Woke people use opinions to decide genders for others. Woke people are full of opinions.
it's a woman tf is the ruling here
@@goopguy548its not, because it has XY chromosomes, which makes it a male.

This Olympics will be historical , it will be the Olympics that lost all credibility and will never be looked at the same again. Once was a great event now shameful and disgrace it will be remembered as !
So what about the last Olympic Games in Tokyo, where she also competed, and lost in the quarter finals to Amy Broadhurst from Ireland?
Khelif was assigned female at birth, she’s a woman, has been competing as a woman for all of her career in boxing, including the nine or ten times on her rooster where she LOST to OTHER WOMEN!

Some people are born with chromosome ambiguity. She is a biological female nonetheless.
@@catherinemontblanc1430tested with xy chromosomes, hence male. Sorry but she could have found another sport, in boxing it's unfair
@@olocin3477 source for this claim? All we've heard from the IOC is a testosterone test, which many women have increased testosterone levels
Screw the testosterone levels that doesn’t mean anything, a man shouldn’t be boxing women in the Olympics plain & simple. Blaming it on testosterone levels is like saying a great white shark and a gold fish are comparable because they’re both fish. The world is circling the drain.
SHE is a born female, not a trans woman. Looks don’t determine the sex of a person and just because she is more masculine does not mean she is a man and it is very discrediting to all the hard work she has put in to win this competition. It’s not her fault Italy backed out and started falsely accusing her after already being proven that she is a biological female.
Brutal, stupid and totally avoidable...stop this nonsense now!
Dam straight
It's not her fault.
The one who make this problem exist are usa.. And then spread to europe
They did stop, didn't even last a minute.
Why can’t women fight women?

Why?? Because she can't box.
This is sickening

"Khelif is a woman, who is not transgender, nor identifies as intersex, according to GLAAD and InterACT.
Khelif reportedly has differences of sexual development, known as DSDs, the organizations said in a Fact Sheet released Friday. Having DSD is not the same as being transgender.
Differences in sex development is a set of rare conditions involving genes, hormones and reproductive organs that can cause the sexual development of a person to be different than others, according to the NHS.
Sometimes, this can lead to a person having XY chromosomes but develop otherwise female."
@@sumohummel8656 yes i have recently found out she was born a female, but has man power.

@@glenshea1967 read the global news
Yesss French are weird with this whole forced gender ideology
and
Athletes from each country had their belongings stolen from their rooms.
There is a dangerous amount of incorrect misinformation being spoken here.
The runner Caster Semanya is 100% male, as is this boxer who just battered a female opponent.
Semnanya was born with a rare birth defect called DSD 46XY 5-ARD (5 alpha reductase deficiency - a condition that only males can have.
This condition causes malformed genitalia, that resemble a vagina at birth, but with male testes that remain inside the body, where they function normally and produce male levels of testosterone.
A male with malformed primary sex organs is not a female. That is why Semanya is banned. That is why this boxer must be banned.
It is not a grey area. It is not about 'gender.' It is about the safety and fairness to which all female athletes are entitled.
Then males can give birth?

Even Tyson Fury could not have handled her. Lol.
Female athletes must raise their voice. People from outside will not be able without a strong voice from within.
Who have thought that putting a man in the ring to beat up a woman would be such a problem 🤷♂️

If they simply stopped biological men fighting/competing in Women’s sport this would never be an issue🤦♂️
She is a female it's just that her testosterone is more than other females, but she was born as female
This is a direct conflict with the political concepts being pushed.
This is not the case here.
Khalif was never born a man.
She has DSD (Differences in sex developement).
It is a set of rare conditions involving genes, hormones and reproductive organs that can cause the sexual development of a person to be different than others, according to the NHS.
@@sumohummel8656 If that’s the case that’s fair game 🤷♂️
The rules are always slow to change. 50 years ago this wasn’t such an issue. They just need to stop using passports to determine gender and do a blood test that looks at chromosomes. It’s just more expensive to do blood tests.
Men have higher muscle mass and bone density, are these factors also considered?
I hope so, at that level? Should be. Even if of same body type a man is intrinsically stronger than a woman
Not for Olympic their sanctioning body IOC prioritised Inclusivity and openness over fairness as part of their policy.
Another way for saying Woke
@@prasanta5139 if it's woke then it's good. Women will just have to man up
Yes it is important and usually considered. In this case, however, she was not born male. She did not transition. She is a biological female, so this test is not necessary.
@@jfr1995 not exactly she’s still a male as medically she’s classed as DSD with XY chromosome. Most commonly known as misgendering a male as a female at birth.
In no way does imane look like a female, she was dressed as a female and had long hair because everyone believed she was a female.
Till she gets her full medical history holding xy means she’s a male and not a full female
This world isnt real anymore
Isn't real anymore 😢
Stupidly Olympic
totally ridiculous.
The Olympic has gone woke. Why are we surprised with their policies?
Its paris dude, they are always been like that.
For queerness, yes, but not for Olympic competition. This has been the worst Olympics ever. I shudder to think what the 2028 Games will bring with it being held in L.A., the epicenter of Wokeness.
This male boxer was banned last year because he failed the test. Why is he allowed to fight in the olympics? This is a shame on the French olypmics organisers consdering his masculin muscles, masculin body movements and masculin looks!
She competed in the last olympics too, because she's female not male.
Mark Adams is talking absolute nonsense here
When Israel is allowed to participate in the Olympics, it shows how messed up this world is.
why not just have their own group trans vs. trans
To be fair the Algerian person was intersex (not trans) however this situation is a disgrace.
No this shows that we should get back to normal. He is a man, no matter how he looks, and he should fight with men. That it. There are man and women, no trans and other made up things.
😂😂😂😂
TRANS WARS!
I love it. Someone call Eddie Hearn!
I'd watch it 😂
This should never have happened, this bout was doomed from the start, the IOC should be ashamed. They need to take a long hard look at themselves and reevaluate this gender mess. Let’s keep it simple, men are men and women are women, there is no in between.

I wonder what the ancient Greek founders of the concept of the Olympics would think? 🤔
@@ianhill4585
Originally all events were military training programmes.
@@siewheilou399 Yes I'm aware , which is why I'm baffled and perplexed by things like table tennis,or even tennis ,being Olympic sports, they are hardly martial, (other baffling 'sports' are available) 🙄 .
As far as I know the original Olympics were male only, so we've progressed to women's, but the boxer in red who won by default against the Italian boxer? What I wonder , would the ancients make of that?🤔
@@ianhill4585 not all sports are martial, and they dont have to be. its a sports competition, why gatekeep skilled athletes from showing their talent in the sport they shine in? there is nothing wrong with introducing new sports. keeping them only to the "martial" level is just incredibly dated
@@cris-qd4wf The Olympics as stated were martial in theme , how is ping pong battlefield relevant? I was pointing out the historical heritage.
However that was one of two comments I made, the second point was, along the theme of 'changes," male athletes, evolving into both male and female athletes, but male, female and " other"? That would blow the minds of the ancient founders, I would surmise.
what would the ancients think if they saw table tennis in the games? --- That was the point of my posting . It was more a "I wonder what" .
I love how something humans have always known. There is men and women is suddenly nuanced and complicated.
Exactly.
The value shifted from facts over feelings to feelings over facts. At least in the western world. Unfortunately, since a lot of other countries just follow whatever those western countries do including their culture (look at people in the east also becoming less religious, abandoning their own for western clothes etc.), this non-sense is also becoming supported in the rest of the world...
this rule in olympic boxing is a big bullshit.
My biggest question would be: why no one put up more info about this guy-looking woman of the facts of her being when she did have controversies from past events?
Guy just beat a woman in boxing match. Unheard before. Woke
Intersex woman had a fight with another woman
The hell is intersex?
@@mariannehavisham8323 XY is male
@@OG-es3hn
Hermaphrodite.
This is bullying at this point. If everyone did a quick Google search they will see that she's a female
Its not about bully, imane can compete both as a male and a female, but chooses female sport like many other as its easier than male sport.
Female with a XY male chromosome. XXY.
Imane body development was influenced by her male XY chromosome so she looks more like a a male as her development will be different than a XX female.
More testosterone, body mass/density and body structure. More muscle naturally than a female.
The second unethical and sick act of the IOC. Act 2 of the committee that need to resign from their offices.
Khelif didn’t break any rules. Sports are intrinsically unfair b/c some people are genetically superior to others with respect to specific sports. My understanding is that Khelif was born WITHOUT external male genitalia. there are a variety of men and women who naturally produce more testosterone than is normal. This can provide advantages in some sports. But that’s not the same as doping and not the same as somebody who is a clear biological male ‘identifying as’ a woman and competing. That’s not what’s going here with Khelif.
It's hardly just testosterone is it? It's bone density, bone structure, muscle mass, twitch fibres, ligament and tendon strength, hand size .... so many different factors that ALL add up to men being significantly stronger and faster than women.
And XY chromosomes
Watch the film Battle of the sexes. True story of a female tennis player beating a male tennis player in a match
@@mariannehavisham8323 I guess it's possible. But didn't Serena Williams, the greatest female player of ALL TIME and by far the most dominant of her era, tell the world that theres no way in hell she'd beat any man out of the top 250 in the world? I think she talked about the huge difference in speed and power, and the speed of the serve being impossible for a woman to return, etc.
Olympic is a joke now
WHAT A DISGRACE....
There is no controversy at all, the Italian girl just literally cannot box at all and took a dive
Disgusting....shouldn't have happened, shouldn't have been allowed. Shame on the Olympic committee.
I love it how this boxer posts on their web page how it doesn't want people to be bullies. But it's okay if they do it to a biological woman in a boxing ring
Check if it has balls.....
😂
😂😂
💀
For sure born with balls !!! But people still trying to argue that it is intersex !!!! If it has balls!!!! …. It’s a Boy!!! 😂geez people seriously!!!
OMG if the person was born a male, they HAVE to compete males. If the person is born female, they have to compete other females. IT’S NOT DIFFICULT.
The comments seem to think she's trans. She isn’t. She has hyperandrogenism. Lot's of people are born with genetic advantages, that's kinda the whole point of the olympics 😂
No the dude failed a gendertest.
Stop dreaming.
Imagine a boxer crying and quitting because the opponent punched her too hard 😂 pathetic!!!
That Italian boxer has set woman’s boxing back decades, it already wasn’t taking seriously ….well done to the Algerian boxer…Hope she wins gold
Not right. Not fair fight!
but that is politically correct.
Why?
@@yjchang4226 Form my experience politic never give any correct thing, practically & logically

They should have their own freak Olympic's! Stop beating up women who bave trained so hard for this.... TBH, its sick!
Anyone remember that movie parody "Scary Movie" where the lady vs Mike Tyson? This is exactly like it😂
They should have gotten another male trans to meet up at fair ending matching fainal.. then perhaps the system would over turn this stupid act..
Olympics, Paralympics then why not Translymipics! Competitive sport should include everybody but it needs to be fair! ❤️ 🏴🇸🇪🇹🇹
@EugeneMaynard nah just put them in with men.
Because khalif is neither trans nor disabled.
In a way, I'm glad this is happening because it will finally clarify the boundaries. In order to prevent transgender men from competing in women's sports, we'll have to acknowledge that men and women are biologically different and abandon the idea of absolute equality. This means reevaluating feminism's stance on this issue.
I cannot believe Seb Coe, a sporting legend, is defending this! It must be the huge amount of money he gets for his role. Enjoy spending your ill gotten gains . . .
Proof, although none were needed, that the world has gone absolutely bonkers
fkn absurd
Should charge him with assault on a woman. Destroyed this poor ladies life dreams. Disgusting and appalling
If there are separate men and womens competitions, then just make ones for trans ppl to compete against each other. Seems fair to me.
Yes, that would be the sensible solution - however, they want the world to accept them for who they say they are - & ramming it down our throats at every opportunity - guys prancing around as women & vice versa - utterly ridiculous!

What a sick perverse freak show
Why is the male fighter in the red corner acting like it means anything that he won? He should be embarrassed that a real female was able to fight that well against him. I don’t blame her for storming off I wouldn’t wanna have anything to do with the olympics after that either.
The organizer seem happy
One thing is having to accept people identifying themselves how they wish under DEI nonsense, but this takes the biscuit, literary a physically man punching a woman in the head and breaking her nose after 45 seconds, while the world watches on in disbelief…. Not only was the opening ceremony repulsive, but for the Olympic committee to leave this take place is even worse ……
feminists are awfully quiet about this.🤔
Did not they always say that women are as capable as men physically? Isn't that why they can't discriminate against women when applying physical jobs?????
Compete in the men’s. Identify as a woman in the MANs game and fight your cause for equality or whatever there, your cause will gain more respect. I would respect and want more inclusion if they compete in the men’s - average athletes trying to medal grab
He lacked the cojones
There's a reason Men and Women are in Seperate competitions in sports. How could this happen? My biggest fear is dying but by the time I get nearing to my end I'll probably be happy because of all this nonsense. 😢
This is not a clear cut issue. There are many women with XY Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome like Kim Novak, Jamie Lee Curtis & thousands more so this makes it extremely difficult to detangle. No one wants an unfair fight but it is complex.
Go away forever.
Bro transgenders should have they own boxing league
Its soooooo damn easy to solve this. Does the athlete have XY or XX chromosomes? We are earing all kind of vague bs but not a clear answer to that. Its amazing that they are circling around the issue like if it is not possible to know a person's biological sex. Its so damn easy in fact. Why mentioning hormon levels and passports when there is a more straightforward answer to the question?
But she was born a woman and has a uterus, the ability to have babies, etc. She is not trans, she is from Algeria where gender transitioning is not legal. Plus she's lost plenty to women boxers including at the last Olympics, her opponent today was not in the world's top forty. Almost nobody tests their chromosomes, but it'd be great if more people did because they might be surprised what results they get, and would have to realise how unusual and complicated biological sex actually is
What about XY chromosomes but gives birth?
They did . Came back XY. Which is why he was banned from competing last year.
But they will not point that out
