The boxer (Imane Khelif) id a male, same as Caster Semenya. They both have a genetic disorder, you can find the story online. Any deeper examination or genetic test would confirm this. This is a very rare condition and you will notice that cases only appear in third world countries because they don't have enough tests/knowledgeable doctors or they might now want to acknowledge the reality because of cultural/religious concerns.

Japanese desserts are much sweeter than Western ones because they traditionally ate it with the bitter green tea.

A woman cannot have the same level of testosterone of a man except very rare cases of DSD but yes any woman, meaning an adult human female, regardless of her hormone level is entitled to women only spaces.

@SomeWeeb
You don't seem to understand the problem. Tell me why are there sex segregated spaces? Why are sports divided between males and females?
To ensure fairness, safety, dignity and privacy.
These rules have existed for thousands of years. Males and females are genetically different. Not all men are dangerous or perverts or voyeurs but this is where safeguarding comes into place. We are safeguarding women and girls to ensure their safety, privacy and dignity and to ensure fairness.
Men can "identify" in whatever they want, it does not allow them to use women-only spaces and compete in women only competition. 1 man is enough to take the gold medal, qualify for a scholarship, get an award or sexually assault a woman. 1 man is too much. Men stay with men and leave women spaces alone.

Experts suggest leaving career work and daily responsibilities alone about an hour before bed. Don’t check email, pay bills, do chores or scroll endlessly through social media. Instead, create a routine where you relax with a book, indulge in a hobby or spend time with loved ones.

Posted in: Thousands rally in Australian capitals to demand gender violence justice See in context
As usual here, some men trying to compare violence against women Vs violence against men.
This is not the point. Check the stats, the facts on every country, women are the vast majority of the victims of violence by a current of former partner. And most of the perpetrators are men.
Don't be offended men. It does not men all men are violent, it means current of former male partners are the majority of the perpetrators and women the majority of the victims.
This is a fact and this is something that should not happen.
Men are more violent than women due to biological reasons, namely testosterone.

Glad to see most of the posters here have common sense and are concerned about children, women and same sex attracted people.
Let's keep protecting them and keep stating the obvious facts:
Gay and lesbians are same sex attracted. They should not converted into loving/being attracted to a "same-gender" person.
Children should be protected against chemical castration and puberty blockers.
Women are entitled to same-sex spaces, not "same-gender" spaces and these categories have been designed for safety, privacy and dignity.8 ( +15 / -7 )

The book explains what has been happening in the West, mostly to girls but yes also to some boys.
We are talking about breast removal (aka top surgery) and phalloplasty and metoidioplasty (aka down surgery). Very sad and gruesome, look it up online.

For people saying "transgender rights" and asking why bathroom always comes into discussion, here is something: Do you know why bathrooms and other public places where women are vulnerable (lockers, fitting rooms, toilets...)are segregated ?
This is to ensure safety for women.
You can look up all the statistics: unisex places have way more incidents that segregated places.

She might fear he starts pushing/stalking/abusing
She might fear he misinterpret her actions if she has to interact with him at work
She might fear he starts talking about it to colleaguesWork is work and no-one should ask someone out during office hours or official events. It can create confusion, fear or a tense situation.

The problem is about people "changing gender". This should not be allowed in any case. People's sex cannot be changed and gender are just stereotypes not always true associated with 1 sex.
No male should go into women's toilets, changing rooms, competitions or awards or any single sex facilities.

"Bear bells' do not work. They are just very annoying for anyone walking nearby you. Can we please dispell this myth?
Bear bells may be a popular item to put on your backpack, but they don’t effectively warn a bear you’re in the area. Bears won’t hear the bells until you’re too close. Yelling, clapping, and talking are more effective ways of alerting a bear to your presence.

Maybe you have not read what happened, despite the fact that a kind reader added a link to the human watch article explaining the story. So let me copy/paste it for you:
The media reports say these women were given no information and did not have an opportunity to provide informed consent. Forced gynecological examinations can amount to sexual assault. Media also reported that authorities removed and examined additional women from the airport and other flights

The point is that no one should be sexually assaulted in the name of doing some checks. This is the police's job to perform an enquiry and take appropriate actions, and sexually assaulting someone is not an appropriate action.

Let's use clear working here:
The women were not subjected to an "invasive gynecological invasion", they were subjected to a rape.
And the reaction of the airline saying that the additional slots would have brought an additional 3B USD is despicable. Money does not win over justice, at least in Australia. Great job by Australia but I wish the international response would have been stronger. I always warn all the women I know not to fly to any Middle East country, sending the link to this story as a lot of people, especially women are still unaware of it.
Be careful ladies!

What is more important? Protecting and preventing any future victims or the feelings of the rapist and his family?
