Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

Imane Khelif is just the latest victim of idiotic transvestigators.

I've been mentioning this specifically in the context of Imane Khelif.

Even if she has XY chromosomes, you can have XY chromosomes and look biologically female with your clothes off.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_gonadal_dysgenesis

If the test revealed she had a Y chromosome, whether she is XXY or XY (and that has not been made clear at all), she may not have even known. And any partners she had would have thought she was cis as well.

Brittney Griner is as "manly" as Imane Khelif, but only the craziest of the TERFs claim she's not a woman.
