It’s time to tell all the whiny hiny countries to shut up!

This person failed a gender test and was not able to compete in the past. Does that sound normal? Also, regardless of this situation men shouldn't be allowed in women's sports. Especially contact sports. Someone is going to get killed.

I'm far from an expert in this field but it seems like the legitimate news sources are stating that Imane has Swyer syndrome. I honestly don't know where to draw the line with regards to gender in sports but hopefully someone with a much better understanding of endocrinology than me is the one informing these decisions from a biological standpoint.

The international boxing association (IBA) that did not allow Imane to compete is also a Russian-owned organization that was suspended from the 2020 and 2024 olympics due to a lack of financial transparency and corruption, so hardly a shining beacon of moral and ethical standards. USA Boxing also withdrew from the IBA and did not send any fighters to the 2023 world championships.

I don't have a dog in this fight but am dumbfounded by the amount of misinformation and outrage over it.

When you read all the articles concerning this story you can spot pretty quickly how they keep using wishy washy language to avoid saying whether the boxer(s) in questions was born as a biological male or female..
They say "she has identified as a woman all her life", "She has competed as a woman in several other boxing competitions", "She was raised as a woman from birth"....etc etc. They will never get near saying that she was unequivocally born with a penis or a vagina one way or the other. They keep everything vague and then decry anyone who questions what is going on. Come out with the facts and put all doubt to rest.

^ Agree. If she’s was born a woman with the “right stuff” down below, she’s a woman in my book- regardless of the XY chromosome.

So you would date her?

It's so funny to me how worked up certain Roksliders are about the Olympics.
Did you ever think about simply not giving a s*it?

I don't think it's healthy to not shit though.

I’m still fuming that Brazil had the audacity to take the gold from us in gymnastics

Is there lots of proof that you were born with a penis?

If someone has been a female their whole life, there's one reason.

The last several days numerous countries were complaining that US news agencies were posting medal counts by number of medals, not by just gold medals. Whine, whine, whine they did.

NOW shut the f up!

As someone who consumes a fair bit of international news...

The US is about the only country that was going by total medals, not golds.

I think we need to get our own house in order before we criticize other countries.

I swear I’ve heard of a doe with antlers being shot on a buck only tag over the years, seems like a similar situation.

If she started boxing under the ring pseudonym "bearded hen", I'll lose it and start a fan club.

Maybe they need some DEI for their medal counts

After they mocked Christianity I decided I wouldn't watch a minute this time.

Cheating Chinese swimmers destroyed the field in 4x100m. Aussie swimmer speaks out following team GB comments a day ago.

Exactly what I was thinking.

I saw three different instances of this working in Southeast Montana

Are you suggesting that when the internet tells you that you have to be upset about something, you can just ignore it? That’s crazy talk.
