First, uneducated Christian American persecution fetishists blew the hell up in hyperbolic rage over their hypocritical, homophobic misidentification of a performance of a Dionysian feast with a fictionalised painting of The Last Supper, which they didn’t have a problem with when Dump was cast as Jesus in an actual mockery of the original painting. Leonardo was gay or bi as well - don’t tell them!
Now, the outrage queens, having spent the last handful of years crafting the spectre of societal annihilation and imminent violence from transgender girls and women integrating into society as if trans women were a new phenomenon (and trans men didn’t exist), in order to manufacture evidence of their assinine assertions, have begun accusing girls and cisgender women, often but not always Black women, who are in whatever way more skilled or stronger than the fragile storybook fantasy princesses all Real™ women obviously are, of being men in disguise.
To complicate things, there are inters*x women (and men and nonbinary folk) whose bodies defy easy categorisation. The Algerian boxer who broke the Italian bover’s nose had the increasingly popular accusation of sinister covert maleness levied against her. It turns out that she may have a Y chromosome, and this could happen in a number of ways. Simply having a Y chromosome doesn’t mean you will develop as a male. There are two women, mother and daughter, who were born appearing like every other female baby, grew up as such, developed normally as women, got pregnant in the usual way, and turned out to have XY chromosomes. How? Because our bodies are not inherently female or male. Specific hormones secreted by the body or introduced through umbilical cord from medications, cause all of the physical changes to the blank canvas foetuses. Also, the body’s cells have receptors for those hormones, and should the receptors be faulty, s*x differentiation will be disrupted. There is an infinite variety of ways this can express itself, from not being noticeable to children with ambiguous genitalia. And puberty can likewise go in any number of ways that challenge the fallacious concept of the binary. So, we don’t know anything for sure about Imane Khelif’s genetic makeup or physical development. Regardless, she is a woman who grew up in a virulently q***rphobic society. She would not be affirmed in this or any other way if she was trans. The doctor here gets most things correct in his speculative explanation. DSD - Disorders of Sexual Development (not Differentiation) is surprisingly common, about 1:50 births, most not apparent without testing. It took 23 years, an ultrasound, MRI scan, several confused doctors and techs and nurses, and a Karyotype test to figure out what went on with me.
This does not stop the ignorati wailing and frothing and lashing out with all the unsubstantiated vitriol of a bigot’s frothy conviction. If Khelif should be disqualified, where is she supposed to go? She’s not bult like a male boxer. She doesn’t have the hormones levels of one. Should we disqualify all basketball players over 6’ because they’re taller than the average person? What are the acceptable measurements to define a woman or man?
