Probably not the best place to begin your manoeuvres. Weren't they the clowns who left Fraser Nelson speechless when they said Rishi Sunak could never be English?

I don't know about the other dude, but Kisin is inching his way to Magahood every day. He reversed ferreted when they didn't like his initial take on the Zelensky White House clash and laughably tried to act as though he didn't, now he is in the tricky position of supporting Ukraine (family connections among other reasons) but a lot of his new audience despising them.

My understanding was that he thought Zelensky was wrong over the Oval Office incident. At the same time he's corrected a lot of the lies about the war. Disappointing if he sells out for the $$$.

It's not dollars.

It's that people respond to stimuli.

If you have thousands of followers, and they yell at you being wrong, then you will try and correct your behaviour to maintain your standing with your followers.

That feedback loop - which social media encourages and amplifies - is why people find themselves going down crazy rabbit holes.

Take JK Rowling. She had some perfectly sensible, considered remarks about trans people back in 2020. But that attracted a lot of followers who were virulently anti-trans, and so she found that comments and tweets she made that were anti-trans got lots of likes. And those which had nuance, did not. She did more of the things that got likes.

And she ended up in a situation where she's yelling at a poor Algerian boxer who is definitely not trans.

'And she ended up in a situation where she's yelling at a poor Algerian boxer who is definitely not trans'

FFS. That boxer is a man, fighting women, stealing their medals and money, knowingly covered by other men and apparently cheered on by another group of men on here.

There is nothing 'poor' about a vile cheat.

That woman has female genitalia, and was brought up as a woman.

Now, she may have internal testes, that were discovered later, but that doesn't make her a "vile cheat" because how the fuck was she supposed to know?

How the fuck do you know he has female genitalia and not underdeveloped male genitalia? He's a man. He underwent a test - it came back male. He wears male protection. He's a man. He's a vile cheat, surrounded by vile cheats who know exactly what they are doing. The fact you think he has testes, found out beforehand and should still be fighting as a woman is telling. He could have been brought up as a cat, it makes no difference, he's a cheat. I think it's vile that people cheer him on and still make excuses.

Because at the time they were born, the people who looked at said person saw a vagina and nothing else.

Which bathrooms do you think this person with external female genitals should use?

At no point in their life, did this person ever think they were a man.

Personally, I feel really sorry for her. I don't think she should be competing in female boxing, for which she should have our pity.

They didn't see a vagina, they made a mistake. There are no external female genitals for anyone to see.

Now because one person made a mistake, why should that mistake be compounded upon others many times over.

That person should not be in a ring hitting other women. They did know beforehand they were male, as did all of their coaches and federations. Yet they still let this man go in a ring, hitting women. And you feel sorry for him. Sympathy left the building the moment they starting fighting.

Could you please let me know what evidence you are using that she has visible external male genitalia, because I've searched the internet and can find none.

I can find the evidence of various tests that came back saying he is male.

Well, her birth certificate might be a bit of a giveaway. Also her passport. Also everyone she went to school with who shared a changing room with her. Also, her family.

Unless you're going to claim that they had this secret plan to tell a boy they were actually a girl in order to win an Olympic Medal, and that *everyone* was going to go along with this.

So, you go find me some evidence that she has external male genitalia. Because the burden of proof is rather on you, given that her assigned sex at birth was female.

(And for what it's worth, it's not even like the "various tests that came back saying he is male" are even that conclusive given "the International Olympic Committee (IOC) later criticized the IBA's decision as "sudden and arbitrary," affirming that Khelif met all eligibility criteria for female competitors.")

The lengths that some blokes go to try and support men cheating in women's sport and the cheerleaders they attract on places like this will never cease to astound me. Vile.

The attempts to discredit the three approved laboratories who conducted the tests (not the IBA) are appalling. These are CAS approved laboratories that you are dismissing.

The IOC were (they won't be) basing their entire arbitrary decision on his passport. That was allocated based on someone looking at him when he was born, once given it is unchangeable in Algeria. You think his family his going to come forward with this, you think they were sharing changing rooms at the school. Deluded.

Yes his coaches and his federation all understand exactly what he is.

You deny the science and are basing your entire argument on a bit of paper written when he was born. You have no other evidence.

This is completely daft. @rcs1000 specifically said she shouldn't be competing in female boxing. He also did not dismiss the tests. You just made all of that up. However you immediately jump to the conclusion she had visable male genitalia based on no evidence whatsoever. Plenty of athletes fail these tests and I can guarantee none whatsoever have visible male genitalia for the simple reason that there would not need to be a test in the first place if they did. It would be obvious

These people are born as visibly girls, are bought up as girls. Unfortunately life isn't as simple as Trump would have it and medically some girls and boys have chromosome issues. Those girls will have an unfair advantage over other girls in physical sports and therefore should not be allowed to compete in female sports, but the idea that it isn't that and she really has a cock and balls is not likely yet you state it as fact based upon absolutely nothing.

Jesus.

If someone's job was occasionally returning the right JSON-formatted list - then they are truly in danger.

That's why smart government departments use custom formats for storing data, such as RASVs.

That's Recording Artist Separated Values, so the delimeter isn't a tab or a comma or a space, but instead the name of a band or solo artist.

There seem to be some tricky edge cases on sex, which normally don't matter at all because it's assumed men and women compete equally. But not boxing, which raises as many questions about the female version of the sport as it does about the participants.

Regardless of whether Khelif should be allowed or disallowed on a technicality, which to be clear is what we're talking about here, she was shabbily treated as she was allowed to take part, did so in good faith, only to have her motives trashed after winning the event.

There are quite a lot of external genitalia on the Internet. Have you checked them all?

Indeed: I find the attitudes of @malcolmg and @CharlieShark to be pretty disgusting. Whether she should be allowed to compete or not, there is exactly zero evidence that at any point she behaved with anything other than good faith.

I'm not sure that explains her position. The reality is that anyone who put their head above the parapet on that issue got a massive amount of abuse for it. I suspect that is more likely to have changed her. She hardly needs the fame or popularity.

'Poor Algerian boxer' who shouldn't be competing in the female category. That's the fault of the boxing authorities though. I'm sure JK may have overstepped the mark on occasion but compared to the vitriolic abuse she got? No contest.
