Look, I'm kind of mad that you're dragging me back into this stupid year old argument. Quoting a bunch of reddit comments is not particularly convincing "evidence". There's plenty in there that address some of your points and I'm not going to sit here and have a proxy argument with you through other's comments. I don't believe there's enough evidence to say they are a male, nor do I know enough about genetics to say anything worthwhile about whether she's intersex and what sort of implications that brings. Based on what you've said so far, I'm guessing you're no geneticist either.

This is exactly why organizations are instituting sex testing, so that we don't have to have a silly culture war and can just focus on sports. Khelif is welcome to compete in women's leagues after going through the same sex test that everyone else will go through as well.

You're the one standing up for the people waging the culture war here, JKR doesn't give a shit about women's sports. Khelif's lost a quarter of her fights, she's good but she's no Mike Tyson.

If you're going to dismiss evidence simply because you don't want it to be true, that's fine. Seems kind of silly to me, but you do you.

I dismissed it because it can't be corroborated, which is the same reason you should dismiss it as well. Sure, life would be a lot easier if I could be swayed by random bullshit on reddit and turn off all critical thinking skills and logic at a whim, but I can't. God it would be easy to decisively talk about the sex of a random amateur boxer halfway across the world while simultaneously decrying the "culture war", but I can't. Man life would be so much simpler if I could just be that goddamn stupid 👍
