Or just the Olympic committee not doing their job.

It's the consequences of an ideology that traded objective biological reality for the moral capital acquired by being unconditionally tolerant.

Oh please

There no such thing as a constant biological reality in regard to this matter, animals on earth reproduce in numerous ways it’s not restricted to just male and females, some species even changes sex through their life cycle, some are hermaphroditic etc. There absolute no biological fact that state there is one way or that mankind will stay this way as we might simply evolve. We even see differences in chromosomes etc. biology doesn’t care one bit about what any one of us might think of sexes.

Also for most part it’s gender not sex, meaning social construction not biology.

Also if you don’t like it just turn off the telly problem solved, this is usually how I go about things I don’t want to be bothered with like the wars and US election

Also can we please just return to sport.

Let me start it was Nice seeing S. Biles return after that horrible last Olympics… She is pretty amazing on the floor, while I’m not usually into gymnastics I must say the generation of today have really lifted the bar.

It's a shame, really.

the fuck, I'm getting even more confused

can't there be a rule that if you have too much testosterone, you can't compete in the women category?

Khelif reportedly has a condition called Swyer Syndrome which means she has some female reproductive organs but also much higher levels of testosterone than women.

I don't see anywhere that Khelif is an trans woman or in any way born as a man.

Women produce different levels of testosterone, those who produce a higher level than average always had an edge this was also a debate in Tennis some years back. There nothing you can do about it, or should do about it, she has an XY chromosome but is still a woman, the wander of nature.

It’s like saying someone with a different ethnicity can’t participate in certain sports because they have a genetic advantage and those unfair to others… where would it end.

When it comes to Olympics genes play an important role in the final outcome, why you don’t see many successful 100-200 white runners, is it unfair… no it’s just how it is.

Also let’s talk about the results instead because there no real solutions to this just ask anyone who deal with this issue…

I was confused because it's Algeria. ITs like that seems insanely progressive from a Muslim country to allow a transgender fighter.

I mean I always felt the Williams sisters playing against women half their size was pretty unfair.

Also if the Algerian fighter isnt a trans or born with both. Then man that sucks people are giving her so much shit.

Like I am not anti trans and that has to be the most difficult type of life to deal with. I just dont think it's right to have men competing with women.

In boxing they have weight classes for a reason. Tyson would have killed Mayweather in their primes. Even if Mayweather had blocked most the hits.

Or in any type of race. I remember when I was in my soccer team and in state championships for Track. Literally the last guy would have lapped the women's best time. Think I had to run the mile in 4-5 minutes or they would make us run them again for soccer. The girls would run it in 6-7.

The argument that Ronda Rhousey would beat the shit out of any of us is weak. Sure a world champion vs a bunch of untrained dudes is a fair fight. I dated a girl who was in the junior olympics for taekwondo. I mean she took down my whole hockey team pretty fking quickly but we just stood there. 1 good swing and would have killed her.

So people misgendering a biological woman is okay, but people pointing that out isn't. This forum confuses me.

Logan Paul just issued an apology for misgendering her.

Canada - Spain basketball today. Pretty confident Canada can win. Then it just boils down to avoiding the US in the draw until the final.

I have heard zero about men's football, and to be honest I can't even be fucked to put it through Google.

Olympics are about everything but football. Nobody cares about football in Olympics. It doesn't help there are age restrictions in football Olympic squads.
