V NEWSFEED // Reduxx on Monday released an article citing a new medical report that states controversial boxer Imane Khelif, the athlete who won gold in the women’s welterweight boxing category during the 2024 Paris Olympics, was born male.
Donald Trump Jr., son of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, took the opportunity to speak out against men taking part in women’s sports.
“No more men in women’s sports!!!” wrote the younger Trump. “I called this when it happened. I was censored, shadow-banned and as usual I was right just like so many of you were.”
According to Reduxx, French journalist Djaffar Ait Aoudia obtained a copy of a medical report, dated June of 2023, which revealed that “Khelif is impacted by 5-alpha reductase deficiency, a disorder of sexual development that is only found in biological males.”
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) had allowed Khelif to compete in the 2024 Paris Olympics 65 kg category against women, despite being aware of the athlete’s true sex.
Aoudia recounted the medical report and physical examination to Reduxx journalist Anna Slatz, stating that the report held evidence of Khelif’s sexual developmental disorder and that an “MRI determined that Khelif had no uterus, but instead had internal testicles.” In addition, Slatz stated, “a chromosomal test further confirmed that Khelif has an XY karyotype, while a hormone test found that Khelif had a testosterone level typical of males.”
Aoudia’s report included copies and photos of the medical examination.
Reduxx reported:
This report coincides with an earlier admission by Khelif’s coach, Georges Cazorla, that the Algerian boxer had been subjected to an assessment at the Kremlin-Bicêtre Hospital after being disqualified from women’s boxing by the International Boxing Association (IBA) in March of 2023.
Additional confirmation was provided by a member of the IOC press committee:
Further confirmation of the boxers’ karyotype was given by Alan Abrahamson, an associate professor at the University of Southern California’s Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, who is a specialist in Olympic sports and member of the International Olympic Committee’s press committee. In an August statement, Abrahamson said that he had personally viewed the results of the hotly-contested chromosomal tests ordered by the IBA in 2022 and 2023 which “concluded the boxer’s DNA was that of a male consisting of XY chromosomes.”
Khelif notably forced Italian boxer Angela Carini, a woman, to withdraw from their match 46 seconds in, following harsh blows to Carini’s face, and went on to win gold in the welterweight division.
The IOC was slammed by the International Boxing Association (IBA) for its decision to allow Khelif to compete despite knowing his genetic condition.
Again, from Reduxx:
The news sparked a firestorm of controversy, with the IBA coming out in opposition to the IOC’s decision to allow biological males to box against women in Paris.
During a press conference in August, the IBA repeatedly confirmed that Khelif had failed multiple chromosomal tests, but was unable to release barred from releasing the results of those tests by the Algerian Olympic Committee.
Previously, IOC spokesman Mark Adams claimed Khelif was “born female, was registered female, lived her life as a female, boxed as a female, has a female passport.”
The newly released evidence caused Independent Council on Women’s Sports (ICONS) co-foundress Marshi Smith to speak out against the IOC and declare that Khelif should be stripped of his gold medal, citing “male violence against women.”
“They stood by as women were subjected to physical assault for spectacle, stripped of safety, fairness, and their lifetime achievements,” said Smith. “All those involved must face swift and serious consequences.”
Donald Trump Jr., an advocate of protecting women in sports, used the new evidence as an opportunity to remind American voters of the far-reaching effects of “transgender” policies, and how American voters can put an end to them on November 5.
“Stop the insanity tomorrow,” he wrote.
From the start, the sane among us said X & Y makes you a guy.
The size of the hands?
Duh
He shouldn’t have been boxing against the women. We agree about that.
That said, some of the DSDs are pretty tricky. Do a two minute google search and read a bit about 5-alpha reductase deficiency. Ambiguous external genitalia — in extreme cases, female appearing genitalia — are one of the complications.
This may be one of those rare cases in which the “sex assigned at birth” is indeed based on a mistaken impression. I don’t know Khelif’s story in any detail, but I have the impression he was raised as girl and has always considered himself female. He probably passed the eyeball test as an infant and in childhood. I don’t think I’ve ever seen any information regarding when his condition was actually discovered.
That’s always been fairly obvious, at least to me.
His face seems locked into some kind of permanent snarl or scowl. That part seems female.
Probably not. Drop the drawers. That will tell the tale.
No; this person has Swyer’s syndrome, an extremely rare genetic disorder. They are born with external female genitalia, no weenie.
Also, the beanies never dropped so they do not appear on the outside.
By all outward appearances, they are a female. It took genetic testing to confirm XY chromosomes.
Not everyone is born XX or XY. A small percentage of the population has XXY, XYY, and X/partial X, etc.
Supermodel Hanne Odeile has Swyers.
Well that is a relief. I wondered how such an offensively ugly woman had ever been born.
I heard about this case while the Olympics were going on. His DNA proves that he is a male, but because of abnormal development (not his fault) he was thought to be a girl when he was born. So not like the usual “trans” cases...but still unfair to women to have him competing against them because of his testosterone.
Wow, who could have guessed?! They better stop letting him fight women, before he kills one of them.
In the beginning, I thought Khalif might have Swyer’s, too.
But, this latest story (assuming it’s true) is claiming Khalif has 5-ARD.
Either way, Khalif and Khalif’s parents probably did not know Khalif has a DSD.
What’s a male? Is that different from a female?
“A small percentage of the population has XXY, XYY ...”
People born with XXY (Kleinfelter) and XYY (Jacobs) sex chromosomes are genetic males. Fifty years ago, I was a statistical consultant on an project that identified older (40+) mothers as having a slightly higher propensity to give birth to XXY males.
How do you know that??
Do you have more info on him?
There was no testing done by the Olympics. They went by the stated sex
on their passport.
Yes, there are people born with this genetic disorder you mentioned, but I honestly do not believe he is one of them.
If he is, why not do a genetic testing and prove it, instead of beating the crap out of woman ?
I wrote that all athletes should be tested for chromosomes before they are allowed to compete. Then, "only biological females would be admitted."
Just to be clear, the chromosome test would only be the start. Because the chromosome test doesn't tell everything.
Some people with XY chromosomes have a uterus and female organs, which means they are female.
There were several articles around the time of the Olympics discussing this condition.
