This is the same deflection atheists have been getting from the religious since time immemorial. "Why can't you just respect our woo??". Do you have an answer to those questions?

What proof would you accept? Why do you believe without proof that he is female?

Addendum, this is fucked up
This is clearly gaslighting. Liberals are fucking up hard here and will drive people away.

That's fine. I'm atheist, and don't subscribe to your religion, because I care about science.

Then you'll believe that it's a DSD case? They had to correct a statement that they put out
They know he has a DSD and don't care. You'll also then believe that the entirety of their "checking" was "yup, his passport says female"?

What you saw, as independently verified by two different labs, is a man punching a woman.

Deflection doesn't change that we all saw a man punching a woman and getting cheered for it
Seeing the discussion about this get censored heavily was enlightening. The modlog had some of the best comments. Imane Khelif is an intersex man that has the advantage of male puberty because he has XY chromosomes. He, like many intersex men, was born with ambiguous genitalia that looked like a vulva (but almost certainly didn't have an actual female reproductive system). He was AFAB in the correct sense of the term, but is relying on incorrect paperwork to compete in women's boxing. Lemmy should be horrified at a dude punching women, not providing a smokescreen by saying "But Russia!". The IBA had the tests done by independent labs that confirmed he is male, possibly with a DSD. They're corrupt, but not in any way that affects this. If Khelif wants to prove them wrong and ensure that nobody ever believes the IBA ever again, he can get a simple cheek swab and show the world. Sex is not hard. XY is male, XX is female. If something goes wrong with that, then you're intersex. Leave women's sports to women (XX). Intersex people can compete in men's sports. Anything else is going to push women out of sports completely, because they have a biological disadvantage against men. If the Olympics doesn't re-institute sex testing, we're going to end up with "Men's" and "Men with DSD" divisions.
