🔬 The Myth of Gender Binary and Intersexuality

The paragraph addresses the misconceptions surrounding intersexuality and the gender binary. It refutes the claim that intersex individuals disprove the gender binary, clarifying that intersexuality is a medical condition affecting a very small percentage of the population, around 0.18%. The speaker emphasizes that intersexuality is defined by a mismatch between phenotypic sex and chromosomal sex, not by gender identity. The paragraph also criticizes the inclusion of an Algerian boxer with male chromosomes in a women's Olympic event, arguing that this is a result of confusion and incorrect application of gender ideology, rather than a valid challenge to the sex binary.

🥊 The Impact of Gender Ideology on Women's Sports

This paragraph discusses the consequences of gender ideology on women's sports, using the example of an Algerian boxer, Iman Khif, who was disqualified from a women's boxing event due to DNA testing confirming male chromosomes. Despite reports of a disorder affecting primary sex characteristics, the speaker argues that this does not equate to intersexuality and should not justify participation in women's sports. The narrative criticizes the International Olympic Committee's lack of chromosome testing and reliance on testosterone guidelines, which are seen as insufficient and potentially dangerous for female athletes. The paragraph also highlights the emotional impact on female athletes like Angela Kini, who had to withdraw from the Olympics due to facing a male opponent.

10:01

💬 The Debate on Gender Ideology and Feminism

The speaker critiques the connection between feminism and gender ideology, arguing that feminist arguments about the social construct of sex differences have paved the way for the current situation in sports. They claim that feminists have historically downplayed biological sex differences, leading to policies that allow males to compete against females, which can result in unfair and dangerous conditions for female athletes. The paragraph also addresses the reluctance of some female athletes and commentators to speak out against these policies for fear of backlash, and criticizes the BBC's boxing commentator for downplaying the severity of an injury sustained by a female boxer in a match against a male opponent.

15:03

⚠️ The Urgency for Recognizing Biological Sex in Sports

In this paragraph, the speaker warns of the potential tragic consequences if the current policies regarding gender and sports are not reevaluated. They suggest that it may take a severe incident, such as a death in a women's sports event, to prompt a change in attitudes and regulations. The speaker criticizes the prevailing attitude that dismisses the biological realities of sex and chromosomes, and calls for a return to recognizing these as fundamental to fair competition. They also express skepticism that the expert class will take responsibility for the outcomes of their policies, predicting that they will feign surprise if a tragedy occurs.

Keywords

💡Gender Ideology

Gender ideology refers to a set of beliefs that challenge traditional gender roles and the binary understanding of gender, advocating for the recognition of non-binary and fluid gender identities. In the video, the speaker argues against this ideology, using the example of intersex individuals to discuss the misconceptions around gender and the potential consequences of blurring gender lines in sports.

💡Intersex

Intersex is a term used to describe individuals who are born with sex characteristics, such as chromosomes, gonads, or genitals, that do not fit typical binary notions of male or female bodies. The video script discusses the misuse of the term 'intersex' by gender activists to inflate the number of people who do not fit the traditional gender binary.

💡Chromosomes

Chromosomes are thread-like structures of DNA and protein found in the nucleus of animal and plant cells. They carry genetic information for the development, growth, and reproduction of all organisms. In the context of the video, the presence of Y chromosomes is used to define biological males, emphasizing the importance of genetic factors in determining sex.

💡Transgender

Transgender refers to individuals whose gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth. The video distinguishes between being intersex and identifying as transgender, highlighting that the latter is a self-identification, whereas the former is a medical condition.

💡Biological Sex

Biological sex is the classification of organisms based on their reproductive structures and functions, typically male or female. The video script emphasizes the importance of biological sex in determining eligibility for participation in gender-specific sports.

💡Gender Activism

Gender activism is the advocacy for the recognition and rights of individuals who do not identify with the gender they were assigned at birth. The speaker in the video criticizes gender activism for spreading misinformation about the prevalence of intersex individuals and the nature of gender.

💡Olympics

The Olympics is an international multi-sport event featuring summer and winter games in which thousands of athletes participate in a variety of competitions. The video discusses a specific incident at the Olympics where an Algerian boxer with male chromosomes competed against a female opponent, illustrating the debate over gender and sports.

💡Testosterone

Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone and an anabolic steroid. In the video, the speaker mentions testosterone levels as a factor considered by some sports organizations when determining eligibility for gender-specific events, though the speaker argues that this is insufficient and that the presence of a Y chromosome is the defining factor.

💡Feminism

Feminism is a social, political, and cultural movement that seeks to establish and achieve equal rights, opportunities, and treatment for women. The video script suggests that some feminists have contributed to the current debate over gender in sports by promoting the idea that sex differences are social constructs, which the speaker argues has led to the inclusion of biological males in women's sports.

💡Sports Segregation

Sports segregation refers to the practice of separating athletes by sex or gender for the purpose of competition. The video argues against the inclusion of biological males in women's sports, regardless of their gender identity, to maintain fairness and safety in competition.

💡Men's Rights Movement

The Men's Rights Movement is a collection of various social, political, and legal movements and groups that focus on issues affecting men and boys. The video script mentions this movement in the context of criticism, suggesting that some mistakenly believe it is driving the inclusion of males in women's sports, whereas the speaker argues that the actual cause is feminist ideology.

Transcripts

one of the most common arguments you'll

hear in defense of gender ideology is

that some people are intersex and

therefore the gender binary is a myth

now that's what we're told it's a non

secer as I've explained many times and

it's usually accompanied by a series of

additional lies you'll often hear wildly

inflated numbers from gender activists

about how many interex people there are

in the world you also hear various

definitions for what it means to be

interex those definitions are often

tailored to that so that uh they can

inflate know the number of people who

qualify as INX but here's the only

definition that has any meaning as

Leonard sax framed it being INX means

that your phenotypic sex meaning your

primary sex characteristics is

inconsistent with your chromosomal sex

for example someone with Y chromosomes

is biologically male and normally has

male genitalia but if that person

develops female genitalia or genitalia

that appear female then that person

would be a biological male who suffers

from

intersexuality now other the other on

the other hand if someone is born with Y

chromosomes and then chooses to remove

his male genitalia through surgery that

individual would not suddenly become

interex there's no comparison whatsoever

between being interex and identifying as

transgender these are two different

things being interex is a

condition uh it's a medical condition

it's not a choice and it's a condition

that a vanishingly small percentage of

the population suffers from something

like

0.18% of the population and this is all

just basic biology um or at least that's

what it used to be considered but

because people still take gender

activist seriously at least some people

do there's a lot of confusion in this

area and at the Olympics the other day

that confusion led to a male somebody

with XY chromosomes pummeling a woman in

the face at a women's boxing event on

live television this male an Algerian

named Iman khif was reportedly DNA

tested at the Women's World Boxing

championships in New Delhi last year by

an organization called IBA and officials

at the time disqualified kif from the

competition because testing confirmed a

y chromosome which means again that khif

is a male there are reports of some sort

of a disorder affecting the primary sex

characteristics I can't verify those uh

either way the fact remains that

whatever condition this person may or

may not suffer from whether it's an

intersection condition or something else

khif is a male by definition INX is just

a word we've come up with to describe

people who suffer from certain

conditions and deformities inter sex is

not a third sex it's not an exception to

the rule of the sex binary there are no

exceptions okay everybody is either male

or female everyone a male that we call

intersex May because of his condition

appear

female potentially but

he's still a

male um however the international

Olympic Committee which is overseeing

the boxing competition at the Paris

Olympics apparently doesn't care about

chromosomes according to the Washington

Post the ioc does not test for gender

now it's not really clear what that

means Ian does that mean that they let

LeBron James compete in the women's

basketball

tournament what it appears to mean based

on reporting that I found is that the

ioc allows different events to implement

some testosterone

guidelines not rules but just guidelines

which can vary event by event and if

that's the case it obviously would be

completely useless for a few reasons one

of them is that even if you have low

levels of testosterone now you might

have had very high levels in the past

which would contribute to increased

muscle strength bone growth Etc the

other reason is that having high levels

of testosterone doesn't make you a man

in and of itself having a y chromosome

makes you a man

and a man with low testosterone even a

man with very low

testosterone is just a man with very low

testosterone that's still not a

woman but sporting competitions like the

rest of society have uh many of them

have caved to gender activists on this

point and that's why the Algerian males

fight with Italy's female boxer Angela

Kini ended in just 46 seconds watch

[Music]

solid straight right

hand

from now one of the things about all

these uh gender tests and DNA tests is

that I mean really for the most part

they're not even necessary like looking

at that footage anyone can instantly

tell that Angela Kini was fighting a

male I mean we said at the top that

there are in sex conditions where

someone is a male by biologically but

because of of things that have gone

wrong may appear female from the outside

that can happen in very vanishingly rare

cases but this isn't even one of those

cases I mean you can look and you can

see the absurdity of the

situation her opponent is obviously much

stronger than she is this is obviously

an unfair fight uh there's just there

there aren't any females on the planet

who look like this boxer from Algeria

and of course it took just one hit to

the face for Angela arini to figure out

that she was in danger after working her

whole life her whole life to get to the

Olympics and and competing uh in them

something that obviously meant a lot to

her based on her interviews after the

fact and based on the fact that it's the

Olympics she had to quit because the ioc

put a maale in the boxing ring with her

she didn't want to quit but reality

quite literally hit her in the face so

she had no choice now trans activists

have claimed that the fact that this

male boxer apparently isn't trans that's

the claim anyway again I don't I don't

know for sure um the fact that khif is

allegedly

intersex that that somehow proves their

point about the women's sports issue but

of course it does the opposite because

those of us on the side of Common Sense

have always said that segregating Sports

based on sex has nothing to do with

transgenderism we are not trying to keep

males out of women's sports because were

engaged in some kind of uh you know

discriminatory plot against trans people

we don't care if the male competing

against women is trans or not his

self-identification is totally

irrelevant that is our point it's what

we've been saying the whole time trans

intersex or something else it doesn't

matter okay if somebody is male if they

have a y chromosome they should not

compete against

women when you ban males from women

Sports you are not Banning trans

identified people for women's sports

this is not a trans ban as it's so often

called no it's got you you can write

these laws and these policies and never

make any mention of trans because it's

beside the point you are Banning males

no matter how they identify or what

genetic condition they may or may not

have all that matters is that they are

male

that's it for these purposes all that

matters is that they're

male but um if you think that you know

violent episodes like this are going to

make the trans activists admit that uh

you know they're wrong um and so wrong

that now actual women are being

endangered and this of course actual

women have been endangered by this for a

long time now you should know that

there's precisely zero chance of that

they're not going to admit anything

these people have assumed such a of

power that even their victims don't want

to criticize them for fear of losing

their livelihoods and that's true in

this case as well in a post-fight

statement Angela Kini stated quote I

felt a severe pain in my nose and with

the majority of a boxer I said enough

because I didn't want to I didn't want

to I I couldn't finish the match I'm not

here to judge or pass judgment if an

athlete is this way and in that sense

it's not right or it is right it's not

up to me to decide I just did my job as

a boxer I got into the ring and fought I

did it with my head held high and with a

broken heart for not having finished the

last

kilometer now what's interesting about

that statement is you know how how

common this sort of thing is she says

it's not up to me to decide whether a

male can compete in a women's event and

that you know that's true technically

but doesn't mean she can't have an

opinion on it and if enough female

athletes started sharing their opinion

and stopped participating in this

charade it it would end very quickly now

of course some Brave female athletes

have been quite vocal about this Riley

Gaines for example she's not the only

one

but still most most even now remain

silent uh for fear of the consequences

of speaking out and it's worth

mentioning something else too

um some of the women who are are our

vocal opponents of gender

ideology still feel the need to frame

this conversation in the terms of

left-wing

victimology so yesterday in response to

this story the children's author JK

rling wrote quote could any picture sum

up our new men's Rights Movement better

the smirk of a male who knows he's

protected by a misogynous sporting

establishment enjoying the distress of a

woman he's just punched in the head and

whose life ambition he's just

shattered now I agree with her on the

points right about what po the policies

should be in place and the fact that uh

men should be competing against women so

we agree on that fundamental

point but the problem with Rowling's

attempt to blame this on the men's

Rights

Movement whatever that is is that first

of all there is no men's Right Movement

at least not one with any degree of

power right

now okay like anyone who identifies

themselves as a men's rights activist

these are people who have no power

whatsoever in

society um and there certainly isn't a

men's Rights Movement that's pushing

trans

ideology okay in fact if if you if you

find anyone one who would identify

themselves with men's rights you could

pretty much guarantee that that is not

someone who supports trans

ideology instead what we saw in Paris

this week is a natural

consequence not of men's rights or the

patriarchy it's a natural consequence of

the ideology that feminists have been

pushing for decades it was feminists who

argued that sex differences are mostly

social constructs that are exploited by

patriarchal oppressors feminists are the

ones who laid the groundwork for the

idea that there's no job a man can do

that a woman can't do

better okay they came up with that men

and women are equal they could do the

same things gender is a social construct

that came from

feminism and once you believe that lie

then you get this you get women in the

boxing ring with men getting violently

assaulted and it's precisely because of

feminist that this Insanity will

continue

by refusing to identify the problem and

how we got here they're making it

impossible to solve

it JK ring has said a lot of things on

this issue that I agree with she's done

a lot of good on this

issue but she can't help but pivot it

every time back to patriarchy and you

know this is all a plot by men even

though by the way it's mostly women

actually who support gender

ideology and the polls will show you

that every time in this country country

especially

um and so these the even the feminists

who who oppose it now they are not

willing to look at their own their own

ideology which is feminism to see that

that's that's where this stuff that's

what this stuff is grounded in in fact

they they share the same if it didn't

come from feminism they're on the same

uh tree okay they they they share the

same

Roots now this Algerian male is

scheduled to fight hungary's first

Olympic women's boxer Anna Luca hore Ham

hamori on Saturday and uh what's her

reaction well she said quote I don't

care about the Press story in social

media if she or he is a man it'll be a

bigger victory for me if I

win now again this is stock feminist

rhetoric uh sounds great on

posters sounds great you know in the

classroom but when you're getting

punched in the face suddenly none of

that rhetoric matters all that matters

is reality and right now A lot of people

are choosing to ignore reality they're

choosing to ignore we all just saw even

after what happened at the fight on

Thursday BBC's boxing commentator Steve

bunts suggested that Kini wasn't

actually hit all that severely

listen BBC Radio 5 Liv's boxing

commentator Steve bunts was there and

Steve this seems extraordinary can you

talk us through what happened I'd like

to I have no idea what happened I was

watching a fight for 46 seconds a fight

that people have been talking about and

writing about and and and pontificating

about for about about 10 days and 46

seconds after it started it finished

there was half a blo and there was a

right hand and Angela Karina turned

around said something to a corner man

they got up on the apron uh kif stood in

the middle of the Ring there was

confusion and then the referee waved it

off uh she'd quit after being hit with

one solid right hand punch right and

there was there were some reports that

Angela Karin's nose might have been

broken do we can we substantiate that

well I'm not a doctor but I have been at

ringside for nearly 40 years and I've

seen damaged hurt injured boxers I've

seen boxers male and female in tears on

their knees absolutely B booze but I've

seen them up close and and I saw I saw

the this fighter karini up close I was

five feet from her six minutes after the

fight her nose wasn't broken her nose

wasn't

bleeding well she didn't have a mark on

her uh he says everyone's just

pontificating that's the BBC's boxing

expert and of course you know these are

not people who care about the safety of

women they're mocking women even after

they take the worst hit of their lives

to the to you know to the face from an

opponent who's clearly a male in a

women's

competition and this appears to be the

prevailing attitude right now there are

no indications that the ioc is going to

take any additional steps to protect the

women in these

competitions there's another maale boxer

ly Yu of uh Taiwan who's set to go up

against a woman at another event uh get

and I think that happened

today we seem to be at the point that

it's going to take what a woman to die

in one of these events for the powers

that beat to wake up to the fact that

Concepts like sex and chromosomes are

real and in fact if something as

horrible is that did happen it's quite

possible at this point that the expert

class will pretend to be shocked by it

who could have seen this coming it's a

tragedy they'll

say but the thing about reality is that

it's not political it asserts itself

whether we like it or not and based on

what's happening right now in Paris we

appear to be rapidly approaching the

moment when reality asserts itself with

tragic

consequences if You' like to see what
