I Have Done A Very Stupid Thing

Ok so he may have hoodwinked the IOC into letting him beat up women but he's having a turkish now. They let you punch women and gave you a gold medal. Take the win sunshine. 🥊👩
I'm sure Messrs. Musk and Rowling are quaking in their boots at the thought of being disciplined for expressing their thoughts.
This amused me from the report:
"Khelif said in response to the abuse: "I send a message to all the people of the world to uphold the Olympic principles and the Olympic Charter, to refrain from bullying all athletes. Because this has effects, massive effects. It can destroy people, it can kill people's thoughts, spirit and mind. It can divide people. And because of that, I ask them to refrain from bullying."
Khelif obviously enjoys a massive physical advantage over female opponents in the boxing ring. Whether this comes from an excess of testosterone or the presence of male chromosomes - or anything else for that matter - makes no difference. It is clear that advantage did not come from a bit more weight training than the "traditional" female opponents who participated managed to put in.
A competition is supposed to be fair. Any advantages that can be gained must be firstly legal and secondly available to all competitors. Whatever the cause of Khelif's dysmorphia, it is either illegal or not available to all competitors. So, unfortunate as it is, partipation in women's events should not be available.
It seems a bit rich for someone who clearly has these unfair physical advantages and who uses them in a physical contest where the principle aim is to hurt one's opponent, to accuse somebody who expresses their views on the activity as a "bully".

Hopefully this will work......

I can't speak for Musk, but JKR does not have "issues", and it drives me up the wall the way she's described as "gender critical".
What JKR does it state the undeniable fact that sex is immutable, and that it is unfair that TGs expect to be allowed in to women's spaces and it is most certainly unfair that TGs compete against women in sport.
JKR's views chime with the views of the vast majority the population. The TG lobby, Stonewall and the achingly right-on may not like this, but it is a fact.
Prudie 14:10, the only reason I use "they" when talking about Imane Khelif is to avoid leaving another topic for argument for anyone willing to take it.
And no, personally I haven't seen Khelif naked, nor do I want to. It's been long established that she is not trans, and was born and raised as a female in Algeria, a country were changing your birth gender is illegal.
