Author J.K. Rowling has fallen silent on her usually busy X (formerly Twitter) feed, after Olympic gold medalist boxer Imane Khelif filed a legal complaint in France for alleged cyber harassment over statements regarding her gender.
On August 9, lawyers for Khelif filed a lawsuit with a special unit of the public prosecutor’s office in Paris, stemming from false statements that spread online about her gender after the Algerian boxer defeated Italy’s Angela Carini in her first fight of the 2024 Olympic Games. Carini pulled out 46 seconds into the bout and told reporters afterwards that she had “never felt a punch like this.”
I haven’t seen any reporting confirming that she’s got XY chromosomes. But if you have an article, please correct me if I’m wrong. What I’ve been able to find is this:
Banned governing body that’s fueling outcry on Olympic boxers has Russian ties and troubled history
Summary-
The disqualification was done in a tournament run by an organization banned by the Olympics.
She participated in tournaments run by this organization with no issues for the last several years.
The organization hasn’t said why she was disqualified.
The man spouting the ‘trans woman’ claims is the leader of the organization. He’s a friend of Putin and described as a drug trafficker.
Her disqualification happened after she beat the previously undefeated Russian boxer Amineva 3 days post fight.
There’s more in the article, but these are the quick bullet points I came up with.
Troubled Russian ties and corruption in the Olympics.
Lie. They’ve said their tests found xy chromosomes.
But they haven’t said what test they performed to determine this, which would be the norm so the results can be verified.
What is your point? If it’s such the norm why hasn’t she released the results herself?
Why does she have to? Why would she have a copy of a test allegedly done by a 3rd party that, based on news reports, was just using it as an excuse to eliminate her for beating a Russian opponent?
Do you know she doesn’t have the test results? When I get medical tests done I usually do receive the test results.
There are news reports saying she’s a man if you care so much about news reports.
It’s funny how it works both ways. She doesn’t have to release the results. And they don’t have to release them so you can verify it either. Playing your own stupid game. Why do they have to release the results?
You seem to be misunderstanding, intentionally I would guess. They claimed they did a test to “confirm” she was not a woman, I’m saying that’s a steaming hot load of bullshit and they were just looking for an excuse and they have no results to release.
Please cite your sources saying there are news reports that she’s a man.
Here you go.
Are you sure I’m the one intentionally misunderstanding things?
First of all, and you knew I was gonna lead with this, The Daily Mail?
Ok, let’s pretend that’s a legit news organization, now read my comment quoting Snopes and tell me if that answers any of your “questions”.
