Kelif has male chromosomes.
Testosterone levels can be artificially fiddled with, chromosomes can’t.
Obviously a rule set that doesn’t take chromosomes, the single most determinative factor, into account.
So it turns out that Khelif might not even have high testosterone levels. That claim and the XY chromosome claim were made by the discredited and disgraced head of the IBA, a Russian stooge who DQed Khalifa after she defeated a Russian fighter, and has called the head of the IOC a “sodomite”. The IOC has decertified the IBA after a string of corruption scandals.

Firstly well done to the Italian boxer lady for bringing worldwide attention to the male in women’s sports issue.
I note The Australian and Courier Mail not allowing comments under their articles on this. A clear sign too sensitive and not willing to allow readers a say.
It seems the IOC criteria for being able participate in Olympic women’s boxing is having a passport that says your are female.
Qld recently decided to allow people to identify how they like and even have a new birth certificate issued. No doubt same applies to their passports. So I guess that means eligible to participate in women’s boxing. Oh wait, Brisbane holding Olympics in 8 years. Could be interesting.
This has all come about due to a small vocal minority and pathetically weak and gutless politicians who gave into wokeness.
What a mess.
I think we are seeing a strong case for banning womens boxing itself.

It’s dead simple to clear up the question of Kelif’s sex.
Release the test results.
Privacy concerns? Test results have been released to prove qualifications on many occasions (dopers/sex determination) in the past. He should have worried about that before he walked onto the international stage claiming he was something he quite obviously is not.
But the Olympic Committee hasn’t/won’t release the results.
Why? How about because they will show Y chromosomes?

After the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, I paraphrased an Obama comment and attributed it to Muntsac. I wrote, “if I had a son, he would look like Thomas Crooks”.
Lo and behold, the Gimp bit, he ordered me to never mention his son as, apparently he has one. Poor little boy.
Upthread, Lizzie had mildly chided Muntsac about the treatment of women and girls and stated she hoped, if he had a girl child, that he would treat her better than they way women and girls have been treated collectively in the media, and politically. Treatment which the Gimp whole heartedly subscribes to, I will add.
Now we know the Gimp has two children. Has stated one is male, so one would naturally assume the other is female. He did not answer Lizzie’s plea for understanding and better treatment of the female sex. Not a peep.
This leads one down the path of realising what most of us here have long suspected/believed, the Gimp really does despise female humans. Even his own.
Genetic differences in this case meaning being equipped with XY chromosomes and a penis.

Indeed. The specific idea called ‘reality’.
Lack of a Y chromosome physically defines a woman more accurately than any other metric.
Certainly more than metrics which can be fiddled with via chemistry.
There are rare cases of an xxy chromosome. I remember reading of a Spanish athlete who had this and had been disqualified from races post facto. They had to restore her record when she gave birth

Michael Phelps is literally referred to as a freak of nature because of his disproportionate wingspan, double jointed ankles, lung capacity twice that of an average human, body that produces half the lactic acid of a typical athlete, and he is rightly celebrated for being the greatest male swimmer in history.”
None of which changes the fact that an XY has higher bone density, more muscle mass, more fast-twitch muscle fibre, a higher centre of gravity and higher grip stregth than an XX, to name a few.
These are not just “edge cases” – in statistical terms, the highest grip strength of an XX is about the average grip strength of an XY, for example.
XX an XY have different bodies – one is better at some things, the other is better at others. I am NOT saying one is superior to the other, except in certain specific areas where they have a clear physical advantage. For instance, an XY can jump higher than an XX can because of the physical higher centre of gravity. Of course, the XY is more stable because of the lower centre of gravity.
I find it interesting that at least in terms of sporting competitions, it is the XY imitating the XX that wins more often than not, while the XX that imitates the XY rarely does so. That tells you a lot right there.
I am happy to call you by your preferred pronouns if you ask nicely, but am unlikely to if you should be so crass as to think you can “demand” it. And just because you decide to wear a dress, have surgery and take drugs to change your appearance, it doesn’t mean you are “fairly” competing again those you are trying to imitate.
Trump must surely be among the most vilified of contemporary political figures. James Allan has written a fair defence of him in this week’s Australian Spectator. Whatever one thinks of Trump, one should ponder the remark of Albert Einstein:
“ Those who have the privilege to know, have the duty to act”.
I think many of us may perceive the significance of current events, but rarely put those evaluations on the line. Trump has done this in spades.

Endurance, originally named Polaris, was built in 1912 in Norway for Arctic tourist cruises.
It was a wooden three-masted barquentine with a coal-fired steam engine of 350 horsepower, capable of speeds up to 10.2 knots.
The ship was 144 feet long and 25 feet wide, with a tonnage of 300 tons.
The foremast was square-rigged while the mainmast and mizzenmast were fore-and-aft rigged.
Endurance was one of the strongest wooden ships ever built, designed to withstand the harsh conditions of polar regions.
Ernest Shackleton purchased the ship in 1914 for his Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition and renamed it Endurance after his family motto, “By endurance we conquer.” The ship set sail for Antarctica from Plymouth in August 1914.
Endurance became trapped in the Weddell Sea by dense pack ice in January 1915. The ship was beset by ice and drifted for months before the pressure of the ice began to crush it. In October 1915, the crew abandoned the ship, and by November, Endurance had sunk, leaving the crew stranded on the ice.
Shackleton and his men camped on the ice and later made an incredible journey in lifeboats to reach Elephant Island. Shackleton and a small party then sailed over 800 miles in a lifeboat to South Georgia to seek rescue. All members of the expedition were eventually rescued without loss of life.
The story of Endurance is one of the most remarkable tales of survival and endurance in the history of exploration.
Reynolds’ courtroom showdown with Higgins kicks offPaul Garvey
The courtroom showdown between Senator Linda Reynolds and her former staffer Brittany Higgins is finally here, despite the exhortations of multiple Supreme Court justices who repeatedly urged the pair to resolve their issues without a trial.
Courtroom 42 of the David Malcolm Justice Centre in the Perth CBD will be the latest venue for a legal examination stemming from Bruce Lehrmann’s rape of Ms Higgins on a couch in Senator Reynolds’ Parliament House office.
While the previous courtroom battles – the criminal prosecution of Mr Lehrmann, which ended in a mistrial after juror misconduct, and the defamation action by Mr Lehrmann against Network 10, in which Federal Court Justice Michael Lee found that on the balance of probabilities Mr Lehrmann did rape Ms Higgins – have focused on whether the rape actually occurred, this trial will focus on the fallout.
In particular, Senator Reynolds is arguing that her former staffer and her now-husband David Shiraz defamed her in a series of social media posts made in the months and years after Ms Higgins’ rape.
Senator Reynolds’ statement of claim argues that the posts were published as part of a plan by Ms Higgins and Mr Sharaz to use the allegations that Senator Reynolds had been involved in a political cover-up as a weapon to inflict immediate political damage on her.
Anthony Albanese’s closest confidantes, Katy Gallagher and Penny Wong, were drip-fed false information by Ms Higgins and Mr Sharaz as part of a larger plan to destroy Senator Reynolds’ career and take down the Morrison government, the senator alleged.
Mr Sharaz also organised meetings between Ms Higgins and Labor MPs to discuss her rape allegations, the documents say, including then opposition leader Mr Albanese and Tanya Plibersek, as well as former Liberal prime minister Malcolm Turnbull and former Labor prime minister Kevin Rudd.
Ms Higgins in her filed defence “denies the allegations”, and claims in her amended defence that the senator “mishandled the aftermath of the incident” and failed to support her.
Senator Reynolds is also suing Mr Sharaz for defamation, although he has said he will not contest the matter due to a lack of resources.
Mr Lehrmann has always maintained his innocence and is appealing Justice Lee’s decision.
The start of today’s defamation trial comes despite repeated urgings for the parties to avoid having the case go to trial.
Justice Marcus Solomon, who was first assigned to the matter, had repeatedly warned Senator Reynolds, Ms Higgins and Mr Sharaz about the human and financial cost of taking the case to trial and personally led a lengthy and ultimately unsuccessful mediation session between the parties earlier this year.
And WA Chief Justice Peter Quinlan last month again called for the parties to avoid going for trial as he handed down a decision ordering Ms Higgins to hand over to Senator Reynolds’ legal team details about the trust set up to administer the $2.4 million settlement she secured from the Commonwealth.

Our rulers have two choices – double down, or accede to the majority wishes.

To be honest women in sport got everything they deserve by putting up with cocks in frocks from day one. I surmise they thought some uncoordinated effeminate nancyboi that they could coo over was going to make a fool themselves coz we’re all really so good though we can’t beat 15yo males at anything. Instead not good enough males charged through. Don’t expect others to stand up for you if you won’t stand up for yourself. Just about every governing body of sport is made up of never any goods, nothing to do with the sport or wannabes. Sport in general would be far better off without them. Especially now as it is another big business with salaries and perks to go with it.
Should we have special chairs for the Olympics where some drag-queen can declare of candidates “Duas habet et been pendentes”?
That’s the American system, Fatboy. It was expressly created with the intention of not having the president elected by popular vote.The original intention of the framers was to create a republic, not a democracy. If you don’t like it, then don’t live there. That’s right, you don’t.
“I think many of us may perceive the significance of current events, but rarely put those evaluations on the line. Trump has done this in spades.”
Indeed. Despite the attempted assassination and the USSS telling him to no longer do outdoor rallies, he has defied them and said he will continue with the outdoor rallies he and his supporters adore. Coming on the heels of refusing to cower in fear minutes after a bullet took a chunk out of his ear, and instead standing fist raised shouting “Fight, fight, fight!”, this shows the mettle of the man. That he lost money both running for and being President, and that he is fighting every single fake “crime” he has been accused of, also says plenty.
He could have simply retired to play golf at Mar-a-Lago, but instead stood up to be counted – and continued standing up for what he believed in through the smears, the impeachments, the lies, and the attempt on his life. This is clearly a man who loves his country and wants to save it. Say what you will of his personality and politics, and even say he is wrong about everything, but his patriotism and courage is not in doubt.
Anyone care to imagine the legal dogfight that would ensure, if a biological woman was injured, or killed, at the hands of someone like Khelif?
Someone mentioned ships earlier. In my opinion, the old sailing ships are the most beautiful things humans have ever created/built. Just magnificent
That’s nothing, whoever wrote that oughta see their respective Senate vote power.
If we could only clone Trump’s spine the world would be a much better place.
Bennett and Reynolds haven’t briefed counsel. This should be good.
“Wyoming’s voters enjoy three times the electoral college vote power of Californians, Zatara, If you don’t understand that, that is your fault not mine.”
Wyoming has 3 electoral college votes. 3.
Cali has 54.
That means Wyoming has 1 house rep, while Cali has 52.
So California voters enjoy 52 times more house vote power than those in Wyoming.
If you don’t understand that, that is your fault not mine.
There’s an article in the Oz claiming Khelif was born female.
I call bullshyte on this.
Just as a possibly unrelated aside, confirming birth anomalies, there was a story in the press yesterday about a lass born with two vaginas and the related plumbing for each.
She used one for business and one for personal use.

Higgins’ settlement based on ‘bare-faced falsity’Paul Garvey
The Commonwealth’s swift $2.475m settlement with Brittany Higgins was based on a “bare-faced falsity,” Senator Linda Reynolds’ lawyer says.
Martin Bennett, opening Senator Reynolds’ defamation case against her former staffer, said the outcome of the confidential mediation between Ms Higgins and the Commonwealth – which was leaked to the media “before the ink was dry” – would have caused the public to believe Ms Higgins’ claims that the senator had harassed her in the wake of her alleged rape.
“Any person in Australia reading this would automatically think the allegations made by Ms Higgins were so true, so damning, so correct in their allegations against Senator Reynolds, that the Commonwealth paid $2.5m on a single instance of mediation,” Mr Bennett said.
“The claims made by Ms Higgins were false, and Senator Reynolds was denied the appropriate venue, the appropriate time, the appropriate funding by the Commonwealth to defend the actions of herself and her staff.”
You know what, I have zero sympathy for the Italian gal. She’s no novice and a twice-world champion, so she knew what she was getting herself into. And then the bawling, because it didn’t work out. She should never have gotten into the ring with a bloke, because she’s fully aware it would be a hiding to nothing.
I have a hunch, Hiden and Kamal Toe did everything they could to get the WSJ reporter out of Russian prison because they feared Trump would trump them before or after the election and make them look bad. I wonder what they gave up?

Higgins’ texts ‘contradict’ claims when securing payoutPaul Garvey
Text messages sent by Brittany Higgins to her then-boyfriend contradicted the claim made by the political staffer when she secured a $2.475m payout from the Commonwealth, Senator Linda Reynolds’ lawyer has said.
Martin Bennett has been reading out messages sent by Ms Higgins to her then-boyfriend Ben Dillaway when she was in Perth working on Senator Reynolds’ re-election campaign, in which Higgins describes having a “fun” and “cool” time in the city.
The messages describe how she spent her time door knocking and attending campaign events, community forums and dinners during her weeks in the WA capital.
“Been out and about doing ground level campaigning. It’s been pretty fun actually,” she wrote in one of several messages to Mr Dillaway read out in court by Mr Bennett.
“My day has been awesome, mostly spent poolside,” read another.
The details contrast, he says, with what Ms Higgins told the Commonwealth when they negotiated her settlement. Mr Bennett said Ms Higgins told the Commonwealth that she had been “working alone in a hotel room for seven days a week, for six weeks” during her time in Perth.
Points to ponder.

Two things stand out like dogs balls in the XY Chromosome Imbroglio:
Firstly, the general argument that Khelif does not benefit unfairly from XY-power, but is a plucky 100% free range female, being monstered by unhinged heteronormatives (or something), turns on the IBA being discredited as notoriously corrupt by the notoriously corrupt IOC.
The IBA may well be thoroughly corrupt. But, interestingly, Khelif’s 2023 IBA expulsion on chromosomic grounds has not found its way to the Court for Arbitration in Sport.
Thus, we segue effortlessly, with pike and evidence-free double somersault, from any prospect of reasoned discussion on fair play in sport to the woke agendas.
Secondly, Jessica Fox seems to be XX positive and doesn’t appear to be either a transsexual or a Drag Queen.
All very well from a DEI perspective I suppose, but it’s not immediately clear what sort of role model she’s supposed to be…
The case relates to events in 2001. This alone makes it a nightmare on terms of evidence and prosecution. I have no idea what the actual evidence might be but any admission in a trial by the scumbag would have to be doubtful as no doubt would have been obtained by coercion. No problem for gaining intelligence but not much help if trying to use confession on basis it was voluntary.
Taking the life sentence plea deal avoids a very messy trial.
“plea deal with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, and two other terrorists, sparking widespread criticism and outrage”
“Khelif might not even have high testosterone levels. That claim and the XY chromosome claim were made by the discredited and disgraced head of the IBA”.
As usual Monty on team try hard.
In simple terms the money is on Khelif having a condition that although he is male his body failed to produce male genitalia and gives him softer skin, he went through normal male puberty and has the testerone of a male.
Why would the Russians go after him?

https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2024/07/31/snapchat-refuses-to-reinstate-donald-trumps-account-shamelessly-asks-campaign-to-buy-advertising/
In the email to Trump’s campaign, Snapchat said, “I hope you had a nice weekend. I spoke with our Policy team and to provide a bit more context, they made the difficult decision to terminate President Trump’s Public Profile in 2021 after multiple policy violations.”“Unfortunately, our Terms of Service do not allow for reinstatement or for terminated users to create new accounts,”
Snapchat continued. “Reinstating the profile would involve reassessing and implementing entirely new Terms of Service, and we are unable to give preferential treatment to any creator on the platform.”
The social media platform went on to ask the Trump campaign for money via advertisement on Snapchat.
“I genuinely believe that Snapchatters are a key audience that can be persuaded to turn out for Trump — we reach over 96M users 18+, allow for the upload of first party lists, and have highly competitive CMPs ranging from $3-$6,” Snapchat said.
“I would love to explore alternative paths forward for our partnership, even given the current state of the profile,” the social media platform added. “If the team is skeptical about launching paid media without an organic presence, we highly recommend using the RNC’s profile or creating a new Vance profile.”
“Eager to hear your thoughts. Thank you for your understanding and visibility,” Snapchat concluded in its email

Linda Reynolds’ lawyer has described the moment the senator described her former staffer Brittany Higgins as a “lying cow” as an unfortunate but defensible incident.
Barrister Martin Bennett told the WA Supreme Court was horrified at the falsity of what was being said about her when Ms Higgins appeared on The Project to detail her alleged rape inside Parliament House and her belief that Senator Reynolds had engaged in a political cover-up of the incident.
Mr Bennett has spent the afternoon detailing what he referred to as “bare-faced lies”, “nonsense” and “fabricated fictions” put forth by Ms Higgins when describing Senator Reynolds’ handling of her rape allegation.
The Australian revealed soon after The Project aired that Senator Reynolds had described Ms Higgins as a “lying cow” when watching the interview. Ms Higgins threatened defamation against the senator, who settled the matter through a $10,000 donation to a Canberra rape crisis centre.
Mr Bennett said Senator Reynolds’ use of the word “lying” to describe Ms Higgins was appropriate, while the word “cow” was unfortunate but reflected the senator’s “intense anger” about the claims being made about her by her former staffer.
“When you’re watching someone lie about you, ‘lying cow” is an entirely defensible thing to do,” Mr Bennett said.
He said the senator had swiftly settled the defamation claim and apologised as she did not want to interfere with the police investigation and potential prosecution.
“The reason she did that is because people might have interpreted her comment as casting doubt on the veracity of the rape allegation,” Mr Bennett said.
“Senator Reynolds apologised and entered into a non-disparagement clause that Ms Higgins forgot about immediately.”
So only about 90% then.
😀
Just unfair on cows to compare them to Higgins. Cows are wonderful, lovely creatures.
One only has a certain amount of opportunities to deliver elite-level Dad jokes:
‘Knock knock.’
‘Who’s there?’
‘Interrupting cow.’
‘Interrupting cow w – ‘
‘MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!’
That “woman” is more masculine than you’ll ever be.
You just going to sit back and take this, cohenite?

Senator Linda Reynolds will spend all next week giving evidence in her defamation battle against Brittany Higgins, with former prime minister Scott Morrison set to follow her on the stand.
Senator Reynolds’ lawyer Martin Bennett late on Friday confirmed that the senator’s evidence would be followed by that of her husband Robert Reid, with Mr Morrison, Senator Reynolds’ parents and brother, former Liberal candidate David Goode and former Liberal MP Steve Irons all to follow the following week.
Senator Reynolds’ former chief of staff Fiona Brown is also expected to be called, as is news.com.au journalist Samantha Maiden.
Ms Higgins will then have up to four days on the stand towards the end of August.
Ms Higgins has so far not been in court for the proceedings. She married David Sharaz earlier this year and has since revealed that she is pregnant.
Court has concluded for the day.
This should be funnier then the circus.
If we actually had a government that was doing things for the benefit of the people they would print hundreds of billions of dollars (backed by nothing) and buy bitcoin.
I await the stupid responses

‘Way too many’

Unpossible.
Also ‘cis’.
A fuming JK Rowling last night slammed an Olympic boxing match as ‘a man beating a women in public for entertainment’ after a female boxer once disqualified for failing a gender test forced out an Italian opponent.
A global backlash, led by Italy’s prime minister and the Harry Potter author, ensued after Angela Carini quit to ‘save my life’ just 46 seconds into her bout against Algerian opponent Imane Khelif, claiming she had been hit so hard that she ‘couldn’t breathe’.
Rowling called Khelif a ‘bullying cheat’ and hit out at Olympic bosses who she branded ‘disgraceful’ for allowing the bout to go ahead.

Officeworks staffer had anti-Jewish recordLiam Mendes

The Officeworks staff member who refused service to a Jewish man because she was “pro-Palestinian” was involved in an anti-Semitic incident just weeks before – and was scheduled to visit the Melbourne Holocaust Museum as a disciplinary measure the next day.
It is understood the first incident involved a Jewish woman who was told on January 28 it was “impossible” to print the pictures in the size she wanted “because the Jews had used all the paper”.
The extraordinary revelations mean the team member was involved in not one, but two anti-Semitic incidents and still been retained as an employee.
On Thursday, The Australian revealed footage of the staff member refusing to laminate a Jewish newspaper on March 4, with the Jewish customer taking Officeworks to an anti-discrimination tribunal over the confrontation and senior Officeworks executives and staff set to undergo an anti-Semitism awareness course run by peak body the Executive Council of Australian Jewry.
An anti – Semitism course run by the Israeli Army..
You have to be careful with Rowling. She also had this to say.
In typical feminist bullshit she’s blaming men. I don’t believe a single man thinks men who pretend they’re women should be involved in female sports. Rowling does though. Fck her.
Rowling is a man hater.
It’s worse than that. Whenever you catch a
staff.. er .. (cough).. team member, at something like this, it is never their first time.Next Wesfarmers A.G.M. should be a lively affair – I might go along to see the fun.
Custard, if the government printed billions of dollars to purchase bitcoin it would increase the money supply cause inflation to rise. It wouldn’t cause inflation to rise a couple of percent. Printing hundreds of billions of dollars would cause hyper inflation. Your suggestion is off the wall stupid.
Whatever you think of that boxing match, just look at the arms of Carini and that bloke.
He is not a woman, even cohenite’s cutes are more feminine.
Personally, I wouldn’t go as far as that.
He is not a woman, even cohenite’s cutes are more feminine.
That’s going too far.

Rowling is wrong, though it would be fair enough to say many if not most trans men have serious women issues.
Even though the Algerian is not ‘trans’ trans politics are the reason he wasn’t disqualified.
And yes women shouldn’t be boxing, but whichever sport he chose, he’s at an unfair disadvantage.
Doesn’t mean I don’t have sympathy for someone born not as nature intended.
I’m in the wild west of Ireland, once again rain sleeting down at different angles.
Skibbereenians are all in town, came in to watch a local in the rowing, staying in to celebrate gold gold gold for Ireland.
Bus trip was beautiful, especially as this bus had clear glass windows, unlike the one from Waterford to Cork.

Re Trump’s persona and debate style, what really gets me is that so often Trump does not throw back at them their extraordinary ‘out of context’ lies that they construct from his speeches.
For instance, at the start of that black stenographer’s interview she reeled off, by way of introduction, a catalogue of lies about what he’d ‘said’ or ‘believed in’. He should have made a blanket statement immediately that all of that was lies, extracted out of context, before he went on the attack about the false pretences which drew him to this interview and and before he was led into detail on Kamala’s ethnicity.
Letting this hostile interviewer blatantly say this in her intro without immediate rebuttal was a great missed opportunity. If he doesn’t rebut their lies when they make them in his hearing, the lies stand.
Radical feminism nurtured the toxic weed of transgenderism, allowing the weed to grow and flourish, and like all weeds it is now strangling and destroying its host…..the female.
The fundamental thesis of feminism is that women had been subjugated by the patriarchal society for thousands of years, and nobody noticed until Germaine Greer pointed it out in the seventies.
I actually gave this proposition a few seconds thought when I first met it. Which is much more than it deserves.
