  • I'm so fucking tired of this discourse, besides the very obvious transphobia that the Brits love, at this point it's thinly veiled sexism that the only women competing should be visibly stereotypically feminine. Which you know, runs counter to the required muscle mass to compete in these sports. Then you've got the factor that the women targeted in these tirades are often times POC so it's checking even more bigotry boxes.

    With their collapsing economy and lack of import in global politics, the purpose of TERF island appears to be acting as a bigotry factory exporting their shit takes to the rest of the world.

  • George Foreman won Olympic gold in 1968, he was so absurdly strong that even in his literal 40s, coming out of retirement to box again mainly because he was absolutely broke, while having the physique of Homer Simpson, he still punched so hard that opponents that actually BEAT HIM would start asking their corner during the breaks between rounds to please check that all of their teeth were still attached, and his comeback career was still almost unanimously treated as a total farce.

    This shit is so fucking dumb in comparison, yeah of course she hits hard, shes an Olympic boxer. She beat rural Algerian misogyny to make it this far and now this fascist culture war bullshit is trying to ruin her life.

  • Look how this poor woman got punched in the face!

    She's a God damn boxer competing in the Olympics! Of course they're punching eachother in the face, that's the point of the whole thing. They signed up for it!

  • Being AFAB was never going to be enough for these weirdos.

    Patriarchal standards never truly went away, and now these fuckers want to bring us back to the 50's

  • Holy Fuck the transphobic tirades that came out of this is extremely irritating and has me fully convinced people are extremely cooked from the reactionary news juice. It's legitimately depressing and I think the onion has a point.

  • I'm glad young me knew the Harry Pothead books were stupid shit for babies when I saw the movie as a pre-teen. Saved me having to be disappointed by this massive fucker of a TERF.

    • i hate that you can't even point this out to people without them getting pissy, like 'art' is supposed to be some transcendental ultimate expression of humanity, or its at least supposed to say something about some aspect of the world, but even fellow leftists in my life trip over themselves to praise how great the movies were. and what do the movies even say about anything? if you are the chosen one then things will basically work out for you no matter how shitty your life is now? that new-rich ghouls are just as valid as old-rich? the series has absolutely nothing interesting to say whatsoever. a bit of twee bri'ish aesthetics and 'wot if i were actually secretly rich' wish fulfillment and 'wot if school but magic and i was better than everyone else' fantasy and the squealing hogs go fucking wild though. nothing but 'high production value' garbage slop. i swear to SANAT, nostalgia destroys the critical reasoning parts of the human brain. i liked the movies when i was a kid too, i also liked picking my nose and eating nothing but mcdonalds chicken nuggets, i was a disgusting moronic hobgoblin like all children are.

      • All five non-transphobic ride-or-die Potterheads: "You're supposed to do a heckin' death of the authorino!"

        Me: OK

      • like 'art' is supposed to be some transcendental ultimate expression of humanity,

        Uh the Harry Potter books and movies are not super high levels of art or anything but I disagree with this. "Art" is not a superlative. Bad art is art. And you don't need to be saying something super deep, whether intentionally or unintentionally, to be art. (Also art is subjective and you can find deep meaning in seemingly shallow things, the reason why I dont have time for people trying to do that with Harry Potter right now is because it gives money to the face of the transphobia movement, not because I think theyre wrong to do so).

      • There is exactly one transcendental shot in exactly one of the movies:

  • Genuinely Twitter reactionaries would believe anything. Transphobes are incapable of dealing with the actual material complexities of sex and their brain disintegrates when there is any deviation from the rigid binary they learned from children’s films.

  • Algerian boxer punched Italian boxer and made her cry

    LETS GOOOOOO

    Yeah, I don't fw yt people and actively stan Algeria in everything they do KEEP SCROLLING 🗣️🗣️🗣️

  • Joanne revealing her ass yet again I see.

    Many such cases

    Joanne and her ilk need bullied for their creepy obsessions

  • wanna bet the italian will go on a chud grifting career after this? this whole stunt by her seems like the start of a grifting career, she looked like she never boxed before wtf is she doing up there.

  • Why don’t you see transphobes complaining that there isn’t a height limit on basketball players? You know why.

    • Its taking the whole transphobia rhetoric to the fullest extent where terfs will claim any cis women specifically (very specifically non white) are secretly men but the woke society will gladly ignore that. Its a lot of weird shit. These terfs want to establish there's a rigid binary of masculinity and femininity. And any person who isn't falling into the weird patriarchal feminine standards is a man to them.

      The cherry on top is that people like rowling want to pretend that this is a grave injustice being carried out towards wombyn.

      • Thank you. I think everytime I've come across instances of hormone level gating it has always been non-white women affected by it.

      • Another reason why I think "Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist" is an inaccurate and shouldn't be used. Real radical feminists are cool as fuck. These are regressive misogynists and they'll eventually turn on cis women who don't fit their own warped views on gender. I can't remember where I saw this, but I once saw someone suggest the term FART, which I think means "Feminism-Appropriating Reactionary Transphobes."

    • People are going after this boxer because she previously was disqualified from a tournament in 2023 for failing their "sex test" because she has high levels of testosterone. Notably I believe the international boxing association ran this tournament, an organization the IOC has cut ties with. I don't know if there is a confirmed reason for her high T levels but it could be due to many genetic factors

      • The IBA said that she has XY chromosomes but that may not be reputable, and even if true, it may not be the cause of the elevated testosterone levels as she was born with a "standard" female anatomy. She is a high-level athlete, she probably was taking steroids and timed the end of her cycle a bit to closely to that event. I'd imagine that her T levels were below the limit for the Olympics as they are allowing her compete.

        I'm sure that plenty of XX cis women have the same issue with steroids all the time but we never hear about it because they weren't born woke.

        Also the boxer that lost was having an equipment issue and stated after the loss that she had no issue fighting Khelif, so she's not even complaining about it.

      • Thanks
