  • Afaik the IOC did all the standard testing on her and didn’t find any issues (no doping, normal testosterone levels, etc). Idk if they did a genetic sex test - I’d imagine that isn’t standard. Is that correct? Regardless of the Russian-run boxing federation’s intentions, I’d still trust the IOC’s findings over theirs.

    Plus, even if she was XXY or something, does that actually have any impact on athletic performance? I’d imagine not

    Edi: yep. Looks like it is widely believed that having a y chromosome is unfair, but the science doesn’t necessarily back that up.

    “improved understanding about genetic factors that lead to selection in sport should offer reassurance that female athletes with hyperandrogenism do not possess any physical attribute relevant to athletic performance that is neither attainable, nor present in other women.”

  • TL;DR: My man realized we’re in a capitalist death cult because a system built on unlimited growth in a world with limited resources is unsustainable, no surprises there. That Crypto is a ponzi scheme (yep, we’re way ahead of you, bud). And proceeds to blame the left for using ACAB as a slogan and 1980s television and post-apocalyptic movies and the Beatles and Stanley Kubrick saying they’re supposed to have brainwashed us and have stopped us from learning the truth about capitalism somehow as part of some conspiracy with Harvard. I’m gonna pass on this manifesto and plant myself on the: “this guy should’ve gotten help” side

    Edit: shit how’d I forget the Simpsons?

    The Palestinian people, as a whole, certainly have the moral high ground given the Israeli government’s decades long campaign of genocide and apartheid against them.

    However, if you mean “actors on both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict have done reprehensible things,” then of course that is the case. Hamas and the Israeli military have both committed great and serious crimes against civilians.

    But only one side has the power to begin negotiations or seriously affect genocide against the other, and that’s Israel - and thus far, they have decided on the genocide route. Supporting the Palestinian people in this conflict is not the same as endorsing Hamas’ actions.
