    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

      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.

        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.

    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.

    There should be a campaign to purge the right from, well, everything.

      Really?! I have never seen a paywall there, and I usually access it using tor browser (so, coming from a variety of countries).

    Meh… who cares. Stop wasting your time watching the olympics. It’s a fkin circus to keep you mindlessly entertained while politicians are fkin you - figuratively.

    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.
