In light of plans to introduce this policy and the particular circumstances surrounding some boxers that competed at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, World Boxing has written to the Algerian Boxing Federation to inform it that Imane Khelif will not be allowed to participate in the female category at the Eindhoven Box Cup or any World Boxing event until Imane Khelif undergoes sex testing.

Athletes that are deemed to be male at birth, as evidenced by the presence of Y chromosome genetic material (the SRY gene) or with a difference of sexual development (DSD) where male androgenization occurs, will be eligible to compete in the male category.

Athletes that are deemed to be female at birth, as evidenced by the presence of XX chromosomes or the absence of Y chromosome genetic material (the SRY gene) or with a DSD where male androgenization does not occur, will be eligible to compete in the female category.

Oh wow. What's social construction? *points*

I've been trying to make "You're a regular Imane Khelif!" happen (e.g. you're a superwoman). Or "That hits like Imane Khelif". Don't let shitheads write her narrative, you care more than they do, so drop it if you get a chance.

"None of these guys can fuck, it's over for this sport."

I'm not sure how the WBO is still recognized as a legitimate operation. They're horribly corrupt already and this is just another opportunity to fix fights rather than any commentary on current politics.

If you pay someone to pass the sex test does that count as doping?

To an extent, I am okay with this. All it would take is one male beating the ever living shit out of a female for people to raise hell. I don’t see this as the males being afraid of the females, as much as boxing be afraid of the double standard consequences.

Woah dude you're in danger of sounding like a bigot

I care if a male fights a female about as much as I care if I get called a bigot or not. I don’t. I’m not a sensitive cuck like Trump or MAGA in general. I’m just sick of the fucking double standards for this shit. Not by the leagues, conference, division, whatever governing body. But by the masses. The US has already proven that that about 50% of the population are total morons. The masses are the ones that can’t handle male vs female in sports. If a female can fight males, go for it. Let’s do it and find the best. I just don’t want to hear shit when a male beats a female, or when a female beat a male…other than congrats and GG.

So much more fun if you believe it to be a test of skill instead of the depressing reality.

It’s funny how the west will punish us for not accepting LGBTQ+ but will turn around and saying that an ALGERIAN contestant is using LGBTQ+ propaganda to progress. As if the algerian population are accepting of LGBTQ… people of algeria has marched the streets in support of Imane Khelif during the olympics. I don’t think algerian people would proudly march for someone who is openly LGBTQ

Idk maybe european women are weak 🥀
