Expecially when there was actually 1 trans man in the women division, Hergie Bacyadan, that can never start a medical transition until he will retire from the competitions because taking testosterone is forbidden by the IOC and almost any federation.

How big of a cunt do you have to be to make the IOC the good guys?

I'm surprised by the IOC doing the right thing.

Finally it gets out in the open... A few years ago people got called idiots for pointing out the connections between russian olig. money and the 'anti-woke' and transphobic movements in western countries. Thanks Katy 💟

Surprise, surprise, surprise!

Pretty much nothing the Gender Criticals say has any basis in reality. Just as long as they can feed their hate they'll say or do anything.

alzbeth.bsky.social•2 days ago

but of course the IOC President's words won't be covered much on mainstream media, so the uninformed consumers of Rowling and Musk, that spouted bile at the time will not be challenged.

Yep, and seeing that the claims were coming from the Russian led IBA this should have been obvious at the time, but somehow the British media saw it as an excuse to claim how dangerous and irresponsible it was to allow transgender women in sports instead.

jonvr.bsky.social•2 days ago

Wild how all the hateful bigots are also just flat out dumb. Almost like if they were capable of thinking critically they wouldnt actually BE hateful bigots.

kazhawa.bsky.social•2 days ago

This appeared on The Guardian website (listed under The Observer by Reuters).

It would be very interesting of course to see them both report on how everything they wrote at the time failed to adequately cover these crucial facts. What are the chances eh?

Problem - if you will: This concerns "only" those two athletes, and the Russia connection has been well known for a while. Hard to dismiss.

Of course, it does not reflect on trans athletes in general with regard to Olympic Games and the attacks on current rules. Will the IOC stand tall there, too?

No argument except «Russia».
So still the best slogan: No men in womens sport!

katymontgomerie.com•1 day ago

There's no evidence for anything you believe

enorbor.bsky.social•1 day ago

I believe nothing! Fact about cromosomes are not believe.

enorbor.bsky.social•2 days ago

So the abuse of women in the ring was nothing? Russia is not on its own a good enough argument. But you can try!

katymontgomerie.com•1 day ago

Abuse? It's boxing

sybilsykes27.bsky.social•2 days ago

Quelle surprise. 🤔

jennifer812.bsky.social•2 days ago

No real surprise there.

gaygardener.bsky.social•2 days ago

It's convenient to blame Russia though, isn't it? They get to absolve themselves of any responsibility while doing nothing to improve access to sport for trans and gender non-conforming athletes.

jonathanwinston.bsky.social•2 days ago

U don't need Russia in the mix, to not want to see women getting punched in the face by men.
Nor get a medal for punching women.

katymontgomerie.com•1 day ago

You're an idiot if you believe the obvious lie that these women aren't women

jonathanwinston.bsky.social•1 day ago

Look,I get it.
You need to champion someone with a developmental/birth issue - being included in a single sex space - to help bolster the claims of Trans people.

But u know you're wrong.
& you're supporting male violence against women.

Just to score some points for trans.

All you've done, is prove why women have legitimate concerns.

ms-masquerade.bsky.social•1 day ago

Now, the big question: Is he gonna do anything?

Or is this another "it's Russian disinformation, but we're not really gonna do a whole lot because that would be so hard"?

threequarters.bsky.social•2 days ago

Did we know that at the time? There's a reason the Olympics disassociated itself from the RBF.

the-dallas-denali.bsky.social•2 days ago

The US should be banned from the Olympics this time around imo

katymontgomerie.com•1 day ago

They didn't ban Nazi Germany, why would they do anything now

holly.lancaster-smith.me•2 days ago

I reckon London could be ready in less than two years, but we may have the same problems in two years. 🤷‍♀️🤬

aminaerin.bsky.social•2 days ago

Don’t even whisper it holly

mesoho.bsky.social•2 days ago

I’d rather not reward TERF Island with any games. It’s as bad here (but less overt) as in USA

holly.lancaster-smith.me•2 days ago

Not currently limiting freedom of movement for trans people.

(outside of stupid Brexit nonsense which is indiscriminate unless you have diverse heritage)

mesoho.bsky.social•2 days ago

Oh really?!
I am currently having to jump through extra hoops not advice in current guidance because they have decided, apropos of nothing to add extra unnecessary requirements designed to make it harder for me to get my passport. It takes 3 weeks for cis folks I’m on week 8 … 1/2

mesoho.bsky.social•2 days ago

2/2 … and the refuse to issue my passport or release my original one of a kind documents.

All because they have added extra, difficult to get evidence requirements that were not there when I applied and whose presence is actually not required ask made clear in another clause of their SOPs

the-dallas-denali.bsky.social•2 days ago

Cancel us till we stop committing human rights violations

gudulemartens.bsky.social•1 day ago

Well they both can publicize their DNA test and prove they are women.
Why don't they do that? 🤔

katymontgomerie.com•1 day ago

How would that prove it. Some cis women are XY

gudulemartens.bsky.social•1 day ago

DSDs show up in the DNA in combination with hormone level. Khelif has XY and has to have his testosteronlevel lowered. Which means that he has testicles.
He is a man, probably with the same DSD as Caster Semenya.
Let him publicize the testresults so we can end this nonsense.

katymontgomerie.com•1 day ago

Man talking to bigoted people like you makes me feel ill. I just don't know how you can have so much hatred for other people. Disgusting. Obviously everything you've said here is just total nonsense. You can't tell what sex someone is just from a DNA test or from a hormone test.

gudulemartens.bsky.social•1 day ago

If you feel ill you should go to the doctor. Or you can just block me because I will never agree with the notion that men should be in women's sports.
79% of the population agree with me.

gudulemartens.bsky.social•1 day ago

I love women's sports. I don't hate anyone, apart from lying men pretending to be women for the money and the awards.
For 99.982% a simple cheek swab is sufficient to determine sex. The 0.018% of the population with a DSD are test this way. 👇
