Do you know she doesn't have the test results? When I get medical tests done I usually do receive the test results.
There are news reports saying she's a man if you care so much about news reports.
It's funny how it works both ways. She doesn't have to release the results. And they don't have to release them so you can verify it either. Playing your own stupid game. Why do they have to release the results?
You seem to be misunderstanding, intentionally I would guess. They claimed they did a test to "confirm" she was not a woman, I'm saying that's a steaming hot load of bullshit and they were just looking for an excuse and they have no results to release.
Please cite your sources saying there are news reports that she's a man.
That user is basing their position on a Daily Mail article citing LePoint, a french right-wing magazine, that quotes one of her trainers, who said (with context) "There was a problem with her hormones and chromosomes, but she's a woman. That's all that mattered to us."
Nowhere does that even suggest she has XY chromosomes, and, to state the obvious, he's not a doctor. He's responding to an unsubstantiated allegation, and probably giving it too much credit. He even says that she underwent a testosterone test that came back within female norms.
It really is simple. The burden of proof is on people making these claims, and we're not taking the word of a blatantly corrupt organization, that had a vested interest in disqualifying Khelif, who would not say what test was administered or what the results were. If they had more specific information, they wouldn't shut up about it, because won't even shut up now with less to go on.
Here you go.
Are you sure I'm the one intentionally misunderstanding things?
First of all, and you knew I was gonna lead with this, The Daily Mail?
Ok, let's pretend that's a legit news organization, now read my comment quoting Snopes and tell me if that answers any of your "questions".
This is the source of the daily mail article. It's an exclusive interview with her coach since apparently you don't care to look further into it. Again, who is intentionally doing what here?
Anyways they should just test the chromosomes of their fighters at the very least. It's a simple blood sample nothing too invasive at all. I don't really care to watch an XY beat on an XX personally I don't see how it's an equal fight. Watch whatever you want though.
So you ignored the Snopes article, got it. You only seem to reply to the comments that are easy for you to deflect, how interesting.
What snopes article. Wtf are you talking about lmao. I think you were talking to someone else not me about that. Makes sense seeing how delusional you are anyways.
Ok I'll repeat myself: elsewhere in this thread I replied quoting the Snopes article on this subject. Are those instructions too confusing for you?
You never linked a snopes article to me. You never quoted anything from a snopes article to me. I don't know who you replied to but it's not on my thread here.
The thread begins when someone says something. Then people reply. ELSEWHERE in this thread is a reply, from me, quoting Snopes. Go back to when systemglitch commented in this post, follow the path to my reply quoting Snopes.
If I cared to reply to your comment you made to someone else I would have lmao. You can either quote relevant parts to me to what I'm talking about or you can fk on off. I'm not going on some wild goose hunt to track down a comment you made to someone else.
I mean even after looking I don't see any snopes article link. And I don't see any quotes.
Uh huh, on my screen it's literally 2 comments below this one, kinda feels like you're looking for an excuse not to answer. Kinda like that time a wrestling organization looked for a bullshit excuse to disqualify someone, what a lovely parallel.
Ok? That's on your Lemmy app. On my screen it is not like that. Like a normal person you can just copy and paste in whatever relevant parts you want me to respond to. Hell, you can even paste the link to the comment you made or the link to the fucking snopes article. At this point I don't even care to engage with you anymore.
You might be the most low effort person ever. Good luck in your future life, you'll need it.
