Steve Cram ended up tying himself in knots last year over that US 'non binary' runner.

This is the rabbit punch clip, slowed down a bit. Behind spoiler as I know not everyone wants to see it.

Articles like this are always written by a ‘gender and identity correspondent’

I presume BBC don’t have a womens correspondent?

Regulating elite sports, which typically rely on male-female binary categories in competition, is complicated because the biology of sex itself is complex and not exclusively binary.
I read the article this morning and I was angry at that ridiculous comment. It’s not complicated. It’s absolutely pure and simple and binary. Always has been. Always will be.

Oh the men will love wearing those skimpy beach volleyball outfits.
Don’t see any DSD or trans women in volleyball….. bet they’d change the uniform “requirements” and let the poor women wear longer bottoms like they’ve asked for previously!

Absolutely!

If Khelif had been on one of those teams the risk of a stray bollock making a break for freedom would have been too great.

This is total madness - XX/XY is not an accurate way to determine male/female therefore two male boxers are women - this is the IOC president today

This is the kind of stuff that really makes me depressed. This is what I’ve been faced with when I’ve dared say something in real life. What can you say to people who tell you this!? Sighhhhhhhhh

More from Mr Bach - 🤬

It’s those testicles of objectivity swinging around again isn’t it. It’s not a politically motivated culture war when it’s him taking a very clear side, is it? It could only be other people who have nefarious motivations.

Ready to listen, my a.

The further thought occurs. Thomas says that in order to challenge the “fact” that someone who has a female passport isn’t a woman, then we need to come up with a new scientific definition of what a woman is. But if it’s all so opaque and difficult, on what basis are the passports being issued and why does he have any confidence at all that they’re factually correct? “well, the science isn’t settled AT ALL, but the passport office are definitely the experts. All of them. From every country”.

Tripoed over your own fool, there, Thomas. Ironic.

BIB - Clearly, he has never read The Day of the Jackal - for younger readers the Jackal gets fake passports by finding children's graves and using their identities to get new passports.

Gold for Khelif. I didn’t watch it. I think this is the best outcome now to keep the discussion rumbling on. Even more so if Yu Ting also takes Gold.

Definition of a tarnished medal. We were assured that female boxers could beat Khelif and Khelif was not male…

Fantastic. Man wins women’s gold. Man will probably win women’s gold tomorrow. I know this should probably motivate me to want to do more and fight more but I just cannot be arsed. Men are the worst.

Hopefully the fact that this douchebag has won gold will peak a lot more people and make it more unlikely that this story will die quickly. Fingers crossed the gender tests of both those dudes will come out sooner than later. Not that some people will ever admit that they were wrong even if it does :(

Boooo! Disgusting but obviously expected. Wonder how many women will want to compete in the next Olympic boxing. Is there any bloody point?
