Not my usual kind of source (Xitter), but I want any centrists out there who ask trans people to “just get along” / compromise with actual hate groups that want them eradicated to know that it doesn’t work.
There is no such thing as a reasonable bigot, by definition.
I think you’re kind of confusing trans people and people with DSDs. The Olympics stopped doing sex testing themselves in the 90’s. There have been a few biological males with DSDs that won women’s medals in the Olympics though. All 3 medals for the women’s 800m at the 2016 Rio Olympics were awarded to biological males, Caster Semenya, Francine Niyonsaba, and Margaret Wambui. Likewise, Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting are also biologically male (not trans as some people incorrectly claimed) and notably won gold in 2024. They were all wrongly assigned female at birth but have the physical advantages of male puberty.
Ana Caldas is a more specific example of why trans people that are biologically male have an insurmountable advantage in the women’s category.
This is a lie. Wikipedia links to no fewer than 3 sources that confirm this is a lie. I will be blocking you.
“Those cheering fans have embraced Khelif throughout her run in Paris even as she faced an extraordinary amount of scrutiny from world leaders, major celebrities and others who have questioned her eligibility or falsely claimed she was a man.” – https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/algerian-boxer-imane-khelif-fights-for-olympic-gold-after-enduring-abuse-fueled-by-misinformation
'The participation of Algeria’s Khelif and Taiwan’s Lin has proved controversial given they were disqualified from the 2023 World Championships.
“Let’s be very clear, we are talking about women’s boxing,” said Bach at Saturday’s daily IOC briefing.
"We have two boxers who are born as a woman, who have been raised as a woman, who have a passport as a woman and who have competed for many years as a woman.
“This is the clear definition of a woman. There was never any doubt about them being a woman.”’ – https://www.bbc.com/sport/olympics/articles/c28e88jdprno
'Khelif and a second boxer, Taiwan’s Lin Yu-ting, fell foul of IBA eligibility rules […].
[…] a March 2023 IBA board meeting stated that “the athletes do not meet one of the eligibility criteria”, without stating which one.’ – https://www.reuters.com/sports/olympics/who-is-algerian-boxer-imane-khelif-2024-08-03/
Right, they were incorrectly assigned female at birth and raised as women but are biologically male, because
I’m confused as to why you think those quotes support your point. The sex testing was done by an accredited lab, and is the eligibility criteria they do not meet.
