“Italian boxer Angela Carini pulled out of the Paris Olympics mid-fight on Thursday,” Reuters reports, “after she sustained a series of crunching blows from her Algerian opponent Imane Khelif, who last year failed a gender eligibility test at the World Championships.” Khelif and Lin Yu-ting of Taiwan had been disqualified “after failing International Boxing Association (IBA) eligibility rules that prevent athletes with male XY chromosomes competing in women’s events.”
The International Olympic Committee cleared both to fight at the Paris Olympics. The IOC’s Framework on Fairness, Inclusion and Non-discrimination on the basis of gender identity and sex variations, offers guidelines to federations on ensuring inclusion and fairness in sport, including athletes with Differences of Sexual Disorder (DSD). Before Khelif’s bout, IOC spokesman Mark Adams defended the body’s decision for Paris 2024.
“This involves real people and we are talking about real people’s lives here.” They have lost and they have won against other women over the years.” As Sir Bedevire (Terry Jones) might say, who is this who is so wise in the ways of gender? As it turns out, Mark Adams, an IOC mouthpiece since 2009, holds a degree in economics from the University of Manchester and a degree in art history from the Open University.
As the Fox News story put it, Khelif “was deemed to have male chromosomes” and has “reinvigorated controversy around gender fairness.” Two-time Olympic medalist Claressa Shields said Carini had been ruined by “a man,” with J.K. Rowling posting on X that the IOC “allowed a male to get in the ring with her.”
The dynamic in play here is not DSD but DSM – the Dictatorship of the Subjunctive Mood, the true generator of the Reality Dysphoria (RD) now on display in the Olympics. With the proper hormone treatments, Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor would doubtless enjoy great success against the ladies. No man with any integrity would contemplate such fraud.
The IOC is okay with it, and Imane Khelif was declared the winner. For a boxing match worth watching, dial it back to the 1976 Olympics and watch Leon Spinks of the USA versus the highly favored Sixto Soria of Cuba. Seconds after Howard Cosell says Spinks is “without boxing skills,” the American delivers a right that sends Soria to the canvas and gives Leon Spinks the gold medal. USA! USA! USA!
