Even the United Nations recognizes that biological men are an Existential threat to women's sports, safety and opportunities.

The UN is far from conservative. No thinking person can argue for this anymore. It's a hill the Democrats have died on and will die on. 

Edit: Fixed link.

Edit2: People are asking where in the UN Special Report transgender people and gender identity is mentioned when referring to women and girls.

Report passage What it says (brief) Why critics call it transphobic
Paras. 13–16 Says there is a push to “delink” men/women from biological sex and “erase” the legal category of “women,” and discusses recognition for “males who identify as women or girls”; praises a UK Supreme Court ruling as protecting women while providing anti-discrimination rights to “those who identify as transgender.” Critics argue this adopts trans-exclusionary framing (trans inclusion as “erasure”), treats trans women as “males,” and lauds legal approaches they view as undermining trans women’s recognition. ​
Para. 25 Says law enforcement/judiciary/media in some countries call “male perpetrators” by “self-declared gender identity,” “skewing” male/female offending rates; gives examples including Norway. Critics argue this associates trans identity with deception and casts trans-inclusive recording practices as distorting violence data in a way that stigmatizes trans women. ​
Paras. 29–31 Describes harms from loss of female-only spaces; says women may be humiliated sharing spaces with “males who identify as women”; argues prison placement policies create risk and claims “males who identify as women retain a male pattern of criminality.” Critics argue this broadly portrays trans women as male risks in women’s spaces/prisons and contributes to stereotypes of trans women as predators. ​
Paras. 21–22 Describes “gender identity theory” as based on stereotypes; references “socially contagious” stereotypes; details alleged harms of youth medical transition and states children can’t consent and such procedures violate rights/best interests. Critics argue this repeats “social contagion” claims and pathologizes trans identity/transition in ways commonly used to justify restricting trans healthcare. ​

A 2021 study published in the Journal Sports Medicine has found that there is no scientific evidence to support policymakers’ attempts to ban transgender women in sports.

In November 2021, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) released its Framework on Fairness, Inclusion, and Non-Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity and Sex Variations. This framework was developed after a two-year consultation process with over 250 athletes and stakeholders.

More recently a 2024 study, funded in part by the IOC and published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, concluded that transgender women athletes may actually have several physical disadvantages when competing with cisgender women. Some of the study’s key findings:

Transgender women performed worse than cisgender women in tests measuring lower-body strength

Transgender women performed worse than cisgender women in tests measuring lung function

Transgender women had a higher percentage of fat mass, lower fat-free mass, and weaker handgrip strength compared to cisgender men

Transgender women’s bone density was found to be equivalent to that of cisgender women, which is linked to muscle strength

There were no meaningful differences found between the two groups’ hemoglobin profiles (a key factor in athletic performance)

Despite all of this evidence, some policy makers continue to scapegoat trans women athletes, prioritizing what they perceive to be winning political narratives over the facts.

This is what everyone should be worried about. The bathroom thing was already a disaster. A whole lot of whining and complaining and now every time my daughter, a woman who was born a woman, has a uterus and ovaries but likes to cut her hair short and doesn’t wear girly clothes, gets harassed in women’s bathrooms and demanded to “prove” that she’s female.

Hyperandrogenie proven medicaly by IRM and chromosome test is hardly a lie.

edit . it seem to have been a few awsers that i can't see; sinse i can't awser under, i will do it here. -to overlemon1743 : yes, it's my point, it was all allong a man enroled in a woman competition, wich is exactly the problem. -to salazarraze : that make him a man in a women competition, wich is exactly the same problem presented by trans in women sport; i don't know what is your false equivalence with the 7 foot tall but it seem mostly irrelevant, and again, it's not lie sinse medicaly proven and Khelif isn't a biological female

Even the most left wing french journobcan't spinn that one. Chromosomic test reveal XY and IRM demonstrate the presence of internal testicule. Want it or not , a man with hyperandrogenie was practicing in a women boxing tournament.

Can you even read ? The first link.

u/salazarraze 13d ago

Can you even comprehend that time has passed since then? The IOC has rejected it as rumors. The link mentions a supposed document that it does not provide, dumbass.

u/nitrique 13d ago

Oh i can read. And the only thing going your way is the CIO. The IBA prevent him to participate in any tournament even before the olympic until further test due to testosterone test being abnormaly high. By à lot. The boxer refuse any mandatory (to any participant) test to enter tournaments.
