People need to stop the pussyfooting language games. If you were “born male” then you are male. You will live and die as a male.
I think this just makes the meaning clearer. If you say males shouldn't participate in women's sports, TRAs will screech that TW are not male
To make it the most clear I would simply say, if you have a Y chromosome you can’t compete with women. Full stop. The Y chromosome has all the stuff on it that differentiates men from women biologically, including the increased testosterone, lung capacity, bone structure etc. Men with 2 Xs are still men, as long as they also have a Y (see:klinefelters). Women with and X and a half are still women (see: Turner syndrome)
I am such a fangirl of Reem AlSalem. May all blessing flow to her for her work on behalf of women!
I wish they hadn't used the pic of Khelif, since he was most likely "observed female" at birth.
He was still born male
That's not the point I'm making.
I agree it was a…ahem…balsy pick
And in truth, he was never’trans’, which is what the article addresses
Tldr, it adds to the confusion
Reem Alsalem is the same UN expert behind the rapport "prostitution and violence against girls ans women"
What a queen in a very hostile anti-women environment
