Don't believe your lying eyes

Remember that time the Olympics allowed a man to compete in women's boxing and the world twisted themselves into knots to defend it?

Sometimes telling the truth is hard, but this isn’t one of those situations. In this situation, the truth is the very easiest thing to see, speak, and understand:

Imane Khelif is male. Hope that helps.

Today, August 3rd, a male boxer secured an Olympic medal in the women’s category.

This comes two days after Italian boxer, Angela Carini, forfeited her fight to Algeria’s Imane Khelif after 46 seconds, allowing him to go on to fight Hungary's Anna Luca Hámori, beating her 5-0.

We watched Carini break down and cry at the unfairness of it all, and the world watched as female sports became a South Park sketch.

While International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Thomas Bach insisted there was "never any doubt" that Khelif is “a woman” (he has a female passport, after all), there has always been doubt. Because Khelif is male. We knows this based on sex testing, but we also know this because we have eyes that can see.

On July 27, Reduxx reported that two “female boxers” set to compete at Paris 2024 had been disqualified from the Women’s World Boxing Championships in 2023 for having “XY chromosomes.” In other words, Imane Khelif of Algeria and Lin Yu-Ting of Taiwan had been discovered to be male, yet were attempting to compete as women. IBA president Umar Kremlev said that IBA executives had met to discuss “fairness among athletes and professionalism,” after concerns were raised about the biological sex of some participants, adding that after “a series of DNA-tests,” the IBA “uncovered athletes who were trying to fool their colleagues and pretend to be women.”
