– Two days ago we were discussing the case Angela cute And Imane Khalif claiming that reducing everything to “testosterone levels” was reductive. The sacrosanct principle must be the following: males fight against males, females against females. Period. However, there are particular situations, medical ones let’s say, that obviously must be taken into consideration. For this reason we have put forward a reflection, namely: would it make sense to open a new category for DsD (“variations in sex characteristics”)? A question that perhaps needs to be explained. First of all, it is necessary to distinguish between those born female with various dysfunctions (as – it seems – the case of Imane Khalif) and those who are born male but transition to female through hormones and operations. Let’s clear the field: men who perceive themselves as women, or who want to wear high heels, cannot compete against female athletes. There is no doubt about it. And this is why relying only on the “testosterone level” or “the sex indicated on the passport” – as the IOC claims – can be misleading: we thus risk including trans men who obtain a sex change in their documents and who perhaps have gone heavy on hormones in the hope of falling within the parameters required by the IOC. Which would be madness.. The case of those born women but with certain dysfunctions or other decidedly residual situations is different (it is estimated that they are between 0.018 and 1.7 percent). Be careful: we are not talking about perception (“from today I feel like a woman”), but about biological issues. Medical. If their “peculiarity” (absence of uterus, internal testicles, chromosomes XY) confers competitive advantages, becoming a sort of “genetic doping”, there are three options: exclude them altogether (as happened with Caster Semenya); imagine “ad hoc” competitions; or rely on tests and limits, with the risk however of producing the great chaos of recent years, with Federations that block athletes and the IOC that instead admits them. Stopping at the debate on woke culture is not enough. But neither is it a scandal to state that questioning the legitimacy of Khelif’s presence in the ring. To understand, let’s go for paradoxes. If one day a swimmer, due to a malformation or dysfunction at birth, came into the world with three arms, wouldn’t we ask ourselves whether or not it would be appropriate to have him compete (or with what limitations) with someone who can only move the water with two hands? There. Guaranteeing the rights of all other athletes is also “inclusive”.
– Be careful when saying: “Imane Khalif she has also participated in other tournaments and previous Olympics, so what is the problem?”. Just because no one has stopped them before, does not automatically mean that everything is okay.
– Honor to All who does not dramatize the house arrest (“the place is pleasant, the family pampered me”) but gets to the dramatic point: he is free, politics is not. Which has once again bowed to the exaggerated will of the magistrates. A power, that of the judges, who have arrogated to themselves “a sort of moral judgment on politics”.
– Novoak Djokovic he had some big physical problems and risked having to miss the semi-final against Little snouts. He said: “Even if the doctors say no, I’ll still go on the pitch”. And if one thinks that Sinner gave up because of tonsillitis…
– Perfect analysis, of Allwhich must be reported point by point: “The narrative is as follows: I have two entrepreneurs in front of me as president. One has always been a financier of my electoral committees, the other has never given me a cent. Both have a legitimate case pending in the regional offices and are asking for political involvement for a quick resolution. If I pick up the phone and ask for my financier I am corrupt, if I do it for the other I have made an act of political direction. There is something that doesn’t add up”. Is it clear to you?
– Title of Republicdefinitely false: “Melons prefers Eurodisney to Macron: nothing bilateral”. Apart from the fact that the piece spoke of “agenda problems” for both of them. And in any case, this afternoon the two met in Versailles. What do you say, will they correct the hoax?
– Joseph With you opens to the hypothesis of a name change for the Five Stars movement. “The citizens who will participate in our process will decide if this is an issue to put on the table.” Translated from the Grillino political jargon: it will be done. Succulent.
– Two friars arrested on charges of sexual abuse and subsequent theft to steal the cell phones that would have accused them. I didn’t know monastic life was so eventful.
– Oh, anyway.
Italy is such a homophobic country that yesterday, under the eyes of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni (“racist, racist”), the Italian Olympic Judo champion made out with his girlfriend live on TV. No “regime”, as they call the FdI one, would have allowed such a thing, which shows that the limitation of LGBT rights is a sinister fantasy. Very sinister.
