your original gender will still be judged by the chromosomes you carry xy or xx. And therapy can be introduced, you don't make a scanty or insignificant proportion or disease a standard, those are very rare cases of people suffering one form of disease or the other, it doesn't take away your sexual identity when push comes to shove. There are acquired traits and hereditary traits ( traits through genetics)...So the only traits that is permanent and through which hereditary factors are passed from generation to generation is the gene! including sex genes for sex determination any other one is a counterfeit and temporary too e.g food may make you big for a while even if you don't have gene for bigness but when you don't have that privilege, you crumble (Acquired traits) but it has been programmed in elephant to be big for example food or not(hereditary/genetic traits/permanent traits) ...so the ultimate is genetics , it detemines permanently everything.. including sex of the baby. brain54 |

Botragelad: If you are reasonable, you will do your research, there is a benchmark, an average testosterone level in female anything alarming above this average level is a red flag, it has been done severally, it's called gender test with some other details of course. JuanDeDios |

erniok: Because the body that carried out the initial test are not the one in charge of the boxing ๐ฅ at Olympics currently, they had problems on their neck, so their files are suspended for now and any decision to see through the complexities will be after the Olympics, they can't make new law hurriedly when the tournament has already commenced.

iamjavadem: And what is transgender, if not normal female who are just feeling they should be in other gender they are not assigned at birth, intersex in other hand is even more devastating because you are actually carrying the biological factor of the male sex (in this case a female boxer) which is not acceptable and worse than transgender, transgender is just a small baby here to intersex.

yinkabeauty: Extremely Tall people should not be allowed to take part in races and play basketball it gives undue advantage. In the case of this lady I don't see the advantage. She's lost 9 fights won only 11 figths by Ko . The women that beat her do they have two heads or that had their own advantage? |
Re: Algerian Boxer Imane Khelif Is Not Trans. by GloriousGbola: 1:20am On Aug 03 |
yinkabeauty: Is the argument that the lady is intersex or that she is trans? being trans and born a man is the undeu advantage. if you actually had any brain cells to rub together you would realise that this issue of female athletes with xy chromsones has been thrashed out before Caster Semenya is an example also this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_intersex_Olympians the issue here , which has completely gone over the void where your brain should be is anti trans hysteria. the allegations flying around were that imane khelif is a biological man competing as a woman. now that it is clear that imane is a biological woman, all you noisemakers are scrambling and looking for something else to hide behind. the person who made those allegations has since apologized , as she should have done. 1 Like |

Here is some more info from a reddit thread....I'll post the relevant post here. Here is the link to the reddit post. The short(ish) version is that she's a cis woman who been competing for years against other women, and there was no issue, including at the 2020 Olympics. Never any question of her gender or testosterone levels, no articles, no headlines, no commentary from her opponents, nothing. She doesn't even have a particularly stellar record, though she's been improving in recent years. |

Botragelad: You can't gaslight anyone with this your school drop-out knowledge of biology. The mosaicism itself is preceded by mutation of the cells, so what are you saying! And to your shi.t about cause of sex determination, what on earth will determine sex of a baby, if not sex chromosomes? the nonsense you mentioned chromosomal variation, hormonal influences and all your unmentionable nonsense ...are they not products of sex chromosomes? And for your head, no change in somatic cells/chromosomes will determine the sex of a baby (except for asexual reproduction in plants e.g cassava and some pteridophytes, where you will cut the stem and replant to form a new plant and in some tape worms) but in mammals and even vertebrates, oh boy, sex chromosomes is the determinant of sex....and use your head i purposefully use sex and not gender because gender is used in social sphere to mean expression and how you identify but sex is biological, undeniable...and its the factor that determines sex of a baby. brain54 GreatVocalist 1 Like 1 Share |

GloriousGbola: Your ignorance and foolishness is amplified by your dead brain ๐ง cells and you are a progress in error towards darkness, outside the light. No sensible and enlightened person will attach transgender to sports because there is no place for such, only if you know what transgender means , which is mainly about how you feel or how you want to be identified...so a male will just wake up and in some few weeks to sports events and claims he identifies as female just so that he can claim all the glory and fortunes, who does that!? who is going to accept you just come into female sports and say you feel like a female...you can feel anyhow you want but you can't proceed without gender tests. For the enlightened ones this issue is not about sexual orientation or how you feel like identifying (transgender), those are allowed as long as you don't have a undue biological advantage over others a situation that is only associated with intersex people in their category/sports. The key target here has been INTERSEX, which is a situation in which one possess both male and female characteristics, in the case of female sports, the famale has male characteristics due to his genetic ๐งฌ , which is an anomaly and an undue advantage. So the authority will carry out gender tests to screen these athletes, infact the Algerian boxer in question failed and another Asian failed the test , but those who carried out the test on them are having problems of corruption , so they are not the ones handling the boxing ๐ฅ events in this Olympics, there will a be a review on the gender case after the Olympics, So to clarify your small head, lesbianism, transgender (mere feeling), and co are not issues as long as you are NOT INTERSEX, INTERSEX IS where the controversy lies because some women carry male biological factors, an anomaly which gives them undue advantage in sports. But what brings confusion is the MISUSE OF TERMS, rather than using the proper terms "intersex", "transgender" is what people shout about because of their ignorance, they don't know which is which. INTERSEX has always been the cause of controversy, Caster Semanya of South Africa ๐ฟ๐ฆ was also prevented as a result of her " intersex status" , I knew all this , iam a Sports guru with a first degree in Cell Biology and Genetics ๐งฌ, so all this nonsense link, you ignorant one is just sending , i have gone through them in the past. |
Re: Algerian Boxer Imane Khelif Is Not Trans. by GloriousGbola: 3:02am On Aug 03 |
yinkabeauty: Mr sports guru, what is the name of the thread? What is the name of the other thread on this matter? What has been the issue discussed in social media? Is this the first Olympics with an intersex athlete? You are so desperate to let everyone know that you allegedly have a masters in cell biology that you cannot see the forest for the trees. An educated nincompoop. In the past few years there has been hysteria about transsexuals. Even more so because today there are repeated cases of unsuccessful male athletes transitioning to women and competing in women's sports. No one has figured out how to handle this There was an attempt to paint this as a similar case. It is in black and white but your obsession with regaling us with your obscure cellular biology degree and your need for fifteen minutes in the limelight as a pontificatibg 'expert' has you wasting everyone's time. People with far more experience and knowledge than you have already decided that imane is eligible to compete. The sore loser has been called to order and has apologized. Instead of wasting everybodys time blowing your trumpet take your inane, long winded and ultimately irrelevant arguments to the Olympic Committee who have already used the wisdom and sense and experience which you so clearly lack and decided that imane was eligible to compete. Nonsense and noisemaking. The imane lady has been defeated numerous times before by biological women and so cannot be accused on having any unnatural advantage. It is just unfortunate she sparred with an opponent who was weak both mentally and physically and a disgrace to competitive sports. Not much difference between you and Angela Carini, all considered. weak minded unable to rise to the occasion and quick to start capping. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Lawag3: That's not an accurate analogy... extremely tall people are not suffering from genetic issues, that's a direct inheritance from their parents and are not taking factors meant for the opposite sex. If you have your natural attribute that is not an import of a genetic problem, so be it. In boxing ๐ฅ, there are feather weight, light weight, heavy weight. why don't they put them in the same category even though the to be competitors are of the same age and gender, if not for different attributes, a combat sports for that matter, and those ones are not even intersex ooo. It doesn't matter if she had lost some of her fights, and chooses the fight to win or lose, the matter is about fairness across board. A football โฝ team is not judged by where they are on the table, mid table which suggest they have lost some matches , then you avoid sanction due against them if there is need to just because they have lost some of their matches, so issue of perfomance enhancing drug wouldn't stand against such team!? I am not personal about this particular lady but there should be fairness across board, afterall Caster Semanya of South Africa ๐ฟ๐ฆ was prevented. |
