Imane Khelif of Team Algeria, who has previously been deemed a biological male, faced off against Italian female athlete Angela Carini in the boxing ring on day six of the Paris Olympic Games.
Do you enjoy watching men beating up women? I don’t. Any exceptions? Not that I can think of. But the International Olympics Committee have decided otherwise. Watching men beating up women is fine so long as it’s in a huge stadium and televised for all the world to see. Got it? I am referring, of course, to the boxing-ring bout in Paris Thursday, where the female Italian athlete Angela Carini was pitted against an opponent named Imane Khelif.
In the past, Khelif has been deemed to be 'biologically male.' That is as a bloke, a dude, a man, a fella. All those terms that we used to know how to use, but which seem to have become so complicated suddenly. Last year, Khelif was disqualified from the world championships after failing testosterone tests. It seems he was found to have higher levels of testosterone than is quite normal for a woman. But that doesn’t seem to have been a problem for the IOC.
Young women who have worked all hours to get to their peak performance capability have kept having their dreams dashed. Time and again, they took the silver or bronze medal or missed the podium altogether. Still, it’s all 'progress' isn’t it? Unsurprisingly, it was the more violent sports that first alerted some people to the fact that there was a real problem here. It is more than a decade now since my friend Joe Rogan noticed something was up.
Still there is a crowd of people — not large in size but damn noisy in volume — who will scream 'bigot' at anyone stating this. It gets harder all the time. With every day even Google, Wikipedia and other online sources try to rewrite the past, erasing the real names of people who have 'transitioned' and pretending that they were always a woman. Or that at the most the person had been 'assigned male at birth.
Who knows if or when this madness might end. But for anyone who thinks this is good, just remember: there are prisons all over the land with men in them who’ve beaten up women. You may get away with excusing this in plain sight today. But you won’t forever.
