It ain't the Ritz, folks.

The article leaves out a key fact. Khelif is a woman. She is not a transgender person. It's funny to me that right wingers are always mocking people that can't define a woman. Khelif has a womb. A woman, yes or no? Is it her fault that she has genetics that make her athletically superior any more than was it Mark Spitz's fault that he had a body perfectly designed to be an elite swimmer? If you have a chess match and one player is a super genius are you going to ban him?

More like willful ignorance. The same kind of knuckleheads who insist the US isn't a democracy.

Welcome to Thailand where everything is great. Or else.

They are not trans. They are women. They cleared to compete by the IOC. They are now victims of a right wing culture wars just because of their looks.

No evidence they have or ever had penises.

No evidence they have or ever had penises.

But you haven't proven they're males!!!!!

Great point. No way they would change the gender for a trans person. Maybe she's a freak but she's a female freak.

I want it to be looked at but I reject witch hunts based on superficial appearances. I'm seeing this as different than about transgender athletes. If it was proven they were transgender I would understand saying they shouldn't be allowed to compete. But I've seen zero evidence that they are transgender. Back to what I said about Mark Spitz. Look at his body and if you know about swimming you know he had an "unfair" advantage. So again just looking too manly is no grounds for disqualification.

Ad hominem garbage. You lose.

I haven't read a single thing saying the two controversial looking too manly athletes are transgender. Have you? If so, please post the proof

Many people are scared of their own shadows. Trump vs. Harris no contest. Fascism vs. Democracy. Simple.

I would tend to give credibility to the IOC in matters related to athlete eligibility for the Olympics.

By not enacting Project 2025 for one. Especially the part where skilled and experienced civil servants are fired and replaced by people only qualified by loyalty to dear leader Donald Trump. That's fascism.

Spooky. Interesting choice of words.

The forces of all the allies were needed. I'm not buying the Kremlin propaganda that it was only because of the Russians.

Prove that with a source.

The IOC has rejected the validity of those tests. So stop acting like this is a clear black and white situation. It is not. Again by your logic Mark Spitz should have been disqualified because he was born with genetic advantages. If the athletes were born females, they are females, right? Or do you have a problem defining what is a woman?

You don't actually know if she's a man. If a woman looks manly, does that mean she's a man? If a man looks feminine, does that mean he's a woman? Mark Spitz was born with a perfect swimmer's body. Should he have been excluded from competing? I well understand the debate about trans people in sports. This isn't that, is it? My understanding is that the IOC has totally rejected the previous rejection of the two controversial athletes as bogus. Everyone wants fairness. But you also need to be fair to all athletes too, including ones that don't look right to you.

There aren't that many actual lefties. Right wingers call anyone to the left of Mussolini a lefty.

I recently did this transition from username pwd to login.gov. It was surprisingly quite easy. You are presented with a list of authenticators to choose. First I choose the code list. They generate a list of codes that you save. Then it suggested that I choose another. It was NOT required to choose another. I tried the SMS phone option after I learned that Thai numbers were OK. I added that, got a code on my Thai phone, and successfully added a second authenticator option. No U.S. phone needed. No Thai phone needed either. Easy peasy.

Fox "News"? That explains your deep ignorance about Harris.

Yes, to say Harris doesn't have enough experience is basically racist.

Expats "local office" is Manilla.
