Imane Khelif Declared A Man With Testes

I Lost Work Over Khelif - We Should Sue the BBC

Imane Khelif: Alleged Man

Twenty-four hours ago, a leaked report alleged that Imane Khelif is a man with testes and a micropenis. Yet, the BBC is silent. ITV, Sky News, and American equivalents have also decided this is not newsworthy despite all the excessive airtime and lines they devoted to the topic. Vogue still heralds him as an icon because we really do inhabit an age when a penis (however micro) is the height of ladies fashion.

This was a salient story for the above corporations when there remained hope that they hadn’t contributed to one of the worst atrocities in sports history. Now, with further evidence they were complicit in - nay, cheered on - a big burly bloke’s demolition (5-0 in every match) of more experienced women boxers, their response is cowardly silence.

Reduxx published medical reports accessed by French journalist Djaffar Ait Aoudia that confirm that Khelif has “testicles”. The reports claim he lacks a uterus and presents with a micropenis.

We must be careful with these kinds of reports because they are falsifiable. However, the findings correspond with initial reports from the International Boxing Association. I spent hours speaking with developmental biologist Dr Emma Hilton and evolutionary biologist Dr Colin Wright, who also stated that male was the only possibility for Khelif.

If you search Google for Latest News, the following publications have reported that Khelif is - as was evident from the start - a man. The only genuinely recognisable name is the Washington Post, which is quite unbelievably doubling down about the “debunked” claim.

This is a problem.

Not only ethically (how can we rely on our news organisations to tell the truth / how can we prevent men from beating up women in sports) but also legally. We cannot have a legal system that continually punishes whistleblowers - in this case, Elon Musk and JK Rowling - while allowing the corporate status quo to publish defamatory information about individuals. Many of us who spoke up against this sporting travesty had are reputations irrecoverably damaged.

We have defamation laws to protect individuals and corporations from slander and libel, yet the system is set up to punish individuals who either lack the resources or—in Musk and JK Rowling’s cases—the inclination or time to pursue the companies.

While Musk and Rowling - and we YouTubers and social media influencers - are real individuals with convictions to stand by, the BBC and the other news channels are soulless entities waiting to see which way the wind blows.

Islamophobia & Class-Action Lawsuit

They have protection in numbers. No individual at the BBC takes the flack when they get it wrong. This is fundamentally unfair, which is why I believe social media influencers should launch a class action lawsuit. Any lawyer who considers this viable should contact me.

When the BBC published What Does Science Tell Us About Boxing’s Gender Row, they wrote the palpably absurd: “Do people with differences of sex development have an unfair advantage in sport? The short answer is that there is not enough data to reach a definitive conclusion.”

Obviously, if someone has gone through male puberty, they have a significant advantage when pummelling someone who has not. What of the Eurosports commentators who called Imane’s victory a “proud moment for Algeria”?

And Sky Sports, who suggested the IBA “confused the waters more than they should have done”? PBS is among the many who got this wrong. They still have a video published with “False accusations” in the title.

I remember one commentary that I can’t find now, in which the male commentator effused over Khelif and even suggested Islamophobia* was the reason for doubts over this testicled man’s femininity.

*That woke idiots can convince themselves that men are women - and that it is Islamophobic to say otherwise - is part of a greater and far more worrying trend that requires an article unto itself.

I Lost Friends & Subscribers

Every time one of these esteemed and dignified journalists legitimised women-beating, they laid a glove on the respectability of the alternative reporters. When I first posted about Imane, I wrote about how nervous I was about doing so.

I lost friends. But more importantly, from a legal defamation perspective, I lost subscribers. I know the same is true of countless others, while the mainstream dragged the reputations of Musk and Rowling, in particular, through the mud.

But what is lost in all of this is that the buck truly stops with this person:
